Ultimate Gravity Destroyer Attack 130F



Ultimate Gravity Destroyer Attack 130F is a Balance-Type Beyblade despite being called an Attack-type, and is a varient of Gravity Destroyer AD145WD. It does not appear in the anime

Like the original Gravity Destroyer, this bey has the ability to Dual-Spin; Right Spin and Left Spin.

The Hasbro version only comes with a Left Spin Ripcord Launcher, but can still be used on Right Spin Launchers. When it is battling it seems to be light. Also Gravity Destroyer is called Gravity Perceus in Japan cause the name Perceus was the one who killed Medusa.

Face Bolt: Destroyer/Perseus
The Face Bolt depicts "Perseus", one of the 88 constellations in space. In Greek language Perseus means hero. In Greek mythology, Perseus was a hero who slayed the evil Gorgon Medusa and saved the Princess Andromeda from a sea monster sent by the God of the Sea, Poseidon. Despite it representing Perseus, the design showcases the helmet of a Roman gladiator with the name, "Perseus"(Hasbro version says "Destroyer") beneath it in a blurred manner colored white, while tattooed on a translucent aqua green Face Bolt.



Energy Ring: Destroyer Attack
Destroyer is a translucent black with purple highlights. Unlike any other Energy Ring, Destroyer is the only Ring that does not use any plastic designed to block the prongs on Right and Left-Spin Launchers. This allows it to be used with Gravity for Dual-Spin. Also, like the L-Drago Beys, it can be rotated 180 degrees to switch between Defense Mode and Counter Mode. Destroyer has three-protrusions that form a triangular-like shape, with three curved protrusions between it.
 * Weight: 2.7 grams

Attack: 5 - Defense: 2 - Stamina: 0



Fusion Wheel: Gravity
Gravity is colored a metallic black and is a circular Wheel. It features three curved pockets meant for the Destroyer Energy Ring to rest on with two holes on each pocket for a total of six holes. The pockets also form the three sides of a triangle as well. Between the three pockets however, are three jagged protrusions with three red dot stickers, which are meant to emulate the face of Medusa. These jagged protrusions also serve as pockets for the Destroyer Ring to rest on and have a "v-shaped" protrusion as well. In a side-view, Gravity is quite thick with five sharp designs protruding upward around the pockets.
 * Weight: 33.8 grams

Gravity's gimmick is it's Dual-Spin ability, made for Right-Spin and Left-Spin. This is possible as Gravity does not contain the walls that block it from being inserted to an opposite-spin Launcher. The only other Wheel compatible for Dual-Spin is Variares.

Gravity has four Modes, Right-Spin Defense, Right-Spin Counter, Left-Spin Defense, and Left-Spin Counter; but generally as Defense Mode and Counter Mode. In Defense Mode, the three holes are visible and in Counter Mode, the three holes are covered. Performance-wise in Defense Mode, the plastic indents of Destroyer cover the jagged protrusions which increases metal on plastic collisions, creating less recoil. In Counter Mode, the jagged protrusions are visible and Destroyer does not come into any contact; this maximizes Gravity's surface area and increases Smash Attack. In counter mode, it has far more smash then it dose in defense mode and is capable of large knock outs when used with a Rubber Flat.

Although Gravity was labeled as a Defense-Wheel, it suffers from recoil in battle. Recoil is never a plus for Defense so because of this, Gravity has found it's real use in Attack. Although there is no recommended Mode for Gravity, it features high and powerful Smash Attack capability and has become top-tier as a result. Ranking amongst Wheels such as Beat, Variares, and Fang. It should be worth to note that Gravity has more consistent Smash Attack in Right-Spin therefore, Left-Spin should only be used against Defense-customs with rubber-based Tips such as RS and CS.

Attack: 2 - Defense: 5 - Stamina: 0



Spin Track: 130
130 is a Spin Track of high height. The only other tracks with a height of 130 are Shield 130 and Wing Attack 130. It is classified as a mid profile track.
 * Weight: 1.29 grams

Attack: 0 - Defense: 0 - Stamina: 1

Performance Tip: Flat (F)

 * Weight: 1 Gram

The Flat Bottom has a flat tip, which gives it an offensive movement pattern. Nevertheless, it is a good performance tip for those who do not have Hole Flat (HF). It is the Metal Fusion equivalent of Flat Core (HMS) or Flat/SG Flat (Plastic). If you tilt it forward while launching it will have more force grip.

Attack: 5 - Defense: 1 - Stamina: 1
