Revision as of 20:07, 18 March 2020

This article is about the Hasbro version. For the Takara Tomy version, see Energy Layer - Sieg Xcalibur.

Xcalius X3 is an Energy Layer released by Hasbro as part of the Burst System as well as the SwitchStrike System. It debuted in western countries with the release of the SwitchStrike Starter Pack Xcalius X3 1 Iron.

Description

In-depth information for Hasbro’s Xcalius X3 Energy Layer will be placed here once drafting has been completed for it. Please be patient.

Overall

Hasbro’s Xcalius X3 is virtually unchanged from Takara Tomy's Sieg Xcalibur with the same heavy weight, unbalanced design, high recoil and strong Burst Resistance.

As such, Hasbro's Xcalius X3 is not a must have but is instead a welcome addition to a blader's collection as well as a must have for competitive bladers in the Hasbro-Only Format.

 ==Description==
+<onlyinclude>In-depth information for Hasbro’s '''Xcalius X3''' Energy Layer will be placed here once drafting has been completed for it. Please be patient.</onlyinclude>
-<onlyinclude>'''Xcalius X3''', like its predecessors [[Energy Layer - Xcalius|Xcalius]] and [[Energy Layer - Xcalius X2|Xcalius X2]], is an Attack Type Energy Layer based on the legendary sword Excalibur that 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. However, the due to the exaggerated designs around the sword, the contact point doesn't even protrude as far as [[Energy Layer - Xcalius X2|Xcalius X2]]'s contact point. To make up for this, '''Xcalius X3''' has an overall diamond shape as opposed to round as such a shape creates four recoil heavy points of contact. As part of the Switch-Strike/God Layer System, '''Xcalius X3 '''features a gimmick; the sword is made of metal, akin to the dragon heads found on [[Energy Layer - Luinor L2|Luinor L2]]. However the tip of the sword is covered in plastic, to reduce the possibility of breaking the opponent's Layer.
-The inclusion of metal increases the weight of the Layer, granting higher inertia that increases both Knock-Out 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 Japanese release. However the asymmetrical design of the metal sword means that this Layer is incredibly unbalanced, a trait that drains the Stamina of combinations and can break a combination's banking pattern.
-However, the large gap where the hilt of the sword lies is liable to denting and even chipping due to how thin the molding is. While not enough to completely break '''Xcalius X3''', if one is fearful of possible performance changes or simply dislikes the damaged appearance they may want to own multiple copies of this Layer.</onlyinclude>
-==Use in Attack Combinations==
-'''Xcalius X3''' can be put to use in the attack combination (MGC) '''Xcalius X3''' [[Forge Disc - 2|2]]/[[Forge Disc - 4|4]]/[[Forge Disc - 5|5]]/[[Forge Disc - 7|7]] [[Disc Frame - Meteor|Meteor]]/[[Disc Frame - Vortex|Vortex]] [[Performance Tip - Xtreme|Xtreme]]/[[Performance Tip - Atomic|Atomic]]/[[Performance Tip - Trans|Trans]]. The heavy weight of [[Forge Disc - 2|2]]/[[Forge Disc - 4|4]]/[[Forge Disc - 5|5]]/[[Forge Disc - 7|7]] [[Disc Frame - Meteor|Meteor]]/[[Disc Frame - Vortex|Vortex]] bolsters '''Xcalius X3'''<nowiki/>'<nowiki/> Burst potential while the Layer's strong teeth and weight can compensate for the increased Burst risk. [[Performance Tip - Xtreme|Xtreme]] makes the combination a Mobile Attack Type and its high speed further increases Burst potential while its friction can reduce the risk of banking pattern loss by '''Xcalius X3'''<nowiki/>'<nowiki/> unbalanced nature while [[Performance Tip - Atomic|Atomic]] makes the combination a Stationary Attack Type and its stability and Stamina can off set the low Stamina posed by '''Xcalius X3'''<nowiki/>'<nowiki/> unbalanced nature. [[Performance Tip - Trans|Trans]] is capable of performing both tasks but at the cost of possible pattern loss in Attack Mode and stability and Stamina loss in Stamina mode.
 ==Overall==
+Hasbro’s '''Xcalius X3''' is virtually unchanged from Takara Tomy's [[Energy Layer - Sieg Xcalibur|Sieg Xcalibur]] with the same heavy weight, unbalanced design, high recoil and strong Burst Resistance.
-'''Xcalius X3''' features a recoil heavy design, heavy weight and strong teeth making it a top-tier Energy Layer for attack combinations. While the unbalanced design is liable to throwing off a combinations banking pattern and reduces stamina, its high Burst potential makes it on par with [[Energy Layer - Legend Spryzen S3|Legend Spriggan]].
-'''As such, Xcalius X3 is a must have for competitive bladers.'''
