Evipero E2, known as Exceed Evil-eye (エクシードイビルアイ, Ekushīdo Ibiruai) in Japan, is an Energy Layer released as part of the Burst System as well as the Dual Layer System. It debuted with the release of the BG-04 Random Layer Collection Vol. 4 on October 24th, 2016 and was later released in Random Booster Vol. 6 Tornado Wyvern .4G.At on April 29th, 2017.
Description
Evipero E2 is a Defense Type Energy Layer, the center features the head of a Horned Serpent and molding akin to the Iris of the Eye, like the Layer's Japanese namesake; Evileye.
The perimeter is made up of six blades, three made of colored plastic and three made of clear plastic. The colored blades are wide and make up most of the perimeter while the clear blades are small and party fill up the gaps in between the colored blades, creating a design akin to the Smash Turtle Attack Ring from the Original Plastics Generation.
Despite the resemblance, Exceed Evileye has poor performance due to the Japanese release's mediocre teeth and recoil inducing design caused the large gaps. However, the shape allows Evipero E2 to act as a consistent counter against Maximum Garuda, catching into Maximum Garuda's notches and bursting it, though such usefulness is niche.
Overall
Exceed Evileye features a design too recoil heavy for Defense and teeth too short for Attack. Furthermore, with the release of Switch-Strike/God Layer System, Exceed Evileye is too light to stay competitive. While it can act as consistent counter against the top-tier Maximum Garuda, such usefulness is niche and Exceed Evileye's weak performance would make it a risk in tournament use.
As such, Exceed Evileye is recommended for collection purposes only.
Differences in the Hasbro Version
Hasbro's release of Evipero E2 is virtually unchanged from the Takara Tomy release with the same recoil inducing shape and weak Burst resistance.
As such, Hasbro's Evipero E2 is recommended for collection purposes only.
