3A-D is a Forge Disc released by Hasbro as part of the Burst System as well as the SpeedStorm System. It debuted in western countries with the release of the SpeedStorm Starter Pack, Raid Lúinor L6 3A-D Destroyer-SPM.
Description
3A-D is a Forge Disc based on Takara Tomy’s 3A Chassis. As such, it is intended to match the shape of the Raid Ring. 3A-D is composed of a metal core and a plastic perimeter riveted to it, similar to the Drake GT Disc. The jagged design has two plastic upward sloping blades acting as the main contact points. The shape of the Disc synergizes with the Longinus/Luinor series of Layers.
Despite its aggressive shape, 3A-D suffers from its light weight that is similar to Discs released in the Dual Layer System. In addition, 3A-D does not protrude enough on most Layers to provide use of its contact points. Unlike the 3A Chassis it is based on, 3A-D does not effectively provide Raid or any other Layer with additional Attack power.
Use in Attack Combinations
3A-D has a small amount of synergy with the Lost Longinus/Lost Lúinor L2 Layers as its contact points are exposed while beneath the Layer. 3A-D can be used in the Attack Combination Lost Longinus/Lost Lúinor L2 3A-D Xtreme/Hunter-S. However this Combination is severely outclassed in the current metagame, even in the WBO's Burst Limited Format.
Overall
3A-D is too light and ineffectual in Attack Combinations, where it finds the most use in. In addition, 3A-D is outclassed by previously released Discs, especially Core Discs that are compatible with Frames.
As such, 3A-D is recommended for collection purposes only.
3A-D synergizes with the Lost Longinus and Luinor L2 Layers, but these Combinations are heavily outclassed. In other Combinations, there are more effective options than 3A-D.
As such, 3A-D is recommended for collection purposes only.
3A-D is not legal in the WBO's Burst Classic Format.
As such, 3A-D is recommended for collection purposes only.Products
