Hasbro's Tidal is a right-spin Attack Type QS Blade with a three-sided shape reminiscent of the Valtryek line of Layers. Tidal has three level wings as its main contact points, with tidal wave-like patterns on the top of the wings. Unlike the Valtryek line of Layers, Tidal has level wings rather than upward slanted wings, and is thus incapable of Upper Attack. Tidal is lighter than other similarly shaped Blades such as Salvage, and is thus outclassed. Like other QD and QS Blades, Tidal can switch between Apex and Core Modes by swapping the position of the Gravity Ring from the top of the QS Blade (Apex) to below it (Core).
Tidal is one of four "elemental" QS Blades, being the Attack Type QS Blade associated with the Water Element. The other elemental QS Blades are: Twister (Defense Type and Wind Element), Lightning (Stamina Type and Lightning Element), and Flame (Balance Type and Fire Element).
