Archer Hercules H4 13 Eternal-S is a Stamina Type Beyblade released by Hasbro as part of the Burst System as well as the SlingShock System. It was released in western countries as a SlingShock Starter Pack for CAD$14.99 in Canada, USD$9.99 in the United States, and AUD$18.99 in Australia.
Energy Layer - Archer Hercules H4[]
- Main article: Energy Layer - Archer Hercules H4
Hasbro's Archer Hercules H4 is a right-spin Stamina Type Layer based on Takara Tomy's Archer Hercules Layer. It is nearly identical to its Takara Tomy version, with the same symmetrical shape featuring two bows on either side of the Layer and a face surrounded by that of a lion's, representing the Layer's namesake; Heracles, a divine hero of Greek mythology. Like other SlingShock Layers, Archer Hercules H4 lacks the metal of its Takara Tomy Cho-Z Layer counterpart. The two bows, which were originally lined with metal, are now plastic. Like Archer Hercules, Archer Hercules H4 features a gimmick; the bows extend outwards due to the centrifugal force of the Beyblade's spin.
In theory, this creates an elliptical shape, increasing the Outward Weight Distribution (OWD) of the Layer and subsequent Stamina potential. When spin speed drops later in battle, the bows retract to create a rounder shape to reduce recoil and improve Defense potential. However, the movement of the bows is minor and does not create a noticeable increase in Outward Weight Distribution (OWD).
Forge Disc - 13[]
- Main article: Forge Disc - 13
13, like most other odd numbered Core Discs, is asymmetrical and elliptical in shape in order to facilitate a Disc Frame. Each side features four protrusions with molding to create the shape of a "13" with one side featuring a greater number of molding lines, though too shallow to create any noticeable imbalance. While the aggressive design of the Disc may imply high Burst potential from Disc-to-Layer contact, due to the fact that most Burst Performance Tips are of the same or very similar heights, such contact is rare. Compared to other Core Discs, 13 is one of the lightest, even lighter than 6. This light weight severely hinders 13's Attack, Defense and Stamina potential and while the light weight would create high Burst Resistance, the heavy weight of the SwitchStrike/God Layer System and the Cho-Z Layer System makes the use of lightweight Discs for Burst Resistance obsolete.
