Destruction Ifritor I7 Nexus-Q Assault-Q+Kick-6 is an Attack and Stamina Type Beyblade that is a part of the Burst System as well as the QuadDrive System. It was released in western countries as a part of the Destruction Ifritor I7 and Stone Nemesis N7 Dual Pack for USD$15.99 in the United States.
Drive Chip - Ifritor I7
- Main article: Drive Chip - Ifritor I7
Hasbro's Ifritor I7 is a right-spin Drive Chip that features the side profile of the ifrit, a supernatural creature of fire from Islamic Scripture. Ifritor I7 has an average weight for Drive Chips and low Burst Resistance. Thus Ifritor I7 is outclassed by other tighter right-spin Drive Chips.
Blade - Destruction
- Main article: Blade - Destruction
Hasbro's Destruction is a right-spin Attack Type QD Blade with three blades acting as the main contact points. Its general shape is similar to that of its Takara Tomy counterpart, Dynamite. Compared to Dynamite, the bottom of Destruction is flattened, and lacks the slots required to attach the F Gear. Like other QD Blades, Destruction can switch between Apex and Core Modes by swapping the position of the Gravity Ring from the top of the Blade (Apex) to below it (Core).
While intended for Attack Combinations, it has poor performance against opposite spin opponents and mediocre performance against same spin opponents. Unlike Dynamite, Destruction cannot use a metal Armor or L Gear, severely reducing weight. Furthermore, the light weight of QD Blades means QuadDrive System Layers such as Destruction are even more prone to Bursts. Consequently, Destruction is too light to be used competitively, and is outclassed by other Layers.
Gravity Ring - 6
- Main article: Gravity Ring - 6
Hasbro's 6 is a Gravity Ring based on Takara Tomy's 6 Armor. As such it retains the same general shape as 6, with six square protrusions and small nubs between each. Unlike its Takara Tomy counterpart however, it is made of plastic instead of metal, and as such its weight has been reduced from about 13.4 grams to 1.5 grams. In theory, 6 has an even weight distribution at six points to increase Stamina. In practice however, since all Gravity Rings are plastic instead of metal like Takara Tomy's Armors, they are all around the same weight and offer no differences in performance, with the main difference between them being only aesthetic. As any differences in the weight distribution of a Combination are negligible, it is difficult to suggest using a particular Gravity Ring over another. Furthermore, most QuadDrive System Layers are lightweight and thus outclassed by heavier Layers.
Forge Disc - Nexus-Q
- Main article: Forge Disc - Nexus-Q
Hasbro's Nexus-Q is an eight bladed Disc based on Takara Tomy's Nexus. It retains the same general shape as its Takara Tomy counterpart, but is smaller in size and about 6 grams lighter. Due to its shape, Nexus-Q works best in Attack Combinations.
Like Nexus, Nexus-Q is compatible with the S Gear and D Gear. When the S Gear is set in its face-up position, the four tabs of the S Gear lock into four grooves on Nexus-Q, becoming fixed in place. When set in its face-down position, there are no tabs and thus the S Gear can free-spin on Nexus-Q. The D Gear slides a short distance when struck, repelling the opposing Beyblade.
Performance Tip - Assault-Q
- Main article: Performance Tip - Assault-Q
Assault-Q is an Attack Type Performance Tip and Hasbro's QuadDrive counterpart to Assault. Like its normal counterpart, Assault-Q features a wide flat tip and retains the same general shape. The wider surface area of the flat tip creates speeds greater than Performance Tips such as Accel, but comes at the cost of control and Stamina. Due to its speed, it is more difficult to perform a flower pattern by Banking or performing a Sliding Shoot with Assault-Q. Consequently, Assault-Q is most useful against Mobile Combinations that wander close to the Tornado Ridge.
Assault-Q features a slightly modified shape to accommodate two attachment points for an Armor Tip. Like all QuadDrive Performance Tips, an Armor Tip can be attached to Assault-Q, switching it to "Plus Mode". In this mode, Assault-Q is essentially replaced by the Armor Tip, and the height becomes similar to a SpeedStorm Performance Tip. As Assault-Q features a strong spring and thus high Burst Resistance, it is recommended to use Assault-Q as the base QuadDrive Performance Tip for an Armor Tip.
Armor Tip - Kick
- Main article: Armor Tip - Kick
Hasbro's Kick is an Armor Tip version of the Kick Performance Tip. Like all Armor Tips, it can be attached to QuadDrive Performance Tips via two attachment points. When attached to a QuadDrive Performance Tip, it is referred to as the "Plus Mode", essentially replacing the QuadDrive Performance Tip as the main contact point with the stadium floor. The subsequent height becomes similar to that of a SpeedStorm Performance Tip. A QuadDrive Performance Tip with high Burst Resistance, such as Assault-Q, is recommended.
Like other Armor Tips, it bears a resemblance to its Performance Tip counterpart, albeit with its shape modified and gimmick removed. Kick retains the sharp tip and an outer ring around its perimeter, but lacks the stabilization gimmick, due to the removal of the springs. The outer ring is thicker and has a smaller diameter, while the cylindrical shape has been replaced with a conical shape. The sharp tip creates low friction with the stadium floor, resulting in high Stamina comparable to other competitive Hasbro Stamina Performance Tips such as Absorb-S and Eternal-S. However, this low friction between the tip and the stadium floor makes Kick Combinations susceptible to Knock-Outs and thus have poor Knock-Out Resistance.
