Brutal Luinor L4 10 Hunter-S, stylized as Brutal Lúinor L4 10 Hunter-S, is an Attack Type Beyblade released by Hasbro as part of the Burst System as well as the SlingShock System. It was released in western countries as a part of the Master Set for USD$19.99 in the United States.
Energy Layer - Brutal Lúinor L4
- Main article: Energy Layer - Brutal Luinor L4
Hasbro's Brutal Lúinor L4 is a wide Left-Spin Energy Layer that features five dragon heads, with one in the center of the Layer and four that line each of the wings that make up the points of contact, creating a diamond and thus aggressive design. Like most other SlingShock System Energy Layers, Brutal Lúinor L4 can fit a Level Chip.
Unlike its Takara Tomy counterpart Bloody Longinus, Brutal Lúinor L4 lacks the metal dragon heads, making it much lighter, with a weight equal to Dual Layer System Layers. While Lúinor L4 retains the same recoil-heavy shape, there is no weight to its attacks, rendering it outclassed by most SwitchStrike System Layers.
Forge Disc - 10
- Main article: Forge Disc - 10
10, like other even numbered Core Discs, is symmetrical and elliptical in shape in order to facilitate a Disc Frame. Each side features five protrusions, each molded into the shape of a "10". The protrusions extend further from the center more than other Core Discs which grants 10 high Outward Weight Distribution (OWD) and subsequent Stamina potential. Furthermore, the size of the protrusions makes 10 one of the heaviest Core Discs at the time of writing, heavier than 7 but less than 0, and grants an ideal weight distribution for Stamina Combinations. Its high Outward Weight Distribution (OWD) grants it not only the highest Stamina potential out of all other Core Discs, but its weight grants it high Attack and Defense potential. With the use of Frames, 10 can be used to great effect in any Combination.
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.
