[HMS] :: Q&A Thread

I don't have any tests to show, but I can say, that much like with Dranzer V2s BB, I never liked TC core's performance and also opted for Dranzer MSs MC core over it for taller attack combos.
Tornado Change doesn't do particularly well while in endurance and once it goes into attack mode, it's too weak to KO anything reliably.
How come the main hms beyblades(driger,draciel,dranzer,gaia dragoon) are so common even though they were made around 2003?
@KoD PT: Thankyou also Smile

kotahh: Dragoon MS was also a "Main" HMS bey, and it is rather hard to find, or at least, rather expensive.

It's a combination of over-production and lack of interest, in the end.
Of the HMS starter packs, which is the best purchase based on price and availability? I'm looking to get a launcher, but don't mind getting one of the useless HMS Beys if they are cheap, however if I have to pay a little more for a starter pack with more competitive parts, I don't mind.

To add: I know this will probably come down to buying Driger MS/Draciel MS/Gaia Dragoon MS so if those end up being essentially the only options, that's ok, but I'd just like to get as much info as I can before settling on that.
I only have one HMS bey that is Dark Leopard MS .Is it a good bey in competitive use?

Beywiki is your friend :

Other than some use in Force Smash, which is not really useful, it is not too good competitively.
Best HMS bey to buy for around 20-15$, for a guy who has no HMS beys?
15-20$? Get the common 3(Gaia Dragoon MS, Driger MS and Draciel MS) from dimsum2u. AFAIK, those are the only ones we can possibly get in less than 25-30$.
I've seen a few Advance Averazers on eBay hovering around the $15-20 price range.
Facepalm Pinching_eyes_2 I meant 20-25! My bad guys.
Advance Averazer is pretty good out of the box, so that may be the best you can buy with your budget.
do you guys know how much Driger g is worth (not selling just asking)

Wrong thread...put this in the "Plastic Discussion" thread just above this one.

But on eBay they're like $15, maybe less if not in box.

No, not the Plastics Discussion topic : the Plastics Q & A thread. And that is exactly where I told him to post the first time anyway ...

Really sorry I'm not to familiar with the hms and plastics (thought they were the same). Sorry Crying
Not that I know of.
From everything I've heard, it's not as strong as the Dual Shooter, AND you have to wind it by hand after every launch.

So, either way, not worth the hassle.
What single HMS bey should I get?
If you have the money, Wolborg MS. It's amazing just out of the box, and even better customized. If you have the money and can find one, get it.
Death Gargoyle/Dark Effigy MS should also be noted as great OOTB, and could do better than wolborg in more KO-friendly stadia.
If you mean the Tornado Balance S stadiam, I will either be using Tornado Balance, or a BB-10. Thanks!
Is Dranzer MS worth $22.95?
Hard to say. None of its parts are top tier but the RC (of the takara version at least, apparently the hasbro one is hard to control) is a fun part to mess around with, and probably the best force smash RC, though force smash isn't really competitive. I can't really recommend the purchase, to be honest, as I'm definitely biased towards the bey, but IMO it's a fair enough price.

Honestly if you're in TBTS you need a rubber tipped attacker or something as far as I know.

TB is a great place to have a wolborg because it's defensively biased. BB-10 is very KO friendly so DEMS would probably be a slightly better choice (though wolborg still works extremely well in there apparently). If you're going to be using them both, then get wolborg if you can.
Wolborg it is!
