Beyblade X Rock Golem Guide

Rock Golem is the Hasbro name for Takara Tomy's GolemRock, product code UX-13, a Defense-type Beyblade X released in Japan on January 25, 2025. It combines three parts under the X system's split-component format: the Golem Rock blade, the 1-60 ratchet and the UN (Under Needle) bit. In the West it ships as the Rock Golem 1-60UN Starter Pack, priced at $9.99 USD, and includes a launcher and ripcord in the box like other starter-level releases.

What's actually in the box

The Golem Rock blade weighs roughly 34 grams and carries six primary contact points around its rim, alternating between aggressive and sharp counter-attack edges rather than a single uniform profile. That alternating layout is the blade's defining design choice: it's built to absorb and redirect hits rather than to out-spin or out-attack an opponent outright. The blade also uses resin launcher hooks for weight distribution, a detail that affects how mass sits around the disc during a clash. Paired with the 1-60 ratchet for height/spin balance and the UN bit for a needle-style contact point underneath, the combo is aimed squarely at defensive, stay-in-the-stadium play rather than aggressive knockouts.

A second colorway exists: a Metal Coat green GolemRock that doesn't come as a standalone starter but as one of three Beyblades bundled inside the CX-11 EmperorMight Deck Set, with a different Ratchet and Bit to the UX-13 build — confirm the exact combo string from the CX-11 product page rather than a secondhand write-up. Anyone shopping by colorway or set name should check which of the two SKUs a listing is actually describing, since the parts aren't identical between them.

Where it sits competitively

Community reviews (beyblade.wiki) describe the Rock Golem as capable of putting up decent results against Attack-type combos thanks to its counter-attack contact points, but direct about where it falls short: it struggles against Stamina combos running top-tier Blades, and the wiki's blunt summary is that the blade "lacks weight to be used in a competitive environment." In practice that makes it a solid pick for casual or defense-focused play rather than a tournament staple. If it's specifically the UX-13 starter or the CX-11 deck-set colorway you're after, matching the product code against the listing is the fastest way to confirm you're getting the right one — and for anything headed to an organised event, it's still worth a quick check with the organiser on which parts and combos they're allowing.

Line context is in the UX line overview, and the parts explainer covers what the Ratchet and Bit contribute underneath the blade.

Frequently asked questions

What parts come in the Rock Golem UX-13 starter?

Takara Tomy's GolemRock (UX-13) combines the Golem Rock blade, the 1-60 ratchet and the UN (Under Needle) bit. The Hasbro Rock Golem 1-60UN Starter Pack is the same combo and includes a launcher and ripcord in the box.

Is Rock Golem an Attack type or a Defense type?

It is a Defense type. The blade's six contact points alternate between aggressive and sharp counter-attack edges so it absorbs and redirects hits rather than chasing knockouts, which suits defensive, stay-in-the-stadium play.

How heavy is the Golem Rock blade?

The blade weighs roughly 34 grams and uses resin launcher hooks for weight distribution, which affects how mass sits around the disc during a clash.

Is the Metal Coat green GolemRock the same as the UX-13 one?

No. The green Metal Coat colorway only ships inside the CX-11 EmperorMight Deck Set, and it carries a different Ratchet and Bit to the UX-13 build, so check which of the two SKUs a listing is describing.
