Gear Ball Overview
Gear Ball is a stamina bit with a wide ball tip whose gears extend all the way down to the tip. It keeps most of Ball's stamina but the longer gears catch the X-Line much more easily, so a hard launch or a knock can send it into a surprisingly strong Xtreme Dash.
Strengths
- + High stamina potential, close to regular Ball
- + Extended gears make its Xtreme Dashes faster and more powerful
- + Can turn a defensive game into a surprise KO when knocked onto the X-Line
- + Wide tip keeps it reasonably stable
Weaknesses
- − More aggressive and less predictable than Ball, so it wanders out of the safe center
- − Accidental Xtreme Dashes burn stamina it wanted to save
- − Riding the X-Line adds self-KO risk a pure stamina bit should not have
Gear Ball shipped on WizardArrow 4-80GB and fits stamina blades on taller ratchets like 4-80. Launch softer and flat to play a pure outspin game, or launch hard to let it ride the X-Line and threaten dash KOs. In a 3v3 it is a stamina slot with a hidden attack button, best when you want your outspinner to punch back.
