Prominence Phoenix Tapered Metal Universe-10 (プロミネンスフェニックス・テーパード・メタルユニバース-10, Purominensu Fenikkusu Tēpādo Metaru Yunibāsu-10) is a Defense Type Beyblade released by Takara Tomy as part of the Burst System as well as the Dynamite Battle Layer System. It was released as apart of the Overdrive Special Starter Set in Japan in October 9th, 2021 for 5940円.
In the toyline, it is the successor to Dead Phoenix 0 Atomic.
DB Core - Phoenix
- Main article: DB Core - Phoenix
Takara Tomy's Phoenix is a right-spin DB Core that features its namesake, the phoenix, a mythical immortal bird. Like the Belial 1 DB Core, Phoenix has four Locks, which create average Burst Resistance. Phoenix is generally outclassed by other right-spin DB Cores, which have additional advantages: for example, Kerbeus has greater Burst Resistance, while Dragon offers greater Stamina.
Blade - Prominence
- Main article: Blade - Prominence (Takara Tomy)
Takara Tomy's Prominence is a right-spin Defense Type Blade with a wide round perimeter. Like its predecessors, the Revive Phoenix and Dead Phoenix Cho-Z Layers, Prominence has the "Prominence Shield" attached to the Blade via a locking mechanism. The Prominence Shield can be attached vertically or horizontally; depending on the orientation, Prominence is either in "Normal Mode" or "Heavy Mode". In its Normal Mode, the Prominence Shield is easier to knock off during battle. The loss of the the Prominence Shield makes the Blade lighter, but the smoother perimeter created reduces the chance of a Burst. In its Heavy Mode, the Prominence Shield is more difficult to knock off as it is impeded by the Armor locking mechanism. When the Prominence Shield is knocked off and left in the Stadium, it can interfere with the opponent and impede Banking Patterns and reduce Stamina.
Due to its weight distribution, Prominence performs poorly against Same-Spin opponents utilizing popular right-spin Blades like Wind. Furthermore, if the Prominence Shield is knocked off, its Stamina is severely reduced. Prominence finds some use against left-spin Opposite-Spin opponents, and the Heavy Mode is recommended to avoid the reduction in Stamina.
The primary usage of Prominence is in pure Defense combinations against right-spin Attackers. The Prominence Shield will absorb much of the impact from attacks; although it can also be used against left-spin Attackers like Guilty, it is not as effective against left-spin Attackers as Blades such as Barricade. However, if the Prominence Shield is knocked off, Prominence is vulnerable to Knockout (KO) Attack.
Armor - 10
- Main article: Armor - 10
Takara Tomy's 10 is an Armor with triangular shapes at ten points. This design creates a stable weight distribution and high Stamina, as its weight is evenly distributed among ten points. As such, it is highly versatile and one of the most useful Armors, and finds the most use in Defense and Stamina combinations.
Forge Disc - Tapered
- Main article: Forge Disc - Tapered
Tapered is a round DB Disc with an ideal weight distribution for all combinations. Its round design increases Outward Weight Distribution (OWD) and creates high Stamina potential. Its heavy weight also grants it high Attack and Defense potential. Its general shape and performance is similar to Over, with the most notable difference between the two Discs being that Tapered has a downward sloping cone shape rather than the cylindrical shape of Over.
Performance Tip - Metal Universe
- Main article: Performance Tip - Metal Universe
Metal Universe is the Metal Lock Driver version of the Universe Performance Tip. As such, it features a Metal Lock and a stronger spring, increasing weight and Burst Resistance. The Metal Lock has shorter tabs than standard and Dash Locks, resulting in lower Burst Resistance, despite the stronger spring.
Like Universe, it is a Defense Type Performance Tip that features a free spinning wide hemispherical ball tip with a free spinning outer ring. In theory, the wide ball tip would increase Knock-Out (KO) Defense by having greater surface area and friction. However, in practice the free spin of the wide ball tip reduces KO Defense. The free spinning outer ring is intended to keep the Metal Universe combination upright after being knocked off balance, as well as acting as brakes to prevent Knock-Outs. Compared to Universe, Metal Universe's ring and wide ball tip spin more freely.
Due to the large surface area of the wide ball tip, Metal Universe will typically circle around the ridge of the stadium when hard launched, resulting in a Self Knock-Out. However, this issue is not present in larger stadiums such as the Beystadium DB Standard Type. This weakness means Metal Universe should only be launched softly in smaller stadiums, and use against Same-Spin Opponents should be avoided.

Trivia
- Like its predecessors Revive Phoenix 10 Friction and Dead Phoenix 10 Friction, Prominence Phoenix's name is a combination of "prominence", the state of being important or famous, and "phoenix", a legendary bird made of fire that cyclically regenerates every time it dies.
- Due to being owned by a different Blader, the Prominence Phoenix avatar is a separate, altered variant than an upgrade of Revive/Dead Phoenix's avatar, noted by Prominence Phoenix's red metallic body stylized as a crest, a golden armor face, gold and white plating, a turquoise gem on the lower body, and flaming wings and tail extensions.
- Like Crash Ragnaruk 11Reach Wedge, Cyclone Ragnaruk Giga Never-6, Wizard Fafnir Ratchet Rise Sen, Zwei Longinus Drake Spiral' Metsu and Dread Bahamut 7Wall Orbit Metal Gen, Prominence Phoenix is owned by Phelix Payne as opposed to the first two Phoenix Beys being owned by Phi.
- Prominence Phoenix is the last of two Beys in Beyblade Burst QuadDrive to retain its original name in both the Japanese and English versions of the anime; the other being Vanish Fafnir Tapered Kick-3.
