Revision as of 21:52, 2 June 2018

Atomic (アトミック, Atomikku) is a Performance Tip released as part of the Burst System as well as the God Layer System. It debuted with the release of the B-80 Random Booster Vol. 6 Tornado Wyvern .4G.At on April 29th, 2017.

Description

Atomic features a free rotating ball tip, akin to its predecessor Orbit, surrounded by a four tabbed, free rotating ring. Unlike Orbit, the ball of Atomic is approximately 3.4 times larger in volume or 1.3 times wider in diameter, in theory, the wider tip would increase a Beyblade's Knock-Out defense by having greater surface area and friction, however, in practice the free rotating nature of the ball reduces most of the Knock-Out resistance given by the surface area of the ball. Like other ball based defensive Performance Tips, the tabs around Atomic 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. If hard launched, the greater surface area creates a semi-aggressive movement pattern early in the battle, bringing the Beyblade close to the Tornado Ridge.

While these features may imply that an Atomic combination would be easy to Knock-Out, in reality the heavy weight of SwitchStrike/God Layers, Core Discs and Atomic's own weight compensates for the rotating ball. Furthermore, the free rotating tip increases the Burst resistance of an Atomic combination, however, Atomic's spring lock is noticeably weaker than Orbit's, making Atomic lag behind its predecessor in terms of Burst resistance.

In addition to the Defensive properties, Atomic features high Stamina and spin-equalization potential as well as the free rotating nature reduces friction with the stadium floor, the wide ball tip keeps a combination stable and thus prevents scraping and the free spinning ring increases procession time and Life-After-Death.

Use in Defense Combinations

Atomic can be used in the Defense combination (MGC) Alter Chronos (Stamina Mode) 0/2/4/5/7 Glaive/Cross/Star Atomic. The heavy weight of 0/2/4/5/7 adds Knock-Out resistance and Stamina to the combination while Alter Chronos reduces recoil. Atomic bolsters the Stamina of 0/2/4/5/7, bolsters the Life-After-Death of Glaive/Cross/Star and bolsters the Burst resistance of Alter Chronos. These factors allow the combination to resists Knock-Outs and Bursts and out spin the opponent.

Use in Stamina Combinations

Atomic can be put to use in the Stamina combination (A Mold God Chip) Guardian Kerbeus/Deep Chaos 0/2/4/5/7 Glaive/Cross/Star Atomic. The heavy weight of 0/2/4/5/7 adds Knock-Out resistance to and bolsters the Stamina of the combination. Atomic further bolsters the Stamina of Guardian Kerbeus/Deep Chaos and 0/2/4/5/7, bolsters the Life-After-Death of Glaive/Cross/Star and adds the Burst resistance to the combination. These factors allow the combination to resist Knock-Outs and Bursts and out spin the opponent.

Use in Attack Combinations

Atomic can be put to use in the Stationary Attack combination (MGC) Sieg Xcalibur/Twin Nemesis (Upper Attack Mode) 0/2/4/5/7 Glaive/Cross/Star Atomic. The heavy weight of Sieg Xcalibur and a Core Disc add Knock-Out resistance and the weight distribution of Twin Nemesis and Core Disc add Stamina. Atomic further bolsters the Stamina of Twin Nemesis and 0/2/4/5/7, bolsters the Life-After-Death of Glaive/Cross/Star and adds Burst resistance to the combination and the aggressive movement early in battle bolsters Attack potential. These factors allow the combination to Burst or out spin the opponent.

Use in Spin Equalization Combinations

Atomic can be put to use in the Spin Equalization combination (A Mold God Chip) Drain Fafnir Polish/0/2/4/5/7 Glaive/Cross/Star Atomic. The heavy weight of 0/2/4/5/7 bolsters Knock-Out resistance to and bolsters the Stamina of the combination while the left spin nature of Drain Fafnir reduces recoil. Atomic further bolsters the Stamina of the Layer and 0/2/4/5/7, bolsters the Life-After-Death of Glaive/Cross/Star/Polish, bolsters the spin equalization potential of Drain Fafnir and further bolsters Burst resistance. These factors allow the combination to equalize spin with and out spin a right spin opponent.

Overall

Atomic features high Knock-Out resistance when paired with Core Discs and high Stamina and Life-After-Death when paired with Disc Frames such as Glaive and Cross. But, Orbit may have higher Burst resistance due to Atomic's slightly weaker spring lock.

Nonetheless, Atomic is a key part of today's metagame for any type of combination and as such is a must have for competitive bladers.

Differences in the Hasbro Version

Hasbro's release of Atomic is virtually unchanged from its Takara Tomy counterpart with the same high Stamina, Life-After-Death and Spin-Equalization potential.

As such Atomic is a must have part for bladers in the Hasbro format.

 Use in Stamina Combinations

Atomic can be put to use in Stamina Combination Jormuntor J2/Kerbeus/Anubion A2/Yegdrion 2/4/7 Glaive/Cross Atomic. The high Stamina of 2/4/7 Glaive/Cross synergizes with Jormuntor J2/Kerbeus/Anubion A2/Yegdrion, this combined with the high stamina and burst defense properties of Atomic due to its low friction, allow this Customization to out spin almost other same-spin Stamina/Defense Combinations.

Use in Balance Combinations

Atomic can be put to use in Balance (Stamina/Defense) Customization Fafnir F3 2/4/7 Glaive/Cross Atomic. The heavy weight of 2/4/7 Glaive/Cross adds Knock-Out resistance and Stamina to the combination while Fafnir F3 reduces recoil. Atomic bolsters the Stamina and the Burst resistance of Fafnir F3. These factors allow the combination to resist Knock-Outs and Bursts and out spin the opponent.

Use in Stationary Attack Combinations

Atomic can be put to use in Stationary Burst Attack Combinations Roktavor/Valtryek 2/4/7 Glaive/Cross/Vortex Orbit. The aggressive shape of Roktavor/Valtryek combined with the heavy weight of 2/4/7 Glaive/Cross/Vortex and the semi-aggressive movement provided by Atomic, can provide powerful hits to burst the opponent. The low friction of Atomic also reduces chances of self-bursting.

Use in Spin-Equalization Combinations

Atomic can be put to use in the Spin Equalization combination Fafnir F3 Polish/2/4/7 Glaive/Cross Atomic. The heavy weight of 2/4/7 bolsters Knock-Out resistance to and bolsters the Stamina of the combination while the left spin nature of Fafnir F3 reduces recoil. Atomic further bolsters the Stamina of the Layer and 2/4/7, bolsters the Life-After-Death of Glaive/Cross/Polish, bolsters the spin equalization potential of Fafnir F3 and further bolsters Burst resistance. These factors allow the combination to equalize spin with and out spin a right spin opponent.
