Basalt Horogium 145WD Draft - Mr. N - Mar. 14, 2011
OK, this is my first draft, so I would love any criticism, and suggestions. The weights are from the "Weights of MFB" thread.
Basalt Horogium 145WD
System: Hybrid Wheel System
Number: BB-104
Type: Defense
Note: Basalt Horogium was released as a starter by TAKARA-TOMY with the Light Launcher 2, while the Sonokong starter was released with the Snipe Launcher.
Basalt Horogium 145WD is the fifth and final Beyblade in the Maximum Series. Its "gimmick" is the "maximum weight" of its Metal Wheel.
Name Change
Basalt Horogium 145WD was released by Hasbro as Twisted Tempo 145WD.
Face: Horogium
Weight: 1.05 Grams
The Face on this Beyblade depicts Horologium, one of the 88 constellations in space. Horologium is the pendulum clock constellation.
Clear Wheel: Horogium
Weight: 2.71 Grams
The Horogium Clear Wheel was released in a grayish-blue color. It is gear shaped, with white Roman Numerals reminiscent of a clock decorating the circumference. However, there is a rectangular gap where "III" is supposed to be and 2 clock hands causing irregular weight distribution. Therefore, this Clear Wheel shouldn't be used in any Defense or Stamina combos. However, Horogium exposes the slopes on the Screw Metal Wheel, and can be used in the Attack custom described below.
Use In Attack Customization
Though Pisces exposes Screw better than Horogium, it can still be used in the Attack custom MF Screw Horogium 90RF.
Metal Wheel: Basalt
Weight: 47.52 Grams
Basalt is a completely circular Wheel, with sets of indents distributed around it's circumference, and is almost cylindrical in it's thickness, part of which overhangs the Track being used in conjunction with it.
Basalt is a member of the Maximum Series as heaviest Metal Wheel ever created; much heavier and thicker than even the infamous Libra. Basalt's circular nature, in combination with it's abnormally heavy weight make it without a doubt, the absolute best Wheel for Defense customizations.
However, all Basalt Wheels have a chunk of metal missing from the interior of the wheel which forms what is called the "Spiral Staircase of Death". The "Spiral Staircase of Death" was meant to neutralize Basalt's incredibly high power slightly by creating an imbalance within the Wheel. While this imbalance does indeed occur, it is not a notable hindrance to it's usefulness. In fact, despite the imbalance/wobbling caused by the "Spiral Staircase of Death", Basalt is also currently one of the best Stamina Wheels available. The imbalance/wobbling caused by the "Spiral Staircase of Death" does contribute slightly to the recoil Basalt suffers, but again, this is not a huge hindrance to it's usefulness.
Use in Defense Customization
Although Basalt has recoil because of the metal missing from the wheel, its sheer weight alone makes Basalt more effective than Earth and even Libra at Defense. Its capabilities can be utilized in the custom MF-H Basalt Bull BD145MB.
Use in Stamina Customization
Basalt may have a bad solo-spin time, but nevertheless, it's Stamina in battle is arguably unmatched. In addition, it's recoil reduces the opponent's rotation speed and can sometimes knock it out. Basalt's Stamina ability can be used to great effect in the custom Basalt Bull AD145WD.
Track: 145
Weight: 1.47 Grams
This track is a regular, non-gimmicked track at the 145 height. It can be used in Stamina customs to great effect to to its tall height, but has been outclassed for wobbler customs by 230. It used to be on par for Stamina customs with DF145, but AD145 offers better Stamina on a 145 height, and 85 offers better Stamina in general. Thus, it's outclassed in Stamina.
Use in Stamina Customization
If AD145, 85, and 230 aren't accessible, 145 still can be used in the custom Burn/Earth Bull 145WD. Though outclassed, it is still decent.
Bottom: Wide Defense
Weight: 0.81
Wide Defense, as its name implies is the widest of the “Defense†series of Bottoms (D, SD, WD, EWD, W²D and PD). This brings numerous advantages, but also some disadvantages when compared to the other “Defense†Bottoms. Many people choose WD over SD because of better balance, and better spin times. Also, because of its massive width that reaches the edge of the Bottom's perimeter, it is able to wobble at a significantly larger angle for a longer period of time than D, SD, or PD, and at a much lower spin rate. This can be advantageous in many battles, particularly those between two Stamina types when they are about to topple over; however, if you happen to have a weaker shot than your opponent who is using something such as Burn Bull AD145SD, WDs low spin rate towards the end of the battle will make it extremely easy for the opponent to knock it completely over. This low spin rate towards the end of the battle is created because in the process of wobbling at such a large angle, more friction is made with the stadium floor, thus decreasing its Stamina. This is all avoidable however if your shot is at least as powerful as your opponent, as the extra time it is able to spin on an angle will allow you to narrowly outspin your D or SD based opponent.
Use in Stamina Customization
WD is arguably the best of the "Defense" series, and can be used in the custom MF Hell Kerbecs BD145WD. This defeats other Stamina wheels like Burn and Earth with ease, but struggles against MF-H Basalt Bull 230CS.
Other Versions
Random Booster Volume 7 - Vulcan Horogium BD145RS
Overall
Basalt Horogium 145WD contains two top-tier parts that every Blader needs to play at a high level competitively; Basalt and WD. WD is one of the best Stamina Bottoms available, and Basalt, with it's astronomical weight is indisputably the best Defense Wheel to date. Horogium, while a non-essential part, does have use as a good alternative to Pisces for exposing Screw's slopes. Every Blader should own at least one of this Beyblade.
This is my first Beywiki draft so please give me lots of criticism! I'm waiting...

i thought basalt wheel had "stairs" in the metal causing balance issues.and rubber sharp is the best defence tip but its close.

I don't think it's really "stairs". I just think it's slowly going down with bumps
(like stairs turned 45 degrees), and this article isn't about RS.

RE: Basalt Horogium 145WD Draft - BeyPhilosopher - Mar. 14, 2011
The Basalt section could have been worded better, and is slightly repetitive.
"chunk of metal missing"
"best Defense wheels available"
"hindering its Defense by adding some recoil."
"Nevertheless, the weight can't be ignored, and can be used in the Defense custom"
"its sheer weight alone makes Basalt better than Earth and arguably even Libra at Defense."
"it does much better against Attack types than its Earth counterpart.

Try to combine certain sentences, to make a "flow". You know, clear topic sentence type things. The "chunk of metal missing" and the "hindering its defense by adding some recoil" could've been combined to one sentence, with the "Nevertheless the wight...." sentence fining it off. That's an example.

RE: Basalt Horogium 145WD Draft - RustyXD - Mar. 14, 2011
dude its a defence type
RE: Basalt Horogium 145WD Draft - Ultra - Mar. 14, 2011
With a 145WD? Nope. Also the takara rating doesn't really have much value.
RE: Basalt Horogium 145WD Draft - basaltkerbecs99 - Mar. 14, 2011
is he realy stamina type i thought that he was defense type
RE: Basalt Horogium 145WD Draft - Ultra - Mar. 14, 2011
Did you even read what I said my post right above yours? The type by takara normally doesn't mean much. Basalt has use in defence and stamina.
RE: Basalt Horogium 145WD Draft - Synth - Mar. 14, 2011
its common sense that Basalt is defense type.why did it have a heavy body and a bottom for defense if it its stamina?
RE: Basalt Horogium 145WD Draft - TylerPT - Mar. 14, 2011
on the box, it says defense, on a shield. so change stamina type to a defense type
RE: Basalt Horogium 145WD Draft - Kai-V - Mar. 14, 2011
WD is not for Defense though, what are you talking about ?
Anyway, I think you should mention the "Spiral Staircase of Death" or whatever CoroCoro said about the Basalt Metal Wheel. Also, there are a lot of "its" mistakes ...

i already said the staircase in the metal.
RE: Basalt Horogium 145WD Draft - Red Mockingbird - Mar. 15, 2011
"Basalt is cylindrical, with little ridges on the perimeter."
Perimeter only applies to an area.
You was meant to use circumference.
Although it has been mentioned before you really could've worded so it doesn't sound like a ten year old wrote it.
Unless you are ten, then you are excused.
RE: Basalt Horogium 145WD Draft - Mr. N - Mar. 15, 2011

He has not edited it yet anyway and the real expression that should be used is "Spiral Staircase of Death", not just "stairs in the metal" ...

So what?
I know a lot about it, and I have seen yours. The only new parts are Basalt and Horogium and they're pretty easy to write. If I have to own it even though I have a decent article, then I will just let the moderators close it, and rewrite it when I get it in the mail. Don't just try to steal the job of writing the article from me by having someone close this.

Hey, in Ask a Q get A, I asked a Q related to Basalt, and I was told it has use in stamina customization..... Therefore, its better as a Stamina wheel than a Defense wheel.... I think the answer by the person was quite confident... So, I request you to find something related....

People got similar results in the "Basalt Horogium Testing." thread, and I wanted to include it, but I think more testing needs to be conducted. I'll do some when my Basalt Horogium comes in the mail.
Also, I have 1 question. Would MF-H Basalt Bull 230CS be a Defense Type or a Stamina Type?
