Ring (リング, Ringu) is a Forge Disc released as part of the Burst System. It debuted with the release of the B-22 Beyblade Custom Set Defense & Stamina on November 14th, 2015.
Description
As its name suggests, Ring is a Forge Disc with a smooth, solid ring that forms its perimeter. The ring is interrupted by 4 small designs that cause it to somewhat resemble a pipe. The ring is connected to the interior of the disk by two thin triangular structures, as well as the prongs that fit inside the Energy Layer. Ring's smooth perimeter provides the Beyblade with a small amount of Life After Death (LAD), allowing it to roll on the edge of the disc for a few extra rotations after falling over, making it useful for Stamina combos. Additionally, nearly all of Ring's weight is located on its perimeter, so it offers impressive Outward Weight Distribution (OWD) and increases the Beyblade's Stamina significantly thanks to the Flywheel Effect. However, this weight distribution also has its downsides.
As a Forge Disc with high OWD such as Ring, it's more difficult to slow down while spinning, when colliding with an opponent, a Beyblade using Ring will not lose very much Stamina from the force of the impact. This force must go somewhere, though, and is usually absorbed by the Energy Layer instead, making it more likely to skip its teeth and burst. Because of this, Ring is generally not recommended over Forge Discs with similar Stamina but less of a tendency to burst, such as Spread and Knuckle.
Use in Stamina Customizations
Because Ring's Burst Defense is rather poor, it performs best on a Tornado Staller such as Deathscyther Ring Zephyr. This combo is able to outspin several stationary combos without coming into contact with them and risk being burst.
Overall
With its high OWD, Ring maintains its stamina well when taking hits, but is largely susceptible to Bursting as a result. In addition, better alternatives exist, such as Spread and Knuckle.
Thus, Ring is recommended for use if the alternatives are not available.
