Face Bolt - Destroyer
- Main article: Face Bolt - Destroyer
The Destroyer Face Bolt depicts "Perseus", a Greek hero and one of the 88 constellations in space. In Greek mythology, Perseus slayed the gorgon "Medusa" by cutting off her head. He later used the head of Medusa to defeat "Cetus". The design displays a Greek gladiator helmet design, with the name "Perseus" written below it. When the Face Bolt is viewed upside down, it resembles the head of Medusa, a reference to Gravity Perseus' Special Move, Eyes of Medusa.
Energy Ring - Destroyer Stamina
- Main article: Energy Ring - Destroyer Stamina
Destroyer is a Dual Spin Energy Ring designed to work in tandem with the Gravity Fusion Wheel. Destroyer features a mode change gimmick; when the Destroyer Energy Ring is rotated 180 degrees, it can switch between "Counter Mode" and "Defense Mode". Depending on the mode, the "eyes" of the Gravity Fusion Wheel will be covered by the Energy Ring.
Destroyer Stamina is the largest and heaviest of the three Destroyer variants, expanding the Defense variant's three large and three small protrusions into two sets of three large protrusions. This means that Gravity will be covered up significantly, regardless of which mode it is in.
Fusion Wheel - Gravity
- Main article: Fusion Wheel - Gravity
Gravity is intended to be used with the Destroyer line of Energy Rings. As such, it features three curved pockets meant for a Destroyer Energy Ring to rest in. Gravity is a thick Fusion Wheel, and is dual spin, lacking the protrusions that usually prevent a Fusion Wheel from being used with the wrong direction launcher. When a Destroyer Energy Ring is rotated 180 degrees, Gravity Destroyer can switch between "Counter Mode" and "Defense Mode", covering the "eyes" of Gravity depending on the mode.
In Defense Mode, the Energy Ring covers the jagged protrusions, increasing metal on plastic contact, reducing recoil. In Counter Mode, these jagged protrusions are exposed, leading to high recoil and an increase in Smash Attack.
Spin Track - 85
- Main article: Spin Track - 85
85 is the lowest Spin Track available and thus, the best Spin Track for low attackers due to its Attack and Stamina capabilities. However, 85's low height causes it to scrape the stadium floor when it begins to lose spin. Due to this, some prefer to use 90 over 85. However, if placed with tall Performance Tips, like Rubber Flat (RF), 85 can avoid floor scrapes as much as possible. Although 85 can be countered with Spin Tracks like TH170 and 230, it still remains an excellent Spin Track for Attack Type customizations. However, low-attacker Spin Tracks like 85 and 90 have fallen into disuse with the release of Flame Byxis 230WD and Hades Kerbecs BD145DS, as their Spin Tracks are immune to low attackers.
Performance Tip - Defense Spike
- Main article: Performance Tip - Defense Spike
Defense Spike (DS) is a hollowed out Defense (D) tip with a Spike (S) tip embedded inside of it, leaving a gap between the S tip and the outer D "ring". This is intended to create centrifugal force but it is not notable. Like most Defense Type Performance Tips, Defense Spike is able to maintain its balance well.
