Gen (幻) is a Layer Weight released by Takara Tomy as part of the Burst System as well as the Gatchinko Layer System. It debuted in Japan as a G4 participation prize on March 15, 2019.
==Description==
Gen, unlike other Layer Weights, is a small rubber piece, with one side featuring a triangular protrusion that serves as a Burst Stopper. In theory, it is meant to make a combination using this Layer Weight nearly unburstable. However, there is one huge downside to Gen: The combination using it loses a substantial amount of weight. Since this weight is lost from the layer, this makes the increase in Burst Resistance less notable, as heavy discs will still skip teeth more on lighter layers. Furthermore, this loss of weight decreases Stamina, Attack, and Defense potential in any sort of combination. The only practical use of Gen is to make Dread semi-functional, as without Gen, Dread is even more burst prone.
==Overall==
Gen, while in theory serving to increase the burst resistance of otherwise bursty layers, does not do much in practice, and the loss of weight only serves to impede combinations using Gen. Therefore, Gen is recommended for collection purposes only.
However, in Limited format, certain Gatchinko Layer Bases are usable, but only with Gen. Therefore, for Limited format, it is not a must have but a welcome addition to any blader’s collection.
