Gatinko Chip - Joker

Main article: Gatinko Chip - Joker

Joker is a right-spin Gatinko Chip that features two symmetrical heads of a joker, an entertainer from the European Middle Ages. Joker has a standard weight for Gatinko Chips and high Burst Resistance. Joker features a hard Lock that gives it high Burst Resistance, even when a Dash Driver is not used. When paired with the Goku Layer Weight, Joker is an excellent Gatinko Chip to use in right-spin Combinations.

Hasbro's Joker is virtually unchanged from Takara Tomy's Joker, but manufactured with weaker materials.

Layer Weight - Sou

Main article: Layer Weight - Sou

“

A Weight built into a Layer. A Weight that enhances the Balance performance of the Base with the weight concentrated in the center, and also enhances the Attack performance with the weight distributed in two places on the left and right.

— Official Description

„

Sou is shaped similarly to Metsu, but it only has two hexagons, one on each side. This makes it one of the lightest Layer Weights. Sou has very little use, given even Sen, Zan, and Retsu outclass it for usage as generic weights for different types. Sou does not offer anything that is better than any of the weights that are used more often. Sou is intended to provide a central weight distribution, however, this barely has any effect.

Layer Base - Rock

“

A Defense Type Base that parries the opponent's attack with six gentle downward blades that keep the attack away.

Performance Tip - Eternal

Main article: Performance Tip - Eternal

Eternal features a sharp tip of a small diameter surrounded by a free-spinning dish made of PolyOxyMethylene (POM) thermoplastic, akin to a combination of Revolve and Bearing. The sharp tip of Eternal provides low friction with the stadium floor, resulting in high Stamina and Burst Defense properties. While the small diameter of the sharp tip may imply easy Destabilization, the wide diameter of the free-spinning ring helps maintain Stability. The wide diameter of the ring also provides Eternal high Precession time which is useful against Opposite-Spin and Mobile Stamina Combinations. However, due to the low friction of POM plastic, Eternal has slightly less Knock-Out Resistance compared to its predecessor Revolve.

In the current metagame, Eternal is best suited for Pure Stamina Combinations due to the use of Atomic, akin to Revolve. While the POM ring may imply higher Precession, akin to Bearing, the lack of a bearing mechanism means that the POM construction has a negligible effect and that Precession is more dependent on how free-spinning the ring is. What does effect the Precession time is the diameter of the Dish; Eternal's dish is much wider than Revolve's, making it outclass Atomic in Precession time and outclass Revolve in most areas.

Eternal is slightly shorter than most other Pre-Cho-Z Performance Tips. In theory, this is meant to prevent the opponent's Layer from striking the Eternal Combination from below and Destabilizing it, thus increasing Defense potential. In practice however, due to the design of the Burst System, this increases the chances of Disc-to-Layer contact and can potentially Burst the Eternal Combination. Though the only minor reduction in height heavily mitigates the effect.
