Metal Needle

A metallic variant of Needle; it preserves the same shape but with a different material.

It maintains the same qualities and disadvantages of Needle:

• > In an upright position: Leaves you vulnerable in the center and is easy to push, but after the hit, it can break the rival's attack chain by being difficult to reach.

• > In a tilted position: Uses the Blade as a shield and the edge digs into the ground to cushion impacts, but leaves you vulnerable on the sides and back.

The difference is that the Metal, having less friction, will give it better spin time, but will make it much easier to slide, even if they hit the Blade directly.

On the other hand, it powers up instability on unbalanced Beys, encouraging erratic movement. Which can be interesting on Heavy Combos that take advantage of those slight bounces to smash subtly and unpredictably.

It should be noted that at the beginning it is incredibly sharp, which can damage the stadium if launched from a great height. It is recommended to launch at a standard distance, max about 10cm above the cover.

With use, the tip flattens slightly, adopting a behavior more similar to a metallic mini-flat, capable of initial aggressive attacks; it will no longer damage the stadium, and will only sacrifice some spin time. Making it an interesting candidate for Evasive Defense.
