Blade: Knight Shield

Weight: 32g (LOW END) - 32.6g (HIGH END)

Design: KnightShield is a blade that features a unique circular shape that features bumps that lift around on the blade. 

Defense Use: KnightShield is a pretty unique blade in that it doesn't have a traditional defence like we normally see in Beyblade. Rather, what Shield offers is the idea of counterattack. Counterattack can be defined as high recoil to tire out attack types with standing still. If you are using this on a defensive build or even a stamina one you will see glimpses of Shield throwing around Beyblades.

Stamina Use: Shield has a very good shape for its overall design and features solid enough stamina to contend with other blades like HellsScythe and WizardArrow. 

 Attack Vs Attack Use: Shield features high stamina and high recoil against beys it is facing against. Due to this along with the holes that are on the blade it is able to fly around around like crazy and give attackers beatings. You can manage to do pretty well and even outspin your opponents. 

Attack VS Stamina: Sadly even with LowFlat this is where it is going to require the skill of the Blader, Shield features a unique shape that makes it hard to get it to hit beys perfectly to be consistent for attack. 

Strengths:

• Good Stamina: KnightShield features decent to high stamina for its performance.  

• Counterattack Potential: KnightShield if used on defensive combinations, can be used to give attackers beatings while still having enough stamina to outlast them at the end.

• KO Revival?: Since Shield has a wavey design and wide shape it allows it to be able to pop out of the pocket and stay in the game sometimes.

Weaknesses:

• Gap On Blade: Knight Shield has a gap present on the Blade, while Shields unique design can prevent it from Bursting, one should be very careful in battle and launch with a tilt.

Gameplan: Be very careful with your launch and you want to see how your opponent is launching to either hard shoot force to the center or potentially tilt to get a bounce hit on your opponent. 

Anti Attack:KnightShield 3-60/4-60 Flat/Low Flat/Taper/Rush (Anti Attack is just for Attack VS Attack stuff where it has a lot of stamina and the goal is to defeat the attacker)

Stamina: KnightShield 3-60/5-60/3-80/5-80 Ball/Orb

Defense:KnightShield 3-60/5-60/3-80/5-80 Needle/HighNeedle

Ratchet: 4-60

Weight: 6.4g

• Design: 4-60 is a ratchet that has 4 sides and a low height, the contact areas for the ratchet are 4 small points.

• No real difference in consistent stamina: There doesn't seem to be a significant difference in stamina performance between the three-sided and four-sided versions of the Ratchet. Though this varies on combo to combo and should absolutely get tested if you are to try anything at all.  

Strengths: 

• Low Height: It is one of the lowest height ratchets, making it a great use for attack combinations or other low height setups depending on context.

Weakness:

• Four sides with smaller hit points: The Ratchet has four sides with small square contact points compared to a three-sided design. Despite having smaller hit points than three sides it actually makes it easier to hit since it is not as rounded off meshed onto the ratchet.

Bit: Low Flat

Weight: 2.1g

• Design: The LowFlat is 1mm shorter than the regular flat and doesn't have the hole in the middle that the regular flat does. Because of these factors, it is able to move a bit faster than the regular flat and not have nearly as much stamina. 

• Strengths:

• Great attack bit for Beyblade X: The Flat Bit is well-suited for aggressive playstyles and can be effective in offensive strategies. 

• Uses the Xtreme Dash gimmick easily: The Bit works well with the Xtreme Dash performance tip, allowing for high speed and KO potential.

• Able to pick up strong speeds and KO: The Bit excels in achieving high rotational speeds, making it proficient at knocking out opponents from the stadium.

• Burst Resistance: This bit has 80 Stats in Burst resistance, which makes it great to use due to minimal Burst risk.

Weaknesses:

• Low stamina: The Bit may not be ideal for battles that require endurance, as it lacks stamina. Stamina is important for outlasting opponents in long battles. In the context of a battle, if you get your hits at the start and don't miss, you have nothing to worry about. It is basically the same issue with Flat, just even more.

• Vulnerability to self-KO: If the Bit is hard-launched and catches the stadium path, it can self-KO, which is a potential weakness. Control and technique are essential when using this Bit. Due to it being super fast now and the modified design, this is even more of an issue. 

Gameplan:

• Flat launch or a somewhat tilted angle shoot: To maximize the effectiveness of this Bit, you can employ a flat launch or a slight angle to utilize the stadium's gimmicks and aim for knockouts.

• With Low Flat: It has a lot of speed and power, but stamina won't be there since it does have a slight advantage

Overall: Low Flat has a considerable improvement over regular flat for attack power and speed but has less stamina, due to it improving some blades that need fast hits to win it is a must have for any attack combo.
