Face: Horogium
Horogium is Latin for clock. It is one of the 88 constellations in space.
Clear Wheel: Horogium
Weight: 2.7 grams
The Clear Wheel has the 12 Roman numerals, however there is no III and instead of IV there is IIII.
Metal Wheel: Basalt
Weight: 47.8 grams
Basalt has maximum Defense abilities. It is also the heaviest Metal Wheel ever made.
Track: 145
145, along with its variants (C145, DF145, etc.), was once the highest Track available, until the 230 Track was released with Flame Byxis. It can be used in Stamina customs to great effect due to its tall height, which allows for more wobbling as the Beyblade loses its spin velocity. 145, as tall as it is, makes it easily susceptible to low Attackers; however, this should not be seen as a drawback because Stamina types are not traditionally designed to be used against Attack types.
Use in Attack Customization
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
145 can be put to good use in the Attack custom, MF Pegasis 145RF. Pegasis has been proved to perform viciously when used in unison with 145, which maximizes the effectiveness of its Smash Attack.
Use in Stamina Customization
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
145 can be put to good use in the custom Burn Bull 145SD.
Bottom: Wide Defense
Weight: 0.7 grams
Wide Defense, as its name implies is the widest of the "Defense" series of Bottoms (D, SD, and now WD). This brings numerous advantages, but also some disadvantages when compared to the other "Defense" Bottoms. Because of its massive width that reaches the edge of the Bottom's perimeter, it is able to wobble at a significantly larger angle for a longer period of time than D or SD, and at a much lower spin rate. This can be advantageous in many battles, particularly those between two Stamina types when they are about to topple over; however, if you happen to have a weaker shot than your opponent who is using something such as Virgo DF145SD, WDs low spin rate towards the end of the battle will make it extremely easy for the opponent to knock it completely over. This low spin rate towards the end of the battle is created because, in the process of wobbling at such a large angle, more friction is made with the stadium floor, thus decreasing its Stamina. This is all avoidable however, if your shot is as least as powerful as your opponent, as the extra time it is able to spin on an angle will allow you to narrowly outspin your D or SD based opponent.
WD has significant defensive capabilities as well, but because it uses a form of sharp tip, its friction with the stadium floor is decreased, which as a result makes it easier to knock around than something like WB which has more friction with the stadium floor. WD does of course offer superior Stamina to WB which in rare cases would be an advantage, but WB more often than not has enough Stamina to outlast Attack types.
Use in Defense Customization
WD is arguably the best of the "Defense" series of Bottoms, and its effectiveness can be utilized in the custom Earth Bull AD145WD.
Use in Stamina Customization
If you want to add some more Stamina to your Defense customization, while still retaining much defensive capability, swap out WB or B for WD. MF Earth Bull 230WD is a good example of this.
Overall
Basalt and WD have uses in top-tier Defense customizations while WD also has uses in top-tier Stamina customizations as well while 145 is one of viable Stamina Track options. Every Blader should own at least one of this Beyblade.
