Dot

A variant of Needle that maintains the same conical shape, angle, and height, but whose surface is covered by multiple small dots distributed along the tip.

These dots seek to increase friction with the ground to improve traction and make it difficult for the Bey to be displaced, granting it better defense from all angles than Needle.

When it is new, the central dot offers slightly superior stamina and a more pronounced tilt, which can make it a bit more unstable. However, as it wears down, the outer dots begin to make contact more uniformly, stabilizing its behavior.

The increase in friction also implies greater energy consumption, which aggravates one of Needle's main problems: stamina loss. Furthermore, the irregular wear of the dots can alter performance over time, since the plastic residue modifies the surface shape and can be counterproductive.

Outside of those differences, its general function is the same as Needle's: ideal for shield defense with the correct tilt, capable of resisting frontal impacts and breaking attack chains, although it still loses energy easily when doing so, and when tilting it is vulnerable if hit from the sides or the back.
