Forge Disc - 8

8 is a Forge Disc released as part of the Burst System as well as the God Layer System. It debuted with the release of the B-79 Starter Drain Fafnir 8 Nothing on April 29th, 2017.

Description
8, like other even numbered Core Discs, is symmetrical and elliptical in shape in order to facilitate a Disc Frame. Each side features four protrusions, each molded into the shape of the number 8. Each of the lower loops of the 8s features gaps, akin to Knuckle, which takes weight away from the center and creates high Outward Weight Distribution and subsequent Flywheel Effect, features perfect for Stamina. Furthermore, 8 is one of the heaviest Discs in the game, heavier than Heavy, Gravity, 2, 4, and 6 and its use can bolster a Beyblade's Knock-Out resistance and attack potential, however, like other heavy discs with high OWD such as Gravity, the use of 8 decreases a Beyblade's Burst resistance as a trade off.

Use in Stamina Customizations
8 can be used in the Stamina Customization Guardian Kerbeus 8Glaive/Cross Revolve. Guardian Kerbeus' Stamina is bolstered by 8 's OWD while Guardian Kerbeus' Burst resistance with a Metal God Chip can compensate for the Burst risk 8 creates and Glaive/Cross and Revolve add Life After Death. Like other Stamina Customizations, this Customization is also weak against attack types.

Overall
8 is a highly versatile Disc, its balance and OWD boosts stamina, its weight boosts Knock-Out resistance and attack potential. As a Core Disc, certain Disc Frames such as Glaive can add traits such as Life After Death. While 8 's poor Burst resistance is a trade off, the weight of many Evolution Layers and Metal God Chips can compensate. However, other Discs such as 4 and 2 have comparable amounts of stamina and weight with considerably less Burst risk.

As such, 8 is not a must have but a welcome addition to any blader's collection.
