About This Part
Eternal Wide Defense, abbreviated EWD, is a Performance Tip both Takara Tomy and Hasbro released, debuting in Japan on December 28, 2010 inside the BB-100 Starter Random Booster Vol. 6 Killer Beafowl and reaching western countries in November 2011 with the Evil Befall UW145EWD Starter Pack. It takes the wide shape of Wide Defense and swaps its fixed point for a free-spinning sharp piece riding on a single bearing, aiming to combine Wide Defense's stability with extra spin retention.
In Play
Wear and bearing friction blunt its Stamina over time, and the community generally prefers plain Wide Defense for its wider release and fewer drawbacks, though Eternal Wide Defense earns a niche in Spin Stealing combinations where its extra rotations can decide the final seconds of a match, and it found further use once the Zero-G metagame arrived.
- Debuted in Japan on December 28, 2010 with the BB-100 Starter Random Booster Vol. 6 Killer Beafowl.
- Reached western countries in November 2011 with the Evil Befall UW145EWD Starter Pack.
- Hasbro's production runs of Eternal Wide Defense have been observed to wear down and round off faster than the Takara Tomy and Sonokong versions.
