Forge Disc - Armed

'''Armed''' is a [[Forge Disc]] released as part of the [[Burst System]]. It debuted with the release of [[Wyvron Armed Massive]] on 19th September 2015.

==Description==

Weight:19 grams

Armed has a bulky appearance implying a heavy weight. While in reality it is actually  quite light: flipping the disc  over reveals that most of the bottom of the disk is hollowed out. Armed’s lightness, combined with a bulky shape that adds air resistance, and the fact that all Drivers are the same height — making Disk on Layer contact very uncommon, means that Armed has effectively no use in competitive play. It is outclassed by disk such as Heavy and Spread with Heavy being one of the Disks of choice for Attack and Defense types, whereas the longest-spinning combination of Deathscyther Spread Revolve relies on Spread to increase stamina.

I feel like it's important to mention it's low weight makes it one of the hardest disks to burst thusfar

Armed has a bulky appearance implying a heavy weight. While in reality it is actually very light due to how hollow the Disc is. Armed’s lightness gave it the greatest Burst resistance of any Disc at the time while the relatively smooth surface reduced recoil when struck if paired with a Performance Tip with poor stability. However, this same lightness severely reduced Knock-Out resistance and stamina as a trade-off.

==Overall==
At the time of release, Armed was a decent Disc for Burst Defense combinations. However, with the release of the heavier Switch-Strike/God Layer System, the need for lightweight Discs to increase Burst resistance no longer applies, making Armed outclassed by Core Discs and Frames.

As such, Armed is recommended for collection purposes only.
