Description of Dark
First released in the CX-03 Perseus Dark B6-80W Booster as part of the Xtreme Gear Sports Custom Line on March 29th, 2025, Dark is a right-spin Defense type Blade.
Dark has a three sided shape, featuring blades alternating between upward and downward slanting contact points. This design is becoming fairly common in Beyblade X, it is meant to destabilize the opposing Bey, by inflicting Upper attacks (opposing Bey is lifted) and Smash Attacks (the opposing Bey is pushed to the ground) in quick succession.
Additionally, Custom Line Main Blades are significantly taller than regular Blades, exposing the Ratchet a bit more, thus increasing Burst risk. The taller height of the CX Blades also means they are easier to destabilize, a key gameplay aspect of Beyblade X.
While this Main Blade has a three-sided shape, it has a grand total of nine contact points. More specifically, it features six metal contact points and three upward slanting plastic contact points.
Dark three-sided shape results in average stamina, but it can display interesting potential in an anti-attack role. While traditional Defense type Bits such as Needle can be easy to knock-out and destabilize, Dark can benefit from various Attack and Balance type Bits such as Unite, Kick, Taper, Level. These Bits will allow a Dark combination to move in circles while improving knock-out resistance, inflicting counter-attacks to the opposing Beys.
Since Dark may rely on its design to be effective in Battle, it may be interesting to lower the combination as much as possible, using low Assist Blades as well as low Ratchets, such as 9-60, 3-60 etc.
Final Thoughts
While Dark is a decent defense type Main Blade, proving to be very interesting in anti-attack combinations, it is outclassed by top tier competitive Blades such as Aero Pegasus, Wizard Rod, Silver Wolf, or Scorpio Spear for example.
However, it may be one of the most interesting Defense Type Blades available at the time of writing, making it a nice addition for players looking for more defensive options.
