Superking Chip - Helios

Takara Tomy's Helios 2[1] (or simply Helios) is a left-spin Superking Chip that features a side profile of the Superking Chip's namesake, Helios, the god of the sun in Greek mythology. It is the second of two Helios Superking Chips. Helios 2 is one of five Superking Chips to feature metal. Helios 2 is the only left-spin Superking Chip to feature metal, and comes with a Metal Chip Core in both its releases. Due to the heavy weight, Helios 2 finds use in Attack combinations, such as combinations using the Rage Ring.

Takara Tomy's Ou (from the Japanese word meaning "King") is one of three Limit Break Discs, specifically meant for the Limit Break Layers; Layers that utilize the Burn, Volcano, or The End Rings. Of the three Limit Break Discs, Ou is midweight, but has the roundest perimeter.
Performance Tip - Zone'+Z
- Main article: Performance Tip - Zone'+Z
Zone'+Z is a variant of the Zone' Driver with the Zone Chip attached. Zone'+Z retains the functionality of the regular Zone', with a low-angle cone sharp tip, surrounded by a free-spinning plate. The free-spinning plate is intended to reduce friction between the Driver and the Stadium floor, as well as keep a Zone'+Z combination upright after being knocked off balance and act as brakes to prevent Knock-Outs (KOs). The Zone Chip increases the size of the free-spinning plate, increasing the effectiveness of the gimmick. With the larger surface area, the Zone Chip increases the stabilization effect of the free-spinning plate by creating a second point of contact with the Stadium floor. The free-spinning nature of the plate minimizes Stamina loss at this second point of contact, increasing Stamina and Life-After-Death (LAD). Zone'+Z generally performs best in Opposite-Spin matches, and can Spin-Equalize to an effectiveness comparable to Drivers like Bearing' and Bearing Mobius.
Zone'+Z can refer to Zone' being used with either Takara Tomy's metal Zone Chip or Hasbro's plastic Zone Chip. Besides a 2 gram difference in weight, Hasbro's Zone Chip is less likely to self-KO as it is less aggressive than its Takara Tomy counterpart due to the reduced friction between the Zone Chip and the Stadium floor. Hasbro's Zone Chip also has slightly better performance in Same-Spin matches. Takara Tomy's Zone Chip has better KO Resistance due to the heavy weight of metal, and can be used to great effect against Attack combinations when light launched.
Like other Dash Drivers, Zone'+Z features a stronger spring lock, increasing Burst Resistance.

Trivia
- Like the namesake of its predecessor King Helios Zone 1B, Helios Volcano's name is a combination of the word Helios, the Greek god of the sun, and son of the titan of light Hyperion, and "volcano", a mountain or hill with a crater or vent atop through which lava, rock fragments, hot vapor, and gas are erupted from the earth's crust.
- Helios Volcano's avatar is an upgrade of King Helios' with alterations:

- the yellow neon lights running throughout his body have thickened and increased,
- the neon lights on the orange neck base now sport a flaming pattern,
- the red sun crest on the chest has been replaced with an eight-pronged silver crest with a teal gem and a red flame crest underneath,
- the pauldrons, vambraces and wing prongs now sport a flaming-style edge,
- the blue sides on the torso have switched to being abdominal armor,
- each of the ten wing prongs now have a red streak, and the energy wings each prong produces is now red-magenta shade,
- the red flames on Helios' shield now sports a different position, the sun crest's edges is now wider, the blades on the rim are reverse and wider, and the shield sports a curve at the top,
- and the energy blade produced by the sword is now wider, the prongs at the tip are repositioned downward diagonally with an additional set of prongs positioned diagonally upward above the hilt, and the hilt has an all azure color scheme.
