Quote:Iron is a Performance Tip released as part of the Burst System. It debuted with the release of the B-92 Starter Sieg Xcalibur 1 Iron on September 16, 2017.
==Description==
Iron features a flat metal tip, akin to Metal Fight Beyblade's Metal Flat Performance Tip, that sits at the standard height with a tip diameter equal to Accel and Hunter.
Due to the surface area, Iron will create a moderately aggressive, and if launched with a Banking Shoot, easily controllable movement pattern. In terms of speed, Iron is on par with Accel and Zephyr, capable of reaching and stalling on the Tornado Ridge. What sets Iron apart from Accel is the low friction of metal which can bolster the Burst resistance of a combination and gives Iron greater stamina than even Zephyr, making it an excellent choice for both Mobile Stamina and Attack/Stamina Balance combinations. Furthermore, the metal contruction also ensures that Iron will not wear out like other Tips such as Xtreme nor be damaged like Zephyr.
However, Iron's low friction is also a weakness. If an Iron combination is hit from behind by a faster opponent, it is very much likely to slip off of the Tornado Ridge and be Knocked-Out. Furthermore, Attack combinations using Iron can lose their Banking Pattern incredibly easily, especially if the combinations are unbalanced.
==Use in Stamina Combinations==
Iron can be put to use in the Mobile Stamina/Tornado Staller combination Maximum Garuda/Guardian Kerbeus Gravity/2/4/5/7/8 Glaive/Cross Iron. The Stamina and Outward Weight Distribution of Maximum Garuda/Guardian Kerbeus and Gravity/2/4/5/7/8 Glaive/Cross bolsters Iron's own and increases the time the combinations can stall on the Tornado Ridge while the heavy weight of Gravity/2/4/5/7/8 Glaive/Cross can resist skipping off of the Ridge. The Burst Risk from using heavy Disks with high OWD is also mitigated by the low friction of Iron. These factors can allow the combination to out spin most other combinations, however it is highly susceptible to attack types with plastic tips such as Spiral.
==Overall==
Iron features great speed, stamina and Burst resistance, but is hindered by low Knock-Out resistance and high chances of attack pattern loss. As such Iron is not a must have but is a welcome addition to any blader's collection.
