Forge Disc - Down

Down is a Forge Disc released as part of the Burst System. It debuted with the release of the B-56 Booster Unlock Unicorn Down Needle on August 6th, 2016.

Description
Down features a dropping shape akin to Armed and Vertical with thin bands that connect the interior of the Disc with the weighted nubs along the bottom portion. Like all other Forge Discs, it features two tabs with stylized Ds that protrude from the top to fit into the slots of an Energy Layer.

Down has two features that give both advantages and disadvantages: The first is height and shape, while excellent for stability and stamina, the weighted nubs create a rough perimeter and the low positioning makes it easy for said nubs to contact the stadium floor late in battle when spin velocity is low, rendering any Life-After-Death null. But at the same time Down 's design is meant to lower the center of gravity on a Beyblade, doing so increases a Beyblade's stability and reduces the risk of floor scrapes. In addition, the wide shape of Down focuses much of its weight around the perimeter, giving this Disc decent stamina properties and high Burst resistance equal to that of Armed. The second is weight, Down 's average weight means that its Knock-Out defense is sub-par compared to more popular choices such as Heavy or Gravity, but at the same time gives more Burst defense than the aforementioned Discs.

Overall
While Spread's shape may give Life-After-Death, Down offers greater stability mid battle. While Heavy or Gravity offer greater Knock-Out resistance, Down offers greater Burst resistance and comparable aggressive movements in attack combinations.

Due to Down's Jack-of-All-Trades nature, it is a welcome addition to any blader's collection.
