Energy Layer - Alter Chronos

Quote:[Hasbro Name], known as Alter Chronos in Japan is an Energy Layer released as part of the Burst System. It debuted with the release of the B-82 Booster Alter Chronos 6Meteor Trans on May 27th, 2017.

==Description==
Alter Chronos is a five bladed Balance Type Energy Layer. Underneath the God Chip is a face meant to depict this Layer's namesake, the Greek Titan of Time Kronos, surrounding the God Chip are numerous gears to further emphasis the time motif. The five blades of Alter Chronos are large with only small gaps between them, meant to create a mix between Attack and Stamina through Outward Weight Distribution. As part of the God Layer System, Alter Chronos features a gimmick; the underside of the Layer can be moved to change the Layer's balance for two modes, "Stamina Mode" and "Attack Mode".

In Stamina Mode, the top of the Layer shows a blue dot and the weight is evenly distributed throughout the Layer to create a stable, stamina conserving spin.
Depending on what Performance Tip the Layer is paired with in this mode, Alter Chronos can be used in Stationary Stamina or Mobile Stamina customizaitons.

In Attack Mode, the top of the Layer shows a red dot and the weight is focused on one side of the Layer to create an unstable spin which improves attack potential and gives the Layer the ability to destabilize the opponent at the cost of spin time.
Depending on what Performance Tip this Layer is paired with in this mode, Alter Chronos can be used in Stamina Counters (*Counter Stamina types of destabilizing them to waste stamina) or Knock-Out Attack customizaitons.

Gonna wait for more testing on @[TrainiacJ]'s testing thread before coming back to this
Don't forget that the blade to the left of the hole where the colored dots are displayed juts out more than the others.

You accidentally wrote Kronos once. They are 2 completely different gods.
would the seven disk work with this in attack mode?
would aC be even good for stationary stamina i mean the design might produce recoil.

That's why I'm waiting for more testing
aC weighs 10.86g
When you look at Chronos, you can see that the spikes go in the opposite direction of Chronos's spin. Therefore, the spikes should not produce recoil and they may even add defensive value to this layer. It's similar to Wyvern in a sense.
What's a good combo(s) for aC?

In Stamina Mode, the top of the Layer shows a blue dot and the weight is evenly distributed throughout the Layer to create a stable, stamina conserving spin.The five Blades present on the layers have small slopes which can help destabilize the opponent.
Depending on what Performance Tip the Layer is paired with in this mode, Alter Chronos can be used in Stationary  Defense/Stamina customizaitons.

In Attack Mode, the top of the Layer shows a red dot and the weight is focused on one side of the Layer to create an unstable spin which improves attack potential and gives the Layer the ability to destabilize the opponent at the cost of spin time.

The round shape,high outward weight distribution of Alter Chronus gives high stamina potential but it is outclassed by Guardian Kerbeus and Galaxy Zeus in the stamina department.While outclassed in the stamina department,Defense is where Alter Chronus real potential lies.The round shape and good Teeth of this layer give it excellent defense which is further bolstered by its heavy weight.These features makes this layer one of the best defensive layers in the meta game.Unlike other defensive layers Alter Chronus does not suffer from stamina issues.

==Use in (Defense/Stamina Hybrid)  Balance Customizations==
Alter Chronus can be put to use in (Defense/Stamina Hybrid)  Balance Customization Alter Chronus 2/4/5/7/8 Glaive/Cross Atomic/Orbit.The heavy weight,good teeth and round shape of Alter Chronus makes this combo difficult to KO and Burst while due to the slopes present on the five blades it can also destabilize the opponent .While using 2/4/5/8 Glaive/Cross can give this combo better stamina,using 7 Glaive/Cross can give better KO and Burst defense.While using Atomic can give better stability,LAD and destabilizing potential,using Orbit can give more Burst and KO defense and More stamina to this customization.
==Overall==
Overall,Alter Chronus is a Top-Tier layer for Defense/Stamina Hybrid customizations but is still over shadowed by Maximum Garuda.So,Alter Chronus is not a must-have but a welcome addition to a blader's colletion.

In Attack Mode, the top of the Layer shows a red dot and the weight is focused on one side of the Layer to create an unstable spin which improves attack potential and gives the Layer the ability to destabilize the opponent with the small slopes found on the blades at the cost of spin time. However, Burst attack potential is limited due to the compact nature of the blades.

The compact blades and outward weight distribution of Alter Chronus gives high stamina potential but it is still outclassed by Guardian Kerbeus and Maximum Garuda. Due to this, Alter Chronos' true potential lies within Defense. The compact, low recoil blades, high stamina compared to many other Defensive Layers and excellent teeth on the Japanese release of this Layer makes it a top tier choice for Defense combinations.

==Use in (Defense/Stamina Hybrid)  Balance Customizations==
Alter Chronus can be put to use in Defense/Stamina Balance Customization Alter Chronus 2/4/5/7/8 Glaive/Cross Atomic/Orbit/Revolve. The heavy weight, tall teeth and compact blades of Alter Chronus gives this combinations high Knock-Out and Burst resistance while the slopes present on the five blades it can also destabilize the opponent. The heavy weight of 2/4/5/7/8 Glaive/Cross bolsters Knock-Out resistance and the use of 4/8 Glaive/Cross specifically can further bolster Stamina. Atomic/Orbit/Revolve can further bolster Stamina and Atomic specifically can grant Life-After-Death and greater destabilization potential.

==Overall==
Overall, Alter Chronos is a Top-Tier and commonly available Layer for Defense/Stamina Balance customizations and makes an excellent alternative if one is unable to obtain Maximum Garuda. As such, Alter Chronos is a must have for competitive bladers.

i dont think using revolve with aC would be good cuz then gZ atomic would destroy it

Well if you don't have Atomic then Revolve makes sense. If you already used Atomic on one of your beys in deck format, Revolve can be decent as a second stamina option

No then the only option left would be orbit. The only thing which can be used with revolve in today's meta is gK. aC on revolve would get destroyed by any other atomic based combos which are actually quite popular

Revolve is better than Orbit in terms of stamina
Thus, if you're against a Orbit based combo and you have Revolve you are more likely to out spin the opponent. Again, if you don't have Atomic then Revolve is your best bet

Don't forget Orbit can destablize other beys and resist being very well too so against Atomic, Orbit would probably do better + Orbit is known to OS Revolves based combos by destablizing.  aC also doesn't have raw stamina advantage to other layers in meta to take advantage of revolve so I too think Orbit would be better
Also, for attack mode, the black plastic part under aC can still rotate to a certain degree, unlike in stamina mode where it's fixed. As a result, the destabilizing power of the layer can be carefully adjusted depending on the situation.

Who knows. They probably can't copyright certain things easily. It sucks, but that's a problem they've had with Transformers for years. (Trademarks come and go, necessitating name changes) And many of the names since MFB are probably harder to copyright in America (ex.: Big Bang Pegasis doesn't sound like it would fly, thanks to a certain show called "The Big Bang Theory", hence the laughable Cosmic Pegasus...though idk what difference the "I" and the "U" makes...meanwhile, no idea why L-Drago Destroy got switched to the even dumber sounding L-Drago Destructor). Then again, maybe for Burst, they just wanna do their own thing. (Ex.: abandoning the trademarks for Amaterios & Baderov/Baldur before they're even USED)

Alter Chronos is a five bladed Balance Type Energy Layer with one blade protruding further than the rest.

However, Burst attack potential is limited due to the compact nature of the blades and how little the protrusion sticks out from the rest of the Layer.

The outward weight distribution caused by the gimmick's design gives Cognite C3 relatively high stamina potential but it is heavily outclassed by Drain Fafnir and Deep Chaos. Due to this, Alter Chronos' true potential lies within Defense. The compact, low recoil blades, high stamina compared to many other Defensive Layers and excellent teeth on the Japanese release of this Layer makes it a top tier choice for Defense combinations.

==Use in Defense Customizations==
Alter Chronus can be put to use in Defense Customization Alter Chronus 0/2/4/5/7 Glaive/Cross Atomic/Orbit/Revolve. The heavy weight, tall teeth and compact blades of Alter Chronus gives this combinations high Knock-Out and Burst resistance while the slopes present on the five blades it can also destabilize the opponent.
