* Weight: 7 grams

Square Edge's large, diamond-like design depicts two triangular Manta Rays, each separated by a large gap at the ends. The wings themselves are covered in triangular spikes, which allow for some [[Smash Attack]], however, the poor shape of these contact points, as well as the [[Recoil]] and limited [[Smash Attack|Smash]] produced by the tips of the wings diminishes Square Edge's competitive use. It can be used for OHKO customizations, but these as a whole are not particularly useful, and there are many better options for Square Edge for this purpose. Furthermore, the somewhat aggressive shape, heavy weight, and large size of Square Edge means it is a decent choice for more aggressive Weight Based [[Defense]] customizations.

=== Use in Weight Based [[Defense]] Customization ===
The main use of this customization is to attempt [[Gattyaki]] or a similar style of launch aiming to knock the opponent out of the arena before they can make contact. The heavy weight of this combination aids in surviving the initial hit as well as providing more momentum to KO the opponent, and the large size of Square Edge makes hitting the opponent significantly easier. While other Attack Rings, such as [[Venus|Mirage Goddess]] are better at this due to their superior [[Defense]] ability once in the stadium, Square Edge is still a viable choice. Here is one such customization:

Quote:{{Beybox
| image = Manta_diver.jpg
| full item name = Manta Diver
| item number = B-104 (Hasbro)
| beyblade system = [[5-Layer]]
| beyblade type = [[Survival]]

__TOC__

'''Manta Diver''' is found in [[Takara|Takara's]] Random Booster 11, in which the White version is one of three prize Beyblades, with a 1/12 chance of obtaining one. This Random Booster also contains Aquamarine and Red-Orange versions of the Beyblade.

Hasbro released this Beyblade in their G-Revolution line, under the same name, with a [[Wide Weight Disks|10 Wide]] Weight Disk, and Normal [[Spin Gear#S_To_F_Series_Spin_Gears|Right Spin Gear]].


== Attack Ring (AR): Square Edge ==
* Weight: 7 grams

Square Edge's large, diamond-like design depicts two triangular Manta Rays, separated by a large gap and the ends of each Ray's wings. The wings themselves are covered in triangular spikes, which allow for some [[Smash Attack]], however, the poor shape of these contact points, as well as the [[Recoil]] and limited [[Smash Attack|Smash]] produced by the tips of the wings diminishes Square Edge's competitive use. It may be used for OHKO customization, but these as a whole are not particularly useful, and there are many better options than Square Edge for this purpose, such as [[Dragoon V2|Dragoon V2's]] Spike Dragon. The large size and weight does allow for some use in more aggressive Weight-Based [[Defense]] customizations, however.

=== Use in Weight Based [[Defense]] Customization ===
The main use of this customization is to attempt [[Gattyaki]] or a similar style of launch aiming to KO the opponent before hitting the arena. The heavy weight of this combination aids in surviving the initial hit as well as providing more momentum to KO the opponent, and the large size of Square Edge makes hitting the opponent significantly easier. While other Attack Rings, such as [[Venus|Mirage Goddess]] are better at this due to their superior [[Defense]] ability once in the stadium, Square Edge is still a viable choice. Here is one such customization:

* '''AR:''' Square Edge
* '''WD:''' [[Wide Defense]]
* '''SG:''' [[Spin_Gear#V_and_V2_Series_Spin_Gears|Neo-Right SG]] (Heavy Metal Core)
* '''BB:''' SG Metal Ball (4 Balls) ([[Draciel S]])

== Weight Disk (WD): Random ==
As it was released by [[Takara]] in a Random Booster, the Weight Disk received is random. The possible Weight Disks are: [[Star Attack]], [[Revolver Attack]], [[Heavy Weight Disks|10 Heavy]], [[Balance Weight Disks|10 Balance]], and [[Wide Weight Disks|10 Wide]].
The [[Hasbro]] release of this Beyblade contains [[Wide Weight Disks|10 Wide]].

== Spin Gear (SG): Neo Right SG (Metal Weight Version)==

See [[Spin Gear#V and V2 Series Spin Gears|Neo Right SG]].

[[Hasbro]] Released this Beyblade with a regular [[Spin Gear#S_To_F_Series_Spin_Gears|Right SG]].

== Blade Base (BB): SG Sharp ==

==Other Versions==
* [[Manta Diver]] - Aquamarine (Random Booster 11)
* [[Manta Diver]] - Orange-Red (Random Booster 11)

== Overall ==

[[Manta Diver]] is an aesthetically pleasing blade, however, despite being arguably the most viable of the Diver series, it still has no real competitive use. '''Manta Diver is only recommended for collection purposes.'''

I forgot to include that disclaimer on my second draft there, sorry.

And I *think* it would be smash, the spikes aren't small enough for proper spike attack like spike dragon and eight Spiker, the spikes are just lines, for proper spike attack.

Smash Attack Wrote:Many ARs have small notches on the attacking points, such as Dragoon G's Eight Spiker. This is referred to as Spike Attack .These small notches -- or spikes -- focus force onto smaller points, creating more pressure and allowing for harder hits.

BB10 Bistool vs. Manta Diver custom
Custom is:
AR: Square Edge
WD: Eight Heavy
SG: Neo Right SG (S-MG Core)
BB: SG Metal Flat 2
Equipment used: BB-10 Attack Type Stadium, Dragoon Winder, standard launcher, and a Customize Grip (not actually sure of the name of it lol)

Manta Diver: 22/30 (22 KO, 0 OS) 73.3%
Bistool: 8/30 (2 KO, 6 OS) 26.7%
Banked hard.
Solid KO's, even a few at low RPM. Just needs a little momentum and Bistool went flyinnnnn.

Something like
AR: Square Edge
WD: 10 Heavy
SG: Neo Right HMC
BB: SG Metal Ball (4 Balls)

against a good attack combo, maybe with a comparison to Smash Turtle (Master Draciel).
