00KnightShield summary

Helm Knight (KnightShield by Takara Tomy) is a 32.3 g BX Blade, released in Japan on July 15, 2023.

KnightShield is a frontline knight that defends with pride. It may not beat the big stamina tanks, but its shield knows how to stand firm if its king trusts it. A noble warrior that never lowers its head, even when the current meta makes it struggle.

01Mythology

It represents a medieval knight with their classic battle shield. In the Middle Ages, knights were guardians of the kingdom, defenders of the weak, and bearers of justice.

02Description

Its round shape resembles a classic shield. On the lower section, you can notice a counterweight that makes it unstable and gives it limited stamina. However, the ridges around the perimeter—like a tire—create constant friction with the opponent, allowing it to wear down their spin and take advantage of its erratic contact.

It has six segments: three hollow sections that rise and three solid ones that drop, creating strong curves on the top and bottom. These curves can destabilize the opponent on tilted launches, amplified by its own instability. Also, since it lacks aggressive protrusions, recoil is low and it preserves spin fairly well.

Its side profile exposes part of the Ratchet contact points, adding extra support when it gets hit from below.

03Performance

It stands out for its ability to defend while draining the opponent, either by destabilizing them or slowly shaving off spin through friction. It benefits from “wobbling” to boost its erratic effect, and constant contact also helps increase wear. Low heights favor pure defense, while mid heights maximize spin drain.

Its low weight makes it easy to knock out, and its limited stamina puts it at a disadvantage against stationary Beys. Even though it can slow them down, it rarely survives long enough to finish the job. Balance it as best as possible to improve stamina and give it more chances to push opponents to the limit—it won’t be easy, but it won’t go down without a fight.

04Ways to use it

Shield Defense

With exaggerated tilt, it can surprise aggressive Beys, defending and sending them flying. Use sharp tips to maximize defense against super aggressive Beys, or round ones for better stamina.

Barrage Attack

With semi-aggressive tips, keep constant pressure on the opponent to maximize wear. Mid heights work best to take full advantage of the Blade.

Evasive Defense

Its small size makes it slippery against very aggressive rivals. It risks all its stamina, but if it manages to evade them, it can outspin them.

Equalization Counter

On Elevate, it can beat left-spin Beys thanks to its roundness, light weight, and erratic movement that avoids equalization.

05Base combo

KnightShield 3-80N

Way too tall for defense. It becomes more unstable, loses stamina, and its burst effect disappears, leaving it stuck in place and vulnerable.

06Combos

1
KnightShield 9-60HN

Ideal against aggressive opponents; its upper shape deflects hits.

2
KnightShield 7-60B

Stable and versatile, allowing you to switch between shield defense and burst attack.

3
KnightShield 6-60T

Chases the opponent to wear them down; the Ratchet adds surprise contact points.
