Spiral or Screw (スクリュー, Sukuryū) is a Fusion Wheel released by Takara Tomy as part of the Hybrid Wheel System. It debuted in Japan with the release of the BB-102 Booster Screw Capricorne 90MF on January 22, 2011, and in western countries with the release of the BB-102 Starter Pack Spiral Capricorn 90MF.
Description
Spiral resembles a distorted version of Storm with three wings that curve upwards and line down with a small gap between each wing. Each wing has a slope that is bigger than the other one, and features oval-like protrusions that appears to slightly push-up for Smash Attacks. Before its release, Spiral was advertised as having high Upper Attack due to the slopes, however upon testing, it did not show much Upper Attack at all.
While not having the correct slopes for Upper Attacks, it is however able to conduct Upper Smash Attacks. Spiral is a powerful Attack-Type Fusion Wheel but is outclassed by other Wheels like Beat, Lightning, and Variares. Despite this, Spiral can deal a great amount of Upper Smash Attack if used with the right Energy Ring. Specifically, small Energy Rings that expose more of the metal of Spiral, Pisces and Tempo are recommended, however Pisces has better use. Spiral can be used very effectively in the balance combo MF Spiral Tempo (Screw Horogium) 90MF.
Overall
Although Spiral has high Attack performance, it is heavily outclassed in the WBO's Metal Fight Standard, Zero-G, and 4D formats. However, it finds use in the Limited format, where it is a top-tier Attack Type Fusion Wheel.
As such, Spiral is a must have for competitive Bladers in the WBO's Metal Fight Limited format.
