Blade: Shinobi Shadow

Weight: 27.9g (LOW END) - 28.2g (HIGH END)

• Design: Shinobi Shadow is a 3-sided blade smoothed out at its contact points.

• Parry Defense: Shinobi Shadow is designed to have a smooth shape to parry off attackers. The issue in this Blade lies in the shape being decent, but the Blade being so incredibly light negates any potential use.

• Attack VS Attack: Shinobi is far too light to be consistent in any attack vs. attack (AVA) matchup; it will simply lose by being deflected and knocked out. 

• Attack VS Defense/Stamina: Shinobi Shadow is far too light to win any attack combination consistently. 

• Stamina / Defense: While Shinobi will not win in a stamina vs stamina battle, in defence use, if paired with Disc Ball on a low height ratchet like 60, it is possible to win and potentially out-spin attackers; the same in regards if paired with Hexa. The properties it has to fly around could be utilized in the best case for trying to give this a victory. However, even at that point, you would just use any other Blade for that purpose since a competent attacker user should not struggle against that Blade.

Strengths:

• Shape: Shinobi Shadow has a good shape in its design, which is what makes it its biggest strength.

Weaknesses:

• Weight: Shinobi is exceptionally light, which only works to ruin anything positive for the Blade.

Overall: Due to its lightweight, Shinobi Shadow's potential is ruined by its being highly outclassed by the majority of Beyblade X, making it a very disappointing release. 

Gameplan: On setups with low height on any aggressive bit that can get speed, like Point/Rush, you must hard launch and aim to defeat your opponent via KO or outspin. On other setups, you want to tilt shoot with defense and stamina setups hard to outlast your opponents. 

Combos: 

Stamina(To be used against attack): Shinobi Shadow 9-60DB 

Defense: Shinobi Shadow 3-70/5-70H 

Attack: Shinobi Shadow 1-60P

Ratchet: 9-60

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 compared to other ratchets.

• Burst Resistance: It has the best resistance because it is incredibly hard to hit because it is small and rounded off.

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

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.
