'''Kerbeus''' is a circular shaped Energy Layer designed for defense. '''Kerbeus'''<nowiki/>'s center, as the name states, depicts a 3-headed dog-like monster named Cerberus spitting flames. Two of the heads represented by the colored plastic underneath the transparent casing are located on one side, while the third is located on the opposite side. Theoretically, this would leave the Energy Layer unbalanced, but in reality the effect is so minuscule that it shouldn't be considered a fault in competitive play. '''Kerbeus'''<nowiki/>'s rim has 16 protrusions, with half of the protrusions being larger. In theory, this characteristic would grind the opponents layer, but in reality it has the reverse effect and that makes it prone to loss by [[Survivor Finish]] and the uneven surface adds recoil. '''Kerbeus''' does, however, have decent stamina and defense abilities granted by its circular shape.

Hasbro's '''Kerbeus''' is visually unchanged from Takara Tomy's [[Energy Layer - Kerbeus (Takara Tomy)|Kerbeus]], however the Layer now has a different weight distribution granting high spin times. This made Hasbro's '''Kerbeus''' a top-tier Layer for Pure Stamina Combinations as its Burst Resistance still lagged behind other releases. However, with the release of the SwitchStrike/God Layer System, specifically [[Energy Layer - Fafnir F3|Fafnir F3]], Hasbro's '''Kerbeus''' is too light to remain competitive.

'''As such, Hasbro's Kerbeus is not a must have but is instead a welcome addition to any blader's collection.'''
   
It was particularly hard to burst and had a mostly balanced design but, due to the release of newer Energy Layers, '''Kerbeus''' has been overshadowed. These are reasons which add to this Energy Layer's position as now outclassed in all categories.

==Summary==
 
'''Kerbeus''' is a layer that is great in theory, but does not execute as well in reality. '''Kerbeus''' was no doubt the first go-to Energy Layer for Defense and Stamina customizations, being the 4th Energy Layer released in the Burst generation. Since this first wave of releases though, better options have appeared, such as '''Odax'''.
 
 
'''Kerbeus has proven to be quite mediocre and therefore should only be bought if you do not have access to better Energy Layers.'''

*Unlike most [[Energy Layer]]s, Kerbeus did not receive a rename when the ''[[Beyblade Burst]]'' series was released by [[Hasbro]].

This article is about the Hasbro version. For the Takara Tomy version, see Energy Layer - Kerbeus (Takara Tomy).

Kerbeus is an Energy Layer released by Hasbro as part of the Burst System. It debuted in western countries with the release of the Horusood & Kerbeus Dual Pack.

Description

In-depth information for Hasbro's Kerbeus Energy Layer will be placed here once drafting has been completed for it. Please be patient.

Overall

Hasbro's Kerbeus is visually unchanged from Takara Tomy's Kerbeus, however the Layer now has a different weight distribution granting high spin times. This made Hasbro's Kerbeus a top-tier Layer for Pure Stamina Combinations as its Burst Resistance still lagged behind other releases. However, with the release of the SwitchStrike/God Layer System, specifically Fafnir F3, Hasbro's Kerbeus is too light to remain competitive.

As such, Hasbro's Kerbeus is not a must have but is instead a welcome addition to any blader's collection.
