System: Metal Fight Beyblade
Type: Defense
Face: Escolpio
Weight: 1.1 grams
The Face on this Beyblade depicts Scorpio, the eighth astrological sign in the Zodiac.
Wheel: Escolpio
Weight: 31 grams
Escolpio's design consists of two sets multiple red-colored rectangles that end in a point to give the shape of a Scorpion's head, while also obtaining multiple red-colored squares in the center.
Escolpio is a completely circular wheel. Given the circular nature Escolpio does have, it may seem suited for defense and stamina, as most defensive and stamina wheels require a rounded shape, along with the fact the Escolpio has no contact points. However, Escolpio is not a very good choice for defense or stamina despite its required shape. This is so because of its hollowness and light weight. Weighing 31 grams, Escolpio is among the lightest wheels ever created. The light weight takes away its defensive ability, as it will get pushed around more easily than most other wheels. For stamina, it is very hollow, and its weight is not focused towards the outside the wheel, thus not increasing momentum and spin velocity. For Attack, there are no slopes, protrusions, spikes, or notches on Escolpio to supply any kind of attack.
Being useless in all areas of the meta-game since the day it was released, Escolpio is one of the worst wheels ever created.
Track: Wide Defense 145
Weight: 3.6 grams
WD145 features three “wingsâ€, hence its name. Being a predecessor to ED145, it of course, has a difference, with that difference being that its wings cannot spin freely. The defensive capabilities of this part are outclassed in all areas by other Defensive Tracks, such as C145, GB145, and 230, 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, causing a lot of recoil and spin reduction in the process. WD145 has not found use in Stamina, and its attack use is not a recommendable option.
Use in Attack Customization
MF Pegasis WD145RF can be used as a passable alternate to MF Pegasis 145RF, though it does not perform too great as to why it is not a very usable combo.
Bottom: Ball
Weight: 0.6 grams
Ball, as its name suggests, is shaped like a ball. This gives it little attack potential, and the hemispherical shape provides a decent area for the Bottom to make contact with the Stadium floor; hence increasing friction and making it more difficult to knockout. B’s shape also makes it likely to stay in the central areas of the Stadium, hence maximizing the customization’s distance from the Stadium exits. B was also chosen over D for stamina, as it didn't have the balance problems D had. Due to its qualities, this bottom makes a decent choice for Defense and Stamina Customizations. The reason why it is only decent however is because of is lower friction to the stadium floor compared to WB, thus making it easier to knockout than WB, and its stamina is not good as other bottoms such as SD and WD. Because of this, B should only be used if WB is not available. However, both have been outclassed by CS, RSF, and RS.
Overall
Escolpio WD145B consists of outclassed parts that don't serve any use in competitive play anymore, or that ever did serve use competitively. This beyblade should only be bought for collection purposes.
