The Forge Disc™ is a component of Beyblade Burst™ tops. Within the Beyblade Burst™ Performance Top System™, the Forge Disc™ is (structurally) the second layer of the top's anatomy and affects movement patterns, balance, and weight. Forge Disc influences a Bey's behavioral tendencies in various manners, such as whether it tends to spin in one place or roams around the Beyblade Burst Beystadium™.

Common Forge Disc
Disc-Intergrated Parts
In Japan, Takara-Tomy marketed these parts as Disk-integrated Types (Japanese: ディスク一体型) and, as the name suggests, are parts which combine Disc elements with another component. Examples of these parts include the Nightmare Longinus (nL) Layer from B-97 Starter: Nightmare Longinus.Ds, the Mugen Performance Tip from the Mugen Beystadium DX Set, the Mugen-L Performance Tip from the Cho-Z Musou Beystadium, the Hybrid Performance Tip from the B-153 Set: Gatinko Customize Set, and the Ignition' Performance Tip. The double chassis from Beyblade Burst Superking also have built in discs. Internationally, Hasbro marketed these parts of "Fused parts" with the only example of this (currently) being the Luinor L3 (LD01) Fused Energy Layer and Forge Disc.
Two-Part Forge Disc
These type of discs debuted in Beyblade Burst Evolution. It has a core disc, which is represented by a number, and a frame, which is an extra plastic piece that fits onto the disc. Various discs and frames have varying abilities, like Cross having high life after death and 0 being extremely heavy(to balance out the heavy god/cho z layers).
Structure
Forge Discs™ are typically a single-piece component, usually composed entirely of die-cast metal. This components comes in a variety of shapes and weight; a rapid departure from the classic Weight Disks of Beyblades from the first generation.
Design-wise, Forge Discs™ are assembled similarly in the manner that first generation Weight Disks (specifically the Hard Metal System series) and second generation Fusion Wheels, being primarily the middle layer of the top's structure.
