Rushing Boar

Attack Ring: Hammer Tusk

Weight: 4.7g

• • Three-sided AR with relatively large, spiked wings as the main contact point.

  • Left Spin performs similarly to, but generally slightly worse than Right Spin due to contact point angles. As such, it tends to sit just short of the top tier in Left.

  • Spikes seem to "grind" opponents, sapping their stamina significantly in same spin matchups, while also having relatively low recoil

  • This, combined with solid Smash Attack makes it viable on offensive Metal-tipped aggressive combos such as SG Metal Flat Base (Gaia Dragoon V Version) and SG (Full Auto Clutch Version) Shaft spin-stealing combos, while it is not quite powerful enough to be considered top tier on either, the griding abilities mean it can wear down a lot of opponents to net surprising outspins. This also allows it to be used to some degree in Right Spin Spin-Stealing Attack combos which are effective in same-spin, a rarity for the type, though it lacks the offensive power to be a true top-tier choice.

  • Overall, not a top-tier part but certainly an interesting addition to any collection.

Weight Disk (Takara): Random

• Possible Weight Disks are: Star Attack, Revolver Attack, Ten Heavy, Ten Balance and Ten Wide.

Weight Disk (Hasbro): Ten Wide

Weight: 14.0g (Takara/Hasbro) | 14.3g (SonoKong G-Blade)

• Moderately light weight

• Outward weight distribution, though less so than Wide Defense and Wide Survivor.

• Recoil means it is far less effective for spin stealing and survival than those weight disks

• Still has plenty of use for Smash Attack, particularly with Attack Rings which are obstructed by Wide Defense.

• Can still be used for spin stealing to decent effect with parts that compensate through LAD (Spiral Change Base/Full Auto Clutch Base etc) or by providing a buffer (Dragon Saucer SAR), but is still outclassed.

• A number of SonoKong Ten Wide WD's from their G-Blade series have been recorded as being slightly above the average weight of Wide Defense, see the Ten Wide page for details.

Spin Gear: Neo Right Spin Gear (Metal Weight Version)

Spin Gear Shells: Neo Right Spin Gear Shells

Weight: 1.15g ea (total 2.3g)

• Generally preferred to regular Right shells due to being compatible with all SG-Compatible bases, in particular for being compatible with Neo SG Cores and the Heavy Metal Core.

• This means they are a necessity for Compacts, Weight Based Defense, Force Smash, Traditional Upper Attack and Driger V2 Combinations, at least aside from the rare occasions Left Spin is desired for one of these types, in which case Neo Left Shells are preferred.

• Overall a crucial competitive part, but thankfully exceedingly common.

Spin Gear Core: Metal Weight Core

Weight: 2.5g

• Only compatible with Neo Shells.

• Has a cylindrical metal part in the centre to add weight

• Slightly lighter than Magnecores, which limits its usefulness, even for Attack Types where the small difference between it and other cores in terms of weight means it generally fails to find a niche, or at least fails to stand out as significantly better in most cases.

• This does not mean it is outclassed for all setups, however, odds are it provides the right mix of recoil control and speed for some setups, it is just that the difference it would be best by would inevitably be quite small.

• Does still work well for Attack Types in general, despite usually being outperformed by other options the difference is quite minimal.

Blade Base: SG Sharp Base

It is possible to get alternate Blade Bases with Random Booster beys, especially with non-prize Beyblades. In Rushing Boar's case, the most common alternates areSG Flat Base and SG Semi-Flat Base.

Weight: 6.6g

• SG version of Sharp Base.

• Tall base, with sharp tip.

• Two molds, albeit only minor differences, with the second having smaller tip retention pieces and a reinforced rim in the underside groove.

• Incredibly poor stability resulting in poor longevity against all opponents

• Niche use in Defense combinations aiming to maintain high RPM, but Weight Based Defense and Compacts both do this better, and in any case there are better alternatives, such as Customize Metal Sharp Base. This may nonetheless be the closest thing this Blade Base has to usefulness and one of the only historical uses for it.

• Outclassed for everything, generally severely so.

Overall

• Hammer Tusk is a solid AR but somewhat niche, and it being the only unique part of the Beyblade means Rushing Boar is best left to collectors though may be a fun Beyblade for those bored of more standard Attack-types and in search of an unusual part.
