Phoenix Wing 9-60GF
BX-23
Weight: 37.9g (LOW END) - 38.45g (HIGH END)
Design: Three-sided blade jagged design with, aggressive contact points.
Uses a variety of attack potential: Capable of both upper attack (launching Beyblades into the air) and smash attack (sending Beyblades into pockets).
Attack VS Attack performance: Due to quite literally being the heaviest blade next to CobaltDrake it dominates a lot of attack matches due to sheer weight, it will generally overcome any of its faults because of this.
Attack VS Defense/Stamina: While PhoenixWng is not invincible it is incredibly strong, the blade is able to easily smack around stamina and defense.
Stamina VS Stamina: PhoenixWing due to sheer weight can be used as top tier stamina since it uses weight to bully other stamina types. While it technically does not have crazy stamina the weight in its hits for impact compensate for that.
Defense VS Attack: PhoenixWing due to weight can be easily used on defense combinations and tank a lot of big hits due to weight and its general shape.
Strengths:
Weight: One of the heaviest blades in Beyblade X that can have an advantage in Battle.
Hard Smash Attack: PhoenixWing will quite literally beat you up so hard just because the weight works well with the shape.
Weaknesses:
Top Heavy: Due to the shape and design Phoenix will eventually topple down as it gets closer to the end of battle due to weight distribution at the top.
Gap: In order to balance a powerful release like this, Takara Tomy had to give it a gap to make it somewhat balanced, this makes it more easily supcetipble to bursting. It is preferred to use PhoenixWIng on 9-60 or 5-60 setups.
Overall: Phoenix Wing is a must-have as it is the easiest attacker to use, while still having great stamina and defense.
Gameplan: On setups with low height on any normal meta setup PhoenixWing can be effectively used.
Combos:
Attack: PhoenixWing 9-60/5-60 Rush/Flat
Balance: PhoenixWing 9-60/5-60 Taper/Point
Stamina: PhoenixWing 9-60/5-60 Ball/Orb
Defense: PhoenixWing 9-60/5-60 Needle/HighNeedle
Weight: 6.2g
Design: 9-60 is a ratchet that has 9 sides and a low height, the contact areas for the ratchet are 9 filled out points.
Stamina: It is as good as 5-60 and good compared to other other ratchets.
Burst Resistance: It has the best resistance as it is incredibly hard to hit being small and rounded off.
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.
Weight: 2.3g
Design: Gear Flat is a variant of the regular Flat Bit with a jagged gear shape and an indent. It features an 80 rating for Burst resistance.
Strengths:
Maximum Attack Potential: Gear Flat is currently the fastest bit in Beyblade X as of January 2023, offering the highest attack potential.
Xtreme Dash: Designed for Xtreme Line launches, Gear Flat excels in KOing or Xtreme Finishing opponents.
Burst Resistance: With an 80 rating for Burst resistance, Gear Flat provides minimal Burst risk.
Weaknesses:
Low Stamina: Due to its high speed, Gear Flat depletes stamina rapidly. Be cautious with your launch strength.
Vulnerability to Self-KO: Similar to other flat bits, Gear Flat can self-KO with a hard launch or improper angle, although it may occasionally result in an Xtreme Finish against the opponent.
Gameplan:
Flat launch or a somewhat tilted angle shoot:Use a flat launch or a slightly tilted angle to leverage the stadium’s gimmicks and aim for knockouts.
Overall: While Gear Flat offers exceptional attack potential, its high risk and susceptibility to RNG make it a risky choice. It’s a valuable addition to any blader's collection, but its performance is highly dependent on precise technique and launch control.
Overall
Phoenix Wing is a must-have due to it being the easiest attacker and its ease of other types that can be used in Beyblade X. The release comes with a string launcher, a decent attack bit and an amazing ratchet there is nothing about this release that makes it a negative for purchasing overall.
