**Xcalius X4 1' Sword**, known as **Buster Xcalibur 1' Sword** (バスターエクスカリバー・ワンダッシュ・ソード, *Basutā Ekusukaribā Wandasshu Sōdo*) in Japan, is an Attack Type Beyblade released as part of the Burst System as well as the Cho-Z Layer System. It was released as a Starter in Japan on August 11th, 2018 for 1512円

## Energy Layer - Xcalius X4

*Main article: Energy Layer -* Xcalius is a powerful Attack type with 2 SwitchStrike gimmicks: it includes an extending metal sword (the tip is covered in plastic to prevent it from cracking the opponent's Layer) that can be extended into "Breaker Mode" for even more damage at the cost of even more lost balance & stamina. The second gimmick is the classic Xcalius gimmick: the closer it is to bursting, the more weight is put on the sword for the most damage when it is about to burst, similarly to Arc Balkesh 2Bump Atomic's Final Crash & Final Guard, & Nightmare Luinor's Dragon Crash (please add link to Arc Balkesh 2Bump Atomic & Nightmare Luinor Destroy I don't know how. Erase this once you do). This allows it to do Triple Saber when in Normal Mode, Tetra Saber when in Breaker Mode (and also Tetra Saber in Normal Mode & Penta Saber in Breaker Mode with the Dagger Disk frame if Hasbro makes that, not sure), The sides have contact points too, & faces. Not even a Level Chip will completely solve these problems, but it will help.

## Forge Disc - 1'

*Main article: Forge Disc - 1'*
**1'**, like other odd-numbered Core Discs, is asymmetrical and elliptical in order to facilitate a Disc Frame. One side features two small sword-tip like protrusions and the other side features the same protrusions along with a single, larger protrusion of the same shape. **1'**'s gimmick, like its predecessor 1, is that it is highly unbalanced, it achieves this by having the side with the larger protrusion being more filled in with metal than the other, akin to Quarter. This weight distribution has two primary uses: The first is to increase the Burst Attack of Attack Combinations by generating momentum like a flail which is further enhanced by the heavyweight of **1'**. The second is to make a Combination using an unbalanced Layer such as Buster Xcalibur more properly balanced by aligning the heavier side opposite the heavier side of the Layer which increases Stamina and Burst resistance. A use specific for the Xcalius line is to make the Layer more balanced, then when it's about to burst, it can use it's respective special move. (Dual Sabers, Triple Saber, Tetra Saber & Penta Saber)

Compared to Quarter, **1'** has greater success in Attack Combinations and has proven capable of increasing the rate of Bursts. However, the same imbalance makes **1'** unsuitable for Stamina or Defense as the more unbalanced a Combination is, the easier it is to Burst and the faster it loses Stamina. Furthermore, the imbalance slows down Mobile Attack Combinations, making it better suited for Stationary Attack Combinations.

Compared to 1, **1'** is slightly heavier which theoretically creates a greater unbalanced effect and greater synergy with the Xcalius/Xcalibur line of Layers. In practice, the only minimal weight increase does not noticeably affect performance compared to its predecessor. When Breaker Xcalius has the Dagger frame on the **1'** disc it has even greater attacks at the cost of even more lost balance & stamina.

## Performance Tip - Sword *Main article: Performance Tip - Sword*

**Sword** features a wide, metal, six-pointed star tip, akin to a combination of Iron, Assault, and Jaggy. Due to the shape and surface area, **Sword** will create a highly aggressive movement pattern with speeds comparable to Assault. However, the rough perimeter, low friction of the metal, and wide diameter of the tip makes it difficult for **Sword** to maintain a banking pattern and creates relatively poor Stamina despite the metal construction, making **Sword** ill-suited for Tornado Stalling Combinations as well.

Furthermore, **Sword** features two sword-like protrusions on either side. Due to the height of the Burst System, no Combination can come into contact with the protrusions, and they instead create a severe scrape risk, nullifying Life After Death potential. When paired with the Xcalibur line of Layers, the protrusions are meant to line up with the Layer's sword point to increase Attack potential. However, the protrusions are too small to have any noticeable effect. When xcalias spins it ganes energy and hits the opponent with the sword doing damage and knockback and ring out finish.

Finally, **Sword** is taller than most other Performance Tips which further reduces Attack potential as most Attack Type benefit from being at lower heights.

## Trivia

* Like its predecessors Xcalius X2 Magnum Impact and Xcalius X3 1 Iron, Xcalius X4's Japanese name, Buster Xcalibur, is based on the word "buster", a thing that breaks, destroys, or overpowers something, and from the legendary sword Excalibur from Arthurian tales.
* Like Xcalius X3 1 Iron, Xcalius X4's avatar is an armored humanoid wielding a large blade. The only difference, however, is that Xcalius X4's avatar is a full humanoid, not like Xcalius X3's, which was a sword that transformed into a humanoid.
* Unlike its predecessors, Xcalius X4 is wielded by a new character named Xavier Bogard, Xander Shakadera's apprentice in *Beyblade Burst Turbo*, instead of Xander Shakadera himself, who only helped create it. Xavier then named it Xcalius in honor of Xander's Bey.
* Similar to how Xcalius X3 was created in the anime, Xcalius X4 was forged into a sword then created into a Beyblade.
* In the *Turbo* anime, Xcalius X4 possesses a gold Level Chip.
* X4 is the first Xcalius to:
* Not be owned by Xander Shakadera.
* Have 3 Saber moves.
