==Attack Ring (AR): Upper Force Ring==
'''Weight:''' 4 grams

This AR has three triangle shaped wings that would be used for [[Smash Attack]] in left spin. However, due to first generation limitations, this AR may only be used in right spin. In this spin direction, the large and flat projections create incredible amounts of recoil while providing minimal [[Attack]]; essentially nullifying any potential use it may have had. Useless and fragile, this is often considered one of the worst ARs ever created.

==Attack Ring (AR): Flying Defense==
*'''Weight''': 7 Grams
As the name suggests, the [[Takara]] version of Flying Defense is able to fly. [[Hasbro]] removed this ability and made some other changes. (For more information see Mold Variations below) The width of Flying Defense is 8.84 cm wide (3.50”) and is too large to be thrown out of stadiums such as the [[Tornado Balance Type S]] and many others. For this reason, it may be useful to use the Hasbro version with a low base, such as [[Dragoon S | Dragoon S's]] Storm Grip Base, so it cannot be knocked off balance by an [[Upper Attack|Upper Attacker]] easily. If this AR is on a tall base, it can get knocked off balance causing it to scrape across the stadium floor and stop spinning. Flying Defense is quite breakable which is another reason not to use it competitively.

===Mold Variations===
[[Hasbro]] removed the ability to fly as well as the three attacking points leaving a totally circular AR. For this reason, the [[Hasbro]] mold can be used against spin stealers when paired with a low base. See this example combo:

*'''AR:''' Flying Defense
*'''WD:''' 10 Heavy
*'''SG:''' [[Spin_Gear#V_and_V2_Series_Spin_Gears|Neo Left SG]]
*'''SG Core:''' Heavy Metal Core ([[Metal Driger| Takara Metal Driger]])
*'''BB:''' Storm Grip Base [[Dragoon S]]

As it is perfectly circular Flying Defense is almost impossible to steal spin from.

===Use in Attack Customization===
Because of Trypio's wide attack range, it can be used effectively to some extent with an attack based BB in a [[Hasbro]] stadium.

*'''AR:''' Flying Defense
*'''WD:''' [[Wide Survivor]]/[[Wide Defense | Defense]]/[[Wide Weight Disks | Ten Wide]]
*'''SG:''' [[Spin_Gear#V_and_V2_Series_Spin_Gears|Neo Right SG]]
*'''SG Core''': MW/MG core
*'''BB:''' SG Metal Flat 2 ([[Gaia Dragoon V]])

This custom was primarily used to defeat [[Survival]] type combos in Hasbro stadiums. With a high movement BB, like SG Metal Flat 2, this combo will bounce off walls and push the opposing Beyblade into the pockets. Because of the size of the AR, it will not be able to KO itself. Obviously, this would not be effective against [[Defense]]-type combinations since they will be able to endure the hits. [[Attack]]-types are not this Beyblade's concern, and besides, experienced Bladers will usually not use Attack types in Hasbro stadiums.

Phantom Force is a series of Beyblades produced by [[Hasbro]]. They are recolours of previously released Beyblades with the differences from the previous releases being that there is a translucent tint in all plastic parts of the Beyblade, the plastic is stronger and have a lower friction coefficent. The plastic usually does not have a tight fit and can be very bendable.

Phoenix Inferno: /* Beyblades with this part */

*'''Weight''': 7 grams

This part's tip is what gives this BB it’s uniqueness. It is sharp but flattened on the very end. The movement pattern exhibited when launched straight into a BeyStadium is best suited for Endurance purposes. However, when launched on a slant it begins to move in an extremely controlled, circular attack-type pattern. Seeing as a flat tip would sacrifice all of its [[Survival]] ability while a sharp tip would sacrifice its [[Defense]] ability. Being a mixture of both allows it to have [[Balance]]. Here are two sample customizations:

* '''AR:''' Wing Cross
* '''WD:''' [[Balance Weight Disks | Ten Balance]]
* '''BB:''' [[Semi-Flat]]

* '''AR:''' War Lion
* '''WD:''' [[Heavy Weight Disks | Ten Heavy]]

__TOC__
== Attack Ring (AR): Wing Cross ==

* '''Weight:''' 5 grams

Wing Cross is a strong AR because of its extremely evenly distributed weight, thin size, and smooth edges. It was previously commonly used among [[Zombie | zombies]]/spin-stealers before becoming outclassed by other ARs, such as [[Galeon]]'s War Lion or [[Driger S]]'s Tiger Defense. Despite this, Wing Cross did not become obsolete.

Wing Cross stayed popular in the [[10bBistool]] combo, and also in some [[compact]] combos. This AR has many uses in [[balance]] and [[survival]] type combos.

=== Use in First Generation [[Zombie | Zombies]] ===

Wing Cross was used as an AR in [[first generation]] [[Zombie | zombies]] (that is, before the [[S Series]] was released). It was used because of its balanced weight distribution, thin design, and because its projections (the attack spikes protruding from the AR) could be used to [[steal spin]], as they extended just beyond the reach of the [[Wide Survivor]] WD.

=== IMPORTANT: Mold Variations ===

The mold variation of the Wing Cross AR is what makes it such a popular choice. While the [[Takara]] version of [[Bistool]], [[Gekiryu-oh]] and Ultimate Frostic Dranzer, along with the [[Hasbro]] older versions of [[Gekiryu-oh]] and [[Ultimate Frostic Dranzer]] have thin spikes, the ends of [[Hasbro]] [[Bistool]]'s, [[Ultimate Frostic Dranzer]]'s (new mold), and [[Gekiryu-oh]]'s (new mold) spikes have been connected to the center of the AR, supposedly to prevent breaking. Because of this, Wing Cross's AR's new mold has become a far more popular choice than the older mold.

''All of the references to Wing Cross following in this article (that is, excluding the use in [[Zombie | zombie]] combos refer to Hasbro's refined mold, and not any other mold. While the performance of Wing Cross is still good in other molds, the new mold made this AR outrageously effective.''

=== Use in [[Compact]] Combos ===

Wing Cross did find some use in [[compact]] Beyblades, particularly in a [[4-Layer]] combo using [[Draciel Metal Ball Defenser]]'s BB, Metal Ball Base.

* '''AR:''' Wing Cross ([[Bistool]])
* '''WD:''' [[Heavy Weight Disks | Ten Heavy]]
* '''BB:''' Metal Ball Base ([[Draciel Metal Ball Defenser]])

This is the combo that was used by [[Noland]] in the [[North American Championships]].

Additionally, while not as prominent, it did find some use in the standard [[compact]] set:

* '''AR:''' Wing Cross ([[Bistool]])
* '''WD:''' Ten Heavy
* '''SG:''' [[Spin Gear#V and V2 Series Spin Gears | Neo-Right SG]]
* '''SG Core:''' Heavy Metal Core ([[Metal Driger]])
* '''BB:''' [[SG Semi-Flat]]

Although commonly [[Driger S]]'s Tiger Defense AR is used in this style of combos, Wing Cross has some use. However, because of its higher recoil, it can be a risky decision. Because of its thin frame and light, balanced weight, it doesn't interfere with the spin velocity increase gained from [[compact]] combos.

=== Use in [[Balance]] Combos ===

Exchanging the [[Ten Heavy]] WD with a [[Ten Balance]] WD in the combos listed in the compact section will decrease its [[spin velocity]], but it will increase its [[survival]] abilities substantially. As a reference, here are the altered combos that will be very good as [[balance]] combos.

* '''AR:''' Wing Cross ([[Bistool]])
* '''WD:''' [[Balance Weight Disks | Ten Balance]]
* '''BB:''' Metal Ball Base ([[Draciel Metal Ball Defenser]]) 

* '''AR:''' Wing Cross ([[Bistool]])
* '''WD:''' Ten Balance
* '''SG:''' [[Spin Gear#V and V2 Series Spin Gears | Neo-Right SG]]
* '''SG Core:''' Heavy Metal Core ([[Metal Driger]])
* '''BB:''' [[SG Semi-Flat]]

Additionally, one of the best balance combos, the [[10bBistool]], is discussed later on in this article.

== Weight Disk (WD): Heavy ==

See [[Heavy Weight Disks | Heavy (WD)]].

== Blade Base (BB): Semi-Flat ==

See [[Semi-Flat]].

== How Bistool Changed the North American Scene: [[10bBistool]] ==

There is a very special and strong [[balance]] type combination that was discovered, primarily by [[Bey Brad]] and [[Anubis]]. In fact, the only change from the original Bistool was the WD. The combo is:

* '''AR:''' Wing Cross
* '''WD:''' [[Balance Weight Disks | Ten Balance]]
* '''BB:''' [[Semi-Flat]]

This combo proved to be incredibly powerful as a balance type. In fact, at the [[Off the Chain | OtC]] Tag Beybattle Revolution Tournament at Anime North in 2003, the entire tournament was won with [[10bBistool]]. The following test was performed by KoD:
s
These tests were all done in [[Dranzer Flame Stadium]], 10bBistool vs [[Dranzer V2]], with Bistool always shot first:

* 1st match: Bistool wins by out-spin
* 2nd match: Bistool wins by pocketing [[Dranzer V2]]
* 3rd match: Bistool wins by out-spin
* 4th match: Bistool wins by pocketing Dranzer V2
* 5th match: Bistool wins (Bistool pocketed itself early in the match, but came back to the stadium floor and still out-spun Dranzer V2)
* 6th match: Bistool wins by out-spin
* 7th match: Bistool wins by out-spin
* 8th match: Bistool wins by out-spin
* 9th match: Bistool wins by out-spin
* 10th match: Dranzer V2 wins by pocketing Bistool

So [[10bBistool]] won 9/10 matches, most by out-spinning Dranzer V2.

This Beyblade works particularly well against [[defense]] types and other balance types, who have a hard time defeating it. For general use, this combo can be used.

=== Use of [[10bBistool]] in Final Matches ===

Official tournaments always held their final matches inside of a large stadium with a spinning center and no pockets. [[10bBistool]] is a great choice for this stadium for several reasons.

* The best way to defeat Bistool is to knock it out of the [[Beystadium]]. Because there are no pockets/wall openings inside this stadium, Bistool performs considerably well. [[Bey Brad]] has won tournaments using 10bBistool in this stadium.
* Because the playing field is so large, it is hard to hit Bistool with its biggest weaknesses: a strong [[Attack]] Beyblade. Also, because the Beyblade moves down a slope into the stadium, there is no way to aim to hit Bistool.

=== How to Defeat [[10bBistool]] ===

There are two ways to beat a Bistool with ease.

* '''A Powerful [[Smash Attack]]/[[Upper Attack]] Beyblade:''' Because of [[10bBistool]]'s relatively low weight, it is quite easy to knock around. Smash attack will smash it into walls, into pockets, or out of the [[Beystadium]]. In a smaller stadium, such as [[Tornado Balance Type S]], or in the hands of a player who is good at predicting the opponent and good at aiming, this sort of Beyblade will make quick work of [[10bBistool]].
* '''A Pure [[Survival]] Type Beyblade:''' Because of [[10bBistool]]'s relatively low [[attack]] power, it cannot damage [[survival]] types with ease. A [[Zombie | zombie]], spin-stealer, or other pure [[survival]] type will manage against 10bBistool. Be warned however, that if the [[survival]] type Beyblade is not able to make a sufficient amount of contact with [[10bBistool]], the [[survival]] type will likely be out-spun.

== Overall ==

The discovery of Bistool's hidden power surprised many -- and continues to surprise -- everyone who uses it or has it used against them. This Beyblade's parts have been used to win countless tournaments, which is truly a testament to how effective it can be in the right hands. Deceptively simple, this Beyblade can be used easily to defeat players who do not understand its power. And all of this power comes from the re molded Wing Cross AR.

Metal Dragoon Bearing Stinger

__TOC__
== Name Variation ==

[[Hasbro]] released this product under the name Bearing Stinger.

== Attack Ring (AR): Scissor Cutter ==

* '''Weight:''' 5 grams

The AR of [[Metal Dragoon Bearing Stinger]], Scissor Cutter, is thin and light with decent balance. It is not useful for survival/endurance/stamina or defense purposes, but it has usage as an attack AR. The normal version is far too fragile to use, but the Phantom Force version is more durable, but still very fragile. It is good as an attack AR.

== Weight Disk (WD): Heavy ==

See [[Heavy Weight Disks | Heavy (WD)]].

== Blade Base (BB): Bearing Base ==

* '''Weight:''' 8 grams

Bearing Base is the important part of this Beyblade. The tip of the Bearing Base is [[free-spinning]]. Because of this, when the Beyblade is hit by an opposing Beyblade, it absorbs much of the damage and does not lose spin as easily. The shaft of Bearing Base is held in place by two [[bearings]] (one of the two is plastic, but it can be replaced by NSK [[Bearings|bearing]]), an attribute shared only with [[Burning Kerberus]] and [[Takara]]'s [[Zeus]]. Because of these double [[bearings]], Bearing Base can regain its balance quickly after being hit. The tip of this shaft is very sharp and made of a plastic that has low friction when compared to other tips. It is one of the best tips for [[survival]] Beyblades.

=== Mold Variations ===

[[Hasbro]]'s Bearing Base has a slight but important difference. The tip of the Beyblade is slightly sharper and made out of a harder plastic, resulting in more [[survival]] potential, but substantially less [[defense]] potential.

=== Using Bearing Base Shaft in Other Blade Bases ===

An important trick to learn using the Bearing Base is that the shaft can be removed and put into the casing of [[Wolborg]]'s shaft. This will allow you to use Bearing Stinger's tip in [[5-layer]] combos, which affords you the advantage of using a left spin direction with this tip, along with using [[Wolborg 2]]'s BB. This can even be extended into making [[6-Layer]] combos, as the SG of Wolborg can be placed in [[Dragoon V2]]'s BB. Using this method, you can use Bearing Base's tip in conjunction with SP.

=== Use in [[Zombie|Zombies]] ===

Bearing Base was the only BB choice for first generation [[Zombie|Zombies]]. It was effective for [[survival]], spin-stealing, and life after death. Even after the first generation, the shaft of Bearing Base could still be used in [[5-layer]] and [[6-layer]] Zombie combos.

==== Use in First Generation [[Zombie|Zombies]] ====

Before the release of [[Wolborg]], the only BB available for players wanting to use a [[Zombie]] strategy -- or create any meaningful [[survival]] type -- was Bearing Base. The problem was that since this Beyblade did not use an SG, it was difficult to change its spin direction. However, using the AR of [[Roller Defenser]] in a certain fashion, players were able to change spin direction.

An example combo would be:

* '''AR:''' Roller Defense Ring ([[Roller Defenser]])
* '''WD:''' [[Wide Survivor]]
* '''BB:''' Bearing Base ([[Metal Dragoon Bearing Stinger]])

==== Use in Second Generation [[Zombie|Zombies]] ====

After the release of [[Wolborg]] and [[Wolborg 2]], players had considerably more options when it came to building [[Zombie|Zombies]]. However, Bearing Base's tip was still a strong choice. Neither Wolborg nor Wolborg 2's tips provide the same pure [[survival]] potential. Luckily, the casing for Wolborg's shaft allowed the Bearing Base shaft to be exchanged with it. Unfortunately, the ability to use two bearings is lost.

An example combo would be:

* '''AR:''' Tiger Defense ([[Driger S]])
* '''WD:''' [[Wide Survivor]]
* '''SG:''' [[Spin Gear#A to F Series Spin Gears | Left SG]] (Bearing Version) ([[Wolborg]])
* '''Shaft:''' Bearing Base ([[Metal Dragoon Bearing Stinger]])
* '''BB:''' defense grip1

==== Use in Third Generation [[Zombie|Zombies]] ====

Even during the [[6-layer]] generation, Bearing Base's shaft could still be used to strong results. The trick is similar to second generation [[Zombie|Zombies]].

An example combo would be:

* '''AR:''' Twin Horn ([[Gabriel]] <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[Takara]] Version])
* '''WD:''' [[Wide Survivor]]
* '''SG:''' [[Spin Gear#A to F Series Spin Gears | Left SG]] (Bearing Version) ([[Wolborg]])
* '''Shaft:''' Bearing Base ([[Metal Dragoon Bearing Stinger]])
* '''SP:''' Defense Ring ([[Voltaic Ape]])
* '''BB:''' Customize Grip Base ([[Dragoon V2]])

==== Use in Survival Combos ====
Due to Bearing bases unrivaled endurance, it can be very useful in an endurance combo. The only BB that can even come close to matching it is Auto Change Base ([[Dranzer Auto Change Balancer]]).

An example combo would be:

* '''AR''' Wing Cutter ([[Dranzer Auto Change Balancer]])
* '''WD''' 10 Balance
* '''BB''' Bearing Base ([[Metal Dragoon Bearing Stinger]]) With two NSK Shield Bearings.
This combo has great balance and terrific endurance, meaning it will generally win unless knocked out early, and can even best top-tier compact and balance combos, such as 10B-[[Bistool]].

== Other Versions ==

* '''Bearing Stinger''' - [[Phantom Force]] Version (Clear Blue)

== Overall ==

[[Metal Dragoon Bearing Stinger]] is one of the most useful Beyblades released, mostly due to its BB and shaft. Unfortunately, it is also one of the oldest and rarest. Although the [[Phantom Force]] release alleviated this temporarily, it has now gone back to being practically impossible to track down. It is a shame, because it is also a Beyblade that ever player should own. '''Every player should own multiples of this Beyblade.'''

Kids Dragoon

2011-10-23T13:12:01Z

Phoenix Inferno:

{{Beybox
| image = Kidsdragoon.jpg
| full item name = Kid's Dragoon
| item number = A-31
| beyblade system = [[5-Layer]]
| beyblade type = [[Attack]]
| starter or booster =
}}

__TOC__
== Name Variation ==

[[Hasbro]] released this product under the name [[Kid Dragoon]].

== Attack Ring (AR): Upper Dragoon ==

* '''Weight:''' 7 grams

Upper Dragoon is the best AR for [[Upper Attack]]. Just from looking at it, you can see why this is. This AR has slopes that slant upwards to lift the opposing Beyblade off of the stadium floor. When this occurs, the opposing Beyblade has almost no [[Defense]] ability. They can take critical damage from this, and can be knocked out of the stadium. The slopes are also very long, making it more likely to have a successful [[Upper Attack]].

=== Use in [[Upper Attack]] Customization ===

For Upper Attack to be successful, the slope of Upper Dragoon must be able to reach below the opposing Beyblade. Because of this, using a low BB will make the attack effective against more Beyblades. One of the lowest and fastest BB's available is [[Dragoon S]]'s Storm Grip Base. Combining these two parts, you can make an Upper Attacker that will repeatedly hit the opponent, reducing its [[Survival]] ability and possibly knocking it out. Here is an example combo:

* '''AR:''' Upper Dragoon ([[Master Dragoon]], [[Kid Dragoon]])
* '''WD:''' [[Heavy Weight Disks | Ten Heavy]]
* '''SG:''' [[Spin Gear#V and V2 Series Spin Gears | Neo-Right SG]]
* '''SG Core:''' Heavy Metal Core ([[Takara]] [[Metal Driger]])
* '''BB:''' Storm Grip Base ([[Dragoon S]])

=== Use in Specialized [[Upper Attack]] Customization ===

A popular strategy with [[Upper Attack]] is to create a Beyblade that sits in the center of the stadium and allows the other Beyblade to come to it. When it makes contact, it will be lifted, dealt damage and tossed away until it moves back to the center again. This strategy leaves the opponent with nowhere to go, as the opposing Beyblade cannot make contact with you without damaging itself seriously.

This Beyblade combines [[attack]], [[defense]] and [[survival]] very effectively. It is hard to knock out of the stadium due to its weight and round shape, has good [[survival]] and attacks effectively with Upper Dragoon.

* '''AR:''' Upper Dragoon ([[Master Dragoon]], [[Kid Dragoon]])
* '''WD:''' [[Wide Defense]]
* '''SG:''' [[Spin Gear#A to F Series Spin Gears | Right SG]] (Bearing Version) ([[Wolborg]])
* '''SP:''' Defense Ring ([[Voltaic Ape]])
* '''BB:''' Customize Grip Base ([[Dragoon V2]])

=== Use in [[Defense]] Customization ===

Upper Dragoon is almost perfectly round and is one of the heavier ARs. It can be used to effectively add some [[attack]] ability to your [[defense]]-type Beyblade.

* '''AR:''' Upper Dragoon ([[Master Dragoon]], [[Kid Dragoon]])
* '''WD:''' [[Wide Defense]]
* '''SG:''' [[Spin Gear#V and V2 Series Spin Gears | Neo-Right SG]]
* '''SG Core:''' Heavy Metal Core ([[Takara]] [[Metal Driger]])
* '''BB:''' SG Metal Ball Base ([[Draciel S]])

== Other Versions ==

* '''Kid Dragoon''' - [[Metal Master]] Version (Copper)

== Overall ==

This Beyblade contains Upper Dragoon, '''the best''' AR for right spin [[upper attack]]. It has also found a home in [[defense]] and [[survival]] combos. All players must utilize [[upper attack]] successfully in order to win consistently, simply because it is such an effective form of attack. For that reason alone, there is no reason not to recommend this Beyblade. '''Every blader should own at least one of this Beyblade.'''

Special Parts

2011-10-22T23:39:49Z

Phoenix Inferno: /* Sub Ring */

With [[Beyblade]]s, there are other parts aside from the basic Attack Ring, Weight Disk, Spin Gear, and Beyblade Base.

__TOC__

----

=== Sub Ring ===
----
The Sub Ring is an extra part of certain Attack Rings. The Sub Ring serves as a secondary ring that spins freely. Also, any Attack Ring that is cabable of fitting a Sub Ring must have a Sub Ring with it. 

The following Beyblades come with a subring: 
* [[Galzzly]]
* [[Galman]]
* [[Galeon]]
* [[Guardian Driger]]
* [[Gaia Dragoon]]
* [[Gaia Dragoon V]]
* [[Gaia Dragoon G]]
* [[Gabriel]]
* [[Dark Series|Dark Gaia Dragoon]]
* [[Dark Series|Dark Dragoon]]
* [[Dark Series|Dark Dranzer]]
* [[Dark Series|Dark Driger]]
* [[Dark Series|Dark Draciel]]
* [[Zeus]] 

=== Base Ring ===
----
The Base Ring is a part that comes with the [[Beyblade]] Base SG Wing Base found on Takara's Gabriel and [[Cyber Dragoon Battle Spec.]] The base is capable of holding sub rings so it must have one with it. 

=== Support Parts ===
----
Support parts are parts of the [[Beyblade]] Base that first came in the V2 Series Beyblades. The Support Parts can be customized onto Beyblade Bases capable of bearing Support Parts. 

List of Support Parts:
* Reverse Attack ([[Dragoon V2]])
* Upper Attack ([[Driger V2]])
* Defense Ring ([[Voltic Ape]])
* Cross Survival ([[Dranzer V2]])
* Cross Attack ([[Burning Kerberous]])
* Fin Tector ([[Draciel V2]])
* Over Attack ([[Uriel 2]] Takara only)
* Survivor Ring (Dark Series Beyblades)
* Twin Guard

*Note: ''[[Gaia Dragoon V]] is the only V2 Series Beyblade without Support Parts'' 

=== Bearing and Shaft ===
----
The Bearing and Shaft are parts of certain Free Spinning Spin Gears seen in these Beyblades: 
* [[Bearing Stinger]]
* [[Dranzer S]]
* [[Driger F]]
* [[Wolborg]]
* [[Wolborg 2]]
* [[Burning Kerberous]]
* [[Zeus]] ([[Takara]] ver.)
 
The Bearing is a device to permit constrained relative motion between two parts, typically rotation or linear movement while the shaft is an axle, attached with a tip, that is inserted into the bearing which allows for the free spinning Spin Gear to work.

=== Metal Balls ===
----
Metal Balls are balls that goes into the bases of most of the [[Draciel]] bases. All of the Draciels except for [[Draciel MS]] have some sort of Metal Balls located in the Beyblade Base, but they can only be removed or added, in [[Metal Ball Defense]], [[Draciel S]],[[Draciel F]]. [[Draciel V]], [[Draciel V2]], and [[Draciel G]] also have Metal Balls, but they are fixed into the base. 
Each metal ball approximately weighs 1 gram.

=== Heavy Metal Core ===
----
The Heavy Metal Core, or HMC, is a special part found in the [[Takara]] version of [[Metal Driger]]. It is a completely metal core similar to MG cores found on V and V2- series blades. The core adds weight to the blade and is a desirable for many combinations. 

=== Special Weight Disks ===
----
Some [[Beyblade]]s come with unique weight disks. These weight disks are usually shaped much differently than conventional Weight Disks. They are:

* Wide Defense ([[Official Tournament Companion Accessory Pack]], Special Clear Edition [[Draciel S]])
* Wide Attack (Special Clear Edition [[Driger S]])
* Wide Survivor ([[Random Booster]]s)
* Star Attack ([[Uriel]], Random Boosters)
* Revolver Attack ([[Uriel 2]] (Takara), Random Boosters, [[Wolborg 3]] ([[Hasbro]])
* Gyro Weight Disk ([[Spinning Gyros]] series)
* MG Weight Disk ([[Voltaic Ape]] (Takara), [[Dragoon V2]] (Hasbro and Takara), and [[Magnacore Accessory Pack]] (Takara and Hasbro)) 
* 17 gram WD Piece (Random Booster Act 2)

__TOC__

==Attack Ring (AR): Flying Defense==
*'''Weight''': 7 Grams
As the name suggests, the [[Takara]] version of Flying Defense is able to fly. [[Hasbro]] removed this ability and made some other changes. (For more information see Mold Variations below) The width of Flying Defense is 8.84 cm wide (3.50”) and is too large to be thrown out of stadiums such as the [[Tornado Balance Type S]] and many others. For this reason, it may be useful to use the Hasbro version with a low base, such as [[Dragoon S | Dragoon S's]] Storm Grip Base, so it cannot be knocked off balance by an [[Upper Attack|Upper Attacker]] easily. If this AR is on a tall base, it can get knocked off balance causing it to scrape across the stadium floor and stop spinning. Flying Defense is quite breakable which is another reason not to use it competitively. There is a way to make the AR sort of "Fly" illegally (see below)

==="Flying" Trypio===
*'''AR:''' Flying Defense [[Takara|Takara Tomy]]
*'''WD:'''N/A
*'''SG:''' Right SG (Jumping Version) ([[Trygle]])
*'''BB:''' N/A

Although Illegal for WBO organized play, it is fun to watch it fly out of the stadium. This is the closest thing to a "flying" Trypio. The [[TAKARA|TAKARA TOMY]] version of Flying Defense is useable for this (see reason below)

===Mold Variations===
[[Hasbro]] removed the ability to fly as well as the three attacking points leaving a totally circular AR. For this reason, the [[Hasbro]] mold can be used against spin stealers when paired with a low base. See this example combo:

*'''AR:''' Flying Defense
*'''WD:''' 10 Heavy
*'''SG:''' [[Spin_Gear#V_and_V2_Series_Spin_Gears|Neo Left SG]]
*'''SG Core:''' Heavy Metal Core ([[Metal Driger| Takara Metal Driger]])
*'''BB:''' Storm Grip Base [[Dragoon S]]

As it is perfectly circular Flying Defense is almost impossible to steal spin from.

===Use in Attack Customization===
Because of Trypio's wide attack range, it can be used effectively to some extent with an attack based BB in a [[Hasbro]] stadium.

*'''AR:''' Flying Defense
*'''WD:''' [[Wide Survivor]]/[[Wide Defense | Defense]]/[[Wide Weight Disks | Ten Wide]]
*'''SG:''' [[Spin_Gear#V_and_V2_Series_Spin_Gears|Neo Right SG]]
*'''SG Core''': MW/MG core
*'''BB:''' SG Metal Flat 2 ([[Gaia Dragoon V]])

This custom was primarily used to defeat [[Survival]] type combos in Hasbro stadiums. With a high movement BB, like SG Metal Flat 2, this combo will bounce off walls and push the opposing Beyblade into the pockets. Because of the size of the AR, it will not be able to KO itself. Obviously, this would not be effective against [[Defense]]-type combinations since they will be able to endure the hits. [[Attack]]-types are not this Beyblade's concern, and besides, experienced Bladers will usually not use Attack types in Hasbro stadiums.

Einstein MS

Phoenix Inferno:

{{Beybox
| image = 51TYGVE2VSL_SL500_AA280_.jpg
| full item name = Einstein MS
| item number = MA-09
| beyblade system = [[HMS]]
| beyblade type = [[Attack]]
}}

__TOC__

==Name Change==
[[Einstein MS]] was released by Hasbro as Hopper Attacker.

== Bit Protector (BP): Heavy Metal Emblem ==
The [[Bit Protector]] of this Beyblade is Heavy Metal Emblem. It is the first mould verson of Bit Protectors.

== Attack Ring (AR): Metal Spring ==
* '''Weight:''' 16 grams
Metal Spring is a triangular shaped AR. Its ABS caul is in the center with the metal around the edge, which means that the metal is the part in contact with the opposing beyblade for the most part. The edges of this beyblade are jagged, though they don't extend far. There are also three "heads" that allow for some [[Smash Attack]], though it also results in some recoil. This AR is also very small, and although it isn't very heavy, it can work well in compact customizations, especially more aggressive ones; this being said, [[Jiraiya MS | Jiraiya MS's]] AR, Jiraiya Blade outclasses Metal Spring by being 6 grams heavier, more compact, more effective Smash Attack.

=== Use in Smash Attack Customization ===
Metal Spring has many small extensions that allow for [[Smash Attack]] and although it can have some recoil, a rubber flat tip can help reduce it. Here is an example:

* '''AR:''' Metal Spring ('''Einstein MS''')
* '''WD:''' [[Circle Wide]]
* '''RC:''' Grip Flat Core ([[Dragoon MS]])

=== Use in Compact Customization ===
Metal Spring is also small, which allows it to be used in [[Compact]] customizations, and although it is very outclassed by Jiraiya Blade ([[Jiraiya MS]]) and Metal Ape ([[Magical Ape MS]]), it can be viable in more aggressive compact customizations, when Jiraiya Blade is not available and where Metal Ape ([[Magical Ape MS]]) doesn't perform as well.

* '''AR:''' Metal Spring ('''Einstein MS''')
* '''WD:''' [[Circle Heavy]]
* '''RC:''' Metal Change Core ([[Death Gargoyle MS]])

== Weight Disk (WD): Circle Heavy ==
See [[Circle Heavy]].

== Running Core (RC): Spring Core ==
* '''Weight:''' 3 grams
This RC is very tall and has a spring inside that lets the tip bounce on the launch. Its tip is a plastic semi-flat. The RC is not only tall, but it moves itself into a position where it is easily hit by Attack-type Beyblades. Because of its height and the separation between the two halves of the RC (which causes the tip to stray from the axis often), this RC has very bad balance. So, this RC has no competitive use, but can be fun to use just for the gimmick.

== Other Versions ==
*'''Einstein MS''' - [[HMS Fukobako Lucky Box 2004 Booster]] Version (Light Blue)
*'''Einstein MS''' - [[HMS Random Booster ACT 2]] Version (Fuschia)
*'''Einstein MS''' - Tournament Limited (Dark Green)
*'''Einstein MS''' - Coro Coro Limited (Gold)

==Gallery==
<gallery>

== Overall ==
[[Einstein MS]] isn't needed for any bladers collection, but Metal Spring has some uses, especially when there is no access to [[Jiraiya MS]] or [[Magical Ape MS]].

Burning Kerberous

2011-10-17T12:05:18Z

Phoenix Inferno: /* Spin Gear (SG): Neo SG Right (Double Bearing Core) */

{{Beybox
| image = DSC03004.JPG
| full item name = Burning Kerberous | item number = A-82
| beyblade system = 5-layer
| beyblade type = [[Survival]]
| starter or booster =
}}

__TOC__

== Name Changes ==

Hasbro released this Beyblade under two different names:
*Cerberous
*Howling Spirit

== Attack Ring (AR): Triple Attacker ==
* '''Weight:''' 7 grams

The AR of Burning Kerberous is very unique in that each of its wings perform a different type of attack. The thickest wing performs [[Spike Attack]], the next wing (clockwise) performs [[Upper Attack]], and the wing counter-clockwise from the Spike Attack wing performs [[Force Smash]]. This AR can be used to differentiate between the different types of attack, but it is a jack of all trades and a master of none; it cannot be used in serious competitive play.

== Weight Disk (WD): Ten Wide ==
See [[Wide Weight Disks | Ten Wide]]

== Spin Gear (SG): Neo SG Right (Double Bearing Core) ==
This is the prized part of Burning Kerberous. The Double Bearing Core contains two bearings (hence its name) and provides very good endurance. The tip is similar to the tip of Metal Change Base ([[Driger S]]); when the beyblade is shot at the center, the tip has very high endurance, and when the Beyblade is shot at an angle, the tip moves around in an attack pattern. The Beyblade also switches between attack and endurance during a battle. The bearing case can only hold one other shaft, [[Wolborg 2]]'s shaft.

Sample combination:
*'''AR:''' [[Bearing Gyros]] AR
*'''WD:''' [[Wide Survivor]]
*'''SG:''' [[Spin_Gear#V_and_V2_Series_Spin_Gears|Neo Left SG]] (Double Bearing Core)
*'''SP:''' Survivor Ring ([[Dark Series]])
*'''BB:''' Customize Grip ([[Dragoon V2]])

This combination provides great endurance. The AR, WD, and SP work in unison to spin steal effectively, while the Double Bearing Base provides the endurance.

== Support Part (SP): Cross Attack ==

* '''Weight:''' 2 grams
This SP is used for smash attack, but it is not very efficient, due to the shape of the projections. Other SP parts outclass it, like Fin Tector ([[Draciel V2]])

== Blade Base (BB): Customize Bearing Base ==

* '''Weight:''' 4 grams (10 grams with Double Bearing Core)
This Blade Base can only house the Double Bearing Core. Only the shaft of Burning Kerberous and the shaft of [[Wolborg 2]] can fit into the Double Bearing Core. Therefore, there are only two ways the BB can be used. The blade base can be used with the Burning Kerberous shaft inside the bearing cases, which has great endurance, or it can be used with the Wolborg 2 shaft, which stays fixed when placed in the BB. The Wolborg 2 shaft, when fixed in place, is used for [[attack]] combinations.

This Beyblade has many uses in [[Zombie]] combinations. The Double Bearing SG is an upgrade from the single bearing SGs, giving the zombie/spin stealing combinations more endurance. It is disappointing that only the [[Wolborg 2]] shaft and Howling Spirit shafts can fit into the bearing cases.

__TOC__

==Attack Ring (AR): Flying Defense==
*'''Weight''': 7 Grams
As the name suggests, the [[Takara]] version of Flying Defense is able to fly. [[Hasbro]] removed this ability and made some other changes. (For more information see Mold Variations below) The width of Flying Defense is 8.84 cm wide (3.50”) and is too large to be thrown out of stadiums such as the [[Tornado Balance Type S]] and many others. For this reason, it may be useful to use the Hasbro version with a low base, such as [[Dragoon S | Dragoon S's]] Storm Grip Base, so it cannot be knocked off balance by an [[Upper Attack|Upper Attacker]] easily. If this AR is on a tall base, it can get knocked off balance causing it to scrape across the stadium floor and stop spinning. Flying Defense is quite breakable which is another reason not to use it competitively. There is a way to make the AR sort of "Fly" illegally (see below)

==="Flying" Trypio===
*'''AR:''' Flying Defense [[TAKARA|TAKARA TOMY]
*'''WD:'''N/A
*'''SG:''' Right SG (Jumping Version) ([[Trygle]])
*'''BB:''' N/A

Although Illegal for WBO organized play, it is fun to watch it fly out of the stadium. This is the closest thing to a "flying" Trypio. The [[TAKARA|TAKARA TOMY]] version of Flying Defense is useable for this (see reason below)

===Mold Variations===
[[Hasbro]] removed the ability to fly as well as the three attacking points leaving a totally circular AR. For this reason, the [[Hasbro]] mold can be used against spin stealers when paired with a low base. See this example combo:

*'''AR:''' Flying Defense
*'''WD:''' 10 Heavy
*'''SG:''' [[Spin_Gear#V_and_V2_Series_Spin_Gears|Neo Left SG]]
*'''SG Core:''' Heavy Metal Core ([[Metal Driger| Takara Metal Driger]])
*'''BB:''' Storm Grip Base [[Dragoon S]]

As it is perfectly circular Flying Defense is almost impossible to steal spin from.

===Use in Attack Customization===
Because of Trypio's wide attack range, it can be used effectively to some extent with an attack based BB in a [[Hasbro]] stadium.

*'''AR:''' Flying Defense
*'''WD:''' [[Wide Survivor]]/[[Wide Defense | Defense]]/[[Wide Weight Disks | Ten Wide]]
*'''SG:''' [[Spin_Gear#V_and_V2_Series_Spin_Gears|Neo Right SG]]
*'''SG Core''': MW/MG core
*'''BB:''' SG Metal Flat 2 ([[Gaia Dragoon V]])

This custom was primarily used to defeat [[Survival]] type combos in Hasbro stadiums. With a high movement BB, like SG Metal Flat 2, this combo will bounce off walls and push the opposing Beyblade into the pockets. Because of the size of the AR, it will not be able to KO itself. Obviously, this would not be effective against [[Defense]]-type combinations since they will be able to endure the hits. [[Attack]]-types are not this Beyblade's concern, and besides, experienced Bladers will usually not use Attack types in Hasbro stadiums.

__TOC__

==Black Dranzer==

[[Black Dranzer]] contains no performance differences from '''Dranzer F'''.

==Attack Ring (AR): Flame Wing==
*'''Weight''': 5 grams

'''Flame Wing''' is a multi-attack style ring capable of both [[Upper Attack]] and [[Smash Attack]]. Unfortunately its ‘Jack of All Trades’ design tends to give it more setbacks than advantages. The sources of its [[Smash Attack]] are the two blunt notches on the end of the spikes. Upon contact these notches have the potential to cause significant damage to its opponent in right spin. These protruding notches are also the source for the AR’s main weakness; durability. Like many Smash attackers, '''Flame Wing''' is fragile and the notches have a tendency to break off with constant use.

Since the spikes are angled upwards it is capable of [[Upper Attack]]. The upper attack however is inferior to a lot of the competition ([[Kid Dragoon |Upper Dragoon]], [[Driger G |Triple Tiger]]). The cause of this is the smaller angle of the slope (around 10 degrees) compared to '''Upper Dragoon'''’s 15 degrees (Right Spin). This is an AR that should be used when superior [[Upper Attack]] or [[Smash Attack]] AR’s are unavailable.

===Use in [[Smash Attack]] Customization===

*'''AR''': Flame Wing
*'''WD''': 10 Wide
*'''BB''': Grip Base ([[Dragoon Grip Attacker]])

This combination is lightweight, resulting in high speeds. The fast movement can be hard to control, unless a shooting technique such as the [[Sliding Shoot]] is employed. Use of this technique improves the chances of performing an early KO.

===Use in [[Upper Attack]] Customization===

*'''AR''': Flame Wing
*'''WD''': 10 Heavy
*'''SG''': [[Spin_Gear#V_and_V2_Series_Spin_Gears|Neo Right ]]
*'''SG Core''': Heavy Metal Core ([[Metal Driger]])
*'''BB''': Storm Grip ([[Dragoon S]])

This customization makes the best of the [[Upper Attack]] that '''Flame Wing''' has. Its heavier weight and low height allows it to lift the opposing beyblade, instead of being pushed downwards.

==Weight Disk (WD): 8 Heavy==
See [[Heavy Weight Disks]]

==Spin Gear (SG): Right SG (Triple Change Version)==
*'''Weight''': 5 grams

'''SG Triple Change Version''' can only be used with '''Flame Change Base'''. Its casing houses a triple-tipped plastic piece, which when pulled down allows the player to change between flat, sharp, and semi-flat tips. While this tip adds versatility, and acts as a good practice base for newer players; problems emerge. First, while able to use three different tips with three different battle styles; it isn’t able to do any of them very well since the SG is too tall. Second, there is a manufacturing flaw with many of the SG’s that make the triple-tipped plastic piece too loose to stay on one tip. So during a battle it can get stuck between two of them, significantly reducing endurance and costing the player the match. This unreliability automatically disqualifies it from being a serious choice for many competitive players; but as mentioned before, newer players might find this useful to practice with. This Was later incorporated in [[VariAres]]'s D:D

==Blade Base (BB): Flame Change Base==

*'''Weight''': 9 grams

This base can only be used in conjunction with '''SG Triple Change Version'''. It contains no other notable features.

==Overall==

'''Dranzer F''' is an aesthetically pleasing blade with uses for newer players to the game thanks to its ‘Jack of All Trades’ features. This characteristic though prevents it from being a top tier blade since it is bested in every attack and movement style by more specific parts. Its notches are more fragile and less effective than many others; and its [[Upper Attack]] slopes are smaller in degree. The SG/BB is also useless for competitive play due to height and reliability issues. '''Overall, [[Dranzer F]] is only recommended for beybladers looking to increase their collection.'''

__TOC__

== Name Changes ==

Hasbro released this Beyblade under two different names:
*Cerberous
*Howling Spirit

== Attack Ring (AR): Triple Attacker ==
* '''Weight:''' 7 grams

The AR of Burning Kerberous is very unique in that each of its wings perform a different type of attack. The thickest wing performs [[Spike Attack]], the next wing (clockwise) performs [[Upper Attack]], and the wing counter-clockwise from the Spike Attack wing performs [[Force Smash]]. This AR can be used to differentiate between the different types of attack, but it is a jack of all trades and a master of none; it cannot be used in serious competitive play.

== Weight Disk (WD): Ten Wide ==
See [[Wide Weight Disks | Ten Wide]]

== Spin Gear (SG): Neo SG Right (Double Bearing Core) ==
This is the prized part of Burning Kerberous . The Double Bearing Core contains two bearings (hence its name) and provides very good endurance. The tip is similar to the tip of Metal Change Base ([[Driger S]]); when the beyblade is shot at the center, the tip has very high endurance, and when the Beyblade is shot at an angle, the tip moves around in an attack pattern. The Beyblade also switches between attack and endurance during a battle. The bearing case can only hold one other shaft, [[Wolborg 2]]'s shaft.

Sample combination:
*'''AR:''' [[Bearing Gyros]] AR
*'''WD:''' [[Wide Survivor]]
*'''SG:''' [[Spin_Gear#V_and_V2_Series_Spin_Gears|Neo Left SG]] (Double Bearing Core)
*'''SP:''' Survivor Ring ([[Dark Series]])
*'''BB:''' Customize Grip ([[Dragoon V2]])

This combination provides great endurance. The AR, WD, and SP work in unison to spin steal effectively, while the Double Bearing Base provides the endurance.

== Support Part (SP): Cross Attack ==

* '''Weight:''' 2 grams
This SP is used for smash attack, but it is not very efficient, due to the shape of the projections. Other SP parts outclass it, like Fin Tector ([[Draciel V2]])

== Blade Base (BB): Customize Bearing Base ==

* '''Weight:''' 4 grams (10 grams with Double Bearing Core)
This Blade Base can only house the Double Bearing Core. Only the shaft of Burning Kerberous and the shaft of [[Wolborg 2]] can fit into the Double Bearing Core. Therefore, there are only two ways the BB can be used. The blade base can be used with the Burning Kerberous shaft inside the bearing cases, which has great endurance, or it can be used with the Wolborg 2 shaft, which stays fixed when placed in the BB. The Wolborg 2 shaft, when fixed in place, is used for [[attack]] combinations.

Phoenix Inferno: /* Metal Wheel: VariAres */

{{Beybox

| full item name = VariAres D:D

| beyblade type = [[Defense]]

}}

==Face: Ares==

The Face on this Beyblade depicts Ares, the Greek God of War.

==Metal Wheel: VariAres==
* '''Weight:''' 43.6 grams

VariAres is unarguably the most aggressively designed Wheel ever released in MFB, and is the second Metal Wheel capable of spinning in both Left and Right Spin (the first being Gravity Perseus). It has a relatively thick, wide three-winged design. Each wing ends in an abrupt, sharp point that provides intense [[Smash Attack]] in both spin directions. In addition to this, along each wing there are six indents of varying size that provide [[Spike Attack]] which works in tandem with the sharp Smash Attack points on the ends of each wing. However, while VariAres' attack power may be high, it does suffer from huge amounts of recoil because it is so aggressively designed. This can make VariAres a risky Wheel to use in some respects, but as the game has evolved, lighter, more compact Attack Wheels such as [[Lightning LDrago 100HF | Lightning]] have become harder and harder to use effectively without the assistance of something like BD145. VariAres can backfire due to its recoil, but it does not need the width and weight of BD145 to be effective.

Between each wing is a large gap. Fitted in between these gaps is a yellow PC Frame, that protrudes outwards in a triangular shape as far as the Metal Frame. Unlike other 4D Beyblades, VariAres' PC Frame is built in conjunction with the Metal Frame. On the bottom side of the Metal Wheel where the mechanism that controls the plastic wings release are located, there is cover of a hard plastic sheet.

When VariAres is spinning at high spin speeds, the PC Frame retracts towards the centre of VariAres, exposing more Metal, and therefore producing more [[Smash Attack]]. This is considered "Attack Mode". As VariAres' spin velocity lowers, the PC Frame extends out to it's full length, allowing for more Plastic contact in an attempt to reduce recoil. This is considered "Defense Mode".

===Use in Attack customization===
Due to its relatively heavy weight, three gaps, and prominent indentations, VariAres produces incredibly potent [[Smash Attack]]. A Metal Face - Heavy and Rubber Flat variant in unison with VariAres' high rotational force reduces VariAres' recoil, and provides proficient [[Smash Attack]] in the top-tier attack customizations: ''MF/-H VariAres CH120R2F/LRF'' and ''MF/-H VariAres R145R2F/LRF''.

==Bottom: Delta Drive (D:D)==
* '''Weight:''' 0.7 grams

D:D is of a round shape with a translucent black colour, and with a height comparable to 145WD. Like most 4D Bottoms, D:D's gimmick is mode change-related. Like Dranzer F's [[Dranzer F| Flame Change Base]] from the Plastic generation, D:D has the gimmick of triple mode change. D:D features a Sharp Bottom, a Wide Ball Bottom, and a Flat Bottom all on one axis, which can be changed manually between battles. To change modes, the tip can be pulled out slightly, rotated on its axis, and then pushed back in on the new tip. D:D is evidently an incredibly versatile bottom, but this versatility is made useless by the fact that the Bottoms encased are all outclassed in one way or another; S is outclassed by WD, WB is outclassed by CS, and F is outclassed by RF.

===Use in Balance customization===

Because each tip contained within D:D is outclassed, it has only found use in sub-par Balance combinations such as ''MF-H Basalt Kerbecs D:D''.

==Other Versions==

* '''VariAres D:D Mars Red Ver.''' – CoroCoro Magazine (Red)
* '''VariAres D:D Phantom Blue Ver.''' - CoroCoro Magazine (Blue)

==Gallery==

==Overall==
VariAres quickly found its home in Smash Attack customs and is regarded by some to be superior to [[Lightning LDrago 100HF | Lightning]], which has held its own position as the most popular [[Smash Attack]] Wheel since release. The mechanism within D:D is an improvement over the classic Flame Change Base, but like Flame Change Base, it is almost as useless competitively. VariAres alone makes this worth a purchase, though.

==Face: Ares==

The Face on this Beyblade depicts Ares, the Greek God of War.

==Metal Wheel: VariAres==
* '''Weight:''' 43.6 grams

VariAres is unarguably the most aggressively designed Wheel ever released in MFB, and is the second Metal Wheel capable of spinning in both Left and Right Spin (the first being Gravity Perseus). It has a relatively thick, wide three-winged design. Each wing ends in an abrupt, sharp point that provides intense [[Smash Attack]] in both spin directions. In addition to this, along each wing there are six indents of varying size that provide [[Spike Attack | Smash Attack]] which works in tandem with the sharp Smash Attack points on the ends of each wing. However, while VariAres' attack power may be high, it does suffer from huge amounts of recoil because it is so aggressively designed. This can make VariAres a risky Wheel to use in some respects, but as the game has evolved, lighter, more compact Attack Wheels such as [[Lightning LDrago 100HF | Lightning]] have become harder and harder to use effectively without the assistance of something like BD145. VariAres can backfire due to its recoil, but it does not need the width and weight of BD145 to be effective.

Between each wing is a large gap. Fitted in between these gaps is a yellow PC Frame, that protrudes outwards in a triangular shape as far as the Metal Frame. Unlike other 4D Beyblades, VariAres' PC Frame is built in conjunction with the Metal Frame. On the bottom side of the Metal Wheel where the mechanism that controls the plastic wings release are located, there is cover of a hard plastic sheet.

When VariAres is spinning at high spin speeds, the PC Frame retracts towards the centre of VariAres, exposing more Metal, and therefore producing more [[Smash Attack]]. This is considered "Attack Mode". As VariAres' spin velocity lowers, the PC Frame extends out to it's full length, allowing for more Plastic contact in an attempt to reduce recoil. This is considered "Defense Mode".

===Use in Attack customization===
Due to its relatively heavy weight, three gaps, and prominent indentations, VariAres produces incredibly potent [[Smash Attack]]. A Metal Face - Heavy and Rubber Flat variant in unison with VariAres' high rotational force reduces VariAres' recoil, and provides proficient [[Smash Attack]] in the top-tier attack customizations: ''MF/-H VariAres CH120R2F/LRF'' and ''MF/-H VariAres R145R2F/LRF''.

==Bottom: Delta Drive (D:D)==
* '''Weight:''' 0.7 grams

D:D is of a round shape with a translucent black colour, and with a height comparable to 145WD. Like most 4D Bottoms, D:D's gimmick is mode change-related. Like Dranzer F's [[Dranzer F| Flame Change Base]] from the Plastic generation, D:D has the gimmick of triple mode change. D:D features a Sharp Bottom, a Wide Ball Bottom, and a Flat Bottom all on one axis, which can be changed manually between battles. To change modes, the tip can be pulled out slightly, rotated on its axis, and then pushed back in on the new tip. D:D is evidently an incredibly versatile bottom, but this versatility is made useless by the fact that the Bottoms encased are all outclassed in one way or another; S is outclassed by WD, WB is outclassed by CS, and F is outclassed by RF.

===Use in Balance customization===

Because each tip contained within D:D is outclassed, it has only found use in sub-par Balance combinations such as ''MF-H Basalt Kerbecs D:D''.

Burning Kerberous

2011-10-15T23:59:11Z

Phoenix Inferno:

{{Beybox
| image = DSC03004.JPG
| full item name = Burning Kerberous | item number = A-82
| beyblade system = 5-layer
| beyblade type = [[Survival]]
| starter or booster =
}}

__TOC__

== Name Changes ==

Hasbro released this Beyblade under two different names:
*Cerberous
*Howling Spirit

== Attack Ring (AR): Triple Attacker ==
* '''Weight:''' 7 grams

The AR of Burning Kerberous is very unique in that each of its wings perform a different type of attack. The thickest wing performs [[Spike Attack]], the next wing (clockwise) performs [[Upper Attack]], and the wing counter-clockwise from the Spike Attack wing performs [[Force Smash]]. This AR can be used to differentiate between the different types of attack, but it is a jack of all trades and a master of none; it cannot be used in serious competitive play.

== Weight Disk (WD): Ten Wide ==
See [[Wide Weight Disks | Ten Wide]]

== Spin Gear (SG): Neo SG Right (Double Bearing Core) ==
This is the prized part of Burning Kerberous . The Double Bearing Core contains two bearings (hence its name) and provides very good endurance. The tip is similar to the tip of Metal Change Base ([[Driger S]]); when the beyblade is shot at the center, the tip has very high endurance, and when the Beyblade is shot at an angle, the tip moves around in an attack pattern. The Beyblade also switches between attack and endurance during a battle. The bearing case can only hold one other shaft, [[Wolborg 2]]'s shaft.

Sample combination:
*'''AR:''' [[Bearing Gyros]] AR
*'''WD:''' [[Wide Survivor]]
*'''SG:''' [[Spin_Gear#V_and_V2_Series_Spin_Gears|Neo Left SG]] (Double Bearing Core)
*'''SP:''' Survivor Ring ([[Dark Series]])
*'''BB:''' Customize Grip ([[Dragoon V2]])

This combination provides great endurance. The AR, WD, and SP work in unison to spin steal effectively, while the Double Bearing Base provides the endurance.

== Support Part (SP): Cross Attack ==

* '''Weight:''' 2 grams
This SP is used for smash attack, but it is not very efficient, due to the shape of the projections. Other SP parts outclass it, like Fin Tector ([[Draciel V2]])

== Blade Base (BB): Customize Bearing Base ==

* '''Weight:''' 4 grams (10 grams with Double Bearing Core)
This Blade Base can only house the Double Bearing Core. Only the shaft of Burning Kerberous and the shaft of [[Wolborg 2]] can fit into the Double Bearing Core. Therefore, there are only two ways the BB can be used. The blade base can be used with the Howling Spirit shaft inside the bearing cases, which has great endurance, or it can be used with the Wolborg 2 shaft, which stays fixed when placed in the BB. The Wolborg 2 shaft, when fixed in place, is used for [[attack]] combinations.

== Overall ==
This Beyblade has many uses in [[Zombie]] combinations. The Double Bearing SG is an upgrade from the single bearing SGs, giving the zombie/spin stealing combinations more endurance. It is disappointing that only the [[Wolborg 2]] shaft and Howling Spirit shafts can fit into the bearing cases.

Thunder Dragon

{{Beybox
| image = Thunder Dragon11.jpg
| full item name = Thunder Dragon
| item number = -
| beyblade system = [[HMS]]
| beyblade type = [[Attack]]
}}

__TOC__

Thunder Dragon is one of the winners of the 2003 Coro Coro [[HMS]] Beyblade design contest, the other winner was [[Sea Dragon]]. It was the first Beyblade to use a [[Customize Weight Disks | CWD]].

==Name Change==
Hasbro released [[Thunder Dragon]] as Thunder Serpent.

==Bit Protector (BP): Thunder Emblem==
The [[Bit Protector]] of this Beyblade is Thunder Emblem. It is the second mold version of Bit Protectors.

==Attack Ring (AR): Spark Dragon==
* '''Weight:''' 14 grams
Spark Dragon has two separate parts, the [[Metal Frame]] and the [[ABS Caul]]. The Metal Frame sits on the inside of the ABS Caul and allows it to spin freely around it. The ABS Caul has three blunt contact points, along with a number of smaller ones which gives it some [[Smash Attack]]. The problem with Spark Dragon, and why no Blader should ever use it is because it is both free spinning and because all of the metal on the AR is from the Metal Frame, which will never come into contact with other Beyblades. Because the ABS Caul is free spinning, there will never be enough force to Smash an opponent, it will just continue spinning when hit. The [[TAKARA]] version of Spark Dragon can spark.

===Ruling Clarification===
Unlike other [[Metal Frame | Metal Frames]] on HMS ARs where they must be unscrewed to detach, Spark Dragon's Metal Frame pops in and out without any tools required, and it should be mentioned that it is in fact illegal to use it without the [[ABS Caul]] of Spark Dragon.

==Weight Disk (WD): CWD Free Survivor==
* '''Weight:''' 17 grams
CWD Free Survivor is the one part that can truly make Thunder Dragon a worthy purchase. CWD Free Survivor has an almost identical design to the Survivor Ring of the [[Dark Series]] of plastic Beyblades, except that it is free spinning as the name implies. With its circular form, CWD Free Survivor is a welcome addition to many types of Beyblades. It can protect against [[Upper Attack]], and is heavier than even [[Circle Heavy]].

It should be mentioned, that in situations where CWD Free Survivor can be chosen, CWD Defense Ring from [[Sea Dragon]] can take its place and perform more effectively because of both its 2 gram weight advantage and the fact that it is fixed rather than free spinning.

===Use in Defense Customization===
You can build a nice, heavy [[Defense]] customization by utilizing CWD Free Survivor.

* '''AR:''' Samurai Upper ([[Samurai Changer MS]])
* '''WD:''' CWD Free Survivor ('''Thunder Dragon''')
* '''RC:''' Bearing Core 2 [Worn tip] ([[Jiraiya MS]])

==Running Core (RC): Metal Weight Flat Core==
* '''Weight:''' 3 grams
Metal Weight Flat Core can be considered an upgrade to [[Gaia Dragoon MS | Gaia Dragoon MS's]] Flat Core. The added weight on the interior of the RC makes it slightly heavier, and moderately increases its survival and controllability compared to Flat Core. However, this is where the differences end; Metal Weight Flat Core has the exact same design as Flat Core in all other respects.

===Mold Variations===
The Takara Metal Weight Flat Core has a wider tip than the one that Hasbro produced. This results in a higher movement speed in the Takara version.

===Use in Upper Attack Customization===
Metal Weight Flat Core is not the most desirable choice out there for [[Attack]] types, but it can be used.

* '''AR:''' Slash Upper ([[Slash Riger MS]])
* '''WD:''' Circle Wide
* '''RC:''' Metal Weight Flat Core ('''Thunder Dragon''')

==Other Versions==

==Overall==
Aside from CWD Free Survivor, Thunder Dragon does not have a lot to offer, and even CWD Free Survivor has been outclassed by other parts. If you already have CWD Defense Ring, or even CWD God Ring from [[Shining God MS]], there is no reason for you to buy this Beyblade.

Grand Ketos T125/WD145RS

2011-10-15T22:21:09Z

Phoenix Inferno: /* Clear Wheel: Ketos */

{{Beybox
| image = GrandKetosT125WD145RS.jpg
| full item name = Grand Ketos T125/WD145RS
| item number = BB-82
| beyblade system = [[Metal Fight Beyblade | Hybrid Wheel System]]
| beyblade type = [[Defense]]
}}

'''''Note:''''' ''Grand Ketos was originally obtained through [[Random Booster Vol.5 Grand Ketos]], where, instead of the conventional single "prize" Beyblade included in Random Boosters, TAKARA-TOMY included two versions. One came with T125 and a white Ketos, while the other version came with WD145 and a dark blue Ketos. Sonokong later released a starter of these Beyblades, which included a Light Launcher 2.''

==Name Change==
Grand '''Ketos''' was released by Hasbro as Grand '''Cetus'''. Hasbro has as of now only released the dark blue Grand Cetus WD145RS.

==Face: Ketos==
The Face on this Beyblade depicts Cetus, one of the 88 constellations in space. This Face represents the Whale.

==Clear Wheel: Ketos==
*'''Weight:''' 2.5 grams
The Ketos Clear Wheel is perfectly symmetrical. It shows two waves flowing on each side, going in opposite directions, with white whale tails shown on both ends. It Resembles [[Dranzer V2]]'s AR, Cross Dranzer

==Metal Wheel: Grand==
*'''Weight:''' 29.3 grams
Grand is an intriguing wheel; it's thicker than [[Earth Aquila 145WD#Metal Wheel: Earth | Earth]] at the thickest point on its interconnected, smooth design. However, it is not as successful defensively, as it is 3.5 grams lighter than the second mold of Earth. On the Grand wheel there are six “walls” and with every two walls there is a gap dividing them into three sections. In each section there is a wall with small textured indents; this creates some recoil which is never a plus for a Defense-oriented Wheel. Because of this, it does have some [[Smash Attack]], but it is mediocre and is completely outclassed by the multitude of other great [[Attack]]-based Wheels available, such as [[Lightning LDrago 100HF#Metal Wheel: Lightning | Lightning]].

==Track: T125==
*'''Weight:''' 1.7 grams
T125 has four upward-facing wing protrusions spaced apart widely. The Track is designed to work in a similar way to DF145, although the effect it produces, like DF145, is also negligible. The performance of this Track is similar to D125, and as a height, is generally overshadowed by CH120 due to its versatility. T125 has use in [[Survival | Stamina]] customizations, and can also be used effectively in [[Attack]] customizations if CH120 is unavailable.

===Use in Attack Customization===
T125 is an excellent alternative to the 145 track in the attack combination: ''MF Pegasis T125R2F''. T125 is also used in the Gravity Perseus Attack combination, ''MF Gravity Perseus T125R2F''. They are both excellent [[Smash Attack]] customizations.

==Track: WD145==
*'''Weight:''' 3.6 grams
WD145 features three “wings”. The wings are similar to that of ED145, the only difference being that its wings cannot spin freely. The defensive capabilities of this part are outclassed in all areas by other Defensive Tracks, such as C145, GB145, BD145, and 230, as it does not absorb hits as successfully. Furthermore, it is easy for the low attacker’s Wheel to be caught between the Wheel and WD145, causing a lot of recoil and spin reduction in the process.

==Bottom: Rubber Sharp==
*'''Weight:''' 0.8 grams
As its name suggests, RS is a sharp tip made of rubber, and with that, all of the problems sharp tips are known for, as well as the poor [[Survival | Stamina]] of rubber-based bottoms, and their tendency to wear down after extensive use, are brought along with it. However, RS's primary purpose is to counteract [[Attack]] customizations. The high friction of the rubber, along with the lack of movement due to the sharp tip make it incredibly difficult to move, and thus, KO.

RS does seem to have difficulty sometimes outlasting left-spinning customs, but against right-spin [[Attack]] customs, despite it's poor balance and [[Survival | Stamina]], it is able to effectively neutralize them.

===Use in Defense Customization===
RS can be put to use in the top-tier combination, ''MF-H Basalt Kerbecs 85RS''.

==Overall==
Grand, while not a horrible Wheel, was still outclassed heavily by Earth and Vulcan in [[Defense]] and [[Attack]] respectively at the time of its release. T125 is an interesting Track, and should be chosen over the WD145 version. The main reason for buying this Beyblade should be for RS, arguably the best Defensive Bottom currently available. Only because RS wears down after extensive use, '''every Blader should own multiples of this Beyblade.'''

__TOC__

==Attack Ring (AR): Flying Defense==
*'''Weight''': 7 Grams
As the name suggests, the [[Takara]] version of Flying Defense is able to fly. [[Hasbro]] removed this ability and made some other changes. (For more information see Mold Variations below) The width of Flying Defense is 8.84 cm wide (3.50”) and is too large to be thrown out of stadiums such as the [[Tornado Balance Type S]] and many others. For this reason, it may be useful to use the Hasbro version with a low base, such as [[Dragoon S | Dragoon S's]] Storm Grip Base, so it cannot be knocked off balance by an [[Upper Attack|Upper Attacker]] easily. If this AR is on a tall base, it can get knocked off balance causing it to scrape across the stadium floor and stop spinning. Flying Defense is quite breakable which is another reason not to use it competitively. There is a way to make the AR sort of "Fly" illegally (see below)

==="Flying" Trypio===
*'''AR:''' Flying Defense [[TAKARA|TAKARA TOMY]
*'''WD:'''N/A
*'''SG:''' Jumping SG ([[Trygle]])
*'''BB:''' N/A

Although Illegal for WBO organized play, it is fun to watch it fly out of the stadium. This is the closest thing to a "flying" Trypio. The [[TAKARA|TAKARA TOMY]] version of Flying Defense is useable for this (see reason below)

===Mold Variations===
[[Hasbro]] removed the ability to fly as well as the three attacking points leaving a totally circular AR. For this reason, the [[Hasbro]] mold can be used against spin stealers when paired with a low base. See this example combo:

*'''AR:''' Flying Defense
*'''WD:''' 10 Heavy
*'''SG:''' [[Spin_Gear#V_and_V2_Series_Spin_Gears|Neo Left SG]]
*'''SG Core:''' Heavy Metal Core ([[Metal Driger| Takara Metal Driger]])
*'''BB:''' Storm Grip Base [[Dragoon S]]

As it is perfectly circular Flying Defense is almost impossible to steal spin from.

===Use in Attack Customization===
Because of Trypio's wide attack range, it can be used effectively to some extent with an attack based BB in a [[Hasbro]] stadium.

*'''AR:''' Flying Defense
*'''WD:''' [[Wide Survivor]]/[[Wide Defense | Defense]]/[[Wide Weight Disks | Ten Wide]]
*'''SG:''' [[Spin_Gear#V_and_V2_Series_Spin_Gears|Neo Right SG]]
*'''SG Core''': MW/MG core
*'''BB:''' SG Metal Flat 2 ([[Gaia Dragoon V]])

This custom was primarily used to defeat [[Survival]] type combos in Hasbro stadiums. With a high movement BB, like SG Metal Flat 2, this combo will bounce off walls and push the opposing Beyblade into the pockets. Because of the size of the AR, it will not be able to KO itself. Obviously, this would not be effective against [[Defense]]-type combinations since they will be able to endure the hits. [[Attack]]-types are not this Beyblade's concern, and besides, experienced Bladers will usually not use Attack types in Hasbro stadiums.

| full item name = Howling Spirit | item number = A-82

}}

__TOC__

== Name Changes ==

Hasbro released this Beyblade under two different names:
*Cerberous
*Howling Spirit

== Attack Ring (AR): Triple Attacker ==
* '''Weight:''' 7 grams

The AR of Burning Kerberous is very unique in that each of its wings perform a different type of attack. The thickest wing performs [[Spike Attack]], the next wing (clockwise) performs [[Upper Attack]], and the wing counter-clockwise from the Spike Attack wing performs [[Force Smash]]. This AR can be used to differentiate between the different types of attack, but it is a jack of all trades and a master of none; it cannot be used in serious competitive play.

== Weight Disk (WD): Ten Wide ==
See [[Wide Weight Disks | Ten Wide]]

== Spin Gear (SG): Neo SG Right (Double Bearing Core) ==
This is the prized part of Burning Kerberous . The Double Bearing Core contains two bearings (hence its name) and provides very good endurance. The tip is similar to the tip of Metal Change Base ([[Driger S]]); when the beyblade is shot at the center, the tip has very high endurance, and when the Beyblade is shot at an angle, the tip moves around in an attack pattern. The Beyblade also switches between attack and endurance during a battle. The bearing case can only hold one other shaft, [[Wolborg 2]]'s shaft.

Sample combination:
*'''AR:''' [[Bearing Gyros]] AR
*'''WD:''' [[Wide Survivor]]
*'''SG:''' [[Spin_Gear#V_and_V2_Series_Spin_Gears|Neo Left SG]] (Double Bearing Core)
*'''SP:''' Survivor Ring ([[Dark Series]])
*'''BB:''' Customize Grip ([[Dragoon V2]])

This combination provides great endurance. The AR, WD, and SP work in unison to spin steal effectively, while the Double Bearing Base provides the endurance.

== Support Part (SP): Cross Attack ==

* '''Weight:''' 2 grams
This SP is used for smash attack, but it is not very efficient, due to the shape of the projections. Other SP parts outclass it, like Fin Tector ([[Draciel V2]])

== Blade Base (BB): Customize Bearing Base ==

* '''Weight:''' 4 grams (10 grams with Double Bearing Core)
This Blade Base can only house the Double Bearing Core. Only the shaft of Howling Spirit and the shaft of [[Wolborg 2]] can fit into the Double Bearing Core. Therefore, there are only two ways the BB can be used. The blade base can be used with the Howling Spirit shaft inside the bearing cases, which has great endurance, or it can be used with the Wolborg 2 shaft, which stays fixed when placed in the BB. The Wolborg 2 shaft, when fixed in place, is used for [[attack]] combinations.

Metal Dragoon Bearing Stinger

}}

__TOC__
== Name Variation ==

[[Hasbro]] released this product under the name Bearing Stinger.

== Attack Ring (AR): Scissor Cutter ==

* '''Weight:''' 5 grams

The AR of [[Metal Dragoon Bearing Stinger]], Scissor Cutter, is thin and light with decent balance. It is not useful for survival/endurance/stamina or defense purposes, but it has usage as an attack AR. The normal version is far too fragile to use, but the Phantom Force version is more durable, but still very fragile. It is good as an attack AR

== Weight Disk (WD): Heavy ==

See [[Heavy Weight Disks | Heavy (WD)]].

== Blade Base (BB): Bearing Base ==

* '''Weight:''' 8 grams

Bearing Base is the important part of this Beyblade. The tip of the Bearing Base is [[free-spinning]]. Because of this, when the Beyblade is hit by an opposing Beyblade, it absorbs much of the damage and does not lose spin as easily. The shaft of Bearing Base is held in place by two [[bearings]] (one of the two is plastic, but it can be replaced by NSK [[Bearings|bearing]]), an attribute shared only with [[Burning Kerberus]] and [[Takara]]'s [[Zeus]]. Because of these double [[bearings]], Bearing Base can regain its balance quickly after being hit. The tip of this shaft is very sharp and made of a plastic that has low friction when compared to other tips. It is one of the best tips for [[survival]] Beyblades.

=== Mold Variations ===

[[Hasbro]]'s Bearing Base has a slight but important difference. The tip of the Beyblade is slightly sharper and made out of a harder plastic, resulting in more [[survival]] potential, but substantially less [[defense]] potential.

=== Using Bearing Base Shaft in Other Blade Bases ===

An important trick to learn using the Bearing Base is that the shaft can be removed and put into the casing of [[Wolborg]]'s shaft. This will allow you to use Bearing Stinger's tip in [[5-layer]] combos, which affords you the advantage of using a left spin direction with this tip, along with using [[Wolborg 2]]'s BB. This can even be extended into making [[6-Layer]] combos, as the SG of Wolborg can be placed in [[Dragoon V2]]'s BB. Using this method, you can use Bearing Base's tip in conjunction with SP.

=== Use in [[Zombie|Zombies]] ===

Bearing Base was the only BB choice for first generation [[Zombie|Zombies]]. It was effective for [[survival]], spin-stealing, and life after death. Even after the first generation, the shaft of Bearing Base could still be used in [[5-layer]] and [[6-layer]] Zombie combos.

==== Use in First Generation [[Zombie|Zombies]] ====

Before the release of [[Wolborg]], the only BB available for players wanting to use a [[Zombie]] strategy -- or create any meaningful [[survival]] type -- was Bearing Base. The problem was that since this Beyblade did not use an SG, it was difficult to change its spin direction. However, using the AR of [[Roller Defenser]] in a certain fashion, players were able to change spin direction.

An example combo would be:

* '''AR:''' Roller Defense Ring ([[Roller Defenser]])
* '''WD:''' [[Wide Survivor]]
* '''BB:''' Bearing Base ([[Metal Dragoon Bearing Stinger]])

==== Use in Second Generation [[Zombie|Zombies]] ====

After the release of [[Wolborg]] and [[Wolborg 2]], players had considerably more options when it came to building [[Zombie|Zombies]]. However, Bearing Base's tip was still a strong choice. Neither Wolborg nor Wolborg 2's tips provide the same pure [[survival]] potential. Luckily, the casing for Wolborg's shaft allowed the Bearing Base shaft to be exchanged with it. Unfortunately, the ability to use two bearings is lost.

An example combo would be:

* '''AR:''' Tiger Defense ([[Driger S]])
* '''WD:''' [[Wide Survivor]]
* '''SG:''' [[Spin Gear#A to F Series Spin Gears | Left SG]] (Bearing Version) ([[Wolborg]])
* '''Shaft:''' Bearing Base ([[Metal Dragoon Bearing Stinger]])
* '''BB:''' defense grip1

==== Use in Third Generation [[Zombie|Zombies]] ====

Even during the [[6-layer]] generation, Bearing Base's shaft could still be used to strong results. The trick is similar to second generation [[Zombie|Zombies]].

An example combo would be:

* '''AR:''' Twin Horn ([[Gabriel]] <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[Takara]] Version])
* '''WD:''' [[Wide Survivor]]
* '''SG:''' [[Spin Gear#A to F Series Spin Gears | Left SG]] (Bearing Version) ([[Wolborg]])
* '''Shaft:''' Bearing Base ([[Metal Dragoon Bearing Stinger]])
* '''SP:''' Defense Ring ([[Voltaic Ape]])
* '''BB:''' Customize Grip Base ([[Dragoon V2]])

==== Use in Survival Combos ====
Due to Bearing bases unrivaled endurance, it can be very useful in an endurance combo. The only BB that can even come close to matching it is Auto Change Base ([[Dranzer Auto Change Balancer]]).

An example combo would be:

* '''AR''' Wing Cutter ([[Dranzer Auto Change Balancer]])
* '''WD''' 10 Balance
* '''BB''' Bearing Base ([[Metal Dragoon Bearing Stinger]]) With two NSK Shield Bearings.
This combo has great balance and terrific endurance, meaning it will generally win unless knocked out early, and can even best top-tier compact and balance combos, such as 10B-[[Bistool]].

== Other Versions ==

* '''Bearing Stinger''' - [[Phantom Force]] Version (Clear Blue)

== Overall ==

[[Metal Dragoon Bearing Stinger]] is one of the most useful Beyblades released, mostly due to its BB and shaft. Unfortunately, it is also one of the oldest and rarest. Although the [[Phantom Force]] release alleviated this temporarily, it has now gone back to being practically impossible to track down. It is a shame, because it is also a Beyblade that ever player should own. '''Every player should own multiples of this Beyblade.'''

[[Hasbro]] released this product under the name [[Bearing Stinger]].

== Attack Ring (AR): Scissor Cutter ==

* '''Weight:''' 5 grams

The AR of [[Metal Dragoon Bearing Stinger]], Scissor Cutter, is thin and light with decent balance. It is not useful for survival/endurance/stamina or defense purposes, but it has usage as an attack AR. The normal version is far too fragile to use, but the Phantom Force version is more durable, but still very fragile. It is good as an attack AR

Phantom Force is a series of Beyblades produced by [[Hasbro]]. They are recolours of previously released Beyblades with the differences from the previous releases being that there is a translucent tint in all plastic parts of the Beyblade, the plastic is stronger and have a lower friction coefficent. 

'''Phantom Force Beyblades:''' 
*[[Metal Dragoon Bearing Stinger | Bearing Stinger]] (blue)

__TOC__

==Face: Leone==
The Face on this Beyblade depicts '''Leo''', the fifth astrological sign in the zodiac. Leo is the Lion.

==Clear Wheel: Leone==
*'''Weight:''' 3.0 grams
The regular release of Leone is a translucent, blue-green piece. Leone is circular with small ridge details.

==Metal Wheel: Rock==
*'''Weight:''' 31.4 grams
Rock has six large protrusions with small, shallow gaps between each one. It also overhangs the Track much like the original [[Leone 145D | Leone]] Metal Wheel, although to a smaller extent. Rock was once top tier but with releases like [[Earth]] and Basalt it was out classed

Rock is somewhat useful for [[Smash Attack]], and can be used to relative success in conjunction with a Metal Face.

==Track: 145==
*'''Weight:''' 1.5 grams

145, along with its variants (C145, DF145, etc.), was once the highest Track available, until the 230 Track was released with [[Flame Byxis 230WD | Flame Byxis]]. It can be used in Stamina customs to great effect due to its tall height, which allows for more wobbling as the Beyblade loses its [[spin velocity]]. 145, as tall as it is, makes it easily susceptible to low Attackers; however, this should not be seen as a drawback because Stamina Types are not traditionally designed to be used against [[Attack]] Types.

===Use in Attack Customization===
145 can be put to good use in the [[Attack]] custom, ''MF Pegasis 145RF''. Pegasis has been proven to perform viciously when used in unison with 145, which maximizes the effectiveness of its [[Smash Attack]].

===Use in Stamina Customization===
145 can be put to good use in the custom, ''Burn Bull 145SD''.

==Bottom: Wide Ball==
*'''Weight:''' 0.7 grams
WB used to be widely considered the best Defense bottom when launched at 80% power with a Beylauncher. It has since been outclassed by the likes of RS, RSF, and CS.

===Use in Defense Customization===
WB was once one of the preferred choices of Bottom for Defense customizations, however, it has been outclassed in performance by RS in the top-tier customization ''MF-H Earth Bull GB145WB''.

==Other Versions==

Galeon

Phoenix Inferno: /* Attack Ring (AR): War Lion */

{{Beybox
| image = Galeon.jpg
| full item name = Galeon

| beyblade system = [[5-Layer]]
| beyblade type = [[Balance]]

}}

__TOC__
== Attack Ring (AR): War Lion ==

* '''Weight:''' 6 grams

The AR of [[Galeon]], War Lion, is the prized part of this Beyblade. Although one of the earliest released ARs, it still sees major use years after its release. This AR has both great [[defense]] and [[survival]] properties. Because the AR is so small, it has a tendency to have a high [[spin velocity]], which is perfect for defense types.

However, this AR's survival properties are the most important. The AR is almost perfectly round, which gives it great survival because there are very few points of contact at which the recoil would be strong. However, the true secret to War Lion's survival capability is in its [[S-AR]]. When War Lion is hit and the [[free-spinning]] [[S-AR]] recieves the hit, the Beyblade will recieve almost no damage. This is because when the S-AR is hit, only the [[free-spinning]] S-AR is hit with the opposing force, while the rest of the Beyblade continues to spin unhindered. A downside is it breaks easily.

=== Use in [[Survival]]/[[Zombie]] Customization ===

As discussed above, War Lion has great [[survival]] potential due to its round shape and [[free-spinning]] [[S-AR]]. The small projections protruding from War Lion can also [[steal spin]] effectively. The round shape of the AR will not interfere with [[life after death]]. You can make a great survival-type combo with War Lion. Here is an example:

* '''AR:''' War Lion ([[Galeon]])
* '''S-AR:''' War Lion ([[Galeon]])
* '''WD:''' [[Wide Survivor]]
* '''SG:''' [[Spin_Gear#A_to_F_Series_Spin_Gears|Left SG]] (Bearing Version) ([[Wolborg]])
* '''SG Shaft:''' Bearing Base ([[Metal Dragoon Bearing Stinger]])
* '''BB:''' Defense Grip Base 2 ([[Wolborg 2]])

=== Use in [[Defense]] + [[Survival]] Customization ===

Although War Lion has great [[survival]] potential, its [[defense]] ability is strong as well. To outspin an [[attack]] type Beyblade, you need good defense. Here is an example combo that can be used to beat an attack Beyblade:

* '''AR:''' War Lion ([[Galeon]])
* '''S-AR:''' War Lion ([[Galeon]])
* '''WD:''' [[Wide Defense]]
* '''SG:''' [[Spin_Gear#A_to_F_Series_Spin_Gears|Left SG]] (Bearing Version 2) ([[Wolborg 2]])
* '''BB:''' Defense Grip Base 2 ([[Wolborg 2]])

=== Use in [[Defense]] Customization ===

As discussed above, War Lion has great [[defense]] potential due to its round, small shape. This shape results in a higher [[spin velocity]]. Also, the [[S-AR]] can prevent powerful recoil. You can make a great defense-type combo with War Lion. Here is an example:

* '''AR:''' War Lion ([[Galeon]])
* '''S-AR:''' War Lion ([[Galeon]])
* '''WD:''' [[Wide Defense]]
* '''SG:''' [[Spin_Gear#V_and_V2_Series_Spin_Gears|Neo-Right]]
* '''SG Core:''' Heavy Metal Core ([[Takara]] [[Metal Driger]])
* '''BB:''' SG Metal Ball Base ([[Draciel S]])

=== Use in [[Compact]] Customization ===

War Lion has a round and small shape. Because of this, it can achieve a high [[spin velocity]]. While this is good for [[defense]] combos, it is also good for [[compact]] combos. Here is an example:

* '''AR:''' War Lion ([[Galeon]])
* '''S-AR:''' War Lion ([[Galeon]])
* '''WD:''' [[Ten Heavy]]
* '''SG:''' [[Spin_Gear#V_and_V2_Series_Spin_Gears|Neo-Right]]
* '''SG Core:''' Heavy Metal Core ([[Takara]] [[Metal Driger]])
* '''BB:''' [[SG Semi-Flat]]

As you will notice, this combo is the same basic concept as an uncustomized [[Galeon]]. However, it improves on the most basic functions to produce a great Beyblade.

== Overall ==

[[Galeon]] follows an interesting trend of older Beyblades having some of the most useful parts. Perhaps it is because that Beyblade was at its purest, most strategic form then (which HMS made an attempt to return to). Aside from that, however, Galeon is still a great Beyblade. Even uncustomized, it can be used to good results. However, the really great point of [[Galeon]] is its AR, War Lion. This AR can be used in modern combos as one of the best ARs available. With great [[defense]] and [[survival]] potential, '''every player should own multiples of this Beyblade.'''

__TOC__

== Takara/Hasbro Difference ==

[[Takara]] released [[Jumping Base]] with only the BB, but the [[Hasbro]] version contains a Tiger Defenser ([[Driger S]]) as well as an [[Wide Weight Disks | Eight Wide]] in order to make it into an entire Beyblade for release.

== Blade Base (BB): Jumping Base ==
* '''Weight:''' 10 grams
Jumping Base is versatile in the sense that it comes with three changeable tips (Sharp, Flat, and Round). The reason why the BB is not used is due to the combination of its light weight, height, and spring that makes it an easy target to KO. If it recovers from a hit and is not KOed however, it can bounce around in an attempt to stabilize itself which wears down its RPM. Its height makes it an easy target to hit as well and offers a weak spot if the spring were to be hit and at times break off. This BB should not be used for competitive play.

=== Use in Casual Play ===
Jumping Base is not be able to jump the entire time, it can bounce a few times which produces a jumping effect. This can be used for [[attack]] since it has multiple chances to perform [[Gattyaki]] due to its bounce in an attempt to KO or even knock the opponent’s Beyblade off balance on every bounce. This is not a reliable BB in this sense due to the few number of bounces it has on the start. With each bounce even, the amount of force decreases until it stays stable along the stadium surface. Again, it is not recommended for use of competitive play because of its unreliability along with same reasons previously mentioned above.

[[Compact]] customizations are ideal for Gattyaki. If you would like to try this out, here is an example:
* '''AR:''' Tiger Defenser ([[Driger S]])
* '''WD:''' [[Heavy_Weight_Disks|Ten Heavy]]
* '''BB:''' Jumping Base (Sharp Tip)

== Other Versions ==
* [[Jumping Base]] - [[Hasbro]] Version

== Overall ==
Jumping Base has an interesting gimmick, however, this gimmick has no serious use in competitive play. Its light weight from being part of the 4-Layer system, tall height, and springiness prevents it from any usage. This Beyblade should only be worth getting if you are a collector. However, if you are in need of a Tiger Defense and are unable find a [[Driger S]], it would be a wise idea to purchase the [[Hasbro]] version of just to get the AR.

Gaia Dragoon MS

Phoenix Inferno: /* Attack Ring (AR): Metal Saucer */

| full item name = Gaia Dragoon MS (Metal Spike)
| item number = A-123
| beyblade system = [[HMS]]
| beyblade type = [[Attack]]
| starter or booster =
}}

__TOC__

==Name Change==
[[Gaia Dragoon MS]] was released by Hasbro as Strata Dragoon MS.

==Bit Protector (BP): Gaia Emblem==
The [[Bit Protector]] of this Beyblade is the Gaia Emblem. It is the first mold version of Bit Protectors.

==Attack Ring (AR): Metal Saucer==
* '''Weight:''' 14 grams
Metal Saucer has a very circular form, due in part to its [[Metal Frame]] which has 16 gear-like notches surrounding its perimeter. These notches, combined with its circular form, and very light weight make this AR a viable option for [[Zombie | Spin Stealing]] and [[Survival]] customizations. It is considered inferior to Advance Balancer from [[Advance Averazer]] however due to the shape of its [[ABS Caul]] and the fact that a design flaw causes the Metal Frame to rattle around no matter what parts it is used with (this was fixed for Advance Balancer).

===Shared Metal Frame===
Metal Saucer shares the same Metal Frame as Advance Balancer from [[Advance Averazer]].

===Use in Spin Stealing Customization===
Contrary to popular belief, Metal Saucer is a usable AR, but as mentioned, only use this when you do not have access to Advance Balancer.

*'''AR:''' Metal Saucer ([[Gaia Dragoon MS]])
*'''WD:''' Circle Wide
*'''RC:''' Bearing Core ([[Wolborg MS]]) or Bearing Core 2 ([[Jiraiya MS]])

Select your core depending on the situation. If you expect to see more attackers and older stadiums or [[Tornado Balance Type S]], you should select Bearing Core 2 to prevent knock out. If you expect to see [[Defense]] or [[Survival]] type Beyblades and stadiums like [[Tornado Balance]] or [[Tornado Attack]], you should select Bearing Core as it has better survival than Bearing Core 2.

==Weight Disk (WD): Circle Heavy==
See [[Circle Heavy]].

==Running Core (RC): Flat Core==
* '''Weight:''' 2 grams
Flat Core was one of the first Attack-based Running Cores released, but quickly became severely outdated with the release of [[Dragoon MS]] and its Grip Flat Core. It provides decent movement, but there is absolutely no reason to choose it over the numerous other options available now (Grip Flat Core Ultimate Mode, Metal Flat Core, Metal Weight Grip Core, etc).

==Overall==
Even though [[Gaia Dragoon MS]] was one of the very first HMS to be released, but is still very easily obtained, so it has very little collectible value. Its parts are also severely outdated in all respects. There is no reason to buy Gaia Dragoon MS.
