Under Needle Overview
Under Needle is Needle lowered by 2mm, and that tiny drop is its whole trick: the ratchet sits so low that opponents can barely reach it, giving strong burst resistance even on risky ratchets. The sharp tip still holds the center with good stamina, but it tips over easily once struck.
Strengths
- + Very low height hides the ratchet, giving excellent practical burst resistance
- + Sharp tip holds a quiet, centered spin with solid stamina
- + Makes normally burst-prone ratchets like 1-60 safe to run
- + Hard for opponents to get under it
Weaknesses
- − Poor KO resistance; the sharp tip gives up ground once destabilized
- − Cannot right itself after a hard hit, unlike ball-type tips
- − Purely passive with no attack of its own
Under Needle debuted on GolemRock 1-60UN, and its best results come from stamina builds like Clock Mirage 4-55UN, where the low height cancels the ratchet's burst weakness. Launch flat to plant it in the center and dare attackers to burst what they cannot reach. In a 3v3 it is a defense-leaning slot aimed specifically at burst-heavy opponents.
