 Basalt may have a bad solo-spin time, but nevertheless, its Stamina in battle is impressive. In addition, its recoil reduces the opponent's [[Spin Velocity|rotation speed]] and can sometimes knock it out. Basalt's Stamina ability can be used to great effect in the custom ''Basalt Bull AD145WD''.

-This track is a regular, non-gimmicked track at the 145 height. It can be used in Stamina customs to great effect to to its tall height, but has been outclassed for wobbler customs by 230. It used to be on par for Stamina customs with DF145, but AD145 offers better Stamina on a 145 height, and 85 offers better Stamina in general. Thus, it's outclassed.
+, 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]]. However, gimmick-paired Tracks like [[Hell Kerbecs BD145DS|BD145]] have immensely outclassed their original bare variant, on top of several taller gimmick Tracks surpassing 145 as well against heavy, mid-height Attackers. Even in Stamina battles, 145 does not offer enough balance: Tracks like [[Gravity Perseus AD145WD|AD145]] and [[Samurai Ifraid W145CF|W145]] provide a good center of gravity, and aid with a slight downforce to maintain stability.

 Basalt is a member of the Maximum Series, with its "gimmick" being "maximum weight". At the time of its release, it was the heaviest Metal Wheel ever created, even heavier and thicker than the infamous [[Libra DF145BS|Libra]]. With the release of Diablo it is no longer the heaviest Metal Wheel, but Basalt's circular nature, in combination with its abnormally heavy weight, make it without a doubt one of the best Metal Wheels for Defense customizations.
-However, Basalt is missing a chunk of metal inside its perimeter which forms what is called the "Spiral Staircase of Death". The "Spiral Staircase of Death" was meant to neuter Basalt's incredibly high power slightly by creating an imbalance within the Wheel. While this imbalance does indeed occur, it is not a notable hindrance to its usefulness. In fact, despite the imbalance/wobbling caused by the "Spiral Staircase of Death", Basalt also has strong Stamina, although it has since been outclassed by Scythe and Phantom. The imbalance/wobbling caused by the "Spiral Staircase of Death" does contribute slightly to the [[recoil]] Basalt suffers, but again, this is not a huge hindrance to its usefulness.

-'''Basalt Horogium 145WD''' contains two top-tier parts that every Blader needs to play at a high level competitively; Basalt and WD. WD is one of the best Stamina Bottoms available, and Basalt, with its astronomical weight, is one of the best Defense Wheels to date. Horogium, while a non-essential part, does have use as a good alternative to Pisces for exposing Screw's slopes. '''Every Blader should own at least one of this Beyblade.'''
+'''Basalt Horogium 145WD''' contains only one top-tier part that has succeeded in aging well despite the release of more innovative and heavier parts. Indeed, WD is one of the best Stamina Bottoms available. Its Metal Wheel, Basalt, is in no way bad, however it cannot hold its ground against the heavier and more aggressive Attack parts released since, like [[Flash Sagittario 230WD|Flash]], compared to the newer and better heavy-weights that defend well against them. Horogium, while a non-essential part, does have use as a good alternative to Pisces for exposing Screw's slopes.  '''Therefore, this Beyblade should only be considered if all preferred alternatives cannot be purchased, or for collection purposes.'''
