Quote:==Description==
Bloody Longinus is a wide and heavy Energy Layer designed for Left Spin Attack that features five dragon heads, representing the anime's rendition of this Layer's beast, a dragon, one in the center of the Layer and four that line each of the wings that make up the points of contact, creating a diamond and thus aggressive and high recoil design. The snouts of the dragons and the tip of each wing are molded into the shape of spear heads which are meant to represent this Layer's Japanese namesake, the Roman Soldier Longinus of Christian Mythology who stabbed Christ with a lance.
As part of the Super-Z Layer System and like previous Longinus Layers, Bloody Longinus features metal in its design; in this case, each of the outer dragon heads are made of metal. The inclusion of metal makes Bloody Longinus one of the heavier Layers in the game.
The heavy weight of the metal dragon heads generates high inertia which increases the Layer's Knock-Out and Burst potential. While the left-spin nature of Bloody Longinus may imply that Burst Attack is only prevalent against other left-spin opponents, this Layer still has strong Burst Attack against right-spin opponents when moderate launched. Against a right-spin Beyblade, the left-spinning nature of Bloody Longinus means that it and the opponent's Layer will spin together like gears if they are of similar spin speed which heavily reduces recoil and rate of Bursts. However, if Bloody Longinus is launched at a different spin speed than that of the opponent, the difference will create recoil from the opponent's Layer catching into Bloody Longinus' wings, which grants this Layer Burst Attack and further improves Knock-Out Attack. Furthermore, Bloody Longinus is very wide which increases its Attack range and allows greater room for error in Banking Patterns. While the opposite spin allows for some degree of Spin Equalization, it is not to the degree of Drain Fafnir or Spriggan Requiem.
Like many other Super-Z Layers, Bloody Longinus is unbalanced which increases Burst risk, is liable to break Banking Patterns and drains Stamina. However, these issues can be solved with the use of a Level Chip that fits underneath the Layer.
==Use In Attack Combinations==
Bloody Longinus can be put to use in the Attack Combination Bloody Longinus 0/2/4/5/7 Bump/Meteor Jolt/Xtreme/Variable (Worn). The heavy weight of Bloody Longinus 0/2/4/5/7 Bump/Meteor creates high Burst and Knock-Out potential while Jolt/Xtreme/Variable (Worn) grants aggressive movement and speed even when moderate launched which further bolsters Burst Attack. While the use of high friction Tips and heavy Discs can increase Burst risk, the heavy weight of Bloody Longinus can compensate.
==Overall==
Bloody Longinus' heavy weight, Knock-Out and Burst potential makes it the best Left-Spin Attack Layer in the metagame at the time of writing and its ability to accommodate Discs gives it greater versatility and greater overall combination weight than its predecessor Nightmare Longinus.
As such, Bloody Longinus is a must have for competitive bladers.
Do not believe this draft to be accurate. This is just speculation based on the performance of previous Longinus Layers
