The bey
Weiss Tiger is a right-spin Balance-type blade from Takara Tomy's Beyblade X Basic Line, released in Japan on June 15, 2024 as the BX-33 Booster Weiss Tiger 3-60U. The blade weighs in around 34.6g, with rough stats of 45 Attack, 30 Defense, and 25 Stamina.
Its name leans on the white tiger. "Weiss" is German for white, and the Gear Chip carries Byakko, the White Tiger of the Four Auspicious Beasts in Chinese mythology. The chip also bears the Bakuten Shoot logo, tying the piece to Team Pendragon's history in the series.
Stock build
The stock setup splits into three parts. The Weiss Tiger blade itself folds three functions into one shape: Upper blades that reach over a rival's contact point, Damper blades that soften impacts, and Smash blades that dig in for direct hits. The 3-60 ratchet is a low-height, three-sided ratchet weighing about 6.3g, keeping the build close to the stadium floor. On top of that sits the Unite (U) bit, a rounded semi-flat tip that shifts between balanced stamina and attack movement. As a Booster, it ships without a launcher, so you bring your own.
How it plays
Out of the box, Weiss Tiger plays the middle. The three blade functions spread its work across attack and control, while the low 3-60 ratchet and rounded Unite bit keep it settled and stable rather than explosive. It is not a one-note killer; it trades top-end power for flexibility at the center of the stadium. If you want a blade that stays in the fight and adapts to what the opponent does, this is the idea.
Combos & variants
On the competitive side, players usually point Weiss Tiger in one of two directions. A Balance or Attack build on a 5-60 or 9-60 ratchet with a Point or Unite bit pushes the Smash and Upper blades into quicker, more aggressive work. A Defense leaning, by contrast, runs a 5-60 or 5-70 ratchet with a high or low defensive bit to soak hits and stay upright. Both routes preserve the blade's three-function core and just tune the platform under it. A separate variant, WeissTiger 4-80LR, also appeared in the UX-18 Random Booster Vol. 8, and in the West Hasbro retitled the base build Pearl Tiger, sold in a Pearl Tiger and Gill Shark Dual Pack (G1686).
Where to get one
Since it is a Takara Tomy Booster released in Japan mid-2024, the surest path is an import retailer or marketplace that ships the Basic Line. The exact price and stock move around, so shop around before committing. For the Hasbro crowd, the Pearl Tiger Dual Pack (G1686) hit the US in June 2025, and the UX-18 Random Booster Vol. 8 offers the WeissTiger 4-80LR variant.
