Superking Chip - Fafnir

Main article: Superking Chip - Fafnir

Fafnir is a left-spin Superking Chip that features a dragon and claws grasping the center Chip Core, akin to its predecessors. The design represents the Superking Chip's namesake: Fafnir, a dwarf turned into a dragon in Norse and Germanic mythology. Fafnir has an average weight for Superking Chips, and is thus outclassed by the heavier Helios 2, which has metal, and Spriggan, which has the versatility of dual-spin capabilities. Since the differences between most Superking Chips is only cosmetic, it is recommended to use the aforementioned Helios 2 and Spriggan over Superking Chips like Fafnir, as they offer additional advantages.

Ring - Mirage

Main article: Ring - Mirage

Mirage is a Left-Spin Stamina Type Ring that features a three-sided shape that depicts three dragon heads and a lot of rubber coating the perimeter. Akin to its predecessors, Mirage has a "F" on each side to represent Fafnir, specifically with the top of the "F" being at the very back of each head and the rest of the "F" being formed by the area in front of the next head. As a part of the Superking Layer System, Mirage is compatible with any Left-Spin or Dual-Spin Superking Chip or Chassis.

In theory, the moderately aggressive shape and large amounts of rubber should make Mirage excel in Spin-Equalization, but both of those traits actually make it experience a lot of recoil. While this would make it easy to knock out, it allows Mirage to work well in Mobile Attack Combinations. Something to note about Mirage is that it has a thin underside that holds itself and the Superking Chip that's attached very close to the Chassis, poorly exposing the teeth on the Chassis, granting below average Burst Resistance. However, the Burst risk can be mitigated by using a Double Chassis.

Mirage is designed to be used with the 2S Chassis, which allows it to make two separate modes. Absorb Mode is when the contact points of the Ring and Chassis align to make it easier to Spin-Equalize and Counter Mode is when the contact points on the Chassis are exposed to make it perform better against other Left-Spin Beyblades. Both modes are useful, so the mode that a player uses is mainly based on preference. The 3A Chassis can also be a great choice for it in Mobile Attack Combinations because the aggressive contact points give it more Smash Attack and Upper Attack power at the cost of putting less emphasis on the contact points on the Ring itself. The 1B Chassis can also be a decent choice on Mirage, solely due to boasting better Life-After-Death than the previously mentioned 2S and 3A Chassis, which mainly comes into play when using a Driver such as Destroy/Destroy'.

Chassis - 2S

Main article: Chassis - 2S

2S or 2-Stamina is a dual-spin Stamina Type Double Chassis with a triangular design. As a Double Chassis, a 2S combination cannot use a Disc, as 2S has a Disc integrated into the design. When used with the Mirage Ring, it can be switch between the Absorb and Counter Modes, depending on the orientation.

In Absorb Mode the contact points of Mirage and 2S align to make it easier to Spin-Equalize. In Counter Mode the contact points of 2S are exposed to make it perform better against other left-spin Beyblades.

Performance Tip - Nothing

Nothing (F7801; Render)
Main article: Performance Tip - Nothing

Nothing features a low angled, spring loaded cone shaped tip. In theory the tip is meant to prevent harsh impacts against the stadium floor from launch, preventing accidental Self-Knock-Outs from bouncing.

However, the gimmick means that the tip is unfixed and is capable of tilting somewhat which creates poor Stability. This poor Stability is further made dangerous by the molding of the cone which as a slightly raised lip around the center, akin to Metal Fight Beyblade's Eternal Wide Defense or Wave Wide Defense which when knocked off balance the lip creates a second point of contact, creating acceleration which reduces Stamina. As such, Nothing is outclassed in terms of Stamina by Revolve and Atomic.
