Hasbro really likes giving Defense Layers strong slopes and I'm a little sick of seeing Unicrest used all the time so I tested Evipero and Unicrest U2 .... a bit too much
Equipment: B-33 Stadium
Light Launcher + Long Winder (For Attack Type)
Light Launcher LR (For Defense Type, gives moderate launch)
Defense Types launched normally
Attack Types launched with Banking Shot
Any "Mislaunches" were retested
Why Triple?
To give the Lightweight Valktryek Combo the greastest possible Attack Potential by lining up attack points
Why Force?
Two clicks equivalent and the points line up granting higher Attack Potential

Legend Spriggan 7Meteor Xtreme vs. Evipero Heavy Needle
Overall, I think Unicrest U2 and Evipero are just a tad bit risky compared to Unicrest. The horn on U2 creates a Burst risk if it's knocked off balance and Evipero's comparatively rougher design means that it has a higher Knock-Out risk. And remember, I don't have Roktavor which is stronger than Xcalius or Valtryek so success could be limited in tournaments.
And if you're thinking about using these two in Takara Tomy tournaments, forget it

I consider mislaunches to be failed Banking Shots and any launcher error as those do not give any information on Beyblade Performance. Only how bad the user is at launching.

This one was weird. All the Knock-Outs happened the exact same way, one hit to bring U2 to the Tornado Ridge, then another immediately after to knock it out. Whether or not this was a string of good luck or U2 is not good in heavy defense, I leave it up to you.
