Gear Flat Overview
Gear Flat is an attack bit whose gears extend down the tip, widening it by about 0.9mm. That extra contact makes it more aggressive than Flat, easier to hook onto the X-Line, and faster in the dash, but wilder to control and hungrier for stamina.
Strengths
- + One of the hardest-hitting single Xtreme Dashes of any BX bit
- + Extended gears grab the X-Line very easily
- + More raw attack power than regular Flat
Weaknesses
- − Unpredictable and hard to control compared to Flat or Rush
- − Usually only lands one big dash, then struggles to ride the X-Line again
- − Poor stamina means the battle is lost if the early hits miss
- − Real self-KO risk on an over-aggressive launch
Gear Flat suits heavy smash blades that want to end the battle in the first seconds. Launch hard and flat, aim the opening Xtreme Dash, and accept that it is a one-big-swing tip. In a 3v3 it is a high-risk attack slot to bring out against stationary defense or stamina targets.
