Insert Hasbro Name, known as Hazard Kerbeus (ハザードケルベウス, Hazādo Kerubeusu) in Japan, is a Super Z Energy Layer released as part of the Burst System as well as the Super Z Layer System. It debuted with the release of the BG-09 Random Layer Collection Vol. 9 in June 2018 and was later released in the B-121 Super Z Triple Booster Set on August 11th, 2018.

Description

Hazard Kerbeus is a Defense Type Energy Layer with two large blades and features three dog heads down the center, meant to represent the Layer's namesake, the mythological three headed hound Cerberus. As part of the Super Z Layer System, Hazard Kerbeus features metal in its design; in this case, the two blades are lined with metal in the shape of chains. The inclusion of metal makes the Layer heavier than most SwitchStrike/God Layers. Hazard Kerbeus also features a gimmick; the two blades are capable of bending inwards to create "Bound Defense", akin to Jerk, Screw Trident and the Layer's predecessor Guardian Kerbeus. Unlike its predecessor however, Hazard Kerbeus uses torsion springs with much greater flexibility.

Hazard Kerbeus features teeth of medium length, akin to Kaiser Kerbeus. While this along with the greater flexibility of the gimmick may imply high Burst resistance, in practice, the sharp protrusions from the muzzles of the dog heads creates points of heavy recoil. Furthermore, the short distance traveled by the blades makes the gimmick relatively ineffective. These factors create a Burst risk that the teeth of the Layer are unable to compensate for.

Like many other Super Z Layers, Hazard Kerbeus is unbalanced which increases Burst risk and drains Stamina. However, these issues can be solved with the use of a Level Chip that fits underneath the Layer.

Overall

While Hazard Kerbeus features a much more effective Bound Defense gimmick than its predecessor, the recoil inducing shape of the dog heads makes the Layer outclassed by Archer Hercules and Revive Phoenix.

As such, Hazard Kerbeus is recommended for collection purposes only.
