Community testing, Jul. 16, 2018 — summarised

The competitive view

Geist Fafnir is a Stamina Type, Left Spin Energy Layer with a triangular perimeter, three dragon heads marked 'F', and metal interspersed between the heads. Like predecessor Drain Fafnir, its 'F' marks are rubber, aiding spin-equalization against right-spin opponents.

Against right-spin opponents the rubber teeth act as a friction hook, equalizing spin and propelling Geist Fafnir faster while cutting recoil (more pronounced than on Drain Fafnir, though weaker against very light opponents); against left-spin opponents the rubber instead brakes, which can burst a weaker opponent but risks self-burst or heavy stamina loss against a tougher one.

Verdict as the draft gives it: Suited to spin-equalization/stamina combos such as Geist Fafnir 0/2/4/5/7/10 Cross/Glaive Atomic/Bearing/Destroy, though the author notes final performance hinges on tooth strength.

  • Left Spin
  • Triangular perimeter with metal between the dragon heads
  • Rubber 'F' motifs, with a larger exposed rubber area than predecessor Drain Fafnir
