Ring - Infinite (Takara Tomy) - p0l1w4g06 - Sep. 24, 2021
Infinite (インフィニット, Infinitto) is a Ring released by Takara Tomy as part of the Burst System as well as the Superking Layer System. It debuted in Japan with the release of the B-173 Random Booster Vol. 22 on October 24th, 2020.
==Description==
Infinite, like its predecessor Union, is a Balance type Layer Base with the perimeter is made up of large blades as the primary points of contact, two of which are molded in the shape of swords. Infinite's gimmick is its ability to accomodate a Sword and Shield attachement to alter its performance.
Without any attachments, Infinite is one of the lightest rings for right spin, weighing even lighter than Variant, making it almost useless in competitive play, even with a Double Chassis.
The Sword mode gives Infinite 4 blades that curve upward, akin to a right spin Zwei and a 4 bladed Brave. In theory the blades are meant for delivering powerful attacks, but the blades are too small and light to deliver smash attacks and too angled upwards to perform upper attacks.
The Shield Mode gives it a rounder perimeter, but is still rather jagged, though not to the extent of MFB's Basalt wheel. These blades are meant to deliver continuous hits to foes, but they are too small to do so. That said, the round shape still offers decent defense potential. Of the 2 modes, the Shield setting performs better.
The 2 modes are also compatible with 2B, with Sword locking 2B's blades and Shield giving it free spin properties. Even still, this makes Shield the better of the 2 due to the free spin contact on 2B being able to aid in life after death a la Hurricane.
==Use in Stamina/Defense combinations==
If Tempest in unavailable, Infinite can be used in the combination Infinite(Shield) Lucifer I/Lucifer II/Spriggan/Hyperion II/Solomon/Diabolos Xtend+/Zone'+Z/Universe 2B/2A. The round shape of the Shield allows it to retain more stamina as the weight on the chip increases its knocout resistance, allowing the drivers to outspin the opponent, boosted by 2B/2A's life after death potential.
==Use in Balance combinations==
Infinite Shield Lucifer I/Lucifer II/Spriggan/Hyperion II/Solomon/Diabolos Wave 2A/2B can also be used for balance combos. Like the Defense combo above, it has very good anti knockout capabilities and stamina.
==Overall==
Infinite on its own if heavily outclassed by its light weight, while the sword attachment is not very useful as it does not have the same power as Brave. While the Shield Mode is preferred, tempest should be used due to its heavier weight.
As such, Infinite is not a must have but is a welcome addition to any collection.

A comparison to Brave I think would be more appropriate, since it's strange to compare a left-spin and Right-spin Attack ring.
You might also want to mention how Infinite Shield can use 2B's free-spinning mode, while Sword has to use the fixed mode
