Balance
Balance types are difficult to classify but mostly depend on preference. They are the easiest types of blades to create.
It is difficult to create a good balance type since balance types are flawed or compromised in some way, a great example is dark bull horn 145 semi defense, first of all dark is a practically useless wheel, surpassed in weakness only by the poison wheel, the dark wheel is too light to have any defense and too rigid for stamina but not rigid enough for attack. Horn 145 which loses all its stamina when it scraps the walls or takes a hit, semi defense is the only thing of any value that bull comes with which is good for stamina.
The other thing about balance types is they are easily confused with ultimate types. An ultimate type is essentially a balance type with no flaws. It actually has very high abilities in attack stamina and defense. Metal ball is a good part for creating ultimate types.
However to create a good balance type you need to decide which two types you want to combine; stamina and defense, attack and defense, attack and stamina and so on. Its up to you entirely. It is best when trying to create a good balance to choose only two types (e.g. stamina and defense) and attempt to maximize these two. It is very difficult but not impossible to make an ultimate type blade that has high attack power, defense, and stamina.
Stamina and Defense Balance
The easiest way to create this form of balance type is to use a stamina wheel on a defensive bottom such as flame libra tornado 125 wide defense. You can even use wide ball if you like but the concept is the same except that it would add some attack power. You can do the reverse of this by giving a defense wheel a stamina bottom this is not recommended because most defense wheels have high recoil and need higher friction with the ground just to block attacks.
Attack and Defense Balance
This type of balance is relatively simple created by using an attack wheel and high friction performance tip such as wide ball. The idea is to create a blade that can deal powerful attacks for long periods of time. You can do this in reverse by using a defense wheel on an attack performance tip; this is known as a counter attacker.
Attack and Stamina Balance
An attack and stamina type is somewhat difficult to make since attack and stamina fused together is what a defense type is. killer gemios is the best example because of his tip flat sharp. coat sharp is a good choice for more attack power. the only attack wheel that works well with sharp bottoms is the storm wheel because it has low recoil and good stamina. the purpose of this form of balance is to add the consistency of stamina types so that the blade can defeat stamina types more often without relying on maxing its opponent out of the stadium.
Ultimate Types
As stated above ultimate types are balance types that are not compromised. Creating ultimate types is the goal of all balance bladers. However, it is very difficult to create an ultimate type because the true purpose of an ultimate type is to be able to defeat all other types, but this is impossible because the blade must sacrifice one ability for another. However, it is still possible to create powerful ultimate types by creating a balance type with high parameters in all three types. One blade that is an out-of-the-box ultimate type is Phantom Orion assuming that the bearing drive isn’t flawed like some of them tend to be.
