Description of Dot
First released with Black Shell 4-60D in the BX-35 Random Booster Vol. 4 as part of the Xtreme Gear Sports Custom Line on on July 13th, 2024, Dot (or D) is a Defense type Bit.
Dot is similar to Needle in shape and height, but its tip is covered with small dots. The added dots increase the levels of friction, resulting in increased mobility and aggressiveness at the cost of stamina.
When launched hard, a D combination will move in circles, creating couter-attack opportunities. However, its behavior may feel erratic and unpredictable at times, no matter which launching technique is used. Additionally, a hard flat launch may be enough to reach the X-Line, allowing players to create Xtreme Dash Attacks, but also resulting in more stamina losses.
Over the course of time, stability became one of the most important aspects of Beyblade X gameplay mechanics. As a result, Defense type Bits are not used at a competitive level anymore, due to their pointy tips and their lack of stability. Furthermore, the small size of Defense type tips also result in a lower knock-out resistance.
While Dot may in theory increase knock-out resistance thanks to its higher levels of friction, its lack of stamina and stability make it very difficult to use in any type of match-up. It may suffer from its lack of stamina against Stamina and Defense type combinations, and it may be easily destabilized or knocked-out by Attack and Balance type combos.
However, its behavior can make it fun to play and experiment with, providing a different gameplay in the Defense type options.
Final Thoughts
This Bit can be both fun and frustrating to play with, due to its unpredictable behavior and lack of stamina. However, its overall performances make it outclassed by other Defense type Bits, such as Wedge, or Needle and High Needle.
Therefore, Dot is a nice addition for Beyblade X collectors, but it may not be the preferred option for competitive players.
