Armor - 3 - p0l1w4g06 - Mar. 14, 2022
3 (スリー, Surī) is an Armor released by Takara Tomy as part of the Burst System as well as the Dynamite Battle Layer System. It debuted in Japan with the release of the B-185 Booster Vanish Fafnir Tapered Kick-3 on May 29th, 2021.
==Description==
3, as implied by the name, is a 3 bladed armor, vaguely resembling the metal in the center of Air Knight. Like most armors, it can support the high and low modes of a Dynamite Battle Layer.
Theoretically, this design is supposed to create an off center attack, while this does happen, in truth 3 is better suited for 3 sided Blades such as Savior due to the Triple-like synergy, where it can be used to focus weight on the primary contacts for increased power or towards the gaps in between each blade for better Balance. Unfortunately, 3's mandatory usage with these type of blades makes it less flexible than other armors such as 0, though it makes up for it with superb stamina thanks to its balanced design.
==Use in Attack Combinations==
3 can be used in the Attack Combination Savior/Ultimate Belial 2/Perseus/Spriggan Nexus+S/Giga/Over Xtreme'/Quick'/Jolt'-3. The 3 armor focuses weight on the exterior of Savior/Ultimate, increasing their high Attack Power, bolstered by the heavy weight of the aforementioned discs and the Perseus DB Core, while said Cores strong teeth (and Belial 2's Burst Stopper/Perseus' Metal) along with the dash lock can allow the combination to handle the high recoil experienced.
==Overall==
===Standard===
3's stamina and synergy with 3 sided blades, most notably Savior/Ultimate, makes it one of the best armors for in the metagame, though its limited usage means a blader is better of with 0/2/10 for versatility if they are not intending to use such blades.
As such, 3 is not a must have but is a worthy addition to any blader's collection.
(Qn: Does 3 on Vanish make it bad for spin stealing? Is 9>3?)
