Force (フォース, Fōsu) is a Forge Disc released by Takara Tomy as part of the Burst System. It debuted in Japan with the release of the B-23 Starter, Xcalibur Force Xtreme, on December 26th, 2015. It later debuted in western countries with the release of Hasbro's Roktavor R2 & Xcalius Dual Pack.
Description
Force is a symmetrical Forge Disc that has a diamond or plus-like shape. Its design consists of four main armor-like protrusions; two of which are behind the Forge Disc's prongs, and the other two are on the opposites sides and are fully exposed. Such shape has two uses: The first is to increase the weight of a Beyblade's attacks via aligning with the Layer's protrusions, such as the golem heads of Gigant Gaia or the small square-like protrusions of Storm Spriggan. The second use is to balance out imbalanced Layers such as Xcalibur by aligning with the Layer's contact points as it grows halfway to Bursting. This effect also allows Combinations to have increased Stamina and Burst Resistance.
While this may imply that Force is top-tier for Attack Combinations, it weighs less than Heavy and Gravity, despite its rather heavy appearance. This also limits its use in Stamina Combinations, as its aggressive design reduces Stamina and can throw the Combination off balance, increasing the risk of Bursts. Due to these drawbacks, Force is rendered outclassed and ill-suited for all types of Combinations.
Overall
While the aggressive design of Force makes it useful in Attack Combinations, Heavy and Gravity perform better and also improve on its weaknesses. Furthermore, with the release of heavier Forge Disc such as 0 and 7, Force has become too light to be competitive.
As such, unless one prefers to use Force, it is recommended for collection purposes only.
