This article is about Gravity. For its Rip Fire counterpart, see Forge Disc - Gravity-L.

Gravity (グラビティ, Gurabiti) is a Forge Disc released by Takara Tomy as part of the Burst System as well as the Dual Layer System. It debuted in Japan with the release of the B-36 Booster, Rising Ragnaruk Gravity Revolve, on April 2nd, 2016. It later debuted in western countries with the release of Hasbro's Starter Pack, Roktavor R2 Gravity Revolve.

Description

A Disc that can generate tremendous centrifugal force from its thick and heavy design.
— Official Description

Gravity has a thick, octagonal shape and bears designs that resemble steel plates on each of its eight segments. As with all Forge Discs, it has two tabs that protrude from the top and fit in the slots in the Energy Layer. These tabs are marked with a stylized G to identify the Forge Disc.

Gravity was tied with Heavy for the heaviest Forge Disc in the game, making it a solid choice for adding weight to the Beyblade and increasing its Knock-Out Defense. Compared to the rather compact Heavy, Gravity has a larger diameter and more of its weight packed around its perimeter, giving it arguably what was the best Stamina in the game and increasing the mobility of more aggressive Combinations with the Flywheel Effect. However, it has been outclassed by 7 for Stamina. The high spin momentum provided by Gravity's Outward Weight Distribution (OWD) means that the overall Beyblade will not lose much spin upon collision with an opponent, however that means that the force of the impact will instead be absorbed by the Energy Layer, causing it to skip teeth to cope with the shock.

Use in Balance Combinations

Gravity can be used in the Defense/Stamina Hybrid, Dark Deathscyther Gravity Defense. Gravity increases the Stamina and Knock-Out Defense of the Combination compared to other Forge Discs like Spread or Heavy, while Dark Deathscyther has enough Burst Defense capabilities to overcompensate for Gravity’s increased risk of Bursting.

Use in Stamina Combinations

As Gravity possesses some of, what was, the highest raw Stamina in the game, it can be used on the Pure Stamina Combination Deathscyther Gravity Revolve. While this Combination was capable of Out-Spinning nearly any opponent, the use of Gravity in conjunction with Deathscyther means that it also has very poor Burst Defense, making it a risky yet effective choice. It also does not have the best Stamina anymore, due to being outclassed by Discs such as 7 and 0.

Overall

Being the one of the heaviest Forge Discs available, in addition to having a unique design focusing on Outward Weight Distribution (OWD), Gravity was once a valuable asset to a blader's collection. However with the release of Core Discs and Disc Frames, Gravity has become outclassed.

As such, Gravity is not a must have but is instead a welcome addition to a blader's collection.
