Phoenix Wing (フェニックスウィング, Fenikkusu Uingu) is a Blade released by Takara Tomy as part of the Basic Line system. It debuted in Japan with the release of the BX-23 Starter, Phoenix Wing 9-60GF, on December 10th, 2023. It later debuted in western countries as Soar Phoenix with the release of Hasbro's Soar Phoenix Deluxe String Launcher Pack.
Description
Soar Phoenix (Japanese: PhoenixWing) is a three-sided Attack Type Blade with three blades acting as the main contact points. At the time of writing, Phoenix Wing, along with another painted "Metal Coat" Blade Cobalt Drake, is the heaviest Blade at an average weight of 38.0 grams. The Gear Chip features the phoenix spreading its wings.
The three blades slope upwards, creating Upper Attack. At the start of each of the three blades is a protruding "Launcher Hook" - unlike other Blades, Phoenix Wing's Launcher Hooks protrude past the perimeter of the Blade, creating contact points. When lined up with the three larger protrusions of the 9-60 Ratchet, this creates "Attack Points" with high amounts of Smash Attack.
At 38.0 grams, Phoenix Wing is heavier than most Defense and Stamina Blades, and is the heaviest Attack Blade at the time of writing. Combined with its aggressive shape, Phoenix Wing is highly versatile, and can be used on flat Bits such as Low Flat (LF) and Rush (R) for a powerful Attack combination, or on Bits such as Ball (B) and Needle (N) for Balance combinations. Alternatively, Point (P) and Taper (T) have been popular alternatives as well for Attack combinations. At the time of writing, Phoenix Wing and the Rush Bit have been heavily used together in B4 and WBO tournaments.
Overall
Phoenix Wing's heavy weight and excellent Attack capabilities make it a staple Blade.
As such, Phoenix Wing is a must-have for the WBO's X format.
