Forge Disc - 1

Main article: Forge Disc - 1

1, like other odd numbered Core Discs, is asymmetrical and elliptical in order to facilitate a Disc Frame. One side features two small sword-tip like protrusions and the other side features a single, larger protrusion of the same shape. 1's gimmick is that it is highly imbalanced, it achieves this by having the side with the larger protrusion being more filled in with metal than the other, akin to Quarter. This weight distribution has two primary uses: The first is to increase the Burst Attack of Attack Combinations by generating momentum like a flail which is further enhanced by the heavy weight of 1. The second is to make a Combination using an imbalanced Layer such as Sieg Xcalibur more properly balanced by aligning the heavier side opposite the the heavier side of the Layer which increases Stamina and Burst Resistance.

Compared to Quarter, 1 has greater success in Attack Combinations and has proven capable of increasing the rate of Bursts despite being lighter than most other Core Discs. However, the same imbalance makes 1 unsuitable for Stamina or Defense as the more imbalanced a Combination is, the easier it is to Burst and the faster it loses Stamina. Furthermore, the imbalance slows down Mobile Attack Combinations, making it better suited for Stationary Attack Combinations.

Performance Tip - Hunter-S

Main article: Performance Tip - Hunter-S

Hunter-S is an Attack Type Performance Tip and Hasbro's SlingShock counterpart to Hunter. Like its normal counterpart, Hunter-S features a flat rubber tip with a circular depression in the center. The rubber tip creates a moderately aggressive movement pattern that can be controlled with a Banking Shoot. The diameter of Hunter-S's rubber tip is wider than its normal counterpart, and even Xtreme, creating higher speeds at the cost of control. Both releases of Hunter-S also have harder rubber than the normal Hunter. Hunter-S's high friction reduces the chance of losing a Banking Pattern in battle, making it an excellent choice for Attack combinations. As with other rubber flat tips, Hunter-S has low Stamina due to the high friction of the rubber tip.

Like other SlingShock Performance Tips, Hunter-S features a "Battle Ring Mode" and a "SlingShock Mode"; in the case of Hunter-S, the flat tip is simply twisted and extended downwards, increasing its height. While "Battle Ring Mode" is generally preferred due to its standard height, "SlingShock Mode" can be used in combinations with a high scrape risk, such as those utilizing QuadDrive Layers.
