Beyblade Burst! B-14 Wyvern Armed Massive Starter Review


B-14 Wyvern Armed Massive Starter set!


Layout of Contents:
01 x Layer: Wyvern
01 x Disk: Armed
01 x Driver: Massive
01 x BeyLauncher (Violet)
Stickers

Layer: Wyvern

Motif: Flying dragon-like creatures with a barbed tail
Point: 7 blade-like wings/barb in the right direction reduces Impact against opponents Beyblade. 


Chance of Burst Finish decreases as 'wings' pushes attacks away from the gaps of the Layer..


Weight: 7.36 grams


Approximate Maximum Attack Diameter: 49mm (4.9cm)


The base of the Layer has a 'Ring' type PVC section under the Poly Carbonate outer Layer and even under the 'blades'. With only two contact point the Wyvern has a much lower weight distribution. The PVC lined inner sections reduced self recoil impact, in turn decrease recoil movement. Overall balance of the Layer is also much higher.

Disk: Armed

Armed is a really unique Disk as its the first of its kind to resemble a 'shell' cover design. 'A' marked on the Disk to signify 'Armed'



The shell-like armor covers most of the exposed 'non-defensive' portion of the Driver. There are also 4 solid mass points and 4 hollow ones surrounding the lower walls or the Armed Disk. This lowers the centrifugal spin force of the Bey, reduces tilt and increase stability.


The Armed Disk hides the Driver under its Armor and only expose the Driver's main bottom area. Do note that the lower Disk will deplete spin ratio once in contact with the stadium surface upon a fatal tilt angle, so avoid applying high movement and tilt configurations. 


Weight: 19.82 grams


Approximate Diameter: 39.8mm (3.9cm)

Driver: Massive

Singular Burst Module, with a wide spherical ball with 3 'claw-like' fins surrounding the outer area. The Jagged fins, helps to increase movement to steer away from sudden tilts upon surface contact but compromises on spin ratio if to frequently occured. 


Massive resembles the previous Metalfight Defense Bottom, Wide Ball (WB). 



Weight: 5.47 grams

Beylauncher (Violet)

Also known as the String Launcher, is probably a long awaited release and staple for all bladers. Being the most powerful Beylauncher among the series, this popular addition will be stocked and proves to be a great selling combo with the Wyvern Starter Pack. The rip string is approximately 47.7cm in length with a cyclic ratio of 5.5 turns.


The general pull of the Beylauncher is relatively smooth but a proper Beylauncher Grip is highly recommended as the grip area on the launcher can be quite bad.

Summary: 

Defense Type B-14 Wyvern Armed Massive, has a low impact Layer but the defense 'blades' have too many gaps for attack Beys to intercept. The Armed Disk keeps low attack out of reach but compromises tilt recovery due to lack of spin ratio. The Massive Driver is great for tilt recovery with the right Disk but can do better without the 'claw-like' fins. Overall the Wyvern Armed Massive is a good addition to any bladers/ collectors as its intros a few new parts that might be of better potential in the near future. The plus point would be the String Beylauncher which will be much needed to be stocked for avid Bladers out there.

A 7/10 Bey to add to the collection.

Feedback from Bladers.

There have been some feedback from fellow bladers out there whom have their experiences with the Wyvern Layer. Apparently the first batch of the Wyvern Layer seems to get stuck in the Beylauncher clip very often due to a bad molded slot. The clip gap was a few millimeter too small and the Wyvern wasn't able to dislodge from the clip upon launching the Bey. On this, the new batch of String Beylaunchers will have a slightly thinner Clip and the issue should be solved. But meanwhile, some simple sanding to the Wyvern clip gap should be able to solve this issue.
