Weight: 34.6g (LOW END) - 34.9G (HIGH END)
Design: Three-sided blade design with sharp trianglular aggressive contact points.
Attack VS Attack performance: In an attack vs. attack (AVA) matchup, Viper Tail can destablize opponents outspinning them and beating them.
Attack VS Defense/Stamina: ViperTail is a very hard hitting attacker that does great smash attack.
ViperTail on Defense/Stamina: While it may be possible in taller heights to destablize its opponents, the issue is the beyblade suffers from Recoil Release and can be very bursty on any defense or stamina setups.
Strengths:
Destabilizing Hits: The low hanging metal blades can sometimes cause it to destablize and harm the opponent it is battling against.
Strong Smash Attack: ViperTail has strong smacking properties that all it to sometimes oblierate its opponent.
Weaknesses:
Top Heavy: Due to the design of it because of the gap, it can sometimes fall and lose stamina causing yourself to lose via being outspun or a Spin Finish.
Gap: Like any Beyblade with a gap, ViperTail suffers from this issue, which makes it susceptible to being abused by other Blades and causing it to burst.
Recoil Release: Like other certain blades, due to its heavy recoil, the blade can cause the ratchet to release the bit, causing you to lose to a burst.
Overall: Due to the recoil design, it is best to use only attack combos.
Gameplan: Use this blade on any low-height attack setup using the below combos.
Combos:
Attack: ViperTail 5-60/3-60 Flat/Low Flat/Taper/Rush/Point
Weight: 6.6g
Design: 5-60 is a ratchet that has 5 sides and a low height, the contact areas for the ratchet are 5 somewhat wide points.
Strengths:
Stamina: Generally due to the shape and its OWD (outwards weight distribution) it can have greater stamina than other ratchets giving Beyblades more balance.
Defense: Due to being 5 sided and thick, this ratchet has some of the best defense out of all the ratchets and only really is worse than 9 sides due to how 9 sides is exposed.
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: As Flat is well...flat its simple design works well for X for attack. Flat is a bit bottom that has a flat bottom with an indent on there, and features a stat of 80 for high Burst resistance.
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: 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: 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.
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 important when using this Bit.
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.
Generally with Flat: You can do either flat shoot or tilt on case by case basis depending if you want to try to focus on the Xtreme Line to try and KO or try to destabilize and harm the opponent.
Overall
This combo is excellent from the Random Booster since you get all solid parts, ViperTail that is good for the attack, 5-60 good for stamina, defence and burst resistance, and the bit flat is also solid; you could run this stock combo and do well for an event. This is a welcome addition to anyone's collection.
