Changes: Archer Griffin C145S

Revision as of 01:41, 6 December 2018

Archer Griffin C145S (アーチャーグリフC145S, Āchā Gurifu C145S) is a Balance-Type Beyblade released as part of the Zero-G System. It was released in Japan on June 23rd, 2012 as Synchrom Booster, with a Metal Stone Face. It was later released as a standalone starter in western countries by Hasbro.

Metal Stone Face

Weight: 5.5 grams

The sticker on Archer Gryph's Metal Stone Faces illustrates the eagle part of a Griffin/Gryphon/Griffon. In the global release by Hasbro, the Metal Stone Face was replaced by a simple Shogun Steel plastic Face Bolt.

Element Wheel: Archer

Main article: Element Wheel - Archer

Archer has large curves from a bow protruding around one half of its circumference, with some fancy string details engraved in the rest of the design, notably where the crystal is located. Like any other Crystal Wheel, Archer is however too light to be effective versus all Synchrom customizations as well as most 4D combinations.

Warrior Wheel: Griffin

Main article: Warrior Wheel - Griffin

Gryph consists of eight distinct sections, similar in shape to those of the Leone Metal Wheel. Four of Gryph's protrusions have spikes curved in a right-spin direction, and the other half of the sections mostly consists of straight boulders, like on Bakushin. One of the latter sections is however in the shape of an eagle head viewed from a profile perspective, with the orb from the Crystal Wheel showing on the left border of the head. Opposite of the eagle head, Gryph has one main contact point that helps to provide Force Smash, when used as a Synchrom Bottom Wheel; Upper Smash, as a Synchrom Top Wheel.

Spin Track: Claw 145 (C145)

Main article: Spin Track - C145

Weight:	3.2 grams	Maximum Width:	34.0 mm	Minimum Width:	27.0 mm	Full Height:	14.50 mm	Claws & Platform Height:	7.8 mm

C145 has three wings which extend outwards, each separately joined onto the underside of the Spin Track. These are free moving, and hence when the Beyblade is launched, these point outwards due to spin velocity. Their free moving nature make them very effective for defensive purposes, as they are able to withstand low hits to the Spin Track without significant spin loss. Furthermore, the Spin Track is significantly heavier than non-gimmicked Tracks such as 145, providing extra weight essential for Defense. The Spin Track subsequently used to be an essential part for Defense customizations. However, with the advent of the Maximum Series, C145 became outclassed especially by the much heavier BD145, which also offers much more protection to the underside. better Attack and defense parts from the 4D era and beyond also render C145 useless completely.

Performance Tip: Spike (S)

Main article: Performance Tip - Spike

Spike (S), or Sharp, is a pointed tip that allows for very little friction between the tip and the stadium surface, which helps prevent the loss of spin velocity. However, due to the fine nature of the tip, it has little movement and is easily knocked off balance, and hence is outclassed by alternatives such as Defense (D).

Other Versions

Gryph Dragooon SA165WSF Coro Dra Model - Special CoroCoro Lottery Campaign, only 10 were available (Dark Dragooon, Track and Bottom, red Gryph)
Pirates Gryph 160CF - BBG-17 Random Booster Vol. 2 Archer Gargole SA165WSF (Purple stickers)
Shinobi Gryph WD145TB - BBG-23 Random Booster Vol. 3 Bandid Genbull F230TB (Pink and purple stickers)
Gryph Girago WA130HF - BBG-24 Ultimate Synchrom DX Set Attack & Balance Type (Red, blue and purple stickers)

Overall

Gryph is an excellent replacement in Attack combos, and has great use in Balance customs as well. While Archer, C145, and S have no competitive use, Archer Gryph also includes a Metal Stone Face, which is useful for all kinds of customization. This, combined with the potential of the Gryph Chrome Wheel, means all Bladers should own multiples of this Beyblade.

Trivia

This Beyblade and Flame Sagittario C145S have a lot in common. They both use the C145S combo, they both are based on creatures that are mixes of 2 or more creatures (Griffins and Centaurs), and they are used by characters in the anime who followed Bladers who have dragon Beyblades (Kenta Yumiya and Takanosuke Shishiya).

-'''C145 '''is a unique Track that has the claws on it to strike opponents underneath. The claws point straight out in battle due to the spin, and stay that way through the rest of the battle. Transcendent purple with checkered stickers, this Track helps to provide the Bey with good Defense. A low attacker like Screw Capricorne 90MF can attack the C145 track when used with the Flame Fusion Wheel. It will make the Bey lose its Balance easily. This track was first released with [[Flame Sagittario C145S]].

-The Sharp Bottom offers very little movement and as such provides no Attack potential. The pointed Tip

-allows for very little friction between the Bottom and the stadium surface, which helps prevent the loss of spin velocity. However, due to the fine nature of the Tip, the bottom is easily knocked off balance, and hence is outclassed by superior alternatives such as WD/SD/D/EWD/SWD. This Tip is outclassed and deemed pathetic among Stamina types. It is not as powerful as an ES, BS or any other Stamina type Performance Tips. Because of its poor balance, when used with C145, the Track usually touches the floor when hit with a strong Attack which will cause it to lose Stamina and Balance.

-*Archer Gryph is the second Beyblade to have been released with the C145S combo. The first being [[Flame Sagittario C145S]] three years prior.
-*Archer Gryph was previously believed to have the "Shinobi" Crystal Wheel after post [[User:Kai-V|Kai-V]] published on the [[WBO]]. However, it was later proven that, during the prototype stages of the Bey, it did indeed have the Shinobi wheel and was changed at an unknown point.
-*If a rev up launcher is used at its full power Archer Gryph will have perfect balance for a period of time that is long enough to knock opponents out of the stadium. During that time, it can also circle around the stadium at moderate speeds.
-==Origin==
-The bey is based on the Griffin, a mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an
