Walk Like An Egyptian
Embedded Files
Weight: 32.6g (LOW END) - 33.1g (HIGH END)
Design: Sphinx Cowl is a 9-sided blade with a jagged shape, designed to deflect opponents from any angle.
Gimmick Barrage Defense: The blade’s design focuses on deflecting attacks from various angles.
Attack vs. Attack (AVA): Sphinx Cowl can be explosive in AVA matchups, but it lacks stamina. It performs decently against other attackers, but its effectiveness is limited by its stamina.
Attack vs. Defense/Stamina: When used with a 70-height setup, Sphinx Cowl can be an effective aggressive attacker, capable of KOing or depleting the stamina of opponents.
Stamina/Defense: On stamina or defense combinations, Sphinx Cowl is subpar. Its lack of stamina often results in losing points via being out-spun or a spin finish.
Strengths:
Strong Impact: The unique jagged shape of Sphinx Cowl can deliver powerful blows, repelling opponents effectively.
Weaknesses:
Gap: Like any blade with a gap, Sphinx Cowl is more vulnerable to Burst. It’s recommended to be cautious with your launch and use it at a 70-height setup.
Gameplan: Sphinx Cowl with low-height setups paired with aggressive bits that have stamina, such as High Taper on a 60-height ratchet.
Combos:
Attack: Sphinx Cowl 3-60/9-60 HT
Overall
Sphinx Cowl is a welcome addition to any collection. While it’s not a top-tier blade, it has potential with the right 70-height setups and aggressive bits. However, it requires further support from additional 70-height releases and bits to become more relevant in competitive play.
