Community testing, 2009-09-05 — summarised

The competitive view

Libra DF145BS's Libra metal wheel has its true weight established, and it carries a competitive ban; a full descriptive account of the part does not survive in this record.

Performance beyond the ban is not detailed here; Libra's dominance of the Metal Fight Beyblade metagame and the reasoning behind its ban are documented elsewhere.

Verdict as the draft gives it: Libra was significant enough in competitive play to be banned from the format, reflecting its dominance of the Metal Fight Beyblade metagame at the time.

  • Libra Metal Wheel: listed as 43g per a retailer's site, though hand-weighed early-mold copies (Anubis) came in at 41-42g

Condensed from community testing; competitive opinions are the community's, not ours, and may be out of date.
