One problem with Leon crest is that it's middle part is really loose. On my Leon crest it was busting every 2 battles, and I don't think they made it tight enough. Overall solid bey, but too burst prone.
I got a keel shark (single pack) that was super loose on the attack ring where the fake rivets or screw things go into the plastic, you can pull up a bit there (on both sides) and the ratchet going in is really loose, no way to tighten that since it’s just the mold (or perhaps the looseness of the plastic and metal is causing it?) cause I got the green shark 2 pack and it is in perfect condition compared to the single purple. I got the purple from Walmart (and a chain incendio too that’s loose) and the green shark (and more that aren’t lose) from target
gear needle is made to be loser than the attack bits so it should be a defect because the middle part doesn't control the burst resistance. the bit controls the resistance
Leon Crest while not perfect,TT should go more into the direction of this Bey for Defense. I think they made the perfect Bey thats while an improvement to Leon Claw and Defense Types in general isnt too overpowered like a Wizard Rod situation So Im very pleased with it. Awesome unboxing Jake! Hopefully you get it and do Aero Pegasus
Current Defense typing is a response to what happened in MF where so many defense wheels became viable as attack wheels simply due to weight despite less aggressive designs(also why attack types are the heaviest now). The result being TT making all of the X defense types lighter and focused on “count attack” and evasion as opposed to being brick walls. Getting defense types around 35-36g is probably optimal if attack types stay around 37-38 imo
I have to say it is intentional that defense Beys in Beyblade X are unbalanced because the way to launch these Beys is not straight, but rather you have to launch the Beys at an angle, that's because these Beys are also launched at an angle in the anime because the top of the Beys is more like a shield
I wonder why this isn't even being talked about much when it was pretty obvious that defense types in X are supposed to be launched at an angle. Tbh, the only issues with the defense types of X are the weight and the bits having a low burst resistance
@@TimoBorkowski they said on X that one of the people that were working on designs are trying to make it look like it is in the anime, but need new launch cords in able to replicate it, since it's hard for. It to just stay at an angle when launching.
I say over all the bit is holding Crest back, as it tips easily and don't nothing to prevent it from moving. So interms of the balance, I say go for a bit like Orb, and in terms of tanking, something like Hexa
Hexa gives it laughably bad stamina - it gets outspun by attack types. I've also tried Ball and Disc Ball and they have the same problem with tipping over too easily since Crest is top heavy. There's a short on my channel about this
@bntrs That is true. I saw 1234Beyblade's video on it. He did use a lot of "outlier beys" that are part of the competitve meta in his Leon Crest, but one thing was apparent, and it's that stamina is one of its weaknesses. That, and a lot of defence types get spin finished from attack types due to how pointy their bits are.
@@bntrs I've found Point, Gear Point, and Unite to be really good on LeonCrest especially for defeating WizardRod. Hexa kept getting ruined by the top heaviness and quickly dropped that idea too
I really like the look of this blade and ratchet. In burst I loved defense beys and was really disappointed with how theyve been in X so far, with a different bit I imagine a good stamina/defense combo would be a good possibility
Try giving your defense types of slight tilt when you launch them, I do that with my black shell against the shark edge I have and it's able to get some pretty solid wins
Does no one realize that Leon Claw is pays homage to the Metsl fight Fang Leon, The guy who uses Claw looks like Kiyoya, the lion on the bey looks like the OG, it's just sad that it wasn't as good as Fang Leon, good to see the UX is better now
TT follows the (manga/story) and everything about it that’s why they don’t just add random pieces bc it would throw some off the concept it was built around and add confusion I’m guessing
Hey nuc my dagger dran and tusk mammoth blades are like not screwed in fully together or something, should i be worried? Like i mean the plastic and metal aren't screwed in fully together
@@nuc a bit at times yeah, I've seen that the screws actually never got anymore loose so maybe it was always like that but I'm just a bit worried for em
7-60. I had high hopes. I really hate this unbalance on purpose. It started in Burst, that why I do not really like the burst era as a whole. This does not make the battles more exciting, but unpredictable.
I've actually had some of the worst luck with this as a defence bey. Actually worse than shell or knight lance. Maybe it's just me but the recoil and instability seems pretty rough. Quite like 7-60 though.
TT could've given us a new Defense Bit or Dot at least, but they gave us the Gear Needle. IMO, this is their (scummy) strategy for people to buy more Beyblades if you wanna replace that part you didn't like, like Cobalt Dragoon for its 2-60 that makes everyone wanna replace it by buying other Beys.
I wish Some UA-camrs would do combo videos. I cant find any. Cuz what would happen and how would it work if Leon Crest blade was on 9-60 Rachet with DB bit? Like having each beyblade have all the combination of parts from all other beyblades and review them and rate them or rank them or something. But I wont know how my build idea works unless its used 🤷🏾♂️
@nuc I've tried searching for them am i not wording things correctly? I'm sorta a returning new person to beyblade. I used to play with my friends when i was younger with the original what ppl are referring to plastic gen. When it first came out. Tried getting back into it in 2013/2014 (i remember that cuz i had twisted tempo) still didnt battle competitively. But I'm thinking bout getting into it and trying the competitive scene. I just hope I won't be the oldest player at seems like everyone I've seen in vids are in 20's and I'm 33 🤷🏾♂️
I like how in beyblade x every evolution has the same avatar just on a different angle, which kind of reflects how, as long as I know, no evolution in meant to replace the previous one in the anime but rather focusing on another aspect of it
Yep, its kind of being side grade. Like X still has both dagger and sword with him even though he got buster. Same with bird and multi, hells line, knight line and wizard line can still be used if necessary, depending on the opponents. Sometimes even they changed types, like this Leon Crest and Phoenix Rudder.
Leon Crest stock is actually pretty good if you launch and use it correctly (Absolutely as hard as you can pull, spinning at an angle, and aimed around the middle). I've had no problem surviving hits from Phoenix Wing with Leon Crest - but the community hates Defense types irrationally so I'm speaking to closed ears.

Yeah I think you got a defect mate. I got 3 and two of them have only burst once each. So far.
Even with a high resistance bit like Hexa for example?

Well... Ghost Circle looks to be pretty bad because its 25g.
This was the perfect Bey to release a wide ball bit but it’s cool I guess we’ll just miss out
Oh lord… wide ball would be insane
@nuc I don't know why they didn't as rock leon had a ball style tip...just seemed like the direction to go.
nah balls be stamina (unless we get a rubber ball which i highly doubt would be stamina type)
@@nucwait till we get ball flat
a heavily used Rubber Accel (the outer rubber is mostly depleted) may be a perfect bit for LeonCrest
Hexa could work on it, provided you also replace the ratchet with a 5-60. If you'd want to retain the ratchet, High Needle is (so far) the go-to bit.
I really like the look of this blade and ratchet. In burst I loved defense beys and was really disappointed with how theyve been in X so far, with a different bit I imagine a good stamina/defense combo would be a good possibility
gonna say it. best video review of leoncrest.
Thanks!!
The blue phoenix looked ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Damn! My friend got one and in the first match with Phoenix Wing he got shattered. Like actually split apart
Try giving your defense types of slight tilt when you launch them, I do that with my black shell against the shark edge I have and it's able to get some pretty solid wins
Where do you get a blue phoenix? I need it! 4:59
Idk if u alr found out, but im pretty sure its black shell's random booster
@ yeah I already found out, still thanks.
Make it a left spin in a random booster with a rubber sharp like tip. Or add rubber in the layer
That one slight protrusion could also be for counter-attack potential

Leon crest is a good alternative to wizard rod because you don't have to forfit a point yet
Love it for the people who havent gotten their MoT orders shipped from even a month ago
Are you waiting on Cobalt? If so those are on a weird back order because of the supplier.
If you message me on Instagram I can try and help!!
0:26 to 0:31 Tell that to burst Resistance
there is also a third downside for defense thpes that being too recoily instead of a bit circular.
literally only 2 of them
If they do something like gear hex or if you threw a gear ball on this I bet that’d be good
I bought 2 of them and one of my ratchets is super loose compared to the other.
7-60 reminds me of the wall piece off of Cho z spriggan
My crest arrives -this Monday- today, and I'm excited. Gonna get whale wave and add the bit to crest. Chonk meta is my meta.
Or Gear Ball.
I ordered one today and I'm gonna put Hexa on it. Elevate gets knocked out too easily. Not good for a defense type.
Leon crest inherited fang leones recoil🗿
I wanna add disc ball also what do you mean leon claw is good just have to know how to use it

Didn’t think of that, just tried and now it’s much better thanks.
i think that leon crest will have the poison serpent syndrome
I'm surprised that he used Black Shell as an example and not Shinobi Shadow.
Shinobi is just horrible, that literally everything is better. Meanwhile shield and black shell have more success in combos.

illinuc forgot to bey Shinobi Shadow, one of the worst UX Beys and in all honesty it's truly a pass for everyone
i know the gear needle is meant for like extreme dashes so maybe they made it recoily to utalize that a bit more idk tho
Yeah I think thats pretty likely ,they coulda toned in down a little bit though. I woulda liked a entirely new Bit.
I am like number 358
Left spin Leon Crest when? 👀
