Zionson the main comments I have are that while you describe a lot about the parts and uses you don't actually say how useful they are which is really important. Also you need an attack combo for the Phoenic wheel and a defence combo or other combo for E230. Oh and an overall section is needed too

Should this be done for this article as well? Just include the other "Phoenics"? Apologies if I'm wrong on this.

(Jul. 09, 2012  2:22 AM)zionson Wrote: Stone Face: Phoenic
Weight: 1.2 grams
The black Stone Face depicts a stylized form of the Phoenix, a mythical creature in line with the theme of Zero-G. It is the first commercially available Stone Face in the Zero-G series to have its Mark printed on as opposed to only being a sticker.

Chrome Wheel: Phoenic
Weight: 29.8 grams
The Phoenic Chrome Wheel has three wings formed of big, smoothed feathers pointing towards the left, therefore contrary to its spin direction. Engraved claws appear to clutch the orb from the Crystal Wheel that protrudes through Phoenic, while the heads of the two other wings represent the beaks of birds, essentially. The relief on this Chrome Wheel isn't overly complicated: in fact, its sides are mostly vertical, straight continuations of the feathers on the top, creating a jagged pattern meant for Attack.

Phoenic provides a lot of contact points and great Smash (Attack ?) potential because of its protrusions, but, by itself, it is arguably too light to be competitive. When paired with the Thief Crystal Wheel, all of Phoenic's contact points are exposed fully but only combine for a total weight of 35.1 grams, which is a disadvantage when compared to top-tier Attack Metal Wheels such as Flash (45.6 grams) and Blitz (43.72 grams).

When put into Synchrom with another Phoenic Chrome Wheel, most of the large protrusions become covered up but expose tiny contact points that create impressive Smash (Attack ?) when delivered with its combined weight of nearly 60 grams. However, these small contact points wear down considerably fast because it absorbs the brunt of the impact as opposed to the larger feather protrusions. It is currently the most aggressively designed Chrome Wheel, being less circular than most other Chrome Wheels. Phoenic is currently the best Attack Chrome Wheel in the Zero-G series, displaying powerful Smash Attack comparable to top-tier Attack Metal Wheels when placed into Synchrom with another Phoenic. Its superior weight also lends it an advantage in head-to-head match-ups against other non-Zero-G Attack Metal Wheels. (So, as an Attack Chrome Wheel, it does great against Flash and VariAres ? Perhaps elaborate on that.)

Crystal Wheel: Thief
Weight: 5.3 grams
Thief is shaped in an odd way with some longer parts but also numerous angular protrusions and appears to complement Phoenic best among other Chrome Wheels. It has the fire element symbol on its crystal and is colored yellow in its release with Thief Phoenic E230GCF. A red version of Thief comes with Thief Saramanda 230WB, available in the same Random Booster Volume. As with most Crystal Wheels, Thief is an inferior partner for any Chrome Wheel due to its weight. Although its shape best reveals all of Phoenic's smash points, it is an inferior choice to another Phoenic or any other Chrome Wheel.

Track: Elevator 230
Weight: 7.4 grams
E230 is a mechanical upgrade to the regular 230 Track. Its core is modified to accomodate, along its whole height, the ascent and descent of a free-moving disk, hence the term "elevator". This disk however does not freely rotate around the Track like ED145, and its vertical position cannot be fixed. E230 works almost essentially for the Zero-G Stadiums, because its gimmick requires a lot of movements up and down to function well. As the Beyblade comes down, E230 comes in contact with the sides of the stadium, and this contact is maintained all the way to the bottom, which theoretically allows the Combination to keep its balance despite the erratic movements of the Zero-G Stadiums. This decreases its risks of stumbling over, which is useful since it isn't a rare occurence in those stadiums.

E230's disk can be flipped over to create a sort of "Boost Mode" similar to BD145. This Mode, although it does not hold an official name, is legal. The disk can be placed in such a way that it either lies fairly low on the Track, or slightly elevated around the middle. In the latter configuration, the disk moves up and down much less than in the former, and comes much closer to the Metal Wheel or Chrome Wheel placed onto it. When used in a conventional environment such as the [[BeyStadium Attack Type (MFB)|Beystadium Attack Type]], E230's disk provides additional defense compared to a 230 track. Its wide diameter, equivalent to BD145's disk, can absorb hits from low- to mid-height Attackers. Despite this, it is not a direct upgrade to 230 because it performs significantly different aerodynamically and balance-wise. It is considered to be a top-tier Defense Track because of its height and the defensive nature of the disk, which can deflect attacks that a normal 230 Track cannot. It's also relatively heavy, which always helps promote good Defense.

Bottom: Gear Circle Flat
Weight: 2.5 grams
As an upgraded version of Circle Flat, GCF is a Flat Bottom with a slightly larger tip, mounted by a huge disk. Instead of its circumference being smooth like CF, the edges of the disk have ridges that evoke the feel of a mechanical gear. This gimmick is meant to embrace the curve of the Zero-G stadiums and also create less smooth, more erratic movement patterns around the stadium for the Beyblade using GCF. The flat portion of the tip is wide, comparable to an XF, creating extremely fast and aggressive movement. GCF causes significant floor scrape regardless of the BeyStadium used. In a Zero-G Stadium, the wide disk of GCF helps reduce the instance of exiting through a pocket, making it a superior choice of Bottom compared to other Flat Bottoms.

Overall
Aside from its negligible Crystal Wheel and light Face, Thief Phoenic E230GCF is composed of excellent parts that can be used in various combos in both BB-10 and Zero-G environments. While its rarity can be somewhat prohibitive to getting purchased (I understand what 'procurement' means, but others might find it way too rich. Verify my correction though.), there is currently only one other way to obtain E230: through Samurai Saramanda E230ES, which is also a rare Beyblade from Zero-G Random Booster Vol. 1 Thief Phoenic E230GCF. All serious competitive players should own this Beyblade.

When used as the top Chrome Wheel of a Synchrom:
Phoenic's many well defined contact points can add Smash Attack to any Synchrom. However, these contact points are easily covered by most other Chrome Wheels which reduces the chance these points can connect with the opponent. Because of this, it is important to strategically pick a track that places Phoenic as the main contact point for your opponent.

When used as the bottom Chrome Wheel of a Synchrom:
Again, Phoenic will still provide amazing smash if it is the main contact point for your opponent. It also seems to perform great force smash, especially after some of its side contact points start turning up from wear. As a side note, there is a small synergy that E230(normal mode) has with Phoenic when it is on the bottom of a Synchrom that helps counter the problem of Phoenic’s contact points being so easily covered. In an aggressive “wobbler” setup, E230’s disk will sometimes scoop the opponent up into Phoenic, which will actually pinch the opponent and send it flying.

When Synchromed with Itself:
When put into Synchrom with another Phoenic Chrome Wheel, most of the large protrusions become covered up but expose tiny contact points that create impressive Smash Attack when delivered with its combined weight of nearly 60 grams. However, these small contact points wear down considerably fast because it absorbs the brunt of the impact as opposed to the larger feather protrusions. It is currently the most aggressively designed Chrome Wheel, being less circular than most other Chrome Wheels. With the exception of Begirados, Phoenic is currently the best Attack Chrome Wheel in the Zero-G series, displaying powerful Smash Attack comparable to top-tier Attack Metal Wheels when placed into Synchrom with another Phoenic. Its superior weight also lends it an advantage in head-to-head match-ups against other non-Zero-G Attack Metal Wheels.

Overall
Phoenic is an excellent way to add a good amount of attack to any Synchrom, assuming that its contact points are able to connect with the opponent. Aside from its negligible Crystal Wheel and light Face, Thief Phoenic E230GCF is composed of excellent parts that can be used in various combos in both BB-10 and Zero-G environments. All serious competitive players should own this Beyblade.
