Overall
To facilitate the gimmick of the SlingShock BeyStadiums, Hasbro's Emperor Forneus F4 has its metal replaced with regular plastic, increasing its overall speed at the cost of halved weight and inertia. Aside from the removal of metal, it is virtually unchanged from Takara Tomy's Emperor Forneus with the same low-recoil design, Destabilization potential, and compatibility with Level Chips. Furthermore, it features sturdy slopes as well. While SwitchStrike Layers such as Arc Balkesh B3 and Spryzen Requiem S3 make better choices for Defense Combinations, Emperor Forneus F4's sturdy slopes, low-recoil design and Destabilization potential makes it a great alternative if the aforementioned Layers are unavailable.
As such, Hasbro's Emperor Forneus F4 is recommended for collection purposes only if one has Arc Balkesh B3 or Spryzen Requiem S3 and is a welcome addition if one does not.
