What battle problem is Dot meant to solve?
Dot is mainly used for controlled contact and resistance to destabilising hits. Final performance depends on the Blade, Ratchet, stadium and launch.

Defense
Start with Black Shell 4-60 Dot; it is labelled as a official stock pairing with the note “Takara Tomy BX-35”. Compare it with Draciel Shield 7-60 Dot while keeping the Blade, stadium, launch and opponent consistent.

Compare Dot directly with the Hexa Bit in the same complete build. Run at least five launches per side and record knockouts, bursts, self-knockouts, scraping and spin finishes; change only this one part.
Drop it if it survives the first hit but still loses too many spin finishes or gets pushed into the Over and Xtreme zones. Staying upright alone is not enough.
