Peter pig video explain:
-Teeth is identical to Belial I
-Layer is only heavier than stock Dynamite and Cyclone layers, altogether only about 73 gram srtock
-The Halo is activated by a spring on both sides of the layer, and is easier to activate (he literally used a proto launcher and it still worked)
-HXT' is taller by 4mm
-Attack/Defense mode may self Ko when hard launched(?) and is probably better for spin steal(?), stamina has a small sharp and won't self ko(?)
-Driver attachments must all be unique apparently
-He claims that the inspiration for Rashad was something in his heart awakened vs Perfect Belial (.....)

-The halo's material is so fragile, even the left half took ridiculous amounts of wear.
Final thoughts: The layer needs multiples, and has surprisingly good stamina. Even though parts carry, it isn't as much of a meme release as I thought

Not the heaviest, Also not Surprised the hook for gimmick break easily (Peterpig might be clickbait), but Suprisingly it can still be launch normally when the hook is broken

I wonder if we were all looking down on Raphael becuz of its meme gimmick

He showed footage of Guilty cutting of the hook

Im very suprised that when the gimmick activates it doesn't wobble as much as seen in TT vid and plus it doesn't destabilize as much as i though which means that this bey might be good but again im not expecting this to beat out dynamite+F. As for the breakage again this is a 50/50 since its coming from one guy

Also for those who are wondering greatest raphael weight around 30.6 grams

Huh, 2 Chinese YouTubers joke about how the halo is a 🧺.....

PeterPig had Phoenix break Dangerous even though that is impossible to happen without it being pre-broken beforehand, I think it's time we stop taking PeterPig seriously for breaks, if it happens every single release with him.

As silly as the gimmick might be, i think most of us severely underestimated how impressive Raphael was going to be even with that gimmick.

Of course we need a lot more testing but it does seem like Raphael might be a good layer. (Tho i would recommend getting multiple copies since the hooks that hold the Halo down seem fragile)

THIS!!!

It gets views, guys.

Let's wait until more people get it.

I mean, the hooks and the gimmick part do look pretty fragile. Especially when spinning at high speeds and hitting other beys spinning at high speeds. But, I've seen more fragile things take a bigger beating. So I guess we'll have to wait and see.

The main part here I would say is HXt+’

Speaking of HXt+', according to mSD's toy channel the settings change how Raphael moves, idk if it is the same as normal Xt+:
-Stamina: Mostly sits in center, moves around slightly but not much
-Defense: Slightly more aggressive, flat launched it did a flower pattern on its own.
-Attack: Super fast and has tornado stalling potential, but high SD risk

Now for MSD's combo testings (AKA where i based my dangerous and Prominence drafts) (Also he says the burst blockers retract when spin speeds are high to increase OWD and how its the same structure as a late Cho-z layer)
Vs Tempest Solomon Wheel Metal Universe 1S in stamina mode
Round 1:Lose (Xtend+ stamina nd universe move similarly, Greatest destabililised when gimmick activated)
Round 2:Lose (Apparently Xtend+ same spin is no no???)
Vs Left World Spriggan Giga Drift 1D (aka MSD's most powerful sin steal combo)
Round 1:Lose (Poor LAD apparently, but its Drift, what can you do abt it? Xtend+ is in defense mode)
Round 2: Draw (Xtend+ changed to attack, increasing aggression)
Round 3: Lose (By LAD barely)
Vs Dynamite+F Belial I Over Never-2 (In stamina mode)
Round 1: Win (It crushed Low Mode for an OS)
Round 2: Loss (Dynamite switched to High Mode, then OS'd Raphael)
Round 3raw (Both stopped spinning around the same time)
Round 4: Loss (Noted how stock's chance against same spin requires a miracle)
Vs Vanish fafnir Karma Zone'+Z-3
Round 1: Draw (In attack mode, drew with high mode Vanish)
Round 2raw
Vs Guilty Bahamut Nexus+S Mobius-2
Round 1;Loss (Koed by Low Mode Guilty in attack mode, apparently traction is kinda poor)
Round 2: Win (Kos Guilty before getting kode)
Round 3: Win (I saw it OS Guilty, but he says Guilty W)
MSD's final thoughts on stock:
-Stock isn't that good
-HXt+' is still Xt+, not so good same spin but good opp. spin (Attack/Defense Mode only)
-The + chip is apparently slippery, causes the combination to have poor KO resistance or self KO when hard launched
-HXt"+ not good with layer
-Gimmick has brief window of instability
-Gimmick is too easy to activate, and only 1 may activate sometimes

And then the madlad decided to try Cho-Z combos on this layer, against Astral Spriggan (Right) Over Atomic-0, and World Spriggan (Left) Giga Drift

PREMIERE AT 10 AM  EST

recently watched zankye review, I'm actually surprised its perform very well, not only very good at stamina and lad but heck also it bursted Guilty Longinus. I think this is one of the best Stock combo in DB season even though its doesn't have low mode.

---

Also one thing i just realised that The Gimmick activation is moving faster too if your stamina deplete faster also.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jkwVVIteHc Can Fused Drivers save Raphael? (Are they even meta relevant??)

Greatest Raphael is weird. With Stamina mode it can OS every DB beys but not Prominence Phoenix, but with Attack mode it actually can OS Prominence Phoenix. I guess because Attack mode is more stable, balance and less shaky than stamina mode.

I just realized that not all Hxt+' is equal, some tips are less sharp and some stamina tips are less expose (because of the plate thicker than normal)

it looks more like an anti Valkyrie cause Savior jumps and it looks like it is meant to defend against attacks from above
