Dark Wolf DF145FS

Dark Wolf DF145FS is a Balance Type Beyblade that appears in the Anime and Manga series, Beyblade: Metal Fusion. It is owned by Doji.

Face Bolt: Wolf
The face on this Beyblade depicts Lupus, the Wolf, one of the 88 constellations in space.

Energy Ring: Wolf
The edges of the Clear Wheel consists of 4 wolfs, one in each quarter of the energy ring, representing the body form of a wolf. This increases the stamina of the bey. It also makes the bey more stable. This energy ring is similar to the Pegasus ring in design but outclasses it in stamina, defense, and balance. Hasbro has recolored Wolf three times. Wolf is to be used if Bull, Aquario and Kerbecs is not available in Defense customizations.
 * Weight: 3.1 grams

Fusion Wheel: Dark
Dark has twelve spikes facing the clockwise direction. These protrusions are closely packed together with minimal space between each, resulting in an overall round shape. This shape hinders the Metal Wheel in two ways, as its protrusions are not pronounced enough to provide sufficient Smash Attack, while the perimeter is interrupted too frequently for sufficient Stamina. Still, Dark shows some decent defense and can be used competitively (to a small extent) this way but Twisted(Basalt) & Earth both outclass it.
 * Weight: 31.4

Spin Track: Down Force 145 (DF145)

 * Weight: 3.0 grams

DF145 has four upward wings protruding from the top of the Track, which aside from giving it extra weight, are meant to push air up, increasing stamina. It is outclassed by UW145 It is now outclassed for use in raping combinations, instead, tracks such as AD145, 85, 100, 90, and even 145 are used. DF145's gimmick is negligible. The wings aren't protuding out far enough to create the actual effect it should.

Stamina Customization:Burn/Earth/Basalt(Twisted) Bull/Aquario/Cancer/Kerbecs DF145SD/D/WD/EWD/SWD

Note:DF145 should only be used if AD145 or UW145 not available.

Performance Tip: FS (Flat Spike)

 * Weight: 0.6 grams



FS features a flat tip with a smaller, sharp tip in the center. As a result, when launched at a straight angle, the Beyblade spins on this sharp tip, with very little movement. However, when tilted, either from the contact of an opposing Beyblade or from the launch, the Bottom moves in an offensive pattern. However, it suffers from the same problems as other Balance Bottoms, in that the two qualities are compromised, resulting in mediocre performance in both fields. After being used a lot, the sharp part becomes rounder. However, it´s a good tip if you are looking for a mix of stamina and attack.

Overall:
As Dark is outclassed by Basalt, Earth, Burn and even Grand. As for DF145, it's gimmick is again, negligible. And FS is outclassed by SF, SD and D.
