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.
Bit: Gear Flat
Weight: 2.3g
Design: GearFlat is a variant of regular Flat that has a jaggy gear shape to it and features an indent on there. GearFlat features a stat of 80 for high Burst resistance.
Strengths:
Maximum pure attack bit for Beyblade X: GearFlat is a bit that has maximum attack potential as it is currently as of Jan 2023 the fastest bit right now.
Xtreme Dash: Like any gear variant right now, GearFlat is focused on doing the Xtreme Line to be able to KO and or Xtreme Finish their opponent.
Burst Resistance: Due to being a Bit with a 80 Stats in Burst resistance this makes this bit great to use due to minimal Burst risk.
Weaknesses:
Low stamina: A bit this fast will deplete stamina extremely fast be very weary of how strong you shoot.
Vulnerability to self-KO: As mentioned on other flat bits, if you hard launch you can easily self KO or if you don't angle right can force yourself to self Xtreme out. Alternatively you could get lucky and Xtreme your opponent out of there but the likely hood of that is not that good.
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.
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.
