Energy Layer - Inferno-X Guardian Kerbeus K4
- Main article: Energy Layer - Inferno-X Guardian Kerbeus K4
Hasbro's Guardian Kerbeus K4 is a Defense Type Energy Layer that features three dog heads along the perimeter, two from a downward profile and one from a side profile, meant to represent the Layer's namesake, the mythological three-headed hound Cerberus. Despite being based on a God Layer System Energy Layer, Guardian Kerbeus K4 is instead part of the SlingShock System rather than the SwitchStrike System, and thus lacks the flexible, soft plastic chains that facilitated the "Bound Defense" gimmick of its Takara Tomy counterpart, Guardian Kerbeus. However, as the effects of this gimmick were negligible, the lack of this gimmick does not create a noticeable change in performance. Furthermore, unlike its Takara Tomy counterpart, Guardian Kerbeus K4 has strong Burst Resistance thanks to its tight slopes, negating the high Burst risk caused by Guardian Kerbeus's weak teeth.
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 - Tower-S
- Main article: Performance Tip - Tower-S
Tower-S, as its name implies, is a SlingShock Performance Tip based off of Tower. However, unlike the original Tower, Tower-S' automatic "Height Change" gimmick is disabled, and is instead tied with the Performance Tip's "SlingShock Mode", along with the tip itself being flat and made of a wider diameter than Tower's semi-flat tip. As a part of the SlingShock System, Tower-S can be manually altered to switch between "Battle Ring Mode" and "SlingShock Mode"; in this case, by twisting the tip clockwise, pulling it downwards, and twisting it clockwise again, and vice-versa.
