— Official Description

Takara Tomy's Lord is a dual-spin Balance Type Base with four blades: two feature faces representing a spriggan, a creature from Cornish folklore, and the other two of which are large rubber blades. The design takes influence from its God Layer predecessors: the overall shape is reminiscent of the Legend Spriggan Layer, and the rubber blade gimmick is similar to the Spriggan Requiem Layer. The two large rubber blades act as the primary points of contact, granting the Base high Spin-Equalization with an Opposite-Spin opponent due to the high friction of the rubber. The Lord Base also features metal lining the rubber blades.

Like its God Layer predecessors, Lord features a dual-spin gimmick; unlike other Layers in the Spriggan line, Lord does not require a specialized tool to switch spin directions, as the change can be done by twisting the underside center portion of the Base by hand. Due to its rubber blades and dual-spin gimmick, recoil between Lord and the opponent's Bey can be reduced by setting the spin direction to the opposite of the opponent, maximizing Defense and Stamina potential. As such, Lord is best used in Spin-Equalization Stamina combinations. While the asymmetrical design may imply different performance depending on spin direction, Lord's round design makes little difference.
