About This Part
Hunter is an Armor Tip Hasbro produced for the Burst System's QuadDrive line, built as a solid-plastic stand-in for the Hunter Driver; it debuted in the Wrath Fafnir F7 and Berserk Linwyrm L7 Dual Pack. Clipped onto a QuadDrive Driver, it takes over as the stadium contact point in what the maker calls "Plus Mode", raising the combo to roughly the height of a SpeedStorm Driver.
In Play
- Debuted in western countries in the Wrath Fafnir F7 and Berserk Linwyrm L7 Dual Pack.
- F3317 Collision Nebula Battle Set included Berserk Muramasa M7 Ciquex-Q Edge-Q+Hunter-2.
- F3964 Wrath Fafnir F7 and Berserk Linwyrm L7 Dual Pack included Berserk Linwyrm L7 Fq-Q Fusion-Q+Hunter-2'.
- F3965 Berserk Balderov B7 and Cyclone Belfyre B7 Dual Pack included Cyclone Belfyre B7 Aquilon-Q Revolve-Q+Hunter-3.
- F4076 release: Ultimate Evo Valtryek V7 Karma-Q Revolve-Q+Hunter-6'.
- Unlike most Armor Tips, Hunter only loosely resembles the driver it is based on, and being a solid piece it carries none of the Hunter Driver's rubber.
The Competitive View
Hunter's high friction gives it strong, controllable attacks but drains stamina quickly, raises self-burst risk by transferring more force into a layer's teeth or slopes, and wears down over use without gaining stamina in return; unproven reports suggest a heavily worn Hunter may shift toward defensive behavior as it rounds off.
Verdict as the draft gives it: Not a must-have since Xtreme offers more speed and Accel offers more stamina at similar control, but a welcome addition worth owning in multiples if preferred, to replace worn copies.
