About This Part
Cross is a Frame Takara Tomy issued for the Burst System, the God Layer System and the SwitchStrike System. It debuted in Japan on March 18, 2017 with the booster Blaze Ragnaruk 4Cross Flugel, then reached western shelves through Hasbro's SwitchStrike Starter Pack carrying Berserk Roktavor R3 4Cross Flugel. The piece is diamond-shaped with corner protrusions angled upward, similar to Force, so they never scrape the stadium floor; its rounded overall outline gives Cross the highest Life-After-Death of any Frame.
In Play
The community treats Cross as collection-only in the Standard and Classic formats, since the Core Discs it fits are outpaced by newer DB Discs, but rates it a must-have in Burst Limited for the Knock-Out Resistance and versatility it adds when paired with heavier Core Discs.
- Debuted in Japan on March 18, 2017 with the booster Blaze Ragnaruk 4Cross Flugel.
- Reached western countries through Hasbro's SwitchStrike Starter Pack Berserk Roktavor R3 4Cross Flugel.
The Competitive View
Cross's corner protrusions are too small to reach the opponent's Layer directly, so it mainly contributes weight and life-after-death rather than attack; it is used in defense/stamina builds such as Alter Chronos/Maximum Garuda 2/4/5/7 Cross Atomic/Orbit to add outspin chances.
Verdict as the draft gives it: Slightly outclassed by Glaive but still comparable, and preferred over lighter discs like Polish or Yell when a heavier Core Disc pairing is wanted; a welcome collection piece.
