START WITH THE ANSWER
Which Starscream build should be tested first, and how strong is the evidence?
Starscream · 9-60 · Hexa is a role-based starting point for this Defense Blade. There is not yet a large, verifiable podium sample, so BeyXBuild does not label it as a proven meta build.
What role should Starscream fill in a three-Bey deck?
Use it as a contact-absorbing matchup pick against attack. Test whether it stays in the stadium without giving away too much spin endurance. Keep it in the testing slot before committing it to a tournament deck. It should earn its place by performing its assigned job consistently.

Why this blade works
Starscream battle role
This Defense blade is built to absorb or redirect contact. Compact ratchets and stable bits reduce scraping and help it stay inside the stadium after heavy hits.

QUICK ANSWERS
Starscream Frequently asked questions
What result means Starscream should leave my three-Bey deck?
Leave it out if it survives the opening hit but still loses too many spin finishes or gets pushed into the Over and Xtreme zones. Staying upright alone does not win the matchup. Keep it in the testing slot before committing it to a tournament deck. It should earn its place by performing its assigned job consistently.
