Quote:Eternal features a sharp tip of small diameter surrounded by a free-spinning ring made of PolyOxyMethylene (POM) thermoplastic, akin to a combination of Revolve and Bearing. The sharp tip of Eternal provides low friction with the stadium floor, resulting in high stamina and burst defense properties. While the small diameter of the sharp tip may imply easy destabilization, the wide diameter of the free-spinning ring helps maintain stability. The wide diameter of the ring also provides Eternal high procession time which is useful against opposite-spin and Mobile Stamina Customizations. However, due to the low friction of POM plastic, Eternal has less Knock-Out resistance compared to its predecessor Revolve.

Due to the use of Orbit and Atomic in the current metagame, Eternal is best suited for pure Stamina combinations---

Eternal is slightly shorter than most other Pre-Super Z Performance Tips. In theory, this is meant to prevent the opponent's Layer from striking the Eternal combination from below and destabilizing it, thus increasing Defense potential. In practice however, due to the design of the Burst System, this increases the chances of Disc-to-Layer contact and can potentially Burst the Eternal combination. Though the only minor reduction in height heavily mitigates the effect.

==Overall==

it looks so promising, i’m having that slight “oh no, this might be OP!” feeling...

which is definitely what you want to feel with a new beyblade announcement!!!

it might just be hype, but wow is TT in a roll

In the current metagame, Eternal is best suited for pure Stamina combinations due to the use of Atomic, akin to Revolve. While the POM ring may imply higher Life-After-Death potential, akin to Bearing, the lack of a bearing mechanism means that the POM construction has a negligible effect and that Life-After-Death is more dependent on how free-spinning the ring is.

Eternal's similarities to Revolve makes it an excellent Revolve alternative. However, the lack of a bearing mechanism makes Eternal a poor Bearing alternative as well.

As such, if one cannot obtain Revolve then Eternal is a must have, otherwise, Eternal is a welcome addition to any blader's collection.

Edit: Revolve is currently listed as an outclassed driver. How can Eternal be a must-have and yet be worse than an outclassed driver? That makes no sense.

Are you talking about Hasbro's Revolve? Cause that version is terrible. Revolve is still plenty competitive today especially against Atomic based combos

Maybe, but Eternal is better I think. At least it should be. It has far more stability and can outspin revolve.

How do u know Et outspins revolve? Have u tested it?

Highly unlikely. Eternal is the bearing drive of 4D. Sure EWD is powerful, but it's nowhere near B. Eternal is OP

Eternal is definitely not like B: D
It's basically a Revolve with a wider ring made of POM. I have yet to test its LAD yet but I'll try to get to it asap

From testing its precession (drivers dont have lad)  seems a bit less than atomic tho the main question that matters is does it outspin revolve in same spin consistently
