Energy Layer - Xcalius X2

Xcalius X2, known in Japan as Xeno Xcalibur, is an Energy Layer released as part of the Burst System. It debuted with the release of Xcalius X2 Magnum Impact on July 2nd, 2016.

Description
Xcalius X2, like its predecessor Xcalius, is an Attack Type Layer that features a large sword running down the length of the layer, the end of which protrudes from the bottom and acts as the primary contact point making this layer excel at giving both Over Finishes and Burst Finishes and features tall teeth on the Japanese release which allows the Layer to withstand its own recoil. However, due to the exaggerated designs around the sword, Xcalius X2's contact point doesn't protrude as far as Xcalius' meaning that the layer has little advantage over its predecessor.

There are two mold variations of Xcalius X2: the first mold is very fragile with common occurrences of both the handle and the blade of the sword breaking and the paint on the blade chipping off, the second mold features a reinforced handle and an unpainted blade to solve these problems but the blade itself remains unchanged. It is advised to find a second generation mold and launch with caution.

Overall
While Xcalius X2 offers little advantage over its predecessor, it still has comparable attack power and strong teeth and makes a great alternative if Xcalius is not available so long as care is taken to avoid breaking, thus making this Layer a welcome addition to a blader's collection.
