Quattro (クワトロ, Kuwatoro) is a Performance Tips 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-188 Astral Spriggan Customize Set in Japan in August 7th, 2021
Description
Quattro features an adjustable tip with four modes: Attack, Defense, Stamina, and Balance. Due to the gimmick, the tip sits at a taller height than an average Performance Tip. Quattro suffers from a major weakness: it has a noticeably weaker spring than an average Performance Tip, resulting in very low Burst Resistance. This weakness can be somewhat mitigated with the use of Layers with high Burst Resistance, but Quattro Combinations remain prone to Bursting. However, this issue was later rectified with the release of its Dash Driver variant, Quattro'.
The Attack Mode features a flat rubber tip of a small diameter, similar to Xtreme'. Due to the rubber and surface area to friction ratio, the Attack Mode is aggressive and, if launched with a Banking Shoot, has a controllable movement pattern. While the rubber tip creates high speed, it also causes a quick loss of Stamina, and will wear over time.
The Defense Mode features a free-rotating metal ball tip, similar to Orbit Metal, but smaller. This mode has excellent stamina due to the low friction of the metal tip, and the free-rotating ability. The Defense Mode also features an outer ridge that helps keep a Quattro Combination upright once it begins to topple.
The Stamina Mode features a metal sharp tip, similar to Wedge'. This mode features decent stamina due to the low friction of the metal sharp tip. Due to being a pointy sharp tip, the Stamina Mode is vulnerable to Destabilization.
The Balance Mode features a flat rubber tip with a sharp plastic tip in the center, similar to Unite'. When knocked off balance or launched at an angle, the rubber will make contact with the stadium floor, creating aggressive movement akin to the Attack Mode. However, when launched flat, the pointy sharp tip will make contact with the stadium floor, resulting in a Quattro Combination staying in the center, with the rubber acting as brakes to help prevent Knock-Outs.
Overall
Due to its tall height, the Attack and Balance Modes of Quattro are prone to Knock-Outs. The Defense and Stamina Modes of Quattro feature excellent Stamina potential against Same-Spin Opponents, comparable to other competitive Stamina Drivers. However, performance against Opposite-Spin Opponents is somewhat lackluster, and thus not recommended. Due to the release of its Dash Driver variant, there is no reason to use Quattro over Quattro'.
As such, Quattro is recommended for collection purposes only.
