==General Info==
This set was the first release of the Tornado Balance Stadium. It was later released on it's own as one of the earliest releases of the [[HMS | Heavy Metal System]] series. This set is the only way to obtain the original version of [[Wyvern DJ]], from [[Takara]].

==Overall==
This set includes has some highly useful pieces for the [[HMS | Heavy Metal System]] system with [[Dragoon MS]] being essential for HMS attack combos and the Tornado Balance one of the most used stadiums of the [[HMS | Heavy Metal System]] period. However the other pieces of the set have almost no uses competitively and [[Gaia Dragoon MS]] and [[Driger MS]] are easy to find. This set is incredibly rare and nearly impossible to find, and a few of the parts inside are rarely found elsewhere as well. If you are able to find one you should definitely purchase it.

Earth Aquila 145WD

}}

__TOC__

==Name Change==
Earth Aquila was re-named Earth '''Eagle''' by [[Hasbro]].

==Face: Aquila==
The Face on this Beyblade depicts '''Aquila''', one of the 88 constellations in space. In mythology, Aquila is seen to represent an eagle, which is featured on this Beyblade's Face.

==Clear Wheel: Aquila==
*'''Weight:''' 2.9 grams
Aquila was first released in a translucent purple colour. Each side of this Clear Wheel represents an Eagle's pair of wings, with the notches on either side representing its head. It was clearly designed to fit with the aesthetic of the Earth Metal Wheel with its two spikes/notches fitting nicely over the small notches on the inner section of Earth.

==Metal Wheel: Earth==
*'''Weight:''' 30.8 grams
Earth has four thick, textured wings surrounding its perimeter, with each pair facing each other on a slight incline. The space created between the wings is quite small, and the resulting effect is similar to any Wheel that has no spaces: minimal recoil. Though it is on the lighter side of Metal Wheels, its almost unperturbed circular design, and minimal recoil make it one of the best, if not the best, [[Defense]]-oriented Wheel currently available for competitive play.

===IMPORTANT: Mold Variations===
[[Image:10EarthAquila.JPG|thumb|Earth Metal Wheel (second mold)]]
Earth has two different molds. The first mold was released in BB-47 Starter Earth Aquila 145WD, and the second in both the purple WBBA "Event Special" MF Earth Aquila 105HF/S, and SonoKong manufactured Earth Metal Wheels. However, TAKARA-TOMY has since ceased production on the first mold, thus making it a difficult part to obtain. The second mold addressed breaking problems that the original mold faced by modifying the inside of each of Earth's wings. The new mold is up to three grams heavier than the old mold (30-31 grams versus 33 grams on the new mold), which makes it significantly more effective for [[Defense]] customizations. Therefore, the new mold is the preferred choice for Defense customs using Earth, while the original mold would be the best for [[Survival | Stamina]].

===Use in Defense Customization===
Earth is best utilized in the staple [[Defense]] customization, ''MF Earth Aquario C145WB''. The heavy weight of the Metal Face, and C145 make it difficult to knock around, and C145 provides exceptional Defense against low Attackers such as [[Quetzalcoatl 90WF | Quetzalcoatl]] 90RF with its three movable wings. And to top it off, WB is able to withstand powerful Attacks due to its wide surface area.

===Use in Stamina Customization===
Earth also has exceptional [[Survival | Stamina]] capabilities because of its attributes. Earth can be utilized in the top-tier Stamina custom, ''Earth Bull DF145SD''. Bull is chosen due to it being one of the heaviest Clear Wheels with with a great distribution of weight.

==Track: 145==
*'''Weight:''' 1.5 grams

145, along with its variants (C145, DF145, etc.), was once the highest Track available, until the 230 Track was released with [[Flame Byxis 230WD | Flame Byxis]]. It can be used in Stamina customs to great effect due to its tall height, which allows for more wobbling as the Beyblade loses its [[spin velocity]]. 145, as tall as it is, makes it easily susceptible to low Attackers; however, this should not be seen as a drawback because Stamina Types are not traditionally designed to be used against [[Attack]] Types.

145 is also not restricted to the use of Stamina Types. 145 has in fact found its place in a top-tier Attack Customization as described below:

===Use in Attack Customization===
145 can be put to good use in the [[Attack]] custom, ''MF Pegasis 145RF''. Pegasis has been proven to perform viciously when used in unison with 145, which maximizes the effectiveness of its [[Smash Attack]].

===Use in Stamina Customization===
145 can be put to good use in the custom, ''Earth Bull 145SD''.

==Bottom: Wide Defense==
[[Image:09EarthAquila.JPG|thumb|Tip Comparison: SD, D, and WD]]
*'''Weight:''' 0.7 grams
Wide Defense, as its name implies is the widest of the “Defense” series of Bottoms (D, SD, and now WD). This brings numerous advantages, but also some disadvantages when compared to the other “Defense” Bottoms. Because of its massive width that reaches the edge of the Bottom's perimeter, it is able to wobble at a significantly larger angle for a longer period of time than D or SD, and at a much lower spin rate. This can be advantageous in many battles, particularly those between two [[Survival | Stamina]] types when they are about to topple over; however, if you happen to have a weaker shot than your opponent who is using something such as [[Virgo DF145BS | Virgo]] DF145SD, WDs low spin rate towards the end of the battle will make it extremely easy for the opponent to knock it completely over. This low spin rate towards the end of the battle is created because in the process of wobbling at such a large angle, more friction is made with the stadium floor, thus decreasing its Stamina. This is all avoidable however if your shot is at least as powerful as your opponent, as the extra time it is able to spin on an angle will allow you to narrowly outspin your D or SD based opponent.

WD has significant defensive capabilities as well, but because it still uses a form of sharp tip, its friction with the stadium floor is decreased, which as a result makes it easier to knock around than something like WB which has much more friction with the stadium floor. WD does of course offer superior Stamina to WB which in rare cases would be an advantage, but WB more often than not has enough Stamina to outlast [[Attack]] types.

===Use in Stamina Customization===
WD is arguably the best of the “Defense” series of Bottoms, and its effectiveness can be utilized in the custom ''Earth Bull DF145WD''.

===Use in Defense Customization===
If you want to add some more Stamina to your [[Defense]] customization, while still retaining much defensive capability, swap out WB or B for WD. ''MF Virgo ED145WD'' is a good example of this.

==Overall==
[[Earth Aquila 145WD]] uncustomized is a quite strong [[Survival | Stamina]] type by itself, and taken separately, Earth and WD have uses in not only Stamina, but in top-tier [[Defense]] customizations as well. 145 is somewhat expendable, but is still useful in the absence of DF145. '''Every Blader should own at least one of this Beyblade.'''

Dark Cancer CH120SF

| beyblade type = [[Balance | Balance]]

}}

'''Note:''' Cancer and CH120 were originally released in [[Random Booster Light Vol.1 Mad Cancer CH120FS]] as the "rare" Beyblade, but because both of Mad Cancer's unique parts were re-released as a non-Light Wheel Beyblade, we have chosen to publish this article under the name of its regular Booster release, Dark Cancer CH120SF instead of the original release, Mad Cancer CH120FS.

__TOC__

==Name Change==
Dark Cancer was re-named Dark '''Gasher''' for [[Hasbro]]'s release, and subsequently had the word "Cancer" removed from the Face, and a new purple design behind the original Face design.

==Face: Cancer==
The Face on this Beyblade depicts '''Cancer''', the fourth astrological sign in the Zodiac. Its Zodiac symbol is the Crab.

==Clear Wheel: Cancer==
*'''Weight:''' 3.0 grams
The Cancer Clear Wheel featured in [[Random Booster Light Vol.1 Mad Cancer CH120FS]] is of a brighter red, while the BB-55 Booster version is slightly darker. Both are identical in shape and weight.

==Metal Wheel: Dark==
*'''Weight:''' 31.4 grams
Dark has twelve spikes facing the clockwise direction. These protrusions are closely packed together with minimal space between each, resulting in an overall round shape. This shape hinders the Metal Wheel in two ways: its protrusions are not pronounced enough to provide sufficient [[Smash Attack]], while the perimeter is interrupted too frequently for sufficient [[Survival | Stamina]]. Additionally, its weight is distributed over too large a surface area, but Hasbro's Dark has proven to have decent defense capabilities.

==Track: Change 120==
*'''Weight:''' 2.7 grams
CH120 is without a doubt this Beyblade's most useful part. This Track is unique as it features a height-changing gimmick. The user is allowed a choice of using 120 or 145 as the Track's height. This is done by rotating the bottom portion of the Track and pulling/pushing the central part out/in, and then rotating the bottom portion back to lock the height. Importantly, this can be done between each round of a match, as it does not involve any part-swapping.

The advantages of this Track are plentiful. Its most obvious benefit is allowing the user to change the height of their Beyblade between rounds; this means that the user can adapt their strategy to counter the opponents during a match. The below customization, Libra CH120RF, uses this function to great effect.

The Hasbro version of CH120 has much more difficulty staying at one height than the Takara version and because of this the takara version is recommended rather than the hasbro version.

Furthermore, CH120 is currently the only Track featuring a 120 height. This height is useful for many [[Attack]] types.

===Use in Balance Customization===
'''NOTE: The Libra Wheel is now ''banned'' under WBO Organized Play Official Rules. This example will be kept solely for informational purposes.'''

CH120 has found use in a very specific [[Balance]] customization; in fact, it is really the only competitively viable [[Balance]] customization at this point in time. The custom is ''[[Libra DF145BS | Libra]] CH120RF''. Here is how it performs against the current staple customs:

* '''Versus Virgo DF145D -- use 120 height'''

Even though Libra is the heaviest Wheel ever created, because its weight is focused around the outside, it is still quite agile with RF. On its own, Libra is not a very effective [[Smash Attack]] Wheel, but its weight distribution in combination with the fast moving RF allow it to achieve an astonishing 90% win rate against [[Virgo DF145BS | Virgo]] DF145D. 120 height must be used in order for the Metal Wheels to make contact or it won't work.

* '''Versus Quetzalcoatl 90RF -- use 145 height'''

By switching to 145 height, the Track will absorb all of the hits dealt by [[Quetzalcoatl 90WF | Quetzalcoatl]]. The weight of [[Libra DF145BS | Libra]] combined with the grip of RF give it enough defense to withstand most attacks, and again, the win rate is 90%.

* '''Versus MF Libra C145WB -- use 120 height'''

The win ratio against the top tier [[Defense]] combo isn't that great -- only about 60% -- but this still isn't bad, considering how strong it is against the other two types. If you can avoid using this combo against Defense-types, you should, but if you're forced into that situation you can win with a perfect shot and a little luck.

To effectively use this custom, you absolutely must be able to perform [[Sliding Shoot]] because the window for landing a successful attack is much smaller than with other Storm or Quetzalcoatl-based Attackers. A skilled Blader can use this customization as an answer to almost anything that is thrown at them.

===Use in Attack Customization===
''MF Lightning L Drago CH120RF'' is a top-tier [[Attack]] customization. Use whichever height matches up best with the opposing Beyblades Wheel. This will allow Lightning (Upper Mode) to make optimum contact with opposing Beyblades.

===Use in Defense Customization===
CH120 can be used as an alternative to other [[Defense]] Tracks such as C145; ''MF Earth Aquario CH120WB (145 mode)'' is a viable Defense customization.

==Bottom: Semi-Flat==
*'''Weight:''' 0.6 grams
SF is a Balance Bottom. The tip is distinctly similar to [[SG Semi-Flat]] from the Plastic Generation, in that it is a sharp tip with a flattened end. As a result, SF displays a combination of [[Attack]] qualities and [[Survival | Stamina]] qualities, moving in a semi-aggressive pattern. Because of this however, the two attributes are compromised, culminating in an average performance in both categories. Despite being seen as useless for a long time SF has great use in destabiliser combos being one of the best bottoms to use in the combos

==Overall==
[[Dark Cancer CH120SF]]'s defining part is CH120, an exceptionally useful Track which can be used in a whole host of customization possibilities. While Dark and SF are relatively useless parts, CH120 makes this a more than worthwhile purchase. '''Every Blader should own at least one of this Beyblade'''.
