Strike Chip - Pandora Endless P8

Main article: Strike Chip - Pandora Endless P8

Hasbro's Pandora P8 is a right-spin Strike Chip that features Pandora, the first human woman in Greek mythology and best known for the Pandora's box myth. Pandora P8 has a very low weight for Strike Chips and below average Burst Resistance.

QS Blade - Lightning

Main article: QS Blade - Lightning

Hasbro's Lightning is a right-spin Stamina Type QS Blade with a round shape reminiscent of the Orichalcum O3 Layer's design. The design of Lightning also features two orbs on either side and a total of four lightning bolts, akin to the design of Orichalcum O3. Due to its round shape, Lightning is best suited for Stamina Combinations. However, it is lighter than other Stamina-use QS Blades such as Gambit, and is thus outclassed. Furthermore, while Lightning displays average Stamina performance against Same-Spin opponents, it has noticeably poor performance in Opposite-Spin matchups. Like other QD and QS Blades, Lightning can switch between Apex and Core Modes by swapping the position of the Gravity Ring from the top of the QS Blade (Apex) to below it (Core).

Lightning is one of four "elemental" QS Blades, being the Stamina Type QS Blade associated with the Lightning Element. The other elemental QS Blades are: Tidal (Attack Type and Water Element), Twister (Defense Type and Wind Element), and Flame (Balance Type and Fire Element).

Gravity Ring - 7'

Main article: Gravity Ring - 7'

Hasbro's 7' is a Gravity Ring based on Takara Tomy's 7 Armor. As such it retains the same general shape as 7, with minor design alterations. In theory, 7' has an imbalanced weight distribution, but in practice, since all Gravity Rings are plastic instead of metal like Takara Tomy's Armors, they offer no differences in performance, with the main difference between them being only aesthetic. Furthermore, 7' is the lightest Gravity Ring released at 1.3 grams, and as such virtually any other Gravity Ring is recommended over it.

Forge Disc - Twist-Q

Main article: Forge Disc - Twist-Q

Hasbro's Twist-Q is a circular QS Disc with moderate Outward Weight Distribution (OWD) and Stamina. It has three large gaps that separate the center from the edge, which are intended to further increase OWD and Stamina. Due to its heavy weight and shape, Twist-Q can be used in Attack Combinations utilizing QuadDrive and QuadStrike Layers. While the circular design may imply Twist-Q should be used in Stamina Combinations, there are other QD Discs that are better suited for the role, such as Tapered-Q.

Performance Tip - Fusion-Q

In-depth information for the Fusion-Q Performance Tip will be placed here once drafting has been completed for it. Please be patient.

Armor Tip - Still

Main article: Armor Tip - Still

Hasbro's Still is a Stamina Type Armor Tip that features a sharp tip protruding from a cylinder, with an outer ring surrounding it. The sharp tip creates low friction with the stadium floor, resulting in high Stamina. However, this low friction between the tip and the Stadium floor makes Still combinations susceptible to Knock-Outs.

In theory the smooth perimeter of the outer ring helps with Life-After-Death (LAD), but in practice the diameter of the ring is too small to touch the Stadium floor. Furthermore, due to the length and thinness of the cylindrical part of the sharp tip, Still tends to Destabilize. While Still works best for Stamina use against Same-Spin opponents, it is heavily outclassed by Kick, which is more stable and features higher Stamina overall due to the wider conical shape of its sharp tip.

Like other Armor Tips, Still attaches to QuadDrive Drivers via two attachment points. When attached to a QuadDrive Driver, the Still combination is in its "Plus Mode", with Still replacing the QuadDrive Driver as the main contact point with the Stadium floor.
