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.

Beyblade Burst! B-12 Deathscyther Oval Accel Starter Review

2nd Attack Tyoe Beyblade Review~

B-12 Deathscyther Oval Accel Starter set!


Layout of Contents:
01 x Layer: Deathscyther 
01 x Disk: Oval
01 x Driver: Accel
01 x BeyLauncher Light
01 x BeyWinder (Normal)
Stickers

Layer: Deathscyther

Motif: Grim Reaper
Point: 4 symmetrical 'Scythe' blades boost Impact against opponents Beyblade. 


Chance of Burst Finish increases with more defined edges.


Weight: 7.98 grams


Approximate Maximum Attack Diameter: 47mm (4.7cm)


The base of the Layer has an irregular PVC section under the Poly Carbonate outer Layer. Only one side of the Layer has an interlaced PVC section, the other side is hollowed. With only two contact point the Deathscyther has a lower weight distribution. The PVC lined inner sections reduced self recoil impact, the other hollowed section increases recoil impact and movement.

Disk: Oval

Oval as named is a oval shaped two sided weight distributed mass Disk. 'O' imprint signifies Oval.


The two sided irregular weight mass increases field movement and impact strength. 


Weight: 18.09 grams


Approximate Diameter: 41.3mm (4.1cm)
The Oval concentrates its mass on two sides of the BeyBlade. Increases movement intensively. Works the best with Attack Types Drivers.

Driver: Accel

The Driver is a singular unit that consist of the Burst Module, the Height Unit and the Bottom Unit. Accel is basically a H145F. Which is a Height 145 and a Flat Bottom combination in the previous Metalfight Series.



Weight: 5.68 grams

Summary: 

Attack Type B-12 Deathscyther Oval Accel, the Deathscyther is a semi hollow Attack type Layer. As half of the Polycarbonate Layer is hollowed it increases the possibility of high recoils during impact. The Disk Oval, increases field movement using its two sided weight mass ditribution, unfortunately compromising tilt and Stability, overall is a high Attack Beyblade with a relatively constant Burst capability due to its strong Impact Attacks. The only set back is the high possibility of Self Over Finish. A 8/10 Attack Type Bey for Bladers looking for more dynamic Attack approach.

Beyblade Burst! B-04 Kerbeus Central Defense Starter Review

4th Beyblade Burst in line, Defense Type~

B-04 Kerbeus Central Defense Starter set!

Layout of Contents:

01 x Layer: Kerbeus 
01 x Disk: Central
01 x Driver: Defense
01 x BeyLauncher Light
01 x BeyWinder (Normal)
Stickers

Layer: Kerbeus

Motif: 3 headed hell hound, Cerberus.
Point: Circular design with 16 'fangs' around the circumference of the Layer. The alternate jagged surface of the Layer recoils any impacts and reduces surface contact that depletes spin ratio.


Weight: 7.92 grams


Approximate Maximum Attack Diameter: 46.2mm (4.6cm)


The base of the Layer has a 'Ring' type PVC section under the Poly Carbonate outer Layer. With only two contact point the Kerbeus has a much lower weight distribution. The PVC lined inner sections reduced self recoil impact, in turn decrease recoil movement.

Disk: Central

Central is a circular weight distributed mass Disk with a lower 'step' outer ring. 'C' imprint signifies Central.


The lowering of the weight ring increases stability and reduces field movement. 


Weight: 19.92 grams


Approximate Diameter: 39mm (3.9cm)
The Central concentrates its mass on the outer ring of the BeyBlade. Works the best with Stamina/Defense Types Drivers.

Driver: Defense

Singular unit with a Burst Module. Defense is similar to the previous Metalfight set up of Defense 125 Ball (D125B).


Weight: 6.05 grams


The Defense Driver, uses its outer ring to create another layer of defense against lower attack when at a higher position. The 'fins' surrounding the Ball helps to recover the tilt by pushing the Bey away from any contact when tilted.

Summary: 

Defense Type B-04 Kerbeus Central Defense, the Kerbeus is a full Defense type Layer as the 'gaps' for intercept spin ratios are lower thus decreases the possibility of high recoils during impact. The Disk Central, lowers the centrifugal force and increases Stability,The Driver Defense, is an upgraded Ball with 'fins' to deflect any tilt or surface contact.
7/10 Beyblade for Defense Bladers and collectors.

Beyblade Burst! B-03 Ragnaruk Heavy Survive Starter Review

3rd Beyblade Burst in line, Stamina Type~

B-03 Ragnaruk Heavy Survive Starter set!

Layout of Contents:

01 x Layer: Ragnaruk 
01 x Disk: Heavy
01 x Driver: Survive
01 x BeyLauncher Light
01 x BeyWinder (Normal)
Stickers

Layer: Ragnaruk

Motif: Demon, Flames of Armageddon.
Point: A complete circular inner frame for Stamina with 2 main symmetrical Attack points.


Weight: 8.53 grams


Approximate Maximum Attack Diameter: 49mm (4.9cm)


The base of the Layer has a PVC section concentrated on two farthest points of the Poly Carbonate outer Layer. With only two contact point the Ragnaruk has a much lower weight distribution. The hollow inner sections increase recoil impact, in turn increases defense.

Disk: Heavy

Heavy as its name suggest is the most heaviest Disk so far in the series. With a full circular weight distribution and a 4 point enhanced weight points. Heavy emphasis on mass over any movement. Great for defending against Recoil Impacts. 'H' imprint signifies Heavy.


Weight: 21.48 grams


Approximate Diameter: 37mm (3.7cm)
At only 37mm, the Heavy concentrates its mass on the inner core of the BeyBlade. This centralize the spin balance at the core and reduces tilt. Works the best with Stamina/Defense Types Drivers.

Driver: Survive

Singular unit with a Burst Module. Survive is similar to the previous Metalfight set up of Height 145 Semi Defense (H145SD).



Weight: 5.61 grams


The Survive Driver though more of Semi Defense Design, is used as a Stamina setup in this version. The pointed tip reduces the surface contact and supports higher spin ratio. Using defense type base adds the 'Recover' factor upon strong Recoils.

Summary: 

Stamina Type B-03 Ragnaruk Heavy Fusion in review, the Layer Ragnaruk is more of an Attack Type as the 'gaps' for intercept spin ratios are higher thus increase the possibility of high recoils during impact. The Disk Heavy is high in mass but relatively tall and compromising in balance, only defense type base can counter the loss in low center of gravity. The Driver Survive, a defense type base is a great part to stock up due to the versatility to use both for a Stamina and Defense setup.
6/10 get Beyblade for collectors.
