Grand KetosT125/WD145RS
Number:BB-82
System:Hybrid Wheel System
Type: Defense
Note:Grand Ketos T125/WD145RS were originally obtained through Random Booster Vol. 5 Grand Ketos, where they are the "prize" Beyblade. Sonokong released a starter of these Beyblades, which includes Light Launcher 2.
Face: Ketos
The Face on this Beyblade depicts Cetus, one of the 88 constellations in space. This one represents a Whale.
Clear Wheel: Ketos
Weight:??? (Help me with this, I could not find it anywhere)
This Clear Wheel is perfectly symmetrical. It shows two waves on each side, going in opposite directions, with whale tails shown at the sides.
Note: There are two versions of this clear wheel. A dark blue version, and a light blue version. The color does not affect performance in anyway. It is just a cosmetic change.
Metal Wheel: Grand
Weight:29.3 grams
Grand is an interesting Wheel. It is thicker than even Earth at the thickest point on it's four wings. It is not defensively good as Earth though, as it is 3.5 grams lighter then the second mold of Earth. On the Grand wheel there are three sections that have four "cuts" on each. These cuts do provide some small smash attack early on, But it is not consistent. There is no reason to use this Wheel for Smash Attack with the numerous amounts of other viable options out there.
USE IN DEFENSE CUSTOMIZATION:
Grand can be put to use in the exceptional defense customization:Grand AquarioGB145RS
USE IN ATTACK CUSTOMIZATION:
Grand can be utilized in the decent attack customization: Grand KetosCH120R2F
Note: There are two versions of this Beyblade. One comes with the T125 Track and a light blue Clear Wheel, while the other version comes with the WD145 Track and a dark blue Clear Wheel
Track: T125
Weight: 1.7 grams
T125 has four upward-facing wing protrusions spaced apart widely. The Track is designed to work in a similar way to DF145, although the effect it produces is negligible. The performance of this Track is similar to D125, and as a height, is generally overshadowed by CH120. T125 has found uses in Attack and Survival customizations, due to it being mid-range height.
Use in Attack Customization
T125 is a great alternative to the 145 track in the combo MF Pegasis T125R2F. T125 is also used in the Gravity Perseus combo, MF Gravity Perseus T125 R2F They are both excellent Smash Attack customizations.
Track:WD145
Weight:3.6 grams
WD145 features three “wingsâ€. The wings are similar to that of ED145, with the only difference being that it cannot spin freely. The defensive capabilities of this part are not as effective as C145, as it does not absorb hits as successfully. Furthermore, it is easy for the low attacker’s Wheel to be caught between the Wheel and WD145, hence causing a lot of recoil and spin reduction.
Bottom: Rubber Sharp
Weight:???
The Rubber Sharp bottom is a blessing to the Sharp series .The use of rubber and the friction it creates with the stadium floor does lower its Stamina, but RS is mainly used to counteract Attack customizations. So it's high friction makes it difficult for the attack customization to knock it out, and RS is able to outlast it. Bottoms like CS and RSF could be used in substitution of RS though, but less preferred.
Overall:
The Grand wheel is decent, but is outclassed by Earth and Vulcan in Defense and Attack respectively. T125 is a decent part, and would be preferred over the WD145 version. But the main reason for buying this Beyblade would be RS. It is argueably the best defense bottom, with CS and RSF being other top tier defense bottoms.
Every Beyblader should own at least one of this beyblade
So, any critics out there? This was my first article draft, working on getting that Lapiz face.
But first I wanna give some credit where its due
T125 from Flame Libra Article
Some quotes were made from Kei in the "Grand Discussion" Thread, and the customizations from there too. So thanks Kei, also weight for the Grand wheel is from Kei.
WD145 part was based on the ED145 part of the Clay Aries Article. Changed it up a bit.
