{{disambigBakuganTabsLite}}{{for|the ''Bakugan: Battle Brawlers'' Green Ability Card version|Ventus (Card)}}'''Ventus''' may refer refers to one elemental power of wind in ''[[Bakugan Battle Brawlers]]'', and wind and earth in ''[[Battle Planet]]''. Bakugan that belong to Ventus have a wide variety of shapes, including [[Skyress|birds]] and [[Plitheon|dragons]]. ==Generation 1==[[File:Ventus.svg|100px|thumb|Original symbol]]'''Ventus''', {{Nihongo|'''Zephyros'''|ゼフィロス|Zefirosu}} in the Japanese version, is the [[Attribute]] of wind found on [[Vestroia]] and present within [[Bakugan]]. The planet of Ventus is swift and silent yet within its borders lurks a vicious cycle that overwhelms intruders and punishes them for trespassing. Ventus Bakugan are fast and powerful like hurricane winds. Once their enemies are caught in the eye of the followingstorm, they are defenseless against the Ventus' wrath. ===Bakugan Battle Brawlers===The Ventus [[Legendary Soldiers|Legendary Soldier]] was [[Oberus]] before the [[Attribute Energies|Attribute Energy]] was given to [[Ingram]]. ====Gameplay====[[File:Earlier_Japanese_Card_without_Ventus_attribute.jpg|thumb|An early Japanese Gate Card, notably lacking Ventus]]*Ventus-attributed Bakugan have average [[G-Power]]. Ventus-Attributed Bakugan draw their power from cunning tactics. They think before they play. They choose their [[Ability Card]]s wisely, as the biggest boost is not always the best. They lure their opponent in by giving them the upper hand - then, just when their opponent is getting cocky, they spring their trap and come out victorious! With Ventus-Attributed abilities such as Blow Away, Ventus Bakugan can turn the tides in any battle. Ventus was developed later than the other five Attributes (debuting at the same time as the ''Bakugan Battle Brawlers'' anime in Japan), so Ventus was not included in earlier Japanese/Korean [[Gate Card]]s. The Gate Bonus gained by a Ventus Bakugan standing on one such Gate Card is that of the next Attribute of opponent Bakugan as counted in the clockwise direction, according to [https://bakugan.wiki/images/8/89/Rulebook_v2.1-2-jp.JPG Bakugan Rulebook Ver.2.1]. For example, if the opponent Bakugan's Attribute is [[Haos#Legacy)|Haos]], the Ventus Bakugan will take the Gate Bonus of [[Pyrus#Legacy|Pyrus]]; if the opponent Bakugan's Attribute is [[Subterra]], the Ventus Bakugan will take the Gate Bonus of [[Darkus#Legacy|Darkus]]. If the opponent Bakugan is also of Ventus for Attribute, both Bakugan will take the Gate Bonus of Pyrus. =====Attribute Relations=====* [[Diagonal Relation]]: [[Haos#Legacy|Haos]]* Side Relations: [[Aquos#Legacy|Aquos]] and [[Pyrus#Legacy|Pyrus]]* [[Triple Node]]: [[Subterra]] and [[Darkus#Legacy|Darkus]] ====Notable Users===={| class="wikitable"!

In ''[[Bakugan: Mechtanium Surge]]'', the Ventus color scheme is green and silver. ===Trading Card Game==={{Ventus Legacy Cardlog}} ===Trivia===*The original Ventus symbol was derived from the Han character for wind, [[wikt:風|風]] (''kaze'').*Ventus [[Longfly]] has the highest G-Power for a Ventus Bakugan, with 1250 Gs. ====Etymology====Ventus comes from the Latin ''[[wikt:ventus|ventus]]'', which means "a wind." The Japanese name, Zephyros, comes from the Greek ''[[wikt:Ζέφυρος|Ζέφυρος]]'', "the west wind." ==Generation 2==[[File:Bbp ventus.png|21px]] {{Nihongo|'''Ventus '''|ベンタス|Bentasu}} is one of the six elemental [[Factions]] that Bakugan can belong to. It is the Faction of Earth and Wind, although it could be better categorized as the Faction of Nature. The region on [[Vestroia (RebootGeneration 2)|Vestroia]] where Ventus Bakugan reside is known as [[Ventana]].[[File:Bbp ventus.png|120px|thumb|New Ventus Symbol]] ===Information==={{BQuote|Ventus is the Faction of natural growth and decay and harnesses the power of nature to increase its [[Energy Card|energy]]. Believing "you grow, or you die", Ventus players try to grow quickly! They're known to defend themselves by reducing their opponent's ability to attack and inflict harmful damage.|Bakugan.com}} Among the Factions that have made a spiritual comeback from the original ''[[Bakugan Battle Brawlers]]'', Ventus has received the largest amount of changes and has been completely revamped from its legacy counterpart. It effectively merged the traits of the initial [[Ventus#Legacy|Ventus]] and discontinued [[Subterra]] [[Attribute|Attributes]], and contains aspects of both earth and wind under one universal classification. Ventus is stylized as the Faction of growth, and the Bakugan belonging to it resonate the most with nature, exploiting abilities that allow them to assault their opponents with vicious quakes, gemstones, and turbulent gusts. As such, the variety of Bakugan within the faction now also contains terrestrial beings such as [[Trox (Generation 2)|tyrannosaurids]] and [[Maxotaur|minotaurs]]. ====Color Scheme and Design====Reinforcing their newfound association with nature and plant life, Ventus Bakugan in their ball form are primarily a saturated, earthy green in coloration, comparable to verdant foliage. They have secondary lime highlights, and their tertiary color is yellow, although the lime portions are peculiarly less prominent in their monster forms. Some members of the Ventus Faction, particularly [[Maxotaur]], have areas of brown incorporated into their design, and a few candidates such as [[Trox (Generation 2)|Trox]] have forest camouflage patterns, further emphasizing their affinity for flora. Like most Bakugan introduced in the ''[[Bakugan Battle Planet]]'' reboot, a few Ventus Bakugan contain areas of white, and black details located under their armor. Black is also represented as a quaternary color on Ventus Bakugan in sphere form beginning from the ''[[Geogan Rising]]'' set of products. In '' series[[Evolutions]]'' the color scheme of all Factions were completely changed. Ventus Bakugan during this set of products were a lime green with dark green and dark red as secondary highlights and yellow as an accent color.*The Ventus Faction symbol has been redesigned, and is printed on the top left of all Ventus [[Character Cards]] and left of the type box on all other Ventus [[Ability Card (Generation 2)|Ability Cards]], starting from the ''[[Armored Alliance]]'' [[Cardsets in Bakugan: Armored Alliance|card expansions]] on wards all Bakugan have the faction Symbol Printed on them as well, in addition to appearing as a watermark in the text box on cards. It appears as a leaf or insect like mask. ===Anime===Ventus is utilized by one of the core members of the [[Awesome Brawlers]] in the ''[[Bakugan Battle Planet]]'' anime series: prank loving, tech-whiz [[Wynton Styles]]. There are several other characters who use the Faction as well, most of which are listed below: {| class="wikitable"! Brawler!

This makes them slightly weaker on average early in the game before they can build their Energy reserves, but a strong end-game presence that can overwhelm opponents utilizing powerful abilities that other Factions wouldn't have access to until later. To further reinforce this advantage, Ventus' exclusive [[Tag-Word Ability ]] is [[Turbo]], which supplies Bakugan with bonuses if they have the most Energy Cards in play compared to all other opponents. Their combat keyword is [[File:ShadowStrike_Icon.png|18px]] [[ShadowStrike]], which prevents their [[File:Icon-power.png|15px]] [[B-Power]] and [[File:Icon-damage.png|22px]] [[Damage Rating]] from being reduced. It shares this mechanic with {{Attribute|Darkus2}}, though it is occasionally seen on {{Attribute|Aurelus}} Bakugan.  Directly opposing the {{Attribute|Pyrus2}} Faction's skillset of temporary Energy generation and Energy Card destruction, Ventus specializes in permanent Energy creation. This trait is exhibited in several cards that allow Ventus Bakugan to energize extra cards, as well as recharging Energy that has already been used. [[Turn to Energy]] and [[Rabid Attack]] are both examples of these effects. This ability isn't restricted to utility purposes, as Ventus can also use their Energy affinity to [[One with Nature|force their opponent to energize useful cards]], effectively eliminating them. Ventus also sports more abilities capable of reducing their opponent's stats than any other Faction, and often prefers to weaken their enemies rather than enhancing their own strengths. Ironically, this makes their own combat keyword, ShadowStrike, a direct counter to common strategies employed by Ventus. Ventus players also need to be wary of Pyrus Bakugan, as they can destroy their Energy Cards before they can accumulate an abundance of them. Since the introduction of [[File:Icon-bakugear.png|21px]] [[Baku-Gear]] in ''Armored Alliance'', Ventus has become the primary Faction of Baku-Gear destruction and has the most cards capable of removing them, such as [[Entropic Touch]]. Other strategies abused by the Ventus Faction include [[Ventus Mirage|forcing the enemy to reroll]], receiving [[AtmosFEAR|positive benefits]] when an opponent plays a [[Flip Card]], and having both players look at the top card of their deck and getting boosts if theirs costs more Energy. [[Ventuvision]] is an example of the latter effect.  Ventus is primarily paired with {{Attribute|Aquos2}} and {{Attribute|Haos2}} on [[Dual Faction Card |Dual Faction Cards]] and Faction exclusive [[BakuCore (Game piece)|BakuCore]] bonuses; conversely, Ventus Flip Cards usually defend against damage from Pyrus and Darkus. These paired Factions share exclusive Tag-Word Abilities: [[Boost]] for Ventus and Aquos, and [[Trifecta]] for Ventus and Haos. Boost provides bonuses if the player has seven or more Energy Cards in play, whereas Trifecta grants additional effects if there are three or more BakuCores attached to the player's Bakugan. As of the ''[[Secrets of the Geogan]]''[[Card sets in Bakugan : Geogan Rising|card expansion]], Ventus is also paired with {{Attribute|Pyrus2}} and {{Attribute|Darkus2}}, with two new keywords to coincide with them: [[Stoke]] for Ventus and Pyrus, and [[Scrounge]] for Ventus and Darkus. Stoke allows the player to copy a Stoke ability's effect for the cost of two Energy, whereas Scrounge allow the player to look at the top card of their deck. If the aforementioned card meets a listed requirement, they receive bonuses. ====Released Bakugan=========Battle Planet====={{For|the list of all released Ventus Battle BrawlersPlanet Bakugan|Bakulog (Battle Planet)#Ventus}} =====Armored Alliance====={{For|the list of all released Ventus Armored Alliance Bakugan|Bakulog (Armored Alliance)#Ventus}} =====Geogan Rising====={{For|the list of all released Ventus Geogan Rising Bakugan|Bakulog (Geogan Rising)#Ventus}} =====Evolutions====={{For|the list of all released Ventus Evolutions Bakugan|Bakulog (Evolutions)#Ventus}} ===Trivia===*Ventus' functionality in the reboot bears some resemblance to Green mana in fellow trading card game ''Magic: The Gathering'', though to a slightly lesser degree than other Factions that also share gameplay mechanics. Both have a green color motif and a focus on quickly generating energy resources. ====Etymology====Like its Generation 1 predecessor, Ventus is entirely derived from ''[[wikt:ventus|ventus]]'', which is Latin for "wind" or "a wind". This can be slightly misleading, as more often than not Ventus Bakugan possess earthen undertones and aren't always associated with wind. Its Japanese name, Bentasu, is a direct translation of the same word.  ===Gallery===<gallery>Wynton_Styles_and_Trox_Art.png|[[Wynton Styles]] and [[Trox (Generation 2)|Trox]]Ventus_bakugan_website.png|Ventus on the Bakugan websiteVentana.png|[[Ventana]]Ventus_Falcron_Ultra_(Open).png|Ventus [[Falcron|Falcron Ultra]]</gallery> {{Bakugan/nav}}{{TCGNavbox}} [[Category:Factions]][[Category:Bakugan Battle Planet]][[Category:Attribute]][[Category:Bakugan: Gundalian Invaders]][[Category:Bakugan: New Vestroia]][[Category:Bakugan Battle Brawlers]][[Category:Bakugan: Mechtanium Surge]][[Category:Bakugan Dimensions]]
