Face Bolt - Lynx[]

Main article: Face Bolt - Lynx

The Face Bolt depicts "Lynx", one of the 88 constellations in space. The Face Bolt print simply depicts the head of a lynx. The Face Bolt stickers feature a spot pattern based on those of a lynx, similar to the Energy Ring stickers.

Energy Ring - Lynx[]

Main article: Energy Ring - Lynx

Lynx is a two-sided Energy Ring with curved sides that emulate the paws of a lynx. It has two notches in between the sides that is slightly curved. Due to its two-sided symmetrical shape, Lynx is better used in tandem with two-sided Fusion Wheels such as Beat for improved weight distribution. Like other 4D Clear Wheels, Lynx contains iron powder, which was advertised by Takara Tomy to increase the weight of the Energy Ring.

Fusion Wheel - Beat[]

Main article: Fusion Wheel - Beat (Hasbro)

The Hasbro version of Beat is a two-sided Fusion Wheel, with slopes resembling those of Vulcan. Like Vulcan, these "wings" provide Smash Attack and act as Beat's main contact points. This Fusion Wheel is intended to be a modified version of the 4D System Beat 4D Metal Wheel, and as such resembles Beat in its "Attack Mode". There are triangular designs resembling cat ears on each side of the Fusion Wheel, which emulates the PC Frame of the Beat 4D Metal Wheel. Like all Hasbro variants of 4D Metal Wheels, Beat is a singular piece and is hollowed out, weighing much less than the original.

Spin Track - Armor Defense 145[]

AD145
Main article: Spin Track - Armor Defense 145

Armor Defense 145 (AD145) is shaped like the head of a funnel, being primarily circular with two curved protrusions that line down in order to act as "armor". There are also two smaller protrusions between it, creating gaps. Like Gravity, even though Armor Defense 145 was intended for Defense Type combinations, it was overshadowed by Spin Tracks like GB145 and 230 as it cannot absorb hits as efficiently and is too light. However, due to this, Armor Defense 145 has found use as a top-tier Spin Track for Stamina combinations because of its unique design.

Performance Tip - Wide Defense[]

Main article: Performance Tip - Wide Defense

Wide Defense (WD) retains the two curved holes D contained but are now thinner, smaller and found on the Sharp tip.

Being wider brings advantages and disadvantages to WD. An advantage is being able to conserve better Stamina than D and SD, due to the more surface area as well as being able to spin at a lower spin-rate that that of D or SD which cannot. A disadvantage however, is that it is worse at regaining balance than D. The wide shape gives WD a harder time to regain its balance whereas, D does it much easier. This should take into consideration when using a Spin Track such as 230 or TH170. D would be a better choice than WD as it would regain balance much easier to help cope with 230. However, while D can regain balance better, it cannot maintain it as well as WD, especially with the heights of 170 and above.

At release, WD has found quick use as a Stamina-Type Tip, much better than D and has become top-tier. Despite this however, as many more Performance Tips like AS, EWD, and B:D were released; they have overshadowed WD. EWD has also overshadowed WD due to EWD's bearing to regain balance better and much better Stamina. W²D performs basically the same as WD though but with worse balance but better attack.

Wide Defense (WD) has significant defensive capabilities as well, but because it still uses a form of sharp tip, its friction with the stadium floor is decreased, which as a result makes it easier to knock around than a Tip like WB which has much more friction with the stadium floor. But since it can recover quickly, it does not matter.

Some Bladers experience a fast movement from Wide Defense, allowing the Wide Defense tip with fast movement to be paired with high-recoil fusion wheels such as Vulcan, Beat, Fang, Spiral, Flash, or Variares, to create powerful, or even a 1-Hit KO Attack-type combos, or be paired with low-recoil fusion wheels such as Bakushin, Duo, Gravity (Perseus Stamina), Fusion, Wing, Death to create counter-attacking Defense-Type combos.

Trivia[]

  • Gravity Destroyer AD145WD has the same Spin Track and Performance Tip combo.
  • Despite the fact that its Spin Track was changed, it shows TH170 on the back of the packaging instead of AD145.
    • This was likely because a prototype was used for the product images.
