Dynamite on high Xtend+‘ in DB is just the new tempest Xtend+ in sparking. Achilles has always had a kinda backwards longinus shape and that’s good for countering other attackers on things like ev’. Shield mode was good for niche stuff like on drift it tanked rage and beat 99.99% of lefts. Or on Xtend+ it was like tempest but less stamina and more defensive. Now it sucks though. Dynamite is on a whole other power level. The only sparking thing that might be mediocre at the very best is Rage Helios2 on xtreme’, but even then guilty exists.
I don't think Tempest really sucks. I hardly succeed on using DB combos other than Dynamite/Devil-F to counter Tempest combos in same-spin stamina match (I don't know how you did that with Dynamite stock combo). It's just Dynamite/Devil-F is too good and like average is 5, good is 6, tempest is 7 while D/Dv-F is 10.
BTW I am glad to have another Tempest release. I've broken too many Tempests and that set is quite expensive... it will be good to have a cheaper way to get Tempest.
I wouldn’t say so. I’ve beaten tempest with flipping right astral on ev’! There are some things I didnt actually mention (forgot to) though.
1- My Xtend+ is worn so it’s more of a ball/semi-flat tip then a sharp but it still has great stamina. It just moves a bit more and isn’t as easy to destabilize with stuff like atomic.
2- I don’t have solomon. I used Lucifer 2 with the tempest vs DB stuff I did. When I said dynamite stock beats Tempest Solomon Wheel Xt+ I was referring to seeing other people do this.
3- My tempest isn’t as good as any other I’ve seen. Some people launch it and it isn’t awakened. Mine is the opposite. Kinda like Lucifer’s barrier. The awakening is out in the beggining. After that it goes either: 1- A hard hit knocks the awakening back in or 2- The awakening blades slowly decrease in width as the bey slow down in spin.
All of this combined probably makes my tempest on Xtend+ not as good as yours, or for that matter anyone else’s. I guess that’s why it just seems so bad to me. And I do agree with you on the dynamite/devil-f gear thing. If average was 5 that would definitely be at least 10, if not 100!
My tempest hasn’t broken, but my friend USN’s tempest broke, I remember someone posted a pic of their broken tempest on a thread, and I saw some beytuber talking about it also. And now that you’ve also said multiple, not one but multiple, tempests have broken, I’m curious how did it break? I never got the specific details from my friend or anyone else I saw, so I’m curious what makes tempest break so much?
