Template:Infobox:HWS
Ray Striker D125CS (original version: Ray Unicorno D125CS) is an good Attack-Type Beyblade that appears in the anime and manga series, Beyblade: Metal Masters. It was released in Japan on April 1, 2010, worldwide in May 2011. It's owned by Masamune Kadoya and its upgraded version is Blitz Striker 100RSF. It's recoloring is silver horns a darker energy ring and facebolt and lighter tip and spin track
Face Bolt: Striker I
Striker Facebolt
The Face Bolt depicts "Monoceros", one of the 88 constellations in space. Monoceros is Greek for "unicorn" of which the Beyblade is based on. The design is of a unicorn's face outlined in yellow whilst on a translucent purple Face Bolt though a newer version is a unicorn's face outlined in silver whilst on dark gray purple face bolt.
Energy Ring:Striker/Unicorno I
Striker has three spikes around it which feature a bronze horn, this horn represents the main horn of a unicorn, Three smaller spikes appear bewtween each other spike going into a rightward motion. If you rotate it 180 degrees it would look like a mode change which can be done with certain fusion wheels such as Cyber.
Attack: 4 - Defense: 2 - Stamina: 1.
Template:Fusion Wheel: Ray
Attack-Type Customization
Ray Wheel
Unicorno can be used at it's best with a low Spin Track Bey like, Metal Face Bolt Ray Unicorno 100RF/R2F
Mold Variations
In a starter pack released by Takara Tomy.The first mold of Ray had breakage problems. In response to this, Takara Tomy fixed subsequent releases of Ray Unicorno which are less prone to breaking.
The Hasbro release of Ray does not have the small highlights of teal green as the Takara Tomy releases include. The protrusions also appear to be more rounded.
Attack: 4 - Defense: 1 - Stamina: 2
Template:Spin Track: D125
Attack-Type Customization
Defense 125 can be used on mid-height Attack-Type Fusion Wheels as, Metal Face Bolt Gravity Destroyer D125RF.
Defense-Type Customization
If you do not own any of the aforementioned Spin Tracks, Defense 125 can be used in Metal Face Bolt-Heavy Earth Bull/Aquario D125RS/RSF/CS.
Stamina-Type Customization
- Burn/Thermal Bull/Libra/Leone D125D/SD/WD
D125 track
Attack-Type Customization
- Metal Face Quetzacoatl CH120CS
Defense-Type Customization
- Metal Face-Heavy Basalt Kerbecs BD145CS
Attack: 0 - Defense: 2 - Stamina: 1
Performance Tip: Coat Sharp
Coat Sharp is more like Rubber Flat Sharp or a variation of Rubber Flat, but with a Sharp tip coated in rubber hence the name, "Coat" Sharp. It is greatly chosen in Attack and Defense-Type combinations when launched, the Coat Sharp will have limited movement due to the Sharp tip, however, if it gets knocked off balance, it will act as a Rubber Flat and provide fast and chaotic movement. It usualy spins in the middle of a stadium on stadiums like Burning FireStrike and Bolt Blast. If used with a String Launcher, the Coat Sharp will move aggressively like a Rubber Flat but act as a Defense-Tip later due to the Sharp tip. Due to this, it is similar to the mechanism in Final Survive. Overall, Coat Sharp is a great Tip for Attack and Defense combinations and resembles a grey Rubber Flat but with a grey Sharp tip in the center of the red rubber. It is recommended to have multiple CS's because after the rubber wears out, it will not have much of an aggressive movement.
Mold Variations
The CS Performance Tips produced by Hasbro and SonoKong have both been discovered to have a lesser-defined Sharp axis than its Tomy-produced counterpart. This makes the Hasbro/SonoKong CS more aggressive, becoming even more so when the tip is worn down. A Beyblade equipped with this type of CS, especially in it's 'worn-down' condition, usually exhibits the aggressive behavior of an Attack-Type if any physical contact, while maintaining the casual behavior of a Stamina-Type otherwise.
- Use in Defense Customization
To put the CS's defensive capabilities to use, MF-H Basalt/Twisted Aquario BD145CS would be your prime choice.
Use in Balance Customization
Along with having great Stamina, the combo MF Hell/Hades Bull/Kerbecs BD145CS (Boost Mode) also has good Defense against Attackers which will be partially neutralized by both the wide, plastic "Boost Disk", and the rubber surrounding the sharp tip of CS.
Use in Attack Customization
If you happen to have an aggressive CS you can put it to use in the customization MF Lightning LDrago BD145CS.
Attack: 4 - Defense: 0 - Stamina: 3
Beast
Template:Beast
Ray Striker's Beast is a light green unicorn which can seemingly teleport by transforming itself into rays of green light, and reappearing elsewhere in the stadium. Masamune used this to trick Flame Libra in his tournament battle with Yu.
Special Moves
- Lightning Sword Flash : Ray Striker's first and only special move, It was first used in Beyblade: Metal Masters episode 2.
Trivia
- Ray Striker's Japanese release date was on April Fools' Day, which was also the day after 2 years when the Metal Fury series ended.
- Despite the official image, Ray Striker's Energy Ring has the "horns" colored goldish-bronze instead of orange.
- The stickers that go on the outside of the Ray fusion wheel can be applied and won't become scratched off during battle.
- Ray Striker comes in a different color in the Beyblade: Ultimate Gan Gan Galaxy Gift Set.
- This bey mixes attack and defense along with stamina to perform at maximized power.
- It is debatable that Ray Striker is a Balance-Type instead due to the CS.
- Ray Striker's counterpart in the original Beyblade is Unicolyon.
- CS becomes worn down after a while, and should not be used in a tournament setting.
- One of the probable reasons why Hasbro did not keep the original name of Ray Unicorno D125CS because some people may change the "c" in Unicorno to "p".
- The team GAN GAN Galaxy Ray Striker tends to have a more aggressive CS.
