## Ring - Tempest

*Main article: Ring - Tempest*
*"A right-spin Attack Type Ring that flips the opponent with four large and small bound blades, and when the bound blade moves to its maximum point, it becomes fixed and enters its Awakened mode."*

— Official Description

Takara Tomy's **Tempest** is a right-spin Attack Type Ring that features an "Awakening" feature as its main gimmick. **Tempest** features two front blades as well as two rear upper blades, similar to its predecessor, Ace. The original B-171 release of **Tempest** features rainbow stickers, referencing Rainbow-Flux.

Like its predecessor the Imperial Base, **Tempest** features an "Awakening" gimmick, with it being able to transform into its "Bound Mode" and later into its "Ultimate Form". **Tempest** features 4 bound blades. In Bound Mode, the wings are hidden beneath the Ring, the long bound blades are spring loaded, and can be used to perform bound attacks, similar to God Valkyrie's spring blades. To enter Awakened Mode, the front short bound blades have to be pushed out and will lock in places. When the two front blades have been pushed out, the rear long bound blades will follow along and lock in place with the front short bound blades due to its internal mechanisms. However, the two front bound blades are not connected with each other and can only be pushed out individually. In Awakened Mode, the **Tempest** Ring features a much more aggressive design compared to **Tempest** in Bound Mode. In theory, this was supposed to drastically increased **Tempest'**s Attack power. However in real life, the bound blades do not have enough Attack power to consistently knock out its opponents, a must have ability for a competitive Attack Type ring. Plus, the bound blades would be pushed back to bound mode if the front bound blade creates a heavy impact against its opponent, meaning that its Attack power is limited. Furthermore, the rear bound blades do not feature designs as aggressive as the front bound blades, and the front bound blades have limited Attack power due to the possibility of being pushed back into Bound Mode.

Despite being advertised as an Attack Ring, **Tempest'**s real potential lies in Stamina and Stamina-Defense hybrid combinations. In Bound Mode, **Tempest** has an extremely round shape, the rear long bound blades can nullify attacks due to its spring loading gimmick. Besides, **Tempest** is more heavier than other rings that excel in Stamina and Defense combos such as World, Infinite (with the Infinite Shield) or Curse, which increases its endurance capabilities and stability. **Tempest** is also usable in Balance type combos, but it excels in Stamina combos.

## Forge Disc - Wheel

*Main article: Forge Disc - Wheel (Takara Tomy)*
*"A Stamina Type Disc with a heavy weight and a shape with the center of gravity on the circumference to maximize centrifugal force."*

— Official Description

**Wheel** is a symmetrical, circular Forge Disc and is one of the heaviest Discs, with an ideal weight distribution for all Combinations. It has four gaps intended to increase Outward Weight Distribution (OWD) and consequently its Stamina potential. The circular perimeter of the design also increases Life-After-Death (LAD). The round design of **Wheel** leads to the highest Stamina and Life-After-Death of any Forge Disc, outclassing the likes of Outer and Core Disc/Disc Frame combinations. Its heavy weight also grants it high Attack and Defense potential.

## Performance Tip - High Xtend+'

*Main article: Performance Tip - High Xtend+'*
*"A Balance Type Driver with a reinforced spring and increased attacking power. A Driver that can switch between Attack, Defense, and Stamina modes, depending on the opponent."*

— Official Description

Takara Tomy's **High Xtend+'** is a High and Dash Driver variant of Xtend+, featuring a taller height than the standard Performance Tip, as well as increased Burst Resistance due to a stronger spring. Like its regular counterpart, **High Xtend+'** features the adjustable **Xtend Chip** (エクステンドチップ, *Ekusutendo Chippu*) tip with three modes: Attack, Defense and Stamina.

The Attack Mode features a wide, hollow flat tip, wider than Assault and akin to Zephyr at the standard height of most Performance Tips. Due to the surface area of this mode, **High Xtend+'** will create a highly aggressive movement pattern with speeds greater than Assault. However, the wide diameter of the tip makes it difficult to maintain a banking pattern and creates relatively low Stamina, making the mode poorly suited for both traditional Attack and Tornado Stalling Combinations.

The Defense Mode features a low angle, stepped cone tip at the standard height of most Performance Tips. Due to the stepped cone, when an **High Xtend+'** Combination is struck and reaches higher on the Stadium's slope, the flat edge of the tip will create a second point of contact, briefly increasing friction and aggression to both slow down the Combination and counterattack. However, due to the edge of the tip being made of plastic rather than rubber like in Unite and smooth rather than tabbed like in Defense, the effect of the second point of contact is minimal, creating poor Knock-Out Resistance.

The Stamina Mode features a low angle cone tip, akin to Trans' Stamina Mode at a lower height than most Performance Tips. Due to the low friction, **High Xtend+'** creates excellent Stamina. Of the three modes, the Stamina Mode has the best performance.

In all three modes, the tip's low angled base and wide diameter grant **High Xtend+'** high Life-After-Death potential, comparable to Eternal, Atomic and Bearing.
