Shining Amaterios 3 Destroy' (光アマテリオス・スリー・デストロイダッシュ, Shainingu Amateriosu Surī Desutoroi Dasshu), stylized as Shining αmaterios 3 Destroy', is an Attack Type Beyblade released by Takara Tomy as part of the Burst System as well as the Cho-Z Layer System. It was released with the Beyblade Burst Battle Zero game for the Nintendo Switch in Japan on October 25th, 2018.
Energy Layer - Shining Amaterios[]
- Main article: Energy Layer - Shining Amaterios
Takara Tomy's Shining Amaterios (or Burning Amaterios) is an Attack Type Layer that features 2 sets of 5 alternating blades. Like its predecessor Shadow Amaterios, the center of the Layer features the Layer's namesake: Amaterasu, the goddess of the sun in Japanese mythology. As part of the Cho-Z Layer System, Shining Amaterios features metal in its design: 5 of its blades are lined with metal and have plastic components that can extend outwards to expand the Layer's attack range. The other set of 5 blades are static, featuring 2 plastic protrusions each. Compared to Shadow Amaterios, Shining Amaterios has smoother extendable plastic blades and is half a gram lighter. In theory, this creates a versatile Attack Type Layer, that has both continuous strikes and powerful strikes from the 5 metal-lined blades.
In reality, the shape of Shining Amaterios is poorly suited for Attack combinations, with the gaps between blades being too small. In addition, the extension gimmick rarely activates. Consequently, Shining Amaterios is best suited for Stamina combinations, as its shape works well in Same-Spin and Opposite-Spin Stamina matchups.
Like many other Cho-Z Layers, Shining Amaterios can increase weight and reduce Burst risk with the use of a Level Chip that fits underneath the Layer.
Forge Disc - 3[]
- Main article: Forge Disc - 3
3, unlike every other odd numbered Core Disc released before it, is symmetrical and elliptical in shape in order to facilitate a Frame. Each side features three small protrusions, akin to Knuckle and 8, which is looped and molded into the shape of a "3".
In addition to the "3" shapes, 3 features a heavy ring in the center. The heavy ring provides 3 with a Centralized Weight Distribution (CWD), akin to Yell and Central. This type of weight distribution provides multiple advantages, such as having high Knock-Out Resistance from the centralized weight, and having high Attack potential due to the higher spin velocity. Furthermore, due to 3's large size and smooth bottom, it has high Life-After-Death without a Frame. However, the centralized weight provides 3 with numerous drawbacks as well.
Due to the lack of Outward Weight Distribution (OWD), Defense and Stamina Combinations using 3 will not be able to maintain spin after heavy impacts, which creates poor spin retention. If used in Attack Combinations, the centralized weight will slow down the movement of Mobile Attack Combinations. Furthermore, 3's light weight of 21.6 grams makes it outclassed by many other Core Discs.
Performance Tip - Destroy'[]
- Main article: Performance Tip - Destroy'
Destroy' features an eight-pointed star tip, akin to Jaggy, under a free-spinning plate that sits at a standard height.
Due to the tip's shape and diameter, Destroy' will create an aggressive movement pattern equivalent to Jaggy with the same moderately controllable movement pattern and speed.
What sets Destroy' apart from Jaggy is the free-spinning plate that is meant to stabilize a Beyblade if it is knocked off balance by creating a second point of contact with only minimal Stamina loss due to its free-spinning nature. Unlike other Tips with similar gimmicks such as Cycle and Guard, the low placement of Destroy''s plate ensures that lock up does not occur, meaning that Destroy''s gimmick works as intended.
While Destroy' has poor Stamina from the star shaped tip, the smooth perimeter and free-spinning nature of the plate also grants Destroy' high Life-After-Death which can allow Combinations to potentially Out-Spin their opponent if a Burst or Knock-Out has not been achieved.
Like other Dash Performance Tips, Destroy' features a stronger spring lock, increasing the Performance Tip's Burst Resistance.
There is a mold variation of Destroy': the mold released by Hasbro in the Elite Champions Pro Set has a regular spring, which means it is in fact a normal Destroy, rather than the Dash Driver version.
