Zurafa, known in Japan as Giraffe, is an Energy Ring released as part of the Hybrid Wheel System. It debuted with the release of Rock Zurafa R145WB on May 22, 2010.
Description[]
Zurafa is an elliptical Energy Ring featuring a scale-like relief on its interior, an opaque flame-like design along the points of the ellipse, and a small protrusion on either side. Zurafa’s uneven weight distribution and non-circular shape cause it to be outclassed by Gasher, Cygnus, and Darkhelm for Stamina and Defense. While one might guess that it pairs well with several Attack-type Fusion Wheels due to revealing or putting weight behind their contact points, this is only the case for the outclassed Vulcan Fusion Wheel, and Zurafa does not perform well on the more powerful Flash when compared to Scorpio, Orion, and Gemios.
Overall[]
The only Fusion Wheel that Zurafa synergizes with is Vulcan, which is too light to compete in most formats. Vulcan has some usage as an attacker in the WBO's Metal Fight Limited format, and thus Zurafa can be used there, although Zurafa is not the first choice in Vulcan combos.
As such, Zurafa is not a must-have, but is a welcome addition for the WBO's Metal Fight Limited format.
