Energy Layer - Orpheus O2[]

Main article: Energy Layer - Orpheus O2

Hasbro's Orpheus O2 is a symmetrical Defense Type Energy Layer that’s round in shape. Its design consists of two sloped blades made of colored plastic that go from the front to the back; with each one having a gap at the front, two orb-like designs made of clear plastic that are near the back of the Layer, three clear spikes at the back of the Layer, akin to Treptune, and string-like designs that run down the center of the Layer. Along with a face on the front side of Orpheus O2, its design resembles a lyre, representing the Layer's namesake; Orpheus, a musician in Greek mythology.

Forge Disc - Armed[]

Main article: Forge Disc - Armed

Armed is a symmetrical Forge Disc with six round shield-like protrusions and engravings along with two bumps on either side that make room for the Forge Disc's slots. While it has a bulky appearance implying a heavy weight, in reality it is actually very light due to how hollow it is. Armed’s lightness gave it the greatest Burst Resistance of any Forge Disc at the time while the relatively smooth surface reduced recoil when struck if paired with a Performance Tip with poor Stability. However, this same lightness severely reduced Knock-Out Defense and Stamina as a trade-off.

Performance Tip - Defense[]

Main article: Performance Tip - Defense (Burst)

Defense features a ball tip and sits at a standard height. A ring sits halfway down the Performance Tip, and the ball tip has four tabs. The tabs are intended to force the Defense Combination back into an upright position after being knocked off balance and act as brakes to prevent Knock-Outs by striking against the stadium floor at the cost of Stamina. While the ring may imply Defense potential, it is positioned too low for any opposing Beyblade to make contact with. However, the smooth perimeter of the ring does grant Life-After-Death (LAD) potential.
