Ring-Tempest - El Diablo :) - Mar. 15, 2021
Description
Tempest is a right spin attack ring that features Awakening blades as its main gimmick. Tempest features two front golden blades as well as two rear upper blades, similar to its predecessor, Ace Dragon, but the two rear upper blades are stickered with rainbow stickers instead of Ace Dragon's terra cotta stickers, a symbol of its iconic move, Rainbow Turbo. As a part of the Dragon line, it features transformability just like Imperial Dragon and Ace Dragon. With Imperial being able to transform from bound mode to awaken mode slowly after each battles, as well as Ace Dragon being able to switch between 3 bases, Ace, Rock and Grand. Tempest Dragon features 4 bound blades. In bound mode, the wings are hidden beneath the ring, the long bound blades are spring loaded, and can be used to perform bound attacks, similar to God Valkyrie's spring blades. To enter awakened mode, the front short bound blades have to be pushed out and will lock in places. When the two front blades have been pushed out, the rear long bound blades will follow along and lock in place with the front short bound blades due to its internal mechanisms. However, the two front bound blades are not connected with each other and can only be pushed out individually. In awakened mode, Tempest Ring features a much more aggressive design compared to Tempest in bound mode. In theory, this was supposed to drastically increased Tempest's attack power. However in real life, the bound blades do not have enough attack power to consistently knock out its opponents, a must have ability for a competitive attack type ring. Plus, the bound blades would be pushed back to bound mode if the front bound blade creates a heavy impact against its opponent, meaning that its attack power is limited. Furthermore, the rear bound blades do not feature designs as aggressive as the front bound blades, and the front bound blades have limited attack power due to the possibility of being pushed back to bound mode.
Despite being advertised as an attack ring, Tempest's real potential lies in stamina and stamina defense hybrid combinations. In bound mode, Tempest has an extremely round shape, the rear long bound blades can somehow nullify attacks due to its spring loading gimmick. Besides, Tempest is more heavier than other rings that excel in stamina and defense combos such as World or Infinite (shield) and Curse, which increases its endurance capabilities and stability. Tempest is also usable in balance type combos, but it excels in stamina combos.
Use in stamina/defense Combinations
Tempest work wonders with Tempest Lucifer/Lucifer II/ /Spriggan/Hyperion II/Solomon/Diabolos Xtend+/Zone'+/Universe 2B/2A. If one prefers to use a single chassis rather than a double chassis, 1D is recommended to minimize burst risks.
Use in Balance Combinations
Tempest can also work with Tempest Lucifer/Lucifer II/ /Spriggan/Hyperion II/Solomon/Diabolos Wave/ Destroy' 2A/ 2B. If one prefers to use a single chassis rather than a double chassis, 1S is recommended since it has more weight than 1D to further enhance the bey's capabilities.
Overall
Tempest features a very round shape and excels in Stamina Combinations. It attack capabilities are limited so it is not recommended to use Tempest in Attack Combinations. Although Tempest features a very thick layer which reduces its burst resistance, and is only limited to right spin rotation only, its weight makes compensates for all that. Even though World can spin both clockwise and counterclockwise, Tempest is heavier than it. If one seeks for a right spin ring that excels in Stamina /Defense/Balance Combinations, Tempest is the best choice at the time of writing.
As such, Tempest is a must have for competitive bladers.
My first ever draft. I would like to hear what you guys think about it :D.
