But when they were finnished I decided to throw a few explanations in here and make it a Blade Builder Guide.

The idea is to simulate real beyblade battles with a few additions to bridge the gap between reality and the cartoon TV series. So in order to simulate a beyblade battle the game uses a model of how the blade works. This model consists of 7 known attributes that affect how well the blade performs. These attributes are named approprietly as follows: Attack Defence Endurance Health Points (HP) Mobility Spin Spin Velocity Acceleration All attributes get their values from the combined values of all parts of the blade, except for Spin, Spin Velocity and Acceleration which gets its values from the launcher in use. ## 1.1 ## The Attributes """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" Here I'll describe the different attributes, although they seem to be pretty much self-explanatory. Generally the higher the value of an attribute the better the blade is in that particular field. Attack - Decides how much damage you do to an opponent blade when bumping into it. Defence - Decides how well you can repel incomming attacks. Endurance - Decides the speed of witch your Spin Velocity decreases. Health Points - More commonly shortened to HP, this value represents the structural integrity of your blade. At the start of a free battle or tournament its value is equal to your defence attribute, then during the tournament or free battle it will decrease as you sustain damage from opponent attacks. When this value reaches zero or below your blade breaks apart. Mobility - Decides how fast your blade can go. Spin - Shows wich direction your blade turns/spins. Spin Velocity - Shows how fast your blade is currently spinning, measured in SPM (spins per minute). Acceleration - Can be either A, B or c. ##### # 2 # Part Guide #####""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" In this section you'll find information about individual beyblade parts aswell as tables with all parts in the game with their respective statistics (stats). To understand these tables here is an explanaition of the different columns: Attack = Atk Defence = Def Endurance = End Mobility = Mob Spin = Spin Spin Velocity = Spm Acceleration = Acc ^- These are the obvious ones and have been explained above. Cst = Cost - The cost of the part in Bey Points, if stated at the bottom of a table the cost applies to all parts in the table. Total = Ttl - The sum of Atk, Def and End attributes Total Cost = Ttl Cst - The cost of all the parts in the table Atk + Def = A+D - The sum of Atk and Def Atk + End = A+E - The sum of Atk and End Def + End = D+E - The sum of Def and End * = Special Property that will be explained at the bottom of the table. Thats it, and for those of you who wonder where the HP stats disapeared to the reason is that HP is always equal to Def in the beginning of a free battle or tournament. And for you who have just started playing and you want to buy every part in the game, you might want to know what your in for. If this is true for you then read the rest of this section ;) Depending on what blade you chose from the start, this is how much bey points you have to earn in order to get every beyblade part into your possesion: Dragoon S: 4720 Bey Points! Dranzer S: 4780 Bey Points! This translates to 59 tournaments with Dragoon S (59.75 with Dranzer S), counting that you'll loose the finals all the time to get 20 bey points for the loss. 59 tournaments will also translate to 413 matches. Or you could just earn all your points through Free Battle which would mean a total of 472 matches (for Dragoon S. 478 for Dranzer S) counting on you winning all of them ofcourse. ;) ## 2.1 ## Bit Chip """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" The smallest part on your blade though very important as it houses the soul of a mythical beast. This beast - more commonly refered to as the Bit Beast - add various qualitys to your blade not through physical design but through mystical powers. The bit beast is also able to emerge and use its power to attack in a battle. Some bit beasts can even perform a special launch to increase the whole blades power. =[Bit Chips]=-|>Atk<|>Def<|>End<|>Mob<|>Cst<|>Ttl<|#| Dragoon | 30 | 10 | 10 | 20 | 200 | 50 |*| Dranzer | 25 | 10 | 10 | 20 | 200 | 45 |*| Draciel | 15 | 30 | 30 | 0 | 150 | 75 |#| Driger | 30 | 5 | 5 | 20 | 150 | 40 |#| Galeon | 25 | 10 | 10 | 15 | 150 | 45 |#| Wolborg | 20 | 20 | 20 | 0 | 150 | 60 |#| Trygle | 15 | 20 | 15 | 10 | 150 | 50 |#| Griffon | 30 | 0 | 0 | 20 | 150 | 30 |#| Kid Dragoon | 25 | 5 | 5 | 15 | 100 | 35 |*| Knight Dranzer| 20 | 10 | 10 | 15 | 100 | 40 |*| ------------------------------------->Ttl Cst: 1500<- * These bit chips can do a special launch. ## 2.2 ## Attack Ring """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" This part is responsible for dealing and deflecting damaging blows from an opponent. Depending on the design, an attack ring can be good for different strategies. The stats on these parts is meant to represent their physical form, because of this some attack rings have different values for left and right spin. As you can imagine if an attack ring has its spikes pointing to the left it will have more attack power when spinning to the left, while in a right spin it will have more defence. -----------------------=[Attack Rings]=----------------------- -->Right Spin<---|>Atk<|>Def<|>End<|#|>A+D<|>A+E<|>D+E<|>Ttl<| Dual Dragoon | 55 | 85 | 55 |*| 140 | 110 | 140 | 195 | Flame Wing | 55 | 85 | 60 |#| 140 | 115 | 145 | 200 | Eight Spikes | 35 | 65 | 45 |#| 100 | 80 | 110 | 145 | Cross Fang | 40 | 60 | 40 |#| 100 | 80 | 100 | 140 | Roaring Lion | 65 | 70 | 50 |*| 135 | 115 | 120 | 185 | Upper Wolf | 40 | 70 | 40 |*| 110 | 80 | 110 | 150 | Triple Wing | 45 | 80 | 60 |*| 125 | 105 | 140 | 185 | Cross Griffon | 55 | 100 | 70 |*| 155 | 125 | 170 | 225 | Reverse Dragon | 35 | 75 | 45 |*| 110 | 80 | 120 | 155 | Double Wing | 50 | 65 | 45 |*| 115 | 95 | 110 | 160 | -->Left Spin<----|>Atk<|>Def<|>End<|#|>A+D<|>A+E<|>D+E<|>Ttl<| Dual Dragoon | 65 | 75 | 55 |#| 140 | 120 | 130 | 195 | Roaring Lion | 50 | 85 | 50 |#| 135 | 100 | 135 | 185 | Upper Wolf | 50 | 60 | 40 |#| 110 | 90 | 100 | 150 | Triple Wing | 50 | 75 | 60 |#| 125 | 110 | 135 | 185 | Cross Griffon | 60 | 95 | 70 |#| 155 | 130 | 165 | 225 | Reverse Dragon | 55 | 55 | 45 |#| 110 | 100 | 100 | 155 | Double Wing | 40 | 75 | 45 |#| 115 | 85 | 120 | 160 | -->Difference<---|>Atk<|>Def<|---------------->Ttl Cst: 1000<- Dual Dragoon | +10 | -10 | Roaring Lion | -15 | +15 | Upper Wolf | +10 | -10 | Triple Wing | +5 | -5 | Cross Griffon | +5 | -5 | Reverse Dragon | +20 | -20 | Double Wing | -10 | +10 | ->Cst: 100<------------------- * These attack rings have different values when spinning left. ## 2.3 ## Weight Disk """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" The purpose of these Weight Disks is to add mass (weight) to the blade and thus allowing it to spin longer and attack harder. As there are just a few weight disks in the game there is not much to say. Though even if you might think that 8 Balance is the best and should always be used I have to say that the lower stats of 8 Heavy can be prefered in some cases when you don't want much Mobility. However 8 Wide is pretty useless. =[Weight Disks]=-|>Atk<|>Def<|>End<|>Mob<|>Ttl<| 8 Wide | 25 | 25 | 10 | 10 | 60 | 8 Heavy | 25 | 30 | 15 | 0 | 70 | 8 Balance | 25 | 35 | 20 | 10 | 80 | ->Cst: 30<----------------------->Ttl Cst: 210<- ## 2.4 ## Spin Gear """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" You use Spin Gears with Blade Bases that don't already have a spin gear on it. In this game there are only 3 blade bases that require a spin gear. And because all the other blades are right spinners only, the 3 gear-less blade bases can spin left with a Left Spin Gear. Other than that it is safe to say that there is no reason to use the non-MB spin gears, unless you want to build a weak blade that is. =[Spin Gears]=------|>Atk<|>Def<|>End<|>Cst<|>Ttl<| Right Spin Gear | 10 | 30 | 20 | 50 | 60 | Left Spin Gear | 10 | 30 | 20 | 50 | 60 | R-Spin Gear with MB | 15 | 40 | 30 | 70 | 85 | L-Spin Gear with MB | 15 | 40 | 30 | 70 | 85 | ------------------------------------>Ttl Cst: 290<- ## 2.5 ## Blade Base """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" Together with the attack ring the Blade Base stands for the most of the blades properties. Many blade bases usually comes with a certain gimmick, like with the Fortress Base that has a metal ball as its tip, this will give it extra endurance but will lessen the mobility of the blade. The main purpose of the blade base is that it decides a large part of the speed the blade has, well actually its the tip that affect the mobility of the blade but its a part of the blade base. Anyway these tips and gimmicks are (as with the attack rings) represented by the attribute values and is not really simulated. As mentioned in 2.4 there are only 3 blade bases that don't have a spin gear - which you have to add by yourself - and as all the other blade bases with gears are right spinners these 3 blade bases are the only ones that are able to spin left. Also because the non-gear blade bases always must have a gear to work I have listed them at the bottom with the additional attribute values from the gear, and because of that I also added how much a blade base and a MB gear costs at the bottom. =[Blade Bases]=------|>Atk<|>Def<|>End<|>Mob<|#|>A+D<|>A+E<|>D+E<|>Ttl<| Phantom Grip Base | 110 | 60 | 45 | 60 |*| 170 | 155 | 105 | 215 | Flame Change Base | 85 | 65 | 105 | 50 |#| 150 | 190 | 170 | 255 | Fortress Base | 80 | 100 | 125 | 35 |#| 180 | 205 | 225 | 305 | Full Auto-Clutch Base| 120 | 70 | 95 | 55 |#| 190 | 215 | 165 | 285 | SG Semi-Flat Base | 100 | 70 | 90 | 45 |*| 170 | 190 | 160 | 260 | Defense Grip Base 2 | 90 | 100 | 145 | 35 |#| 190 | 235 | 245 | 335 | Jumping Base | 95 | 60 | 100 | 30 |#| 155 | 195 | 160 | 255 | Griffolyon Base | 100 | 50 | 100 | 40 |#| 150 | 200 | 150 | 250 | Storm Grip Base | 90 | 60 | 60 | 45 |*| 150 | 150 | 120 | 210 | Spiral Change Base | 80 | 70 | 115 | 30 |#| 150 | 195 | 185 | 265 | ->With Gear<---------|>Atk<|>Def<|>End<|>Mob<|#|>A+D<|>A+E<|>D+E<|>Ttl<| Phantom Grip Base | 125 | 100 | 75 | 60 |#| 225 | 200 | 175 | 300 | SG Semi-Flat Base | 115 | 110 | 120 | 45 |#| 225 | 235 | 230 | 345 | Storm Grip Base | 105 | 100 | 90 | 45 |#| 205 | 195 | 190 | 295 | ->Cst: 150/(220 /w Spin Gear)<-------------------------->Ttl Cst: 1500<| * These blade bases comes without spin gear which needs to be bought separately. ## 2.6 ## Launcher """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" The launcher you use decides the spin velocity and the acceleration. Or more exactly its you who decide the spm when you let it rip, the launcher just provides the range that you can get. More info to come. Funny little note is that they made a typo on the Sniper Grip so ingame you'll see the Sriper Grip ;) =[Launchers]=---------|>Min Spm<|>Max Spm<|> Spin<|>Acc<|>Cst<| Ez Launcher | 3000 | 6000 | Right | c | 50 | Reverse Launcher | 2500 | 6500 | Left | c | 50 | Ez Launcher Grip | 3000 | 7000 | Right | B | 70 | Reverse Launcher Grip | 2500 | 7655 | Left | B | 70 | Sriper/(Sniper) Grip | 3000 | 7210 | Right | A | 80 | Catapult Grip | 4000 | 8000 | Right | c | 80 | Dragoon DX Launcher | 3000 | 10 000 | Left | A | 100 | Dranzer DX Launcher | 3265 | 10 000 | Right | A | 100 | Driger DX Launcher | 3000 | 10 000 | Right | A | 100 | ------------------------------------------------>Ttl Cst: 700<- ##### # 3 # Top Combinations #####""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" This section contains the most powerfull blade combinations in every strategy.
