• Assumes viewer already owns a proper stadium (Extreme Stadium); stadiums not discussed.

CX Line (Custom)

• CX08 Random Booster Vol.7 Cberus Flame: Avoid unless you want the wheel assist blade.
• CX07 Starter Pegasus Blast: Buy — strong blade, nostalgic Metal Fight homage.
• CX06 Random Booster Select Fox Brush: Skip — forgettable; consider if found cheap.
• CX05 Hell's Reaper Random Booster: Buy from Hasbro for kick bit; avoid expensive random booster prices.
• CX03 Perseus Dark: Skip — stock combo underwhelming; wedge bit usable.
• CX02 Wizard Arc: Skip — can hit hard but outperformed by top attack types.
• CX01 Drawn Brave: Consider — 660 ratchet is useful; main character bay.

UX Line

• UX15 Shark Scale Deck Set: Must get — all three parts high tier; 450 ratchet under flat very relevant.
• UX14 Scorpio Spear: Buy — extremely heavy blade; bit is very good.
• UX13 Golem Rock: Buy — strong defense; unique parts (Under Needle, Golden Rock Blade, 160 ratchet).
• UX12 Go Circle Random Booster: Avoid — too light; 080 ratchet limited use.
• UX11 Starter Impact Drake 960 LR: Buy — 960 ratchet and Low Rush top-tier; heavy Impact Drake blade.
• UX10 Night Mail Customize Set: Avoid now — parts available elsewhere; rubber cell not great.
• UX09 Samurai Saber Starter: Must buy — useful hold launcher; solid level bit.
• UX08 Silverwolf 380 Free Ball: Buy — high tier with Free Ball; 380 ratchet replaceable.
• UX07 Phoenix Rudder Deck Set: Avoid — forgettable despite glide bit.
• UX06 Leon Crest 760 Gear Needle: Consider — 760 ratchet widely used; booster ratchet less impressive.
• UX05 Shinobi Random Booster: Avoid — light defense, no standout parts.
• UX03 Wizard Rod 570 DB: Buy — top-tier round heavy blade; very easy Hasbro options.
• UX02 Hell's Hammer 370H: Consider — hexabit versatile; Hell's Hammer average.
• UX01 Drawn Buster 160A: Buy — strong hit, 160 ratchet essential for attack combos.

BX Line

• BX Samurai Caliber 670 Merge: Avoid on budget — merge bit appealing but performance mediocre.
• BX44 Tricera Press M85BS: Avoid — M85 metal ratchet neat, but 85 height rarely used.
• BX39 Shelter Drake (Random Booster Select): Avoid — thin blade, light weight; Hasbro starter available if desired.
• BX38 Crimson Garuda 470TP: Avoid — forgettable blade; gimmick inconsistent.
• BX36 Whale Wave Random Booster Select: Must get — strong performance; Elevate bit highly useful.
• BX35 Black Shell Random Booster: Avoid — whole booster has some good parts, but Black Shell itself weak.
• BX34 Cobalt Dragoon 260 Cyclone: Buy — left-spin rarity, versatile with elevate bits; includes left string launcher.
• BX33 Vice Tiger: Avoid — unique blades ineffective; 360 ratchet and Ubit not competitive.
• BX31 Tyrano Beat Random Booster: Consider — fun attack type; older but solid if affordable.
• BX30 Sphinx Cow (Random Booster Select): Avoid — weak defense; not worth booster price.
• BX26 Unicorn Sting: Avoid — fun initially but outclassed by newer balance types.
• BX24 Wyvern Gale (Random Booster Vol.2): Avoid — introduced gear ball but underperformed.
• BX23 Phoenix Wing 960 Gear Flat: Buy/Consider — solid attack combo; 960 ratchet consistent; includes string launcher.
• BX21 Hell's Chain Deck Set: Avoid — older balance type; overpriced now.
• BX20 Drawn Dagger Deck Set: Avoid — few signature parts; rush bit obtainable elsewhere.
• BX19 Rhino Horn: Avoid — compact defense was good, now heavily outclassed.
• BX16 Viper Tail Random Booster: Avoid — low chances to obtain orb bit; most parts weak.
• BX15 Leon Claw Starter Pack: Buy — 560 ratchet and point bit very useful; easy acquisition.
• BX14 Shark Edge Random Booster: Consider — good older parts (low flat, 360); Hasbro cheaper options.
• BX13 Night Lance 480 High Needle: Avoid — underperformed; high needle unnecessary over regular needles.
• BX01–BX04 (First Releases): Consider for nostalgia — OG bays have collectible/story value; some parts still usable, but BX04 less compelling.

Action Items

• Prioritize buying: UX15 Shark Scale, UX11 Impact Drake, UX09 Samurai Saber, UX08 Silverwolf, BX36 Whale Wave, BX34 Cobalt Dragoon, UX03 Wizard Rod, UX01/Drawn Buster, CX07 Pegasus Blast.
• Use Hasbro releases/sets to save money when parts are otherwise locked in expensive random boosters.
• Avoid many random boosters unless seeking specific rare bits; seek Hasbro alternatives or single-part availability.

Decisions

• Verdicts apply with limited budget in mind; recommendations favor competitive/cost-effective parts.
• Collectibility and story significance factor into "Consider" for OG and character bays.
• Final call: balance purchases between must-get competitive parts and a few nostalgic/collector bays.
