Ray (レイ, Rei) is a Fusion Wheel released by Takara Tomy. It debuted in Japan with the release of the BB-71 Starter Ray Unicorno D125CS on April 1, 2010.
Description
Ray is a relatively thin, bumpy, three-winged Fusion Wheel. Between each of the three wings are small gaps, which allow the blunt ends of each wing to provide a small amount of Smash Attack. Additionally, along each wing there are two indents which follow the contours of the Fusion Wheel; these indents are pronounced enough to provide additional Spike Attack and work in tandem with the aforementioned blunt ends of each wing. Ray's window to KO the opponent is quite small, as its Smash Attack is only prominent at the very high spin velocities found at the beginning of each battle. Letters spelling out "RAY" are written on the top of the Fusion Wheel in a stylised font.
Overall
Ray has fallen into disuse with the introduction of rubber Defense Type Performance Tips such as Rubber Spike (RS), as Ray has difficulty KOing combos with such Performance Tips. Furthermore, Fusion Wheels such as Blitz and Variares outclass Ray in terms of Attack.
As such, Ray is recommended for collection purposes only.
