High Taper Overview
High Taper is the taller version of Taper, a semi-flat tip with a center indent that moves aggressively while keeping far better stamina than a true flat. The extra height raises its center of gravity, pushing it into slightly more aggressive, slightly less stable behavior than regular Taper.
Strengths
- + Attack-capable movement with much better stamina than Flat
- + High burst resistance
- + Versatile in attack-versus-attack matchups
- + Extra height helps it hit down on lower opponents
Weaknesses
- − Higher center of gravity makes it easier to destabilize than Taper
- − Slightly worse than regular Taper at nearly everything, and both trail Rush and Kick
- − Not aggressive enough to beat true attack bits at KOs
High Taper shipped on the dual-height HellsChain 5-60HT, and it likes balance or attack blades on low ratchets that claw back some stability. Launch flat for controlled aggression that still has fuel late in the battle. In a 3v3 it is a safe, flexible middle slot when you want attack pressure without all-in risk.
