- This article is about High Massive. For its normal counterpart, see Performance Tip - Massive.
High Massive (ハイマッシブ, Hai Masshibu) is a Performance Tip released by Takara Tomy as part of the Burst System as well as the Dynamite Battle Layer System. It debuted in Japan with the release of the B-00 DB Driver Get Campaign on April 24th, 2021.
Description
Takara Tomy's High Massive is a High Driver variant of Massive, featuring a taller height than the standard Performance Tip. High Massive features a ball shaped tip that sits at the standard height, akin to Defense, but differs by having a larger diameter, having three tabs instead of four and lacking the defensive ring. In theory, the wider tip would increase a Beyblade's Defense by having greater surface area and friction, however in practice, High Massive lags behind Defense in almost every aspect.
Like other ball based Defense Performance Tips, the tabs around High Massive are meant to act as brakes against Knock-Outs at the cost of Stamina by striking against the stadium floor, however, the larger diameter makes such contact rare, giving High Massive weaker Knock-Out Resistance than defense.
The greater surface area of the larger ball creates a semi-aggressive movement pattern early in the battle, bringing a Beyblade closer to the Tornado Ridge. Due to the aforementioned weaker Knock-Out Resistance, any Beyblade using this tip will become very easy to Knock-Out.
While High Massive lacks the scrape risk the ring around Defense posed, it does little to compensate for the fact that High Massive's greater surface area and friction gives it weaker Stamina than Defense.
