       Spinning discs are a type of spinner/flywheel

       />weapon. They are usually round, but can be square. They can be
       horizontal

       />but most are vertical

       />Many-toothed versions are known as saws, and work by cutting
       instead of kinetic energy transfer.
       Advantages
       - A disc is a very MoI-efficient shape.
       - Discs are less likely to break from an impact than bars/blades

       />are.
       - If they get the right hit, powerful vertical discs can knock
       lighter opponents into the air.
       Disadvantages
       - Like other spinners, spinning disks are complicated, making
       them sometimes unreliable.
       - Disc spinners are generally at a disadvantage when they clash
       with bar spinners, as bar spinners usually have much more reach
       and less central mass in the gaps between the teeth, meaning
       that disc spinners are more likely to take damage to their discs
       from bar spinners than the other way around.
