In Play
Despite its shape, 8 is the lightest Armor with poor weight distribution similar to 6, so while usable it is heavily outclassed in Stamina and weight by Armors such as 0, 2, and 10; it is a welcome but not essential Armor for the WBO's Burst format and is not legal in Burst GT, Burst Limited, or Burst Classic.
- Debuted in Japan on November 12th, 2022 with the B-205 Burst Ultimate VS Set.
The Competitive View
Its high Outward Weight Distribution boosts Stamina via the Flywheel Effect while its heavy overall weight aids Knock-Out resistance and Attack, at the cost of reduced Burst resistance compared to lighter Disks.
Verdict as the draft gives it: 8 is considered a highly versatile Disk that every blader should own, with its poor Burst resistance offset by pairing it with heavy Evolution/God Layers or Metal God Chips, or Frames like Glaive for Life-After-Death.
