Insert Hasbro Name, known as Grand Valkyrie Zenith Hold' Ten (グランドヴァルキリー・ゼニス・ホールドダッシュ・天, Gurando Varukirī Zenisu Hōrudo Dasshu Ten) in Japan, is an Attack Type Beyblade released as part of the Burst System as well as the Gatinko Layer System. It was released as a wbba. Store Exclusive Booster in Japan on April 27th, 2019 for 1296円.

Gatinko Chip - Valkyrie

Main article: Gatinko Chip - Valkyrie

Valkyrie is a right-spin Gatinko Chip that features an armored face with a stylized V adorning the helmet, intended to represent the Gatinko Chip's namesake, Odin's handmaidens in Norse mythology, Valkyrie. Valkyrie has a standard weight for Gatinko Chips and high Burst Resistance. Valkyrie features two hard Locks, giving it high Burst Resistance, even when a Dash Driver is not used. When paired with the Goku Layer Weight, Valkyrie is an excellent Gatinko Chip to use in right-spin Combinations.

Hasbro's Valtryek is virtually unchanged from Takara Tomy's Valkyrie, but manufactured with weaker materials.

Layer Weight - Ten

Main article: Layer Weight - Ten

Ten has four hexagons, two on each side, with a sizable gap between the two on each side. Ten has little use, given that even less commonly used Layer Weights such as Sen, Zan, and Retsu outclass Ten due to its shape and Weight Distribution. Ten does not offer any particular advantage over other, more commonly used Layer Weights.

Layer Base - Grand

Main article: Layer Base - Grand
A Stamina Type Base that produces a strong centrifugal force by removing the inner lightning and two large blades that are almost circular.
— Official Description

Grand is a Stamina Type Layer Base that features two dragon heads that form the main points of contact with large wings, akin to a reversed Driger Slash. Like other Stamina Bases, Grand exposes less of a Gatinko Chip's teeth, slightly reducing the Chip's Burst resistance.

Despite the round shape, the size of the gaps between the wings and dragon heads creates sizable recoil, making Grand ill-suited for Stamina purposes. Furthermore, the wings themselves are hollow, reducing Outward-Weight-Distribution and subsequent Stamina potential. Finally, due to the nature of the Gatinko Layer System, much of the Grand Base's weight will not be concentrated at the edges of the Layer, but closer to the center due to the shape of Layer Weights, further reducing Stamina potential.

Forge Disc - Zenith

Main article: Forge Disc - Zenith

Zenith, like Magnum, Jerk and Polish, is a Forge Disc made up of a metal core and plastic perimeter making up the gimmick of the Disc. Unlike the aforementioned Discs however, Zenith uses a different metal core with three blades in the shape of "Z"s.

For Zenith's gimmick, the plastic houses rubber sections, meant to increase recoil and increase Attack potential during Disc-to-Layer contact. However, due to most Burst Performance Tips being of similar heights, such contact is rare. Furthermore, if such contact does occur, the rubber is liable to act as brakes, slowing the Zenith Combination down. Additionally, because the rubber extends to the underside of the Disc, which when combined with Zenith's rough perimeter, any Life-After-Death potential is nullified.

Despite the non-functioning gimmick, Zenith's metal core is significantly heavier than that of Magnum, Jerk and Polish, with weight comparable to commonly used Core Discs with Frames. Furthermore, the triangular design of the metal synergizes with the Valkyrie series of Layers, significantly increasing their Attack potential without negatively affecting balance.
