Chaos blader: /* Use in Defense Cusomizations */

The [[Metal Face]] is a product released by TAKARA-TOMY which offered an upgrade in weight to a [[Metal Fight Beyblade]]. Metal Face is usually abbreviated to “MF” in customization notation. Currently, Metal Faces are sold two per pack, with a longer type Tool. These are similar to the [[Metal Driger#Spin Gear (SG): Heavy Metal Core | HMC]] of the Plastic Generation.

__TOC__
==Design==
* '''Weight:''' 4.7g
The Metal Face is exactly the same shape and size as a regular Face, except the top hexagonal portion is coated in a thick metal. The centre of the thread of the Face’s screw is also entirely metal.

The Metal Face is 4.7g, and compared to the 1.1g Face, offers a 3.6g weight increase. This weight increase can be useful in many scenarios.

===Use in Defense Cusomizations===
By adding a Metal Face to a [[Defense]] customization, its weight is significantly increased, hence making it more difficult to knock around: ''MF Earth Bull C145WB'' is a competitive Defense customization which utilizes the Metal Face in such a way.

==Other Uses==
Metal Faces can also be used in [[Attack]] customizations. The extra weight helps to slow down their quick movement, which can help inexperienced players control customizations with RF, for example.
While Metal Faces can be extremely useful in [[Defense]] customizations, they are not recommended for use with [[Survival | Stamina]] customizations. The extra weight near the centre has been shown to reduce spin time, hence decreasing the Stamina Beyblade’s main function because of the higher friction between the tip and the stadium floor.

==Overall==
'''Metal Faces'' are primarily an extremely useful part in [[Defense]]-based customisations, although they can be used to add weight in any other customization. An essential part, and hence '''every player should own multiples of this part'''.

==Face: Virgo==
The Face depicts '''Virgo''', the sixth astrological sign of the Zodiac.

==Wheel: Virgo==
*'''Weight:''' 37 grams
Virgo is one of the most smooth, circular Wheels currently available. Its circular shape is composed of two large, and long slopes which connect with each other to form the circle; however, despite their appearance, they don't offer any effective [[Upper Attack]]. These properties lend themselves well to [[Survival | Stamina]], and despite its relatively average weight in comparison to other Wheels, Virgo has found its place among the best Stamina-based Wheels currently available.

===IMPORTANT: Mold Variations===
One very important thing to note is the different mold variations that have been discovered for Virgo. Just looking at the Wheels themselves, it is impossible to tell what the actual difference in the mold is. However, through testing, it has been determined that there is balance issues that certain Virgo Wheels encounter. Some of them have been reported not having a solo spin time above three minutes while others are able to spin for over five minutes. The disparities between the Virgo Wheels cannot be ignored, so it is encouraged to test your Virgo Wheel by itself before using it in a competitive situation.

===Use in Stamina Customization===
You can put Virgo's great [[Survival | Stamina]] abilities to use in the custom, ''Virgo DF145SD''.

==Track: Down Force 145==
*'''Weight:''' 3 grams
DF145 has four upward facing wings protruding from the top of the Track, which aside from giving it extra weight are meant to push air downwards. While the effects of the wings themselves may be negligible, they likely do help stabilize the Beyblade they are being used on to some capacity. This capability makes it quite useful for [[Survival | Stamina]] customs, where staying balanced and retaining spin is of utmost importance. The wings can also help protect from low, 90 or 100 based Attackers, but to a much lesser extent than something like C145.

===Use in Stamina Customization===
DF145 can be put to good use in the custom, ''Virgo DF145SD''.

==Bottom: Ball Sharp==
*'''Weight:''' 1 gram
BSs performance is quite similar to that of S. BS offers very little movement and as such gives no [[Attack]] potential. The pointed tip allows for very little friction between the Bottom and the stadium surface, which helps prevent the loss of [[spin velocity]]. BS has decent [[Survival | Stamina]], but because the tip is so fine, it experiences the same balance issues that S does. Both D and SD are much better choices.

===Use in Stamina Customization===
If you don't have access to D or SD, BS can be used to some degree of effectiveness in Stamina customs such as ''Virgo DF145BS''.

==Overall==
'''Virgo''' has found its place as the best Stamina Wheel currently available, and that fact alone should be enough to warrant a purchase, but the original version also comes with DF145, one of the most popular Tracks for Stamina. BS may have been outclassed from the day it was released, but both Virgo and DF145 more than make up for it. '''Every blader should own multiples of this Beyblade'''.
