Marble is loaded into the Chamber and a Shooting Lever is pushed to fire a powerful shot.There are many different Core types and shooting techniques, making more challenges and modes of play available.
B-Daman Shooter Main Components
The Core
The most important part of the B-Da warrior, it is also this device that shoots the Marble and also hold the shooting attributes. Cores are mainly classified under 5 different catagories.
Power Types
Cores under this category, emphasize on shooting power and distance, the shooting levers of such cores tend to be more rigid and more difficult to fire. This makes rapid firing difficult.
Rapid Types
Cores with Rapid functions, as it name suggest, are for Rapid Fire purposes. Such cores have a more compact shooting lever and more "soft" grip on the marbles to allow smooth repetitive shooting action . Rapid Fire Cores by default have lesser Power and Distance.
Control Types
Cores under this category have very high Stability and Accuracy in its core design. Control types enables the user to manipulate the marble with a very stable grip on the shooting lever and core. Great for conquering small gaps and balance stages.
Special Types
Cores in this category mostly have Special functions that affect the performance of the marble's movement. like the Twin Core, which can fire up to 2 marbles simultaneously.
The Smash Core, which have a reverse rotation firing core that increases contact impact.
The Drift Core, which can fire a Drifting Marble around a curve!
Balance Types
Cores that are said to be Balance are basically cores with neutral or bi-functional features. Like CB-32 Round Tigaru have a Rapid Fire Core with Control Grip System Combo. Therefore a Balance Type.
Main Customization Parts
These are the parts that form the "Grip" for the Core. Parts can be interchangeable between B-Da Warriors to form the Grip most suitable to your own firing position and style~
The Head
This is where the marbles is loaded and also where further aiming is done. Different Head parts from different B-Da Warriors have different functions. Some with better grip, while others have aiming support.
The Arms
This is where the main Grip of the B-Da shooter is located. Having a strong and stable grip on the B-Daman increases shooting power, accuracy and control.
The Base/Legs
The Base is important for Stability and movement. Only when the B-Daman is stable the shot will never be accurate. Very eccentric to All Core Types.
The Rear Support
This part is often neglected. The Rear Support Part is located just at the back of the core between the shooting lever and the main marble chamber. It Supports the Shooting Lever and also "Lifts" and levels the shooting angle of the lever. Most of the back support comes with the default Core, but little know that it is swappable to increase attributes of other Cores with weaker and smaller Rear Supports.
Tune Up Gear
Addition Parts that enhance the performance of the B-Daman Warrior fall in this section.
Magazines
Marble Magazines that holds from 8, 24 to 45 marbles for Rapid Fire Stages.
Barrels
This attachment in front of the Core, enhances the Marble shooting direction and accuracy
Power Grips/Triggers
Attached to the Shooting Lever for more Grip and Comfort in shooting.
