About This Part
High Needle, abbreviated HN, is a Bit Takara Tomy released under the Basic Line system, first appearing in Japan on August 10th, 2023 with the BX-13 Booster, KnightLance 4-80HN. Hasbro carried it west through the Knife Shinobi and Keel Shark Dual Pack. Its cone-shaped, sharp tip generates high Stamina and tends to settle a combo near the centre of the Stadium, while the same sharp point helps a combo rebound off hits and resist knockouts. It stands about a millimetre taller than the standard Needle Bit, and its surrounding ring carries a textured surface marking it as a High-type piece.
In Play
The community rates High Needle highly for Knock-Out resistance, making it a common pick in Defense-oriented builds that need to shrug off heavy attacks.
