God Valkyrie 2 Flugel (ゴッドヴァルキリー・ツー・フリューゲル, Goddo Varukirī Tsū Furyūgeru) is a Stamina Type Beyblade released by Takara Tomy as part of the Burst System as well as the God Layer System. It was released in Japan on July 15th, 2017 for 972円 as one of eight possible Beyblades in Random Booster Vol. 7 Maximum Garuda.8F.Fl.
Energy Layer - God Valkyrie[]
- Main article: Energy Layer - God Valkyrie
Takara Tomy's God Valkyrie is an Attack Type Layer made up of a translucent layer with three upward slanting wings which act as the primary contact points, and an opaque layer with three smaller sub-wings behind the main wings. The center features a feathered, armored face facing forward, unlike previous Valkyrie Layers, where the face was seen from a side profile. The face represents the Layer's namesake, the valkyrie from Norse mythology.
As part of the God Layer System, God Valkyrie features the following gimmicks: the first is that the main wings are spring-loaded to create "Bound Attack", and the second is that God Valkyrie can be improved with the Strike God Chip. In theory, the spring-loaded Layer would increase Burst Attack by moving upon impact and forcibly springing back. In practice however, the gimmick fails to work as the spring does not produce enough force to meaningfully impact Burst Attack. Furthermore, when spin velocity becomes too low, the spring-loaded gimmick will fail to compress the spring entirely, instead hindering spin. When the Strike God Chip is attached to God Valkyrie, the spring-loaded wings are locked and the gimmick cannot be used, improving performance. As God Valkyrie is classified as a different Layer with the Strike God Chip attached, these performance differences are detailed on the page Strike God Valkyrie.
As-is, God Valkyrie has comparable performance to its predecessor Victory Valkyrie, as the shape of God Valkyrie's wings is good for Knock-Out (KO) Attack early in battle and it can Burst a weakened opponent towards the end of a battle. Furthermore, God Valkyrie features three teeth of high length, akin to its predecessor Victory Valkyrie, allowing this Layer to withstand its own recoil. God Valkyrie is also heavier than its predecessor, which further aids Burst Resistance.
Rulings[]
In tournaments held by the World Beyblade Organization (WBO), Takara Tomy's "God Valkyrie" and "Strike God Valkyrie" Layers, as well as Hasbro's "Genesis Valtryek V3" and "Strike Valtryek V3" Layers, are all treated as the same part. Therefore, only 1 of the 4 Layers can be used in a 3on3 Battle or Deck Battle deck.
Forge Disc - 2[]
- Main article: Forge Disc - 2
2, like other even numbered Core Discs, is symmetrical and elliptical in shape in order to facilitate a Disc Frame. Each side features one protrusion with "2" shaped molding on either side of the protrusion. 2 has a standard weight distribution and an average weight among Core Discs, these features allow it to act as a "Jack-of-All-Trades", capable of performing well in any type of Combination. While other Core Discs such as 4 and 7 can work better for Attack, Defense and Stamina, 2 works as an excellent alternative if those Core Discs are unavailable.
Performance Tip - Flugel[]
- Main article: Performance Tip - Flugel
Flugel features a low angled cone tip that sits at the standard height akin to Survive, but differs by featuring four wings, akin to Metal Fight Beyblade's Down Force 145, that offer Upper Force in Right-Spin and Down Force in Left-Spin.
The cone shape gives Flugel low surface area and friction to conserve Stamina in battle while also providing Stability, giving a Combination resistance against the Layer scraping against the Stadium floor and losing Stamina.
In theory, when used in Right-Spin Combinations, the Upper Force would increase Stamina by generating an air current that "lifts" the Beyblade off of the stadium, effectively reducing the friction between Flugel and the stadium. When used in Left-Spin Combinations, the Down Force generated would push the Beyblade down into the stadium and increase Stability at the cost of Stamina. However in practice, the small size of the wings means that any Upper Force or Down Force generated is minimal with no discernible difference in performance.
