It is a Bit fused with a Ratchet, featuring a 14-tooth gear. Its main feature is a lower layer that can lift and rotate 90° to switch between two modes: Defense Mode and Attack Mode.

• > In Defense Mode: It has a height of 80, with four small wings protruding around its perimeter for more even weight distribution. A small rounded POM plastic tip sticks out, softer than usual to reduce friction and maximize stamina. It is slightly smaller than Orb, giving it very similar movement and tilt ability.

• > In Attack Mode: It has a height of 85 and becomes oval-shaped, creating a lateral slope as the four wings align perfectly. The tip becomes completely flat and hollow, the size of a Rush, with four small stoppers meant to help it recover posture when tilting.

Its assembly is “Simple” type, similar to “O” type, relying only on pressure from the Blade, making it much more prone to bursting than normal.

In Defense Mode, it tends to stay centered with gentle circular movement and tilt ability similar to Orb, but its stamina is noticeably lower due to instability and poor aerodynamics. It is also super easy to push out because the tip is small and soft, and with such a high center of gravity, it becomes an easy target for knockouts. Because of this, it benefits from starting tilted to reduce the risk.

In Attack Mode, it becomes fully aggressive and chaotic. The lower stoppers can bounce off the ground, breaking center-focused attack patterns, and the large gear gives savage bursts of speed on the rail. It is not easy to control, although its stamina is not terrible, since the circumference is so thin that ground friction is minimal, which also reduces its impact power compared to Rush.

On the other hand, its slope in Attack Mode, while smooth, can directly hit the opponent due to its oval shape, lifting them into the Blade metal or smashing them if it spins left. The downside is that direct contact carries a huge risk of bursting.

Overall, it is hard to use reliably due to its vulnerability to bursting, how easily it gets knocked out, and its instability. However, its lower section is the smoothest so far among Ratchets, giving it impressive Life After Death. It can slide in the final spins, which is interesting for left-spin Blades, as it can help secure last-spin wins. The drawback is that, compared to Turbo which stays fully upright, this one tilts way too much, sometimes preventing proper energy transfer and relying more on luck for its slide to outlast the opponent’s hard stop. You can experiment with both to find what best fits your playstyle!
