Description of S Gear
First released with the B-188 Astral Spriggan Customize Set as part of the Dynamite Battle system on August 7th, 2021, S Gear is a Perfect Evolution Gear. It is compatible with the Nexus Forge Disc and the integrated Disc of the Almight Performance Tip.
It has two different modes : fixed or free-spinning.
If S Gear is attached facing up, it will be fixed on Nexus. This mode is better for attack type combinations. In this mode, this Gear can act as an additional contact point, adding attack potential to the combo.
If S Gear is attached facing down, it won’t be fixed to Nexus, thus spinning freely around the Forge Disc. This mode is recommended for stamina combinations, and more specifically spin-equalizing combinations, making Nexus + S Gear a top tier component.
It is worth noting that S Gear adds weight to Nexus, making it the heaviest Forge Disc in the DB/BU systems. Therefore, the added weight of S Gear will improve Nexus stamina significantly.
Furthermore, the increased size of Nexus + S Gear can cause a scraping risk, but this risk is negligible.
S Gear and Almight
S Gear can also be a great addition to the Almight Performance Tip, but not the same extent.
While Nexus+S Gear is a top-tier component, Almight will not become competitive even with V-Gear and S Gear assembled.
However, S Gear can add attack potential to this Driver in fixed mode, as well as stamina potential in free-spinning mode, especially in opposite-spin battles.
Final Thoughts on S Gear
S Gear is a great addition to Nexus, improving its weight and overall performances.
Being the first Forge Disc of the Dynamite Battle system, Nexus became outclassed by other options released later in the DB/BU era. Thankfully, S Gear is a real upgrade to Nexus in any combination type.
This Evolution Gear is best used in free spinning mode, making Nexus very competitive in opposite spin stamina combinations.
Therefore, S Gear is a must have in any Beyblade Burst collection.
