Face: Giraffe
The Face on this Beyblade depicts Camelopardalis, one of the 88 constellations in space.
Clear Wheel: Giraffe
Weight: 2.8 grams
The Giraffe Clear Wheel was originally released in a transparent yellow-green color with orange details. The Clear wheel is oval-shaped with curved details, as well as two small notches sticking out, resembling a giraffe’s head.
Metal Wheel: Rock
Weight: 31.4 grams
Rock has six large protrusions with small, shallow gaps between each one. It also overhangs the Track much like the original Leone Metal Wheel, although to a smaller extent.
Rock is one of the heaviest Hybrid Wheel System Wheels to date. However, as a Defense type, it is unable to match the qualities of Metal Wheels such as Earth and Virgo, because the shape of Rock produces a significant amount of recoil upon contact with another Wheel. As a result, Rock is an outclassed Defense Wheel.
Track: Rubber 145
Weight: 4.7 grams
The R145 track is currently the heaviest Track. This Track is shaped similarly to WD145, but instead of the ‘wings’ being made of plastic, they are made of hard rubber, and are also even more widely spread. The concept of this track was to absorb hits from low attackers, which does work occasionally. However, as with WD145, some recoil is produced because of the gaps between the wings. The track's wide shape and low placement also allows itself to scrape on the stadium floor, creating severe stamina loss, similar to that of C145 and ED145. Although this track is meant for defense from low attacks, C145 outclasses this Track’s defense capabilities against low attackers. Although conversely, the heavy weight of R145 is beneficial against taller smash attackers.
Bottom: Wide Ball
Weight: 0.7 grams
The Bottom of this Beyblade is its most valuable part. WB is essentially B, with a larger spherical surface, hence “wideâ€. As a result, it is seen as an improvement over B in terms of Defensive qualities. This is because of the greater surface area in contact with the Stadium floor at any one time. However, because of this wider contact area, the Bottom also causes more movement compared to B. This is disadvantageous when facing an Attack type, because the Defense customization is closer to the Stadium exits, hence increasing the likelihood of a KO. To prevent this, many launch WB-based customizations at about 60-70% power, meaning that the Beyblade itself stays in the centre, while retaining the defensive qualities of WB.
Use in Defense Customization
Currently, WB is the preferred choice of Bottom for Defense customizations, in particular top-tier customization MF Earth Bull C145WB.
Other versions:
Poison Giraffe S130MB - BB-86 - Beyblade Deck Attack & Defense Set
Overall:
Rock Giraffe R145WB is currently the best HWS defense type uncustomized. R145 does have its risks, but if used properly, can be a great defensive track. If WB is already obtained, there is little or no reason to buy this Beyblade. However, this Beyblade is an excellent alternative to Rock Leone. (Needs to be refined)
I believe that R145 should be tested much more before releasing the final draft, but this is what I have so far.
Let the criticisms begin : D
