I main Draciel and it's current gen homage Black Shell. I enjoy Draciel on 460 BS, but if I had 450 I would use that. 455 is a good option too. UN, LO, O. I main defense combos btw.

Folks make it into a mean attacker with 760 160 R, LR.

I would read that manga. Japan will make an anime or manga about anything. Super Yoyo. Fishing (forgot the name of the manga). You name it.

The cover of the graphic novel, a colored illustration by Daun Han depicting King in the foreground, Luz and Harpy Eda behind him, and the other cast of characters framing them including Willow, Hunter, Gus, Papa Titan, the Collector, and Amity.

We've been looking forward to sharing this news for a long time. We're making a graphic novel!

We're so excited to tell a brand new story.

Big Blader Spirit energy observed! Running a stylish deck > all other kinds of decks. Style is the hidden and most important stat in Beyblade.

Mega Man Legends mentioned!

I've been a Lance stan (and Knights in general), love seeing attention to Lance! 260/270 LF has been great for me. I do a slight back tilt to up the aggression while still not having the 2 snag or scrape. Real disgusting power.

Gonna be putting your combo through paces!

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.

He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

As you're the one yeeting your bey into battle.

youtube.com/@leftspinbeys2 is one of my fav channels and discord community as he keeps things down to earth and educational and hype as hell at the same time.

A beyblader imo. Expressing yourself through your beyblades is peak Blader Spirit. No one will remember your tourney wins or placement running the cookie cutter stuff. But if you're ultimately having fun running meta or not, that's all you need.

Unlike in TCGs, you have way more influence

One more thing: don't listen to people telling you you're beybladeing wrong. Meta comp is only meta because it's easiest to use and a lot of people stop at that. You can absolutely cook with any blade. Launch tech and understanding the physics of your combos and how they work is the true sauce of

Example. Buster is strongest fresh, but as it dulls from its big ohko use, it has noticable dips in win rate ratio.

That said, all that is just deep blade theory comp stuff. Buster will still perform well even worn as shit.

Of blades you really like and know you'll use constantly.

A lot of folks have a second one for testing if first one breaks and the third one kept fresh for tourney day as a lot of blades' peak performance is fresh or partly worn, falling off in effectiveness thereafter.

Dran Buster is a peak

To using it on 160 H as a testing dummy since it's one of the premiere meta combos.

Most blades aren't locked behind a stadium set like hover so you're not spending 25 bucks (when the stadiums on sale) for a new hover constantly.

In all honesty, buy what you like and buy an extra one or two

More or less. Parts like Low Rush wear fast as they're aggressive as hell, but you'll not see that fast wear unless you're relentlessly testing and battling.

Blade wear isn't gonna happen super fast either. I think my husband and I have gone through 4 wizard rods so far and that's due

So you got yourself some good backups as well as potential for trades at locals!

The Beyblade gods smiled upon you this day.

Hover is a meta tier blade right now but more importantly it's only obtained via the drop attack or the purple hover from lottos in Japan. Also Low Rush has only a few non drop attack releases and is a high demand bit.

Goldmine. Low Rush and Hover Wyvern stockkkk. If you don't use either, trades with local friends.

Finneas and Billie

Finneas is better at political messaging than 99% of the Democratic consultants in DC.

Ringgar poses by holding up a holding case for beyblades, featuring Flame Cerberus, Mummy Curse, and Phoenix Feather!

It's been a little bit since I posted about beyblade! Here are some recent acquisitions of mine. The Mummy Curse has seen a lot of tests already, been trying to see what works best in the worst case scenario. #beyblade #fursuit

People that run meta and are chill and don't diss you are great.

Run what you want how you want and you'll enjoy the hobby immensely more no matter what your goal is.

Fun in Beyblade X, for me, is getting to express myself (read: my Blader Spirit, to be a weeb about it). I've learned launch tech and can get my defensive needle bits to stall and rail ride and all that.

There's no wrong way to beyblade unless you're putting down someone for not running meta.

Every blade has a viability to some degree, though some take extra training and understanding to be able to perform against comp tier stuff.

Meta is only meta because it's easiest to use overall. Weight isn't the biggest deciding factor in this gen. Tech and understanding your combos goes far.

I run Draciel 460 Bound Spike and love it. Run what you like. There was a woman running all plastic gen (Dranzer, Draciel, Drigger) with Dragoon on the side and she cooked. I did manage to beat her Dranzer with my Draciel.

At tourneys I run whatever I want. If I do good, I do good.

Also Hasbro beys are the same as Takara Tomy beys. In past gens it wasn't but they all come from the same factory. Hasbro just distributes them in the west.
