Community testing, Jul. 09, 2012 — summarised

The competitive view

Phoenic's feathered, claw-like wings deliver strong smash on their own but are too light at 35.1 grams paired with Thief to compete with heavier attack wheels like Flash or Blitz; synchromed with a second Phoenic, it becomes the strongest attack option in the Zero-G line at close to 60 grams combined, though those smaller contact points wear quickly. Thief is rated an inferior partner for any chrome wheel due to its own light weight. E230's elevator disk is credited as a top-tier defense track thanks to its height and its ability to deflect low- and mid-height attacks. GCF's wide, gear-edged disk is rated for cutting down how often a beyblade exits through a stadium pocket while creating strong floor scrape in Zero-G stadiums, and is considered important for the sway-attack technique.
