I see endurance not as a seperate type but as something they both need but which they sacrifice in exchange for grip/contact on the stadium(which both attck and defense rely on) . e.g. so it's like I think of a wolborg blade as a different ype of defense, instead of standing it's ground and defending, it's defending it self by having it's spin minimally effected and not taking much damage.
In basic terms i kinda see defnese as eather using a shield and standing your ground(the defenders that you know) or absorbing attacks so that they have minimal efects on decreasing your spin(the endurance types which you know),
it might not make sense to anyone but it's just how i see it, like in a war you basically defend or attack, attacking with endurance in mind will enable you to fight longer but not as strong if you don't use all your energy straight away, and while defending with endurance in mind means your defense won't be as solid but you'll be able to defend for longer. (dodgey example iknow , but it's hard to explain) ,
thats the best reasoning i can come up with at the moment it's not great but it'll do.
If you have a good enough defense though, good attack or not, your opponent is screwed, that's how it used to be anyway.
However, Most attack blades nowadays are built around smash attack anyway, so they don't have as much problems against defense as what they used to.
Endurance/Survival types generally outspin defensive beyblades, Wolborg is Endurance, not defensive.
Most attack type beyblades don't require endurance because you should be able to finish the battle in a couple of hits by throwing them out of the arena, or causing enough damage so that you outspin them because you've knocked all of their spin out of them.
If that makes any sense
There's a lot of upper attack combinations. o-o;
Also, Defense is very useful. I wonder why people don't bother with it. Defense has always been my specialty and it has served me very well.
That too XD But what i'm getting at is that there's ways of getting around defensive types with attack types and I find upper/smash does a pretty good job, then again, I don't make defensive types too often since my style always has been Balance.
So I'm probably wrong.
