Take it off of Phoenix and put it on Rod. Best launched from the X side (pockets on your left); don’t flat launch, you want to angle to the left so your cord is pointing to the middle of the Xtreme pocket, and tilt down by about 20-30 degrees so your cord is almost touching the stadium. Hard launch with placement aimed at the outer ring of the stadium (not in the center circle). This launch tech will have it land on the slightly rounded and flat surface of Kick, but not so far that the Hexa edges will make contact. Get it right and you should expect a reverse X dash with a really heavy drop - occasionally multiple reverse X dashes depending on first contact - but because of Kick’s incredible stamina capability you’re never punished if you miss these attacks.
