Nightmare Rex UW145EWD

Face: Metal Face Bolt 2 - Feather
Weight: 1.21 grams.
Metal Face Bolt 2-Feather or a MF-F, which is slightly heavier than a normal Face Bolt.This facebolt is actually two pieces, the Core, the center that screws into the Beyblade, and the Plate, the hexagonal ring around the Core. The Core and the Plate have both Metal and Clear versions that are interchangeable with each other. By using different combinations of Cores and Plates, it is possible to change the weight and weight distribution of the Face.

Clear Wheel: Rex
Weight: 2.73 grams
It's red, With the designs Tyrannosaurus Rex's head, neck, and tail on the Clear Wheel two sides.Rex has seen no use in Attack Customizations as it is vary jagged. It's light and has been outclassed by more capable Clear Wheels such as [color=#FF0000]Orion, Ionis, and Pisces. It is heavily outclassed. Rex has no use in today's meta-game. Rex is not and never will be a top-tier part.

Wheel: Nightmare
Weight: 32.82 grams
Nightmare has three wings similar to Cosmic (non-4D version). Nightmare is useless in attack due to its recoil and light weight. It has been outclassed by various synchromes and metal wheels and therefore has no use in today's meta-game. It is not a top-tier part.

Track: Upper Wing 145
Weight:3.6 grams
This Track features three large wings, which start low down on the Track and gradually rise, ending in a flat contact point. This wing structure can be removed and flipped over, changing its orientation both horizontally and vertically to suit either offensive or defensive purposes. While the rounded edges of the wings are aligned in the spin direction, the Track's intended purpose, as its name suggests, is to provide Upper Attack: however, the effect is negligible as the Track is unlikely to make significant contact with other Beys due to its relatively low placement underneath the Wheel. When flipped over, the sharper contact points can provide Smash Attack, but again, their low placement, exacerbated by the way the wings now curve downwards, means that the potential for Smash Attack is compromised heavily.

The gimmick of this Track is the ability to change from Attack to Defense mode by switching the direction of the wings, similar to SW145. While it is in Attack mode, the wings' slopes are angled upwards, facing clockwise, and in Defense mode it is angled downwards, facing anti-clockwise.

The wings, orientated so that the rounded edges are aligned with the spin direction, can be used for defensive purposes in deflecting opponent Beys. There are superior Tracks for this purpose however, such as BD145.

Bottom: Eternal Wide Defense
Weight:1.2 grams
EWD is part of a series of existing Bottoms prefixed with Eternal, featuring bearing-based tips. EWD, as its name suggests, is a bearing-implemented version of WD. It features a similar wide shape, but the pointy tip of the Bottom is replaced by a free-spinning sharp piece. This rotates freely, and increases the balance and spin-retention of the Bottom. Unlike ES, the Bottom does not suffer from balance issues because of its wide shape, which allows it many of the same survival capabilities as WD at low spin velocities. Friction on this part seems to be a problem for it. As EWD wears down, it loses a lot of its stamina capabilities and wearing down affects its performance a lot. Since it is only one bearing, there is still a considerable amount of friction between the bearing and the tip, and paired together, the effects are hardly negligible in comparison to WD. WD usually overshadows EWD because of more availability due to a more widespread release, and EWD has more cons than pros when compared. The grinding between the bearing and the tip often can lead to both increased stamina and decreased stamina if too much grinding is produced. This Bottom is also more useful in mid-height customizations, whereas WD is prefered for low combos and SD and D on higher ones. As such, mid-height Beyblades are generally not prefered in battles due to their average performance and their imbalance caused by a slightly off center of gravity. However, EWD has found a very special place in Spin Stealing combinations, providing the few more rotations to a Beyblade needed to outspin an opponent in the last few seconds of a match. It therefore goes beyond WD in that domain, but the friction between its components can still render the BeyBattle a draw instead of surviving the opposing Beyblade. Furthermore, like with every Bottom of the D series, EWD remains rather easy to knock out with any proper Attack combination.

Around the time of its release, EWD was paired with Meteo L-Drago and CH120 for a powerful Spin Stealing customization, however, with the appearance of the 4D System and then Zero-G, Meteo L-Drago's light weight was inefficient to keep winning against new top-tier combos.
Wearing of EWD

EWD Bottoms in general are vulnerable to wearing that renders them illegal and alters their performance, transforming them into more aggressive tips, however Hasbro has been found to release even more fragile EWDs. These widespread versions wear down and become rounder considerably more quickly than both TAKARA-TOMY's and SonoKong's releases. It is therefore preferable to purchase more of the latter companies' Killer Beafowl UW145EWD or Nightmare Rex UW145EWD to ensure a longer, legal performance.

[color=#FF0000]Use in spin stealing Customizations

EWD is useful in the Spin stealing combo Revizer Dragooon SA165EWD. Because of it's weight it can transfer more energy from the opponent beyblade easily and it has higher defense than Meteo L-Drago CH120EWD.

Use in Stamina customization

EWD's Spin-Stealing abilities convey to the combination Duo Cancer/Cygnus/Aquario SA165/W145EWD the extra spin required to outlast other Beyblades in Zero-G and BB-10 stadiums.

Nightmare Rex SW145SD

Overall:
It has little top tier parts, however, It does have one of the best stamina tips in beyblade history, EWD which is an extremely effective alternative to WD for Stamina customizations, as well as procuring its own impressive Spin-Stealing processes. Due to the wear of EWD, every Blader should own multiples of this Beyblade.
