<onlyinclude>'''Kerbeus K2''', like its predecessor [[Energy Layer - Kerbeus|Kerbeus]], is a round and thin Energy Layer designed for Defense. As such, its design consists of a six-bladed top-layer made of clear plastic; that each have a large gap in between, and a round bottom-layer made of colored plastic that's molded into the shape of chains; with each "link" of the chain-like layer slightly protruding outwards. In the center of the Layer are three dogs heads with flames near each head, representing the Layer's original namesake; Kerberos, the three-headed guard dog of the Underworld featured in Greek mythology.
 
   
At first glance, the design of '''Kerbeus K2''', while round, appears to imply high recoil. However in reality, due to how thin the Layer is, both the clear and colored plastic layers come into contact with the opponent's Layer at the same time and cover each other's gaps in the process, and as such, is capable of reducing recoil and potential subsequent Stamina loss. For the Takara Tomy release of '''Kaiser Kerbeus''', its strong teeth made it excel in Defense Combinations when in certain conditions. However, while this may imply high Defense potential, there are two major weaknesses:
 
 
First, when the '''Kerbeus K2''' Combination is knocked off balance, only the six-bladed top-layer will come into contact with the opponent. As such, due to the aforementioned large gaps in between each blade, this increases the risk of the '''Kerbeus K2''' Combination Bursting. As such, it is critical to pair up '''Kerbeus K2''' will a Performance Tip with great stability.
 
 
Finally, the weight distribution of the Layer ends up creating poor Stamina, making '''Kerbeus K2''' Combinations liable to being Out Spun.</onlyinclude>

Hasbro's '''Kerbeus K2''' is virtually unchanged from Takara Tomy's [[Energy Layer - Kaiser Kerbeus|Kaiser Kerbeus]] with the same low recoil and poor Stamina. However, '''Kerbeus K2'''<nowiki/>'s Burst Resistance is much higher than its Takara Tomy counterpart's which made it one of the strongest Layers for Defense Combinations in the Hasbro metagame. However, with the release of the SwitchStrike/God Layer System, '''Kerbeus K2''' is now too light to remain competitive.
'''Kaiser Kerbeus''', at the time, was a great and commonly available Layer for Defense Combinations. However, with the release of the Cho-Z Layer System, especially with the release of Cho-Z Layers such as [[Energy Layer - Salamander S4|Hell Salamander]] and [[Energy Layer - Phoenix P4|Revive Phoenix]], '''Kaiser Kerbeus''' is not only outclassed, but is also far too light to be competitive in the current metagame.

== Differences in the Hasbro Version==
 
Aside from the use of softer plastic and the center being filled in the facilitate the Layer's QR Code for the Beyblade Burst App, Hasbro's '''Kerbeus K2''' is virtually unchanged from Takara Tomy's '''Kaiser Kerbeus'''; with the same low-recoil design and poor Stamina.
 
 
However, what sets it apart from '''Kaiser Kerbeus''' is that '''Kerbeus K2''' features slopes that are much stronger than '''Kaiser Kerbeus'''<nowiki/>' teeth, making '''Kerbeus K2''' a safer and thus better option for Defense Combinations, as the Burst risk posed by the six blades' large gaps is much less of threat to the Layer's performance, in terms of Burst Defense. Because of this, it was one of the best Layers for Defense Combinations in the Hasbro-Only Format at the time.
 
 
However, due to the release of SwitchStrike Layers such as [[Energy Layer - Spryzen Requiem S3|Spryzen Requiem S3]], [[Energy Layer - Balkesh B3|Balkesh B3]], and the recent [[Energy Layer - Kerbeus K4|Kerbeus K4]], '''Kerbeus K2''' is not only outclassed for Defense and Stamina, but has also become too light to remain competitive.

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

Kerbeus K2 is an Energy Layer released by Hasbro as part of the Burst System as well as the Dual Layer System. It debuted in western countries with the release of the Starter Pack Kerbeus K2 Limited Press.

Description

In-depth information for Hasbro’s Kerbeus K2 Energy Layer will be placed here once drafting has been completed for it. Please be patient.

Overall

Hasbro's Kerbeus K2 is virtually unchanged from Takara Tomy's Kaiser Kerbeus with the same low recoil and poor Stamina. However, Kerbeus K2's Burst Resistance is much higher than its Takara Tomy counterpart's which made it one of the strongest Layers for Defense Combinations in the Hasbro metagame. However, with the release of the SwitchStrike/God Layer System, Kerbeus K2 is now too light to remain competitive.

As such, Hasbro's Kerbeus K2 is recommended for collection purposes only.
