Insert Hasbro Name, known as Revive Phoenix (リヴァイブフェニックス, Rivaibu Fenikkusu) in Japan, is an Energy Layer released as part of the Burst System as well as the Super Z Layer System. It debuted with the release of the B-117 Starter Revive Phoenix 10 Friction on July 7th, 2018.

Description

Revive Phoenix is a Defense Type Energy Layer that features a bird in the center and four feathered blades that make up the bird's wings, meant to represent the Layer's namesake; the mythical immortal bird, the Phoenix. As part of the Super Z Layer System, Revive Phoenix features metal in its design; in this case, lining the tips of the wings and surrounding the center which makes Revive Phoenix heavier than most SwitchStrike/God Layers. Revive Phoenix also features a gimmick, the Layer can Burst twice.

To Burst twice, the four bladed outer perimeter making up the wings, known as the Revive Armour, is attached to the rest of the Layer by a mechanism different to what connects a Layer to a Tip and will only release once a Revive Phoenix combination loses a click. Since the Revive Armour has a weaker lock than Revive Phoenix's own medium length teeth, it parries impacts with the opponent akin to Tornado Wyvern's free-spinning Layer. While the loss of the Revive Armour makes the Layer much lighter, the smoother perimeter this action creates reduces recoil to compensate.  

Furthermore, the Revive Armour is left in the stadium so as to interfere with the opponent's Tip and impede Banking Patterns and reduce Stamina. However, this can also interfere with the Revive Phoenix Combination.

Like many other Super Z Layers, Revive Phoenix is unbalanced which increases Burst risk and drains Stamina. However, these issues can be solved with the use of a Level Chip that fits underneath the Layer.

Use in Defense Combinations

Revive Phoenix can be used in the Defense Combination Revive Phoenix 0/2/4/5/7/10 Cross/Glaive Atomic/Orbit. The heavy weight, teeth and gimmick of Revive Phoenix gives this combination high KO and Burst resistance. The 0/2/4/5/7/10 Disc bolsters KO resistance and Stamina while Atomic/Orbit can further bolster Stamina and KO resistance. Atomic specifically can provide Life After Death along with the Cross/Glaive Frame.

Overall

Revive Phoenix features heavy weight, a working gimmick and a low recoil design, making it a Top-Tier choice for Defense Combinations. Furthermore, with greater Stamina than Emperor Forneus, Revive Phoenix has become the best Right-Spin Defense Layer in the game.

As such, Revive Phoenix is a must have for competitive bladers.
