Description of Phoenix Rudder
First released with Phoenix Rudder 9-70G from the UX-07 Phoenix Rudder Deck Set as part of the Xtreme Gear Sports Unique Line system on August 10th, 2024, Phoenix Rudder is a right-spin Stamina type Blade.
Unique Line Blades feature resin launcher hooks instead of the regular metal ones seen on Basic Line Models. This is meant to increase Outward Weight Distribution, a trait that significantly improves stamina and attack potential.
Phoenix Rudder has an overall circular shape, although it keeps the three-sided design of its predecessor, Phoenix Wing. The Blade has 6 main contact points divided in three sections ; each section featuring two blades acting as primary contact points. Each section has a shorter blade slanting upward, and a longer blade slanting downward. This design is intended to destabilize the opposing Beyblade.
Furthermore, Phoenix Rudder has a unique perimeter featuring a trapezoidal shape : the upper part of the Blade is wider, featuring all primary contact points made of metal, while the lower part is smaller, featuring nine secondary contact points made of plastic.
These added auxiliary contact points have two functions. These plastic protrusions can increase Destabilization potential, while also mitigating recoil and opposing Beyblade strikes, thus increasing Defense potential. Due to this design, it is worth experimenting with Phoenix Rudder combinations height in order to prioritize contact with these plastic protrusions. Because of the complex design of this Blade, subtle changes in Ratchet or Bit height can lead to different performances and results.
However, weighing between 34 and 35 grams, Phoenix Rudder lacks weight to be used with success in a competitive environment. While the plastic auxiliary contact points may help against Attack type combinations, this Blade stamina potential is heavily outclassed by other options such as Silver Wolf, Wizard Rod or Clock Mirage.
Final Thoughts
Phoenix Rudder has an effective destabilization gimmick, with decent recoil mitigation as well created by the auxiliary plastic contact points. Therefore, players who are not solely focused on competitive gameplay may experiment with this Blade in various combination types with some degree of success.
However, Phoenix Rudder is heavily outclassed for competitive use. As such, it is a nice addition in any Beyblade X Collection.
