Royal is a Layer Base released by Hasbro as part of the Burst System as well as the HyperSphere System. It debuted in western countries with the release of the HyperSphere Starter Pack, Royal Genesis G5 Swipe Hybrid-H.
Description
Hasbro's Royal is a right-spin Defense Type Base based on Takara Tomy's Regalia Genesis Layer. As such, it has a similar overall oval shape. However, Royal heavily differs from Regalia Genesis in many aspects: instead of a single Layer, it is a Base that is compatible with any right-spin or dual-spin HyperSphere System GT Chip. Furthermore, this modification has removed the "Infinite Lock" gimmick and compatibility with the "Bigbang Armor".
Even when used with GT Chips with high Burst Resistance, Royal is too recoil heavy, thus increasing the risk of Bursting. Royal has too much recoil for use in Defense and Stamina Combinations, and lacks useful contact points for use in Attack Combinations. Consequently, Royal is outclassed in any type of combination.
Overall
Royal is too light and recoil prone to find use in any of the WBO's Burst, Burst GT, and Burst Limited formats. It is outclassed in the latter format by other similarly shaped Layers such as Twin Nemesis and Myth.
As such, Royal is recommended for collection purposes only.
