Energy Layer - Kerbeus K2

Kerbeus K2, known in Japan as, is an Energy Layer released as part of the Dual Layer System. It debuted with the release of Kerbeus K2 Limited Press on April 2nd, 2016.

Description
Kerbeus K2 is a round and thick Energy Layer designed for defense. The center of the Layer depicts three canine heads like the Layer's namesake, the mythological three headed hound Cerberus, each with flames pouring out from the sides of their mouths. Consisting of a chain-like bottom layer and a six bladed top layer, every other "link" in the chain layer protrudes outwards slightly and each blade on the top layer features a large gap in between. While these features may imply that this layer has a lot of recoil, due to its height, typically only the chain layer comes into contact with the opposing Beyblade and the slight protrusions are too shallow to cause any noticeable recoil and subsequent stamina loss.

Because of this Kerbeus K2 exhibits exhibits excellent defensive and stamina properties in ideal conditions. However this layer exhibits one major weakness, when the Beyblade is knocked off balance the top layer will come into contact with the opposing Beyblade, due to the aforementioned large gaps between each blade, Kerbeus K2 will then become very likely to lose by Burst Finish. Thus when using this Energy Layer it is critical to pair it with a Performance Tip with great stability.

Overall
Kerbeus K2 is a great and commonly available defensive Energy Layer, however its still outclassed by other Layers such as Odax and its dependence on stability somewhat restricts customization options. While not the best, this Layer is a welcome addition to any Blader's collection.
