High Xtend' (ハイエクステンドダッシュ, Hai Ekusutendo Dasshu; High Xtend Dash) is a Performance Tip released as part of the Burst System as well as the Dynamite Battle Layer System. While this Performance Tip doesn't have an official release, it is possible to create by combining the Chip from Xtend with High Xtend+'.
Description
Takara Tomy's High Xtend' is a High and Dash Driver variant of Xtend, featuring a taller height than the standard Performance Tip, as well as increased Burst Resistance due to a stronger spring. Like its regular counterpart, High Xtend' features a manual height-change gimmick, and a wide flat base that has a small sharp tip protruding in its center, akin to a wider Fusion. Like Fusion, when launched straight down into the stadium, the protrusion in the center will keep the Beyblade stable and still in the center, preventing Stamina loss. When High Xtend' is either knocked off balance by an opponent or launched at an angle, the flat base will make contact with the stadium, creating an aggressive movement pattern with speeds equal to Assault. However this aggressive movement is unreliable as the protrusion can slow the Combination down in the center of the stadium or stop the movement entirely and the greater surface area makes it difficult to maintain a banking pattern.
By pulling and twisting the tip, High Xtend''s height can be changed between two modes. When using High Xtend''s lower mode, it is the height of a standard Performance Tip, allowing the Layer of the High Xtend' Combination and the opponent to impact each other directly. When using Xtend's Higher Setting, in theory, its height would increase contact between the High Xtend' Combination's Disc and Frame and the opponent's Layer. Such contact would prevent the High Xtend' Combination from Bursting and instead cause the opponent to Burst. In practice however, the height of most Layers and the minimal change in height means that there will be contact between the Layers regardless. Furthermore, High Xtend''s height change is less than that of Tower, a Performance Tip that already has performance issues due to too little height change.
