Blade: Rhino Horn

Weight: 31.9 (LOW END) - 32.2g (HIGH END)

Design: RhinoHorn is a blade that features 4 focused points with a rough jagged shape.

• Attack VS Attack: Rhino is a game of who wants to defeat who first in the first few seconds, since Rhino has no endgame stamina it is highly encouraged that RhinoHorn win fast or it will lose via being out spun or a spin finish. It is possible to also use Rhinos recoil to your advantage with combos like 5-60Point that allow the recoil to tank somewhat specific attackers on any Flat bottom generally.

• Stamina VS Attack: Rhino has no real stamina properties to be used here. 

• Defence VS Attack: Since RhinoHorn suffers from recoil release it is not suited for defense combos because the recoil can harm Rhino causing it to self destruct in battle.

Strengths: 

• Hard hits: RhinoHorn is one of the best hard hitting attackers due to its square shape that allows for big hits.

Weaknesses:

• Poor Stamina: RhinoHorn is an angry attacker that has not that much steam on it, if you can't get your hits in you are really in trouble.

• Gap: Rhino like any Beyblade with a gap is more susceptible to a Burst, it is highly recommended to ONLY use Rhino on 60 or lower heights. 

• Recoil Release: Like other certain blades due to the fact it has heavy recoil the blade can cause the ratchet to release the bit causing yourself to lose to a burst.

Overall: This blade can hit very hard but can also lose stamina very fast in battle.

Gameplan: On setups with low height on bits like Low Flat or Rush that allow Rhino to either get control or fast speed to get those hard hits in.

Combos:

Attack: RhinoHorn 9-60/5-60/3-60 Rush/LowFlat

Ratchet: 3-80

Weight: 7.1g

• Design: 3-80 is a ratchet that has 3 sides and a tall height, the contact areas for the ratchet are 3 wide points.

• No real difference in consistent stamina: You would need to balance tune to see if it matters or not compared to other sides like 5 sides or 9 sides, this is up to Blader since it is a case-by-case basis.   

Strengths: 

• Three sides with wider hit points: The Ratchet has wider contact points compared to a four-sided design. Although it is wider and should be easier to hit, in reality, three sides make less contact to cause a burst since they are more rounded off. 

Weakness:

• Tall Height: It is important to note that being tall in the case of 3-80 does not mean pure weakness however it means to be careful how you launch. While 3-80's generally are tighter than 3-60's or even 4-60's/80's keep mindful of how you shoot with this. 

Bit: Spike

Weight:

• Design: Spike is a Beyblade X bit that features low burst resistance and a tiny sharp cone shape on the bottom of the bit. 

Strengths:

• NONE

Weaknesses:

• KO Resistance: Spike does not have any good KO resistance it can get tapped and easily get flung out in battle it is the worse out of any needle released right now.

• Stamina Risk: Since this is a defense bit the focus is pure defense rather than stamina, so it is possible if you somehow screw up the launch to get bullied and outspun by attackers or go up against a stamina combo and be outspun. 

• Burst Risk: Due to being a bit with 20 in burst resistance there is a potential risk to use as it has lower resistance than Balance and Attack bits. This is not the end all be all just something to consider. 

Gameplan:

• Somewhat tilted angle shoot and hold: To maximize the effectiveness of this Bit, you can employ a slight angle and hold the Beyblade on to the corner of where you are to lead into the middle to get those big hits without being knocked out. 

Overall: Spike is the worst Bit they have ever done for defense, it is so bad that there is quite literally nothing that can seriously be recommended, this tip is not to be used at all, leave it in the bin. While one could argue that there are combos that could work to its nature it feels like a waste, if you really did want to use this bit, you would have to use it on setups that you would use Needle on.
