Description of Whale Wave


First released with the BX-36 Random Booster Whale Wave Select as part of the Xtreme Gear Sports Basic Line system on September 14th, 2024, Whale Wave is a right-spin Balance type Blade.

Whale Whave has a five-sided shape with an agressive and complex design. Each main contact point is sloping downward, with an upper section followed by a lower section, thus resulting in reality in 10 contact points.

This design has multiple consequences : with 10 contact points, this Blade creates Barrage attacks. Barrage attacks are consecutive hits inflicted in quick succession, increasing Burst attack potential.

Furthermore, with all 5 contact points sloping downward, Whale Wave also creates “Smash Attacks” according to the Japanese definition, also known as “Force Smash Attacks” in the United States of America. Smash Attacks are pushing the opposing Beyblade down, which can result in a sudden destabilization.

Moreover, destabilization potential is further enhanced by the quick succession of upper and lower contact points.

Therefore, due to its quite heavy weight and agressive design, Whale Whave has good attack potential, able to destabilize, knock-out and Burst many Beyblade X Blades.

However, this Blade is fairly tall when compared to most Blades from the Basic and Unique Lines. The combination of a tall height and the complex shape of Whale Wave perimeter result in poor to average stamina. Additionally, the raised contact points are exposing the Ratchet, increasing Burst risk.

Finally, despite its heavy weight, the recoil-laden nature of this Blade can cause a lot of accidental/random wins and losses, making it a risky option for competitive use.

While its unpredictable nature can make it frustrating, some players will enjoy this Blade nonetheless. Whale Wave has a strong, unique identity, and it can be used in various combinations types with some degree of success.

Final Thoughts


The unique design of Whale Wave make it a unique, interesting, yet unpredictable and risky Blade. While it is officially labelled as a Balance type Blade, this model was originally supposed to be labelled as an Attack type, featuring high recoil Barrage and Smash Attacks.

Therefore, this Blade cannot be considered as a must have for competitive players, but it can be a great addition in any Beyblade X collection.
