Energy Layer Base - Brave (Hasbro)

Brave is an Energy Layer Base released as part of the Speedstorm System. It debuted with the release of Brave Roktavor R6 Ratchet Survival-SP.

==Description==

Brave is an Energy Layer base with three contact points, characteristic of the Valtryek line. These contact points end in somewhat sharp ends, and are angled downwards. Unlike its Takara Tomy counterpart, Brave does not feature rubber on the layer base. Instead, the whole base is made of a single plastic piece, compatible with Hasbro Storm Chips. It also cannot hold a Chassis, unlike the Takara Tomy counterpart. It is considerably more hollow as well, meaning it cannot reach the weight of it's counterpart easily.

Brave, even with a tight Storm Chip such as Dragon D6, is a very light Storm base, and is outclassed by many other attacking options. The shape of the contact points does not work as well without the rubber, and since there is less weight behind them, it is a far less effective option for attack than the Takara Tomy counterpart, or even other Hasbro Energy Layers, such as Turbo Valtryek or Nightmare Luinor, which are either heavier or have more effective shapes. 

=Overall==

The Brave Energy Layer base is very light, and has an ineffectual attacking shape that hinders it from any form of success competitively, and there are many better options, even for a Hasbro based metagame. Thus, Brave should be considered for collection purposes only.

This was made in June, before anyone knew about the Slayer Battle Set
I am using the terminology Hasbro uses, and I asked about it previously. I can edit in the Slayer set, but the ring is still horrible for any competitive format it's allowed in.

Ask for the rubber and weight back, give it better contact points, literally change everything about it, honestly. Turbo Valtryek V3 is better in basically every way, and even Myth for Rise is way better.

I don't think the Wiki is using the correct Hasbro terminology anyways. "Layer Base" and "Ring" are Takara Tomy terms while it's "Energy Layer Base" for both in Hasbro's official marketing.
Added the Slayer set release.

We aren't, but I was just told to leave it as Ring to not confuse people of the GT/HS Bases.

That's understandable, and definitely the correct call imo. Having "Energy Layer Base" for all the Bases would just be confusing.

Base fits Hasbro's Rings more than the term Ring, maybe change them to Storm Layer Base? If so, I'll ask KJ to see what he thinks.

I thought the evolution looked shorter. Are you sure?
Another awesome review Suzaku but are you the only one who can do Speedstorm reviews or something? Becuase I have a Kolossal that I want to write a review about but wanna check with you first

Honestly I think it's fine as it is. You guys made the right call before.

Yeah Hasbro screwed up and put Evolution instead of Evolutional-SP in the Slayer Set.
