PteraSwing

It is based on a pteranodon, one of the most iconic flying reptiles of the Cretaceous period. Contrary to what many believe, it was not a dinosaur strictly speaking, but a pterosaur. Its huge cranial crest probably helped it stabilize in flight, making it a super efficient aerial predator.

It is a re-mold of ViperTail, so it shares practically the same structural base with three subtle differences:

• > The three short divisions no longer protrude at the top; they now appear to integrate more continuously with the main division.

• > The design incorporates the profile of the pteranodon and the shape of its wings.

• > The front of its wings has a more smoothed-out slope.

In terms of overall silhouette, it maintains the characteristic concave shape of the original mold, but now features fewer contact points exposed on the top part, while keeping the most important ones.

The changes are so slight and the weight so similar that, in practice, both perform almost the same. The most noticeable difference is in the aggressive potential:

ViperTail can wear down rivals slightly more thanks to its greater top irregularities, although that also generates a bit more recoil. TalonPtera, by having less exposure on top, withstands impacts better in stationary combos, though the difference is minimal.

The main edges are kept in Ptera, so it retains the Barrage Attack style with repeated hits that seek to wear down and destabilize the rival over the long term. And although they have some potential to reflect attacks, currently with much heavier Beys, neither of the two manages to stand out in this area anymore as they are easily crushed.
