BB-104 Basalt Horogium 145WD (SonoKong Version)

Found a bey in one of the local comic store today...


BB-104 Basalt Horogium 145WD (SonoKong Ver.)

Basalt Metal Wheel
Notice that the MW has an irregular weight distribution.
This is to enable the Basalt MW to sightly wobble vertically to catch low opponent Bey under its 145 Track to deliver a "Smash Attack".

The "Smash Attack" is possible due to its heavy MW (48g) making it almost to tilt the bey when in rotation.


Overall the Basalt Horogium is 54g (Not the heaviest Bey Overall ^o^)

Bey Battle Test

Stamina Test
Basalt Horogium 145WD
3 Runs done in a Standard Stamina Stadium


Results follows:
1st Run = 1min 43sec
2nd Run = 2min 10sec
3rd Run = 2min 12sec

Overall, Basalt is not your typical Stamina type Bey.
It actually moves in a 'off-center' circular motion which probably affect its stamina performance.

Counter Test 
Basalt Horogium 145WD vs. Earth Ario 100WD
Attempt to test Counter Radius with minimum or no movement.

Results follows:
Counter Radius
Minimum 45mm
Maximum 320mm (Stadium Out)

Quite a decent counter level to Stadium Out opponent beys.



Summary
Basalt Horogium isn't the typical buy and win it all Bey. It requires the user to have some good launching techiques and control. Thou off the box it can really do some serious counter damage to light beys its not all dandy when it comes to stamina resistance.
