While it is predominantly an attack type tip, HF is more stamina orientated even than MF so, while not the traditional balance type, this release does make some sense.
Also note that HF's main weakness is complete lack of grip, making it highly recoily and terrible for attack but that more recoil means less layer movement on collision, potentially giving it burst defense akin to a stamina type tip aswell without having to stay in the centre and take hits like one.
Like many of the other MFB rereleases, the new mechanic does change up the usefulness of the part somewhat, in this case perhaps suggesting that stallers are the new stamina type.

Oh and the layer is clearly defense type, meaning that the prepackaged combo is not one set typing.

Anyhow. I hope that Neptune has good endurance, as that's what I feel it could be good at.

This is why I haven't been disappointed by a single Burst release yet. I spend maybe a minute or two guessing what it could be and then just wait till it comes out to see what it actually is. No hype, no intense theorizing. That way, the reaction to the release isn't, "Aww," it's just, "OK."

That said, Neptune looks soooo nice. The color of the Layer with the color of the driver makes it look like a volcanic fissure in the ocean. Burst is not letting up on these rad designs!
