My Hybrid just stopped working (light not flashing and no whirring sounds at all) after one hit from stock combo Union Achilles. I tried rearranging tthe batteries and bought an extra set to see if the batteries were at fault, but to no avail. F*** that stamina testing then (not like I have Go Weight to begin with). Hybrid is a shoddy piece of carp for not having metal especially around the actual part. I even tried having Union have a go against it again in the hopes of whacking it back to life, but I guess that's money out of the window now, unless there is something else I can do to give life into it again.
Based on what I have been testing so far, it seems that both Apocalypse and Genesis have the tendency to self Burst upon launch with most regular Drivers along with the usual Cores+Frames (say, 0G or 10E), which is probably why they put the Ul' in Apocalypse. Right now I'm running Apocalypse with 10P.Y and Genesis with 0G.Xt+. Not Bursting much, but the solo spin times and stamina are not really anything special. When launched at the perfect angle, it can withstand impacts from Judgment and Zwei, even with possibly reflecting the blows back only to send the opponent into the pockets.
Still neck-deep in testing since i just got Union, RBV 17 set, RLC 3 set, and the GT Customize set in one go.
Some mold differences I noticed: blue Revolve is less free-spinning than, red Trick is more free-spinning, red Sting Bounding gimmick is less rigid than the original color, purple Arme-I mean Vanguard still is useless as its original at least for most current GT combos.
