Eight Spikes is a Attack Ring released as part of the Engine Gear System. It debuted with the release of Dragoon G.

Description[]

  • Weight: 5 grams

Eight Spikes takes the form of four dragon heads followed by slightly smaller fins, for a total of eight contact points. Each one of its eight well-spaced, well-shaped contact points is further enhanced by small spikes, adding Spike Attack to its already prodigious Smash Attack.

While it is less powerful than other Attack Ring options for left-spin Smash Attack such as Square Edge and Triple Beak, it compensates with solid consistency and low recoil, being capable of clean knockouts at any stage of battle. As a result, Eight Spiker is an excellent choice for usage on SG Metal Flat 2.

It is, therefore, a solid AR choice for a left-spin smash attack customization. However, Eight Spiker is only effective in left spin, as it does not have any sort of specialized contact points for smash attack in right spin. In addition, being mainly effective in left spin means that it is not able to make use of Grip Base, the fastest and shortest rubber-tipped base.

Use in Smash Attack customization:[]

Eight Spiker's low recoil and solid consistency are best exemplified with this customization. Wide Defense's width and (relatively) light weight, combined with the light weight of the Normal Core, means that more weight is focused on the perimeter rather than centrally, helping with movement speed and somewhat helping Eight Spiker's Smash Attack. Eight Spiker also capitalizes on its low recoil and solid consistency using SG Metal Flat 2, which possesses solid stamina while also retaining high controllability.
