Description

Ramda carries Desert Sphinxer as his Engine Gear System build, sold through the CoroCoro Comic Limited Booster. Its Ark Pyramid Attack Ring uses a free-rotating double structure with three sphinx heads that strike outward, sitting above the wide, momentum-focused Ten Wide Weight Disk. A Right Engine Gear nicknamed Mystery Cutter drives triangular spikes at an opponent's tip through a semi-flat, gimmick-clipping Final Clutch Base, described as the most compact of the spring-loaded Engine Gear bases.

Parts in detail

Produced as a Coro-Coro magazine exclusive: it was the winning entry from Coro-Coro's third 'Design a Beyblade' fan competition, turned into a limited retail release.

SlotPartWeightSpinNote
Attack Ring Ark Pyramid (Core AR) 4.0 (5.2 total with Sub AR) g Both (Right Spin has Smash Attack, Left minimal) A three-pointed Attack Ring with workable Right-Spin contact points offering modest, controlled Smash Attack, but next to nothing to work with in Left Spin, and too much recoil in either direction for Defense or Stamina.
Sub Attack Ring Ark Pyramid SAR 1.2 g Its triangular protrusions add too much recoil for most Core Attack Rings to want it, and it can still scrape the stadium floor even in its best pairing.
Weight Disk Ten Wide 14.0 (Takara/Hasbro) / 14.3 (SonoKong G-Blade) g A moderately light Weight Disk with an outward mass bias, though less extreme than Wide Defense or Wide Survivor, which costs it some spin-stealing and survival performance.
Spin Gear Right Engine Gear (Mystery Cutter) 6.9 g Right A standard Right Engine Gear compatible with three tips — Circle Defenser, Circle Survivor, and Mystery Cutter — of which only Circle Survivor is genuinely useful; the other two mainly add recoil.
Blade Base Final Clutch Base (Desert Sphinxer Version) 7.4 g A very compact Final Clutch Base — as narrow as Normal Base (Wolborg 4 Version) but noticeably deeper — whose delayed-activation gimmick can occasionally push an attack late in a match, though by then the Beyblade usually lacks the rotational energy to make it count, and tall setups can't pair it with Attack Rings like Square Edge that might help. Its upper ring is fully circular, and while its small triangular details do add some recoil, that's mostly shielded once Circle Survivor is mounted on top, and it beats most other Final Clutch Bases regardless.
Other CEW: Mystery Cutter 2.9 (+0.23 clips) g A semi-flat tip ringed with outward and downward protrusions; the tip itself moves in an easily controlled, semi-aggressive pattern, but the downward protrusions scrape the floor once the Beyblade starts to tip over, hurting LAD, and the part's height only makes stability worse against other Beyblades.

Weights are single copies weighed on their own; a part can vary by a few tenths of a gram.
