Face Bolt - Lyre

Main article: Face Bolt - Lyre

The Face Bolt depicts "Lyra", one of the 88 space constellations. It's represented by an eagle carrying a Lyra, either on it's wings or in its beak. In Greek mythology, a musician named Orpheus was killed by the female follower of Dionysu, the Maenads. Upon his death, his lyre was thrown into a river, after which the Zeus, the God of the Sky and Thunder, sent an eagle to retrieve the lyre and ordered both the Lyre and Orpheus to be placed in the sky as a constellation. The design features a red and black lyre with eyes and flaming strings on a silver Face Bolt.

Energy Ring - Lyre

Main article: Energy Ring - Lyre

Lyre appears to have an unusual appearance, with many curves it gives it a lyre-like appearance. Lyre's apperance makes it seem like it is unbalanced because the spirals are mirrored. If you look at the Pegasus III energy ring, for example, the wings are all curved to the left but if you look on the Lyra energy ring, the left spiral, it's curved to the left while the right spiral is curved to the right. This is the first energy ring to have mirrored designs. Small circular-like spheres appear on the Ring's top and bottom. The Energy Ring released for Spiral Lyre ED145MF is black with a translucent silver on the Ring's sides with red characters appearing near the spheres..

Fusion Wheel - Spiral

Main article: Fusion Wheel - Spiral

Spiral resembles a distorted version of Storm with three wings that curve upwards and line down with a small gap between each wing. Each wing has a slope that is bigger than the other one, and features oval-like protrusions that appears to slightly push-up for Smash Attacks. Before its release, Spiral was advertised as having high Upper Attack due to the slopes, however upon testing, it did not show much Upper Attack at all.

While not having the correct slopes for Upper Attacks, it is however able to conduct Upper Smash Attacks. Spiral is a powerful Attack-Type Fusion Wheel but is outclassed by other Wheels like Beat, Lightning, and Variares. Despite this, Spiral can deal a great amount of Upper Smash Attack if used with the right Energy Ring. Specifically, small Energy Rings that expose more of the metal of Spiral, Pisces and Tempo are recommended, however Pisces has better use. Spiral can be used very effectively in the balance combo MF Spiral Tempo (Screw Horogium) 90MF.

Spin Track - Eternal Defense 145

Main article: Spin Track - Eternal Defense 145

Eternal Defense 145 (ED145) features three "wings" that can freely spin around the Spin Track. The wings and overall design are similar to Wide Defense 145 (WD145). Because of the wings' free spinning nature, Eternal Defense 145 mainly finds use in Defense Type combinations. However, Eternal Defense 145 is not as effective as others such as Boost Disk 145 (BD145), or even Claw 145 (C145), as it is unable to absorb hits effectively. The wings lack the mechanism of a bearing, hence creating friction between the wings and body of the Spin Track, resulting in less hit absorption.

Performance Tip - Metal Flat

Main article: Performance Tip - Metal Flat

Metal Flat (MF), as the name implies, is a flat tip made of metal, giving it an aggressive movement. However, since metal has more traction than plastic flat tips, Metal Flat has more speed due to less friction. However, this means Metal Flat has considerably less Defense. This can be mitigated with a Defense Type Spin Track like Eternal Defense 145 (ED145). In addition, unlike its plastic counterparts, Metal Flat can keep the sliding shoot pattern. Metal Flat also offers greater control and Stamina over its rubber counterparts such as Rubber Flat (RF), but less aggressive movement and recoil control. Due to its aggressive movement and Stamina, Metal Flat also finds use in Tornado Staller combinations.

Trivia

  • Spiral Lyre has similarities with Twisted Tempo 145WD and Spiral Capricorn 90MF. First, the Lyre ring is about the same gray colour as Tempo, which used to be Faust/Toby's bey. Second, Like Spiral Capricorn, Lyre uses Spiral and MF. This may be a reference to some beys that were important to Toby as Faust.
  • It's the 2nd Bey to have a Spiral Fusion Wheel and a MF Performance Tip. The 1st was Spiral Capricorne 90MF.
