This article is about the Takara Tomy and Pro Series Base. For Hasbro's HyperSphere Base, see Layer Base - Sword.

Slash (スラッシュ, Surasshu) is a Layer Base released by Takara Tomy as part of the Burst System as well as the Gatinko Layer System. It debuted in Japan with the release of the B-134 Booster, Slash Valkyrie Blitz Power Retsu, on March 16th, 2019. It later debuted in western countries as Sword with the release of Hasbro's Evo Elite Champions Pro Set.

Description

An Attack Type Base that powerfully flicks the opponent with three large upper blades.
— Official Description

Slash is a Right-Spin Attack Type Layer Base that features three upward slanted wings as the primary points of contact, akin to its predecessors in the Valkyrie Energy Layer line. As part of the Gatinko Layer System, Slash is compatible with any Right-Spin or Dual-Spin Gatinko Chip. While the three-sided shape implies Slash has high Attack potential, the wings are too short and do not protrude far enough to make decent contact. While its aggressive shape has moderate Attack potential, Slash is outclassed by Judgement for right-spin Attack Type Layer Bases.

Hasbro's Pro Series Sword is virtually unchanged from Takara Tomy's Slash, but manufactured with weaker materials.

Overall

Gatinko Layer System Energy Layers, and consequently Layer Bases, are too light to be competitive in the current metagame.

As such, Slash is recommended for collection purposes only.

Slash's moderate Attack potential can be used in Attack Combinations utilizing rubber Performance Tips such as Quick' and Xtreme'.

As such, Slash is not a must have but is instead a welcome addition to a blader's collection.

Slash is not legal in the WBO's Burst Classic Format.

As such, Slash is recommended for collection purposes only.
