Gatinko Chip - Achilles
- Main article: Gatinko Chip - Achilles
Achilles is a right-spin Gatinko Chip that features an armored face and a sword, meant to represent the Gatinko Chip's namesake; the Greek hero, Achilles. Achilles has a standard weight for Gatinko Chips, and the highest Burst Resistance. Its high Burst Resistance is due to its two hard and two standard locks, the highest lock count of any Gatinko Chip. This gives Achilles high Burst Resistance, even when a Dash Driver is not used. When paired with the Goku Layer Weight, Achilles is the ideal Gatinko Chip to use in right-spin Combinations.
Hasbro's Pro Series Achilles is virtually unchanged from Takara Tomy's Achilles. but manufactured with weaker materials.
Layer Base - Lord
- Main article: Layer Base - Lord
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.
Forge Disc - Paradox
- Main article: Forge Disc - Paradox
Paradox is a rather wide disc, consisting of two components. The first component is a rather small disc, which holds the prongs that insert into the layer, and is entirely made of plastic. The second is a rather wide ring, containing metal on the outer parts, as well as 5 plastic blades. These two parts allow for the gimmick of Paradox: The outer ring can be placed on the inner disc so that the blades either point upwards or downwards. The upwards mode, additionally, is only compatible with the Naked Layer Base.
The unfortunate width of these blades means that Paradox scrapes often on the lower oriented mode. Additionally, it is rather light compared to other options. This can be used for your advantage on LAD centric drivers, such as Rise and Mobius, where they want to stay up in order to equalize. However, where it truly shines is on the Naked Layer Base. In the upward mode, it compliments it perfectly, in a way that allows the Naked Base to be hit less. However, this setup is rather light, even for a Gatinko Beyblade.
Performance Tip - Quick'
- Main article: Performance Tip - Quick'
Quick' features a flat rubber tip with a circular depression in the center that sits at the standard height. Quick' is very similar to the previously released Xtreme'; however, the rubber tip is a smaller diameter. Compared to Xtreme', Quick' offers greater control and Stamina.
Due to surface area to friction ratio, Quick' creates an aggressive, and if launched with a Banking Shoot, controllable movement pattern. In terms of speed, Quick' is comparable to Xtreme' and Jolt'. Quick''s high speed allows for strong attacks and its high friction creates less chances of losing the Banking Pattern in battle making it one of the best Performance Tip choices for Attack Combinations, along with Xtreme'.
However, Quick' has two main drawbacks. Firstly, the high friction of the rubber means that Quick' has low Stamina, although not nearly as low as Xtreme'. Secondly, Quick' will wear down with use, decreasing its aggression, meaning that multiple copies must be purchased in order to replace worn ones.
Like other Dash Performance Tips, Quick' features a stronger spring lock, increasing the Performance Tip's Burst Resistance.
