Shadow Amaterios ((シャドウ)アマテリオス, Shadō Amateriosu), stylized as Shadow αmaterios, is an Energy Layer released by Takara Tomy as part of the Burst System as well as the Cho-Z Layer System. It debuted with the release of the B-00 CoroCoro Exclusive Booster Shadow Amaterios 0 Xtreme' in August 2018.

Description

Takara Tomy's Shadow Amaterios (or Yamiterios) is an Attack Type Layer that features 2 sets of 5 alternating blades. Like its successor Shining Amaterios, the center of the Layer features the Layer's namesake: Amaterasu, the goddess of the sun in Japanese mythology. As part of the Cho-Z Layer System, Shadow Amaterios features metal in its design: 5 of its blades are lined with metal and have plastic components that can extend outwards to expand the Layer's attack range. The other set of 5 blades are static, featuring 2 plastic protrusions each. Compared to Shining Amaterios, Shadow Amaterios has more rugged extendable plastic blades and is half a gram heavier. In theory, this creates a versatile Attack Type Layer, that has both continuous strikes and powerful strikes from the 5 metal-lined blades.

In reality, the shape of Shadow Amaterios is poorly suited for Attack combinations, with the gaps between blades being too small. In addition, the extension gimmick rarely activates. Consequently, Shadow Amaterios is best suited for Stamina combinations, as its shape works well in Same-Spin and Opposite-Spin Stamina matchups.

Like many other Cho-Z Layers, Shadow Amaterios can increase weight and reduce Burst risk with the use of a Level Chip that fits underneath the Layer.
