Attack is one of three main types of Beyblades in the Beyblade hobby. Attack-type beys are known for their quick speed and hard-hitting attacks, as well as having a rather poor Stamina. In the anime, the main protagonists, Tyson Granger, Gingka Hagane, Zyro Kurogane, and Masamune Kadoya, along with the former antagonists Ryuga and Sakyo Kurayami are widely known for using Attack-types.
The goal for Attack-Types are to defeat the opposing Beyblade by either depleting all of its Stamina or by forcing a knockout (KO), sending the opponent flying out of the stadium. They must accomplish this in a very short amount of time, since Attack-Types heavily rely on makery-fast Blade Bases (Plastics), Running Cores (HMS), or Performance Tips (MFB) with little stamina. Attack-types also tend to use Attack Rings (Plastics and HMS) or Fusion Wheels (MFB) designed with spikes and protrusions throughout for a violent appearance in order to deal the most damage to the opponent.
Due to this, Attack-types generally dominate Stamina-types because despite their inherent impressive Stamina, the latter is usually very lightweight and thus easy to KO. Though Attack is one of the three main types in the metagame, they are not usually seen in tournaments as often as Defense- and Stamina-types.
Another disadvantage for Attack-types is that many wheels have dangerously high recoil, which can result in their own demise due to self-KO. Recoil can be lowered by using a Metal Face Bolt (preferably a Metal Face 2 with the heavy combination).
