- This article is about the Takara Tomy version. For the Hasbro version, see QS Blade - Chain.
Chain (チェイン, Chēn) is a BU Blade released by Takara Tomy as part of the Burst System as well as the Dynamite Battle Layer System and the Burst Ultimate Layer Series. It debuted in Japan with the release of the B-198 Random Booster Vol. 29 on May 28th, 2022.
Description
Takara Tomy's Chain is a right-spin Defense Type BU Blade with a round rugged shape featuring six retractable rubber chains and two plastic chains. When used with most DB Cores, the perimeter of the DB Core will push on the rubber chains, extending them outwards. When used with the Kerbeus DB Core, the round perimeter of Kerbeus allows the rubber chains to retract when struck, which in theory absorbs some of the impact. In practice the effect of this gimmick is negligible, and Chain combinations can still be Knocked Out by Attack combinations. It finds the most use in Opposite-Spin matchups such as those against Guilty combinations, but BU Blades such as Barricade perform better in this role.
Overall
While Chain has some uses in Defense and Stamina combinations, it is outclassed in both roles by other Blades.
