αssault is a Performance Tip released as part of the Burst System. It debuted with the limited release of Amaterios Aero Assault via the Rare Bey Get battle game.
Description
Weight: 5.5 grams
The Assault Driver is a wider version of the Accel Driver. It is a flat-based Driver and is the same height as all previous Drivers released in the Beyblade Burst series. The top of the Driver features a symbol called alpha (α, the first letter of the Greek alphabet) which represents "αssault", for easy recognition between other Drivers. While Bladers commonly spell it as "Assault", the use of the α in the official spelling ensures that the one-part-per-letter rule gets followed in the Burst System, instead of doubling the A's.
Assault performs like a standard flat tip, but it is just much faster around the stadium compared to previous releases because of its tip's wider circumference. The enhanced speed makes this Driver great for attack-based combos, but this comes with sacrifices of control of the Beyblade. Due to the speed this Driver produces, it makes it a lot harder to pull off a flower pattern by Banking or performing a Sliding Shoot. As such, it is mostly only good at defeating mobile Beyblades that wander close to the Tornado Ridge, which it follows wildly once it catches onto it. The larger surface of contact's higher friction also comes at the expense of lower stamina, with αssault losing spin velocity earlier than smaller flat tips and delivering mediocre hits by the time it reaches the center of the stadium.
Use in Attack Customization
With its incredible speed, Valkyrie Heavy αssault is able to easily knock out combos such as Wyvern Heavy Accel (a Mobile Defense combination) by simply pushing it out of the stadium.
