Quote:Duo Eclipse is an Energy Layer released as part of the Burst System, as well as the God Layer System. It debuted with the release of the B-102 Booster Duo Eclipse 7Star Unite on February 2018.

==Description==
Duo Eclipse is a Balance type energy layer that features a somewhat square shaped design. On the left side there is the half portion of Duo Apollos, that features multiple notches. On the right side there is the half portion of Duo Artemis, that features two thick blades, akin to Luinor L2 or a symmetrical Minoboros. As with all other Switch-Strike/God Layers, Duo Eclipse features a gimmick: The left side of the layer has the half portion of Duo Apollos, meant to represent the sun, the right side features the half portion of Duo Artemis, meant to represent the moon, all together to represent Duo Eclipse's namesake: an eclipse.

The left side creates a low-recoil surface which is meant to deflect attacks, while the right side creates a high recoil design due to the blades, meant to give Duo Eclipse a mix between attack and defense, akin to Gaianon G2. However, just like Gaianon G2 and other balance type parts, this leads to mediocre performance in both categories.

The multiple notches on the left layer creates too much recoil to be used in defense/stamina combinations, while the blades on the right layer creates too little recoil for attack combos, due to the counterclockwise direction and how compact they are. The square shape of the layer also severely increases the burst risk of the combination that utilizes Duo Eclipse.

Duo Eclipse features three teeth of a medium height, although such a feature would imply that the layer is able to withstand its own recoil, the low weight of the layer leads to its downfall. Although Duo Eclipse is heavier than the remastered versions of the Plastic Gen beyblades, the light weight and relatively thin shape of the layer creates low inertia, making a combination using Duo Eclipse incredibly prone to bursting.

==Overall==
Duo Eclipse has too high recoil for defense and stamina combos, too little recoil for attack, light weight, somewhat weak teeth, and weak burst resistance, rendering it outclassed by layers like Legend Spriggan and Sieg Xcalibur for attack, Spriggan Requiem and Maximum Garuda for defense, Guardian Kerbeus and Deep Chaos for stamina, and Galaxy Zeus for balance. As such, Duo Eclipse is recommended for collection purposes only.

Typo on portion.
Also I thought G2 had good defense for dual layers?

==Description==
Duo Eclipse is a Balance type Energy Layer that is the result of the combination of Duo Apollos and Duo Artemis via the two Layers' shared Switch-Strike/God Layer gimmick. The left side of the Layer features the Duo Apollos half with multiple notches on each side, akin to Draciel Shield and the right side features the Duo Artemis half with two blades akin to Minoboros. The combination of Duo Apollos, the sun, and Duo Artemis, the moon, represent the Layer's namesake: an eclipse.

The hybrid design of Duo Eclipse is meant to create a mixed performance between Defense and Attack, however, like most Balance Type parts, this leads to mediocre performance in both categories. While the Duo Artemis portion's blades have a shape well suited for Attack, the pointed design of the Duo Apollos portion is ill-suited for Defense or Stamina and instead functions akin to a three pointed Xcalius. While the aggressiveness of the hybrid design and the strong teeth may imply high Attack potential, Duo Eclipse is very lightweight for a Switch-Strike/God Layer due to its thinness and as such possesses a significant self-Burst risk as the light weight creates low inertia.

==Overall==
While Duo Eclipse has strong teeth, its shape is simply too aggressive and its weight is too light to be effective, a factor that is exacerbated through the use of heavy Layers in the current metagame such as Sieg Xcalibur.

As such, Duo Eclipse is recommended for collection purposes only.
