Xplosion (エクスプロージョン, Ekusupurōjon) is a Performance Tip released by Takara Tomy as part of the Burst System as well as the Dynamite Battle Layer System and the Burst Ultimate Layer Series. It debuted in Japan with the release of the B-203 Ultimate Fusion DX Set in Japan in October 8th, 2022.
Description
Xplosion is an Attack Type Performance Tip that features a rubber six-pointed star tip, akin to Jolt, under a free-spinning plate that sits at a standard height, akin to Destroy. It is essentially a combination of the two aforementioned Performance Tips, although the six spikes protrude towards the left rather than the right. The direction of Xplosion's six spikes are meant to, in theory, create greater speeds in right-spin Combinations. In practice however, there is little discernible difference in movement speed between left-spin and right-spin.
Due to the surface area to friction ratio, Xplosion will create aggressive, and if launched with a Banking Shoot, controllable movement patterns. Its aggressive and high speed allows for strong attacks and its high friction decreases the likelihood of losing a Banking Pattern during battle.
Like Destroy, Xplosion has a free-spinning plate that is meant to stabilize a Xplosion Combination if it is knocked off balance. The free-spinning plate accomplishes this by creating a second point of contact with minimal Stamina loss due to its free-spinning nature. Unlike other Performance Tips with similar gimmicks such as Guard, the low placement of the free-spinning plate ensures that the gimmick works as intended.
While Xplosion has poor Stamina from the rubber tip, the free-spinning nature of the plate grants Xplosion high Life-After-Death (LAD) which can allow Combinations to potentially Out-Spin their opponent.
