- This article is about the Takara Tomy version. For the Hasbro version, see Drive Chip - Fafnir F7.
Fafnir (ファブニル, Fabunīru) is a DB Core released by Takara Tomy as part of the Burst System as well as the Dynamite Battle Layer System. It debuted in Japan with the release of the B-185 Booster Vanish Fafnir Tapered Kick-3 on May 29th, 2021.
Description
Takara Tomy's Fafnir is a left-spin DB Core that features a dragon and two claws grasping orbs, akin to its predecessors. The design represents the DB Core's namesake, Fafnir, a dwarf turned into a dragon in Norse and Germanic mythology. Fafnir does not offer any particular advantages over other left-spin DB Cores such as Bahamut, which has high Burst Resistance, or Longinus, which has a heavy weight. Thus it is recommended to use the aforementioned DB Cores over Fafnir.
Overall
Although Fafnir offers acceptable performance, it is outclassed by other left-spin DB Cores that offer more utility.
As such, Fafnir is not recommended for the WBO's Burst format.
Fafnir is not legal in the WBO's Burst GT format.
Fafnir is not legal in the WBO's Burst Limited format.
Fafnir is not legal in the WBO's Burst Classic format.
