Beyblade X Wizard Arrow Guide

Wizard Arrow is the blade at the centre of Takara Tomy's WizardArrow 4-80B set, released in Japan on July 15, 2023 as part of the original Beyblade X launch wave. It comes in two forms: BX-03, the Starter Pack that bundles the blade with a launcher, and BX-05, the Booster refill that ships the blade alone for players who already own a launcher. The Starter retailed at ¥1,980, the Booster at ¥1,400. Hasbro later brought the same piece west under the "Arrow Wizard 4-80B" Starter Pack name, so the component is identical across regions even though the box art and branding differ.

What's in the set

WizardArrow 4-80B breaks down into the three parts every Beyblade X combo uses. The Wizard Arrow blade itself weighs about 31.8g and has a round, smooth-edged profile that Takara Tomy designed as the Stamina piece of the launch four rather than a pure specialist. The 4-80 Ratchet contributes four protrusions at an 8.0mm height, and the 80B Bit is a Ball type, which keeps the combo mobile and lets it deflect hits rather than absorb them head-on. The whole assembly spins right, in line with the rest of the original X launch lineup. Takara Tomy's published stat line rates it Attack 15, Defense 30, Stamina 55, putting the weight of the design squarely on staying in the stadium rather than knocking opponents out of it.

How it actually plays

In practice, that stamina-leaning stat line holds up: Wizard Arrow's low recoil gives it genuine defensive value against attack-type opponents, and it was regarded as a strong, inexpensive pick during the early Beyblade X meta. Its weakness shows up over the course of a match rather than on paper — the blade's shape "lacks balance," so it tends to wobble and tilt as a bout goes on, bleeding stamina faster than its stat line suggests and eventually losing out to heavier, better-balanced blades. Because of that, a common workaround in the community is to keep the Wizard Arrow blade but swap out the stock 4-80B parts, pairing it with a 3-60 or 4-60 Ratchet and a Needle, High Needle, or Ball Bit instead. By 2025 standards, with several newer blade generations released since, Wizard Arrow is generally seen as a solid budget or early-collection piece rather than a top-tier competitive choice — useful to know, not built to headline a tournament deck.

As always, check the current rules and accepted parts list with your event organiser before you build a combo around it, since local tournament policies can restrict which Ratchet and Bit swaps are allowed even when the base blade is legal.

BX-03 is the Starter Pack that bundles the blade with a launcher, while BX-05 is the Booster refill that ships the blade alone for players who already own a launcher. The Starter retailed at ¥1,980 and the Booster at ¥1,400.

How heavy is the Wizard Arrow blade?

The Wizard Arrow blade itself weighs about 31.8g. It has a round, smooth-edged profile that Takara Tomy designed as the Stamina piece of the launch four rather than a pure specialist.

Is Wizard Arrow a good stamina pick?

Its published stat line of Attack 15, Defense 30, Stamina 55 puts the weight of the design on staying in the stadium, and its low recoil gives it real defensive value against attack types. The blade's shape lacks balance, though, so it tends to wobble and bleed stamina as a bout goes on, eventually losing to heavier, better-balanced blades.

How do you improve Wizard Arrow's late-match stamina?

A common community workaround is to keep the Wizard Arrow blade but swap out the stock 4-80B parts. That means pairing it with a 3-60 or 4-60 Ratchet and a Needle, High Needle, or Ball Bit instead, though you should check which swaps your event allows.
