"Build me a combo!" #2

View All Faces · May. 29, 2012 11:03 AM

The metagame is no longer as Basalt-heavy as it was. There are still some, but Duo, Death, and Diablo have taken over Defense/Anti-Attack.
Now to combos...

Attack: Lightning L-Drago D125/T125/125 RF
Defense: Earth Bull 100CS
Stamina: Earth Virgo 100WD

Also, if you're really concerned about Basalt, Earth ____ D125/T125/125WD beats it consistently.

Another thing- When you said SW145(or 145), I assume you meant you could take the wings off the part and get a 145 track. No, actually, you can't do that. If there's space for a part on your beyblade, you must have it on.

EDIT: Also, if your CS is aggressive, you could stick it on the Attack combo for some extra stamina.

About that 145 thing I read on the beyblade wiki that you can take the wings off of a Switch Wing 145 track to make it a variation of the proper 145 track and currently my Coat sharp tip behaves like a noramal sharp tip unless the bey gets hit by a destabilizer or I launch it at a slight angle. Thanks for the combos though.

Which is the best track for Gravity Perseus for attack

And Which is better for Hell Kerbecs CS or SD?

View All Faces · May. 29, 2012 12:16 PM

In my opinion, CH120 is probably the best track for Gravity, because of its versatility...

As for the other question, CS would be used if you want Defense, SD would be for stamina (though I would use WD for Hell BD145...)

PhantomX · May. 29, 2012 12:18 PM

Thanks but I thought D125 was better than CH120?

View All Faces · May. 29, 2012 12:23 PM

It's a personal preference. CH120 is more versatile, while D125 is more mid-height... I use CH120 (well, used. I have S130 on it for some reason now...)

Wow, such useful Parts!!

For Hasbro:
Attack: VariAres T125/D125 HF (If that doesn't work, put Gravity Destroyer on there...)
Defense: Diablo Kerbecs BD145CS
Stamina: Phantom Aquario B : D (Phantom B : D gets KO'd easy, but in a hasbro stadium, that's not a problem...)

When you get BB-10, upgrade to these:

Attack: VariAres R145RF
Defense: Diablo Kerbecs BD145 CS/RF (RF makes Anti-attack. Does pretty well...)
Stamina: Phantom Aquario AD145WD (You can use B : D at your own risk here...)

It would be best to get some Metal Faces to add to the Attack and Defense combo here... Also, try to get Flash Sagittario 230WD. Flash is the best attack wheel in the metagame right now. It'd be a great addition for attack...

I don't think the VariAres combo would work in Hasbro stadiums. HF has bad recoil handling, and VariAres is a recoil machine. I would use Duo over Diablo for defense, and apparently BD145 is bad in Hasbro stadiums when not in boost mode. I would add 230D as an option to the stamina section if he want's high track stamina.

Re : the stamina-attack hybrid thing. Well, he can make a stamina-attack hybrid using his HF, but it probably wouldn't be able to counter Basalt. E.G. Lightning L Drago 100HF

Well, the best track for Gravity is of course, based on personal preference. Smile

But considering that the best Gravity Attack combo at the moment is Gravity BD145MF.......... yeah!

Fantomu- I am not entirely sure, but I read that BD145 in normal mode does bad only when used in Basalt BD145CS. Confused

None. GB145WD is a mismatched setup. A defense track on a Stamina tip...

Actually Jan thats a Balance setup so its not a pure attack combo as it can spin steal and has a chance to knock out the bey as well. Wink

View All Faces · May. 29, 2012 5:06 PM

Neither is very good at all. Post all your parts, and we can probably make a better combo.
If those are your only 2 options, go with Flame, IMO.

EDIT: Beat by Janstarblast.

EDIT2: @ The No. 1 Blader-

That combo isn't technically a balance combo. Even it it were to spin in left spin, which isn't the best option, Gravity is really not that great at spin steal anyway. Furthermore, Lightning L-Drago can spin steal decently and yet isn't a balance. It's Attack. Finally, spin steal is pretty much only effective if that is the sole intent of the combo. Spinning left means you can spin steal, but just that ability doesn't make you a spin stealer. I COULD use Basalt on an Attack combo, but does that make it attack? No, it's Anti-attack, which is entirely the opposite.
