+With an excellent Attack Ring and what is arguably the best [[Survival]]/[[Defense]] Support Part, as well as a useable-if-outclassed Blade Base and useful-if-generic Spin Gear, '''Voltaic Ape''' is one of the most useful releases of the highly acclaimed V2 Series. '''Every Blader should own multiples of this Beyblade.'''

 [[Uriel 2]]’s SG Grip Change Base can be used for additional speed and power, however, it is a very fragile and expensive part, so this is generally not recommended. That said, it is arguably the safest combination to use that base in, as the areas which make contact with the base are relatively low-profile, meaning there is less stress on the weak gold plastic which the base is composed of.

-The Attack Ring of [[Voltaic Ape]], Mountain Hammer, is deceptively aggressive: while mostly round, the two Ape heads that are the focal point of its design produce a fair amount of [[Smash Attack|smash]], however, in less aggressive setups, they produce a high level of [[recoil]], making this part highly unsuitable for [[Defense|Defensive]] customization, including most [[Compact|Compacts]]. Mountain Hammer does have some [[Smash Attack]] use, though the compact shape can be quite limiting. These combinations focus on using high weight to enhance momentum, and while this is usually not as effective as conventional [[Smash Attack]] setups, it can still be used effectively in a competitive situation.

-This combination focuses on the bludgeoning effect from its weight and small size, as well as limiting the recoil of Mountain Hammer. It is surprisingly effective, given it breaks almost every rule of [[Smash Attack]] customization. It does have one significant limitation, however: it is noticeably less effective against opposite-spin opponents, and as such, is best only used against beyblades which use the same spin direction.

 ===Use In [[Zombie]] Customization===
-Defense Ring’s excellent life after death and spin stealing abilities make it one of the best choices for [[Zombie]] Customizations. The use of Burning Kerberous’ SG gives excellent stamina and stability, alongside decent ability to take hits when coupled with the round perimeter of the beyblade. This combination is almost impossible to outspin without a specialised Zombie-Killing customization, though it does suffer from a weakness to [[Attack]] types.

 ===Use In [[Compact]] Customization===
-Though Metal Change Base (Driger S) is generally preferred due to smaller size and lower height, the extra weight of Customize Change Base and Defense Ring, and generally less-aggressive tip, means they can still find their place amongst the best compact combinations. Defense Ring also helps compensate for the extra height, by giving some measure of protection against [[Upper Attack]].

 Customise Metal Sharp is a relatively tall base, consisting of a central pole and a relatively flat platform. The tip is a somewhat wide conical metal spike; however, as it loses balance, the plastic surrounds provide extra stability and aid in life after death, producing excellent stamina, and surprisingly impressive stability.
-However, the height and shape, alongside extremely low grip tip make it an easy target for lower attackers, especially [[Upper Attack]] customisations, which can throw it around with little trouble. In addition to this, almost all stamina bases, including Customize Metal Sharp, are heavily outclassed by zombie parts, and as such this base is rarely considered for serious competitive use.

-This combination is the standard Grip-Based [[Defense|Defender]], a [[Zombie]] customization using the grip from [[Wolborg 2]]’s SG (Bearing Ver. 2) to withstand hard hits, while being able to steal spin, which counteracts the poor [[Survival]] of the tip. Defense Ring enhances this combination, giving additional protection against [[Upper Attack]], and offering excellent [[Life After Death]]. In addition, this combination can be launched aggressively to score KO’s against opponents with very weak [[Defense]] who might otherwise outspin it. As such, it is easily one of the most powerful [[Defense]] Customizations in the entire plastic generation.
