'''Xcalius X4''', like its predecessors [https://beyblade.fandom.com/wiki/Energy_Layer_-_Xcalius Xcalius], [https://beyblade.fandom.com/wiki/Energy_Layer_-_Xcalius_X2 Xcalius X2], and [https://beyblade.fandom.com/wiki/Energy_Layer_-_Xcalius_X3 Xcalius_X3] is a symmetrical Attack Type Energy Layer that's based on the legendary sword Excalibur. As such, it features a large sword running down the length of the Layer, the end of which protrudes from the bottom which acts as the primary point of contact, along with four blades that form a diamond-like shape with two of them creating the visage of sideways bird heads. Unlike its predecessors (excluding [https://beyblade.fandom.com/wiki/Energy_Layer_-_Xcalius_X3 Xcalius_X3]), '''Xcalius X4''' has an overall diamond-like shape as opposed to a round one, as such a shape creates four recoil heavy points of contact. As part of the Cho-Z Layer system, '''Xcalius X4''' features metal in its design, in this case in the sword. The inclusion of metal increases the weight of the Layer, granting higher inertia that increases both KO and Burst Attack as well as increasing the Layer's Burst Resistance, as the high inertia resists teeth skipping, a property that compliments the tall teeth of the Takara Tomy release of '''Buster Xcalibur. '''However, the asymmetrical design of the metal sword means that this Layer is incredibly unbalanced, a trait that drains the Stamina of Stamina Combinations and can break an Attack Combination's Banking Pattern.
 
 
'''Xcalius X4 '''also features a gimmick: The metal sword can be unlocked to set it in Buster Mode, in which the centrifugal force of a Beyblade's spin causes the sword to protrude even further, in theory increasing its KO and Burst attack.

Xcalius X4 1' Sword, known as Buster Xcalibur 1' Sword (バスターエクスカリバー・ワンダッシュ・ソード, Basutā Ekusukaribā Wandasshu Sōdo) in Japan, is an Attack Type Beyblade released as part of the Burst System as well as the Cho-Z Layer System. It was released as a Starter in Japan on August 11th, 2018 for 1512円.

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 the same protrusions along with a single, larger protrusion of the same shape. 1''s gimmick, like its predecessor 1, is that it is 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 Buster Xcalibur more properly balanced by aligning the heavier side opposite the the heavier side of the Layer which increases Stamina and Burst Resistance.

However, compared to 1, 1' is only slightly imbalanced as both sides are mostly filled in with metal, unlike in 1 where one side was hollowed out. While this makes 1' heavier, it also significantly reduces the synergy with an Xcalibur Layer and the Disc is still lighter than more commonly used Discs such as 0.

Performance Tip - Sword

Main article: Performance Tip - Sword

Sword features a wide, metal, six-pointed star tip, akin to a combination of Iron, Assault and Jaggy. Due to the shape and surface area, Sword will create a highly aggressive movement pattern with speeds comparable to Assault. However, the rough perimeter, low friction of the metal and wide diameter of the tip makes it difficult for Sword to maintain a banking pattern and creates relatively poor Stamina despite the metal construction, making Sword ill-suited for Tornado Stalling Combinations as well.

Furthermore, Sword features two sword-like protrusions on either side. Due to the height of the Burst System, no Combination can come into contact with the protrusions and they instead create a severe scrape risk, nullifying Life-After-Death potential. When paired with the Xcalibur line of Layers, the protrusions are meant to line up with the Layer's sword point to increase Attack potential. However, the protrusions are too small have any noticeable effect.

Finally, Sword is taller than most other Performance Tips which further reduces Attack potential as most Attack Type benefit from being at lower heights.

Trivia

  • Like its predecessors Xcalius X2 Magnum Impact and Xcalius X3 1 Iron, Xcalius X4's Japanese name, Buster Xcalibur, is based on the word "buster", a thing that breaks, destroys, or overpowers something, and from the legendary sword Excalibur from Arthurian tales.
  • Like Xcalius X3 1 Iron, Xcalius X4's avatar is an armored humanoid wielding a large blade. The only difference, however, is that Xcalius X4's avatar is a full humanoid, not like Xcalius X3's, which was a sword that transformed into a humanoid.
  • Unlike its predecessors, Xcalius X4 is wielded by a new character named Xavier Bogard in Beyblade Burst Turbo, instead of Xander Shakadera.
  • Similar to how Xcalius X3 was created in the anime, Xcalius X4 was forged into a sword then created into a Beyblade.
  • This Bey has the first Core Disc that is not just numbers.
  • In the Turbo anime, Xcalius X4 possesses a gold Level Chip.
