Roar Spriggan Fortress Kick-2 (ロアスプリガン・フォートレス・キック-2, Roa Supurigan Fōtoresu Kikku-2) is a Stamina Type Beyblade released by Takara Tomy as part of the Burst System as well as the Dynamite Battle Layer System. It was released in Japan on May 28th, 2022 for 1400円 as one of six possible Beyblades in Random Booster Vol. 29.
DB Core - Spriggan
- Main article: DB Core - Spriggan 1
Takara Tomy's Spriggan 1 (or simply Spriggan) is a dual-spin DB Core that features the DB Core's namesake, a spriggan, a creature from Cornish folklore. It is the first of two Spriggan DB Cores, and has average Burst Resistance. Spriggan 1 is generally outclassed by other dual-spin DB Cores, such as Achilles, which has greater Stamina. As a dual-spin DB Core, its spin direction can be switched between right-spin and left-spin with an included tool.
Blade - Roar
- Main article: Blade - Roar (Takara Tomy)
Takara Tomy's Roar is a left-spin Defense Type Blade with a gimmick similar to its predecessors in the "Bahamut" Layer line. As the Roar combination begins to lose "clicks" and progresses through the Lock towards Bursting, two protrusions are pushed outwards, changing Roar's initial elliptical shape into a rounder circular shape. In practice, the useful circular shape cannot be consistently used. Despite its Defense Type classification, Roar does not perform particularly well in Defense combinations, instead being used in Stamina combinations. Roar has generally worse Same-Spin Stamina than Vanish, with moderate Opposite-Spin Stamina performance. Roar is best used on wide Opposite-Spin Stamina Drivers such as Drift.
Armor - 2
- Main article: Armor - 2
Takara Tomy's 2 is an Armor with two pointed ends opposite to each other. The two-sided shape has an even weight distribution at two opposite points to increase Attack.
Forge Disc - Fortress
- Main article: Forge Disc - Fortress
Fortress is a symmetrical, hexagonal DB Disc, with high Outward Weight Distribution (OWD). Like the Outer Disc, Fortress has large gaps separating the center from the edge. These gaps are intended to further increase OWD and Stamina. Fortress is one of the heaviest Discs available, alongside Giga and Over. Compared to the aforementioned two DB Discs, Fortress has comparable Defense and Stamina performance against Same-Spin opponents, but lags behind against Opposite-Spin opponents. However, thanks to its shape and heavy weight, it has excellent Attack performance equal or greater than Giga, and thus can be used for Attack combinations. In addition, the shape of Fortress synergizes well with the Guilty Blade.
Performance Tip - Kick
- Main article: Performance Tip - Kick
Kick is a Performance Tip that features a low-angled cone shaped tip protruding from a cylinder with an outer ring around it. The tip of Kick has a similar shape to that of Survive with some minor differences. In theory, the outer ring gimmick supports itself when hit, relying on built-in springs to re-stabilize itself. However in practice, the gimmick rarely works as intended, and even when it does, the effects are minimal. Furthermore, at low spin velocities Kick will often scrape, reducing Stamina.
Kick is further hampered by a lack of Stamina against both Same and Opposite Spin opponents. It is heavily outclassed by other Stamina Type Performance Tips, such as High Xtend+'.
