Mercury Anubius 85XF (マーキュリーアヌビウス85XF, Mākyurī Anubiusu 85XF) is an Attack Type Beyblade released by Takara Tomy on April 1st, 2010 as part of the Beyblade: Metal Masters toyline. It could be obtained by winning the Bey Ta 1 machine or through a tournament from the WBBA in Japan.

A recolor appears in the Metal Fight Beyblade Portable: Chouzetsu Tensei! Vulcan Horuseus video game released 6 months later, as Nile's successor to Vulcan Horuseus 145D.

It later appears in the Beyblade: Metal Fury anime, where the original color version is owned by Yuki Mizusawa. In the episode Awaken Anubius!, it evolves into the Legend Version after Yuki awakens as a Legendary Blader.

In the Metal Fight Beyblade manga, Yuki uses the Brave Version.

Face Bolt - Anubius

Main article: Face Bolt - Anubius

The Anubius Face Bolt depicts "Anubis", the Egyptian god of the afterlife. The design features a side profile of the head of Anubis, facing towards the left. The word "ABS" is written in highly stylized letters at the top left of the design.

Energy Ring - Anubius

The Anubius Energy Ring is primarily two-sided, featuring round sides with a triangular spike between them.

Fusion Wheel - Mercury

Main article: Fusion Wheel - Mercury

Mercury has a resemblance to Vulcan, with two rounded sides and a medium-sized spike with a gap between each rounded side. With this, one may think that Mercury would hold powerful Smash Attack but contrary to this, Mercury has absolutely no Attack Potential whatsoever. Due to its light weight, it also is even lighter than Poison, another terrible Attack Fusion Wheel, by one gram. Luckily, it's heavier than the Torch Wheel. This does not give Mercury enough weight to pack any powerful hits, or hold its ground against others, therefore, making it useless in Attack, Defense, and Stamina; Variares, Blitz, and Beat are much better for Attack.

Spin Track - 85

Main article: Spin Track - 85

85 is the lowest Spin Track available and thus, the best Spin Track for low attackers due to its Attack and Stamina capabilities. However, 85's low height causes it to scrape the stadium floor when it begins to lose spin. Due to this, some prefer to use 90 over 85. However, if placed with tall Performance Tips, like Rubber Flat (RF), 85 can avoid floor scrapes as much as possible. Although 85 can be countered with Spin Tracks like TH170 and 230, it still remains an excellent Spin Track for Attack Type customizations. However, low-attacker Spin Tracks like 85 and 90 have fallen into disuse with the release of Flame Byxis 230WD and Hades Kerbecs BD145DS, as their Spin Tracks are immune to low attackers.

Performance Tip - Extreme Flat

Main article: Performance Tip - Extreme Flat

Extreme Flat (XF) is the second widest "Flat" Peformance Tip currently available, the first being Giga Flat (GF). Due to its wide surface, Extreme Flat has fast and aggressive movement, similar to Right Rubber Flat (R2F). However, as it is made of plastic rather than rubber, it has greater stamina and not as much grip. Extreme Flat is overall a superb Attack Type Performance Tip, and when combined with a low track such as 85, which it is often paired with, it makes a powerful low attacker combo.
