Beyblade Battle Basics

Typically, the beyblades are designed in a way that one type of Beyblade doesn’t always win in a fight. Note that battle here refers to two or more Beyblades that are fighting each other in a stadium of beyblades. For example, “Attack” beyblades are specifically designed to defeat “Stamina” Beyblades, “Defense” beyblades win against “Attack” and “Stamina” beyblades win against “Defense”. The above scenario is a simplified generalization. However, actual battle results will vary depending on the type of beyblade you select.

Types Of Beyblades

“Attack” Beyblades are fun to watch as they go around the stadium (because of their design – but more on this in a separate article) and come towards the center to take on the opposing team. If you’re playing two attack Beyblades in a battle then the Beyblades may run into each other at the edge of the stadium following the initial contact for some period of time before they come in contact once more. An example of attack Beyblades is the whole collection of “Valkyrie”, Xcalibur, and “Hyperionthe “Hyperion” Beyblades.

“Stamina” Beyblades usually spin in the middle of the field and are not that exciting to watch, as “Attack” Beyblades. This boring behavior is however their best weapon. Although typically “Stamina” beyblades will lose against “Attack” Beyblades, a fight between “Stamina” beyblade Mirage Fafnir and “Attack” beyblade Brave Valkyrie is worth watching and the result may surprise you.

Another examples of “Stamina” Beyblades are all “Fafnir” and “Scythe Kronus”. The next stage is moving to the “Defense” Beyblade. These beyblades are usually located near the stadium’s central area, however they are not as restricted as “Stamina”. The battle between “Attack” beyblade like any Valkyrie and “Defense” Beyblades such as “King Helios” can be super exciting for kids due to the large number of touches between the beyblades during the battle and possible knock-outs.

Final words

It is important to remember another aspect when you pick Beyblades. Most beyblades are right spin. However, some beyblades may have left-spin. Launchers are not included with each beyblade. It is possible purchase an additional launcher. The outcome of a game depends on the launcher you choose to use and which Beyblade that you choose. Here is a table that outlines some examples of various types of Beyblades.

To get your beyblade journey beginning, think about purchasing two or three types of beyblades, including “Defense””Attack”, and “Stamina” for your kids and family members an experience of the different beyblades. Have fun.
