Gust Bat Overview
Gust Bat is a metal retool of Whale Wave with bat-wing texturing, keeping the same five-sided barrage shape and a hefty 36.2 gram weight. Like its base blade, it slams down rapid hits to destabilize and burst opponents but runs out of spin fast.
Strengths
- + Heavy for a balance blade at 36.2 grams
- + Five-sided barrage shape lands rapid destabilizing hits
- + Real burst and knockout pressure against many builds
- + GP bit in the stock combo feeds aggressive Xtreme Dash plays
Weaknesses
- − Low stamina, it has to win early
- − Tall stock 3-85 ratchet exposes the ratchet and raises burst risk
- − Identical contact points to Whale Wave, so it adds nothing new
Treat Gust Bat exactly like Whale Wave: rebuild it lower than its stock 3-85 height, on something like 3-60 or 5-60 with GB or a flat bit, and launch hard with a slight tilt so it hammers down on opponents. Chase quick bursts and knockouts against stamina and balance builds, and avoid long grinds. In a 3v3 deck it is an aggressive balance piece that hunts fast finishes.
