Stone Balderov B7 Quacchu-Q Assault-Q+Rise-3 is an Attack and Stamina Type Beyblade that is a part of the Burst System as well as the QuadDrive System. It was released in western countries as a part of the Roar Balkesh B7 and Stone Balderov B7 Dual Pack for USD$15.99 in the United States.
Drive Chip - Balderov B7
- Main article: Drive Chip - Balderov B7
Hasbro's Balderov B7 is a right-spin Drive Chip that features the side profile of Baldur, the Nordic God of Light. Balderov B7 has an above average weight for Drive Chips and below average Burst Resistance. Thus Balderov B7 is outclassed by other tighter right-spin Drive Chips.
Blade - Stone
- Main article: Blade - Stone
Hasbro's Stone is an elliptical right-spin Attack Type QD Blade with two contact points at opposite ends of the QD Blade. Like other QD Blades, Stone can switch between Apex and Core Modes by swapping the position of the Gravity Ring from the top of the Blade (Apex) to below it (Core).
Like its predecessor Twin Nemesis, the elliptical design creates high recoil and Self-Burst risk. However, while its predecessor has high Burst Resistance to mitigate the Self-Burst risk, there are currently no Drive Chips available with high Burst Resistance. Furthermore, the light weight of QD Blades means QuadDrive System Layers such as Stone are even more prone to Bursts.
Gravity Ring - 3
- Main article: Gravity Ring - 3
Hasbro's 3 is a Gravity Ring based on Takara Tomy's 3 Armor. As such it retains the same general shape as 3, with three main blades and small ridges between them. Unlike its Takara Tomy counterpart however, it is made of plastic instead of metal, and as such its weight has been reduced from about 13.2 grams to 1.5 grams. In theory, 3 has a three-sided weight distribution to work with three-sided Blades. In practice however, since all Gravity Rings are plastic instead of metal like Takara Tomy's Armors, they are all around the same weight and offer no differences in performance, with the main difference between them being only aesthetic. As any differences in the weight distribution of a Combination are negligible, it is difficult to suggest using a particular Gravity Ring over another. Furthermore, most QuadDrive System Layers are lightweight and thus outclassed by heavier Layers.
Forge Disc - Quacchu-Q
- Main article: Forge Disc - Quacchu-Q
Hasbro's Quacchu-Q is a circular QD Disc with four large gaps along the edge. These gaps are intended to increase Outward Weight Distribution (OWD), boosting Stamina while the circular perimeter increases Life-After-Death (LAD). The design has a downward sloping conical shape similar to Tapered-Q and features textures resembling samurai armor. Compared to Tapered-Q, Quacchu-Q is strictly inferior, weighing less and having a higher scrape risk due to its lower hanging conical segments. If Quacchu-Q is used in combinations with the Greatest Armor Gravity Ring, the conical segments will push against the Gravity Ring to the point of heavy plastic stress, greatly increasing Burst Resistance.
Performance Tip - Assault-Q
- Main article: Performance Tip - Assault-Q
Assault-Q is an Attack Type Performance Tip and Hasbro's QuadDrive counterpart to Assault. Like its normal counterpart, Assault-Q features a wide flat tip and retains the same general shape. The wider surface area of the flat tip creates speeds greater than Performance Tips such as Accel, but comes at the cost of control and Stamina. Due to its speed, it is more difficult to perform a flower pattern by Banking or performing a Sliding Shoot with Assault-Q. Consequently, Assault-Q is most useful against Mobile Combinations that wander close to the Tornado Ridge.
Assault-Q features a slightly modified shape to accommodate two attachment points for an Armor Tip. Like all QuadDrive Performance Tips, an Armor Tip can be attached to Assault-Q, switching it to "Plus Mode". In this mode, Assault-Q is essentially replaced by the Armor Tip, and the height becomes similar to a SpeedStorm Performance Tip. As Assault-Q features a strong spring and thus high Burst Resistance, it is recommended to use Assault-Q as the base QuadDrive Performance Tip for an Armor Tip.
Armor Tip - Rise
- Main article: Armor Tip - Rise
Hasbro's Rise is an Armor Tip version of the Rise Driver. Like other Armor Tips, it can be attached to QuadDrive Drivers via two attachment points. When attached to a QuadDrive Driver, it is referred to as the "Plus Mode", essentially replacing the QuadDrive Driver as the main contact point with the Beystadium. The subsequent height becomes similar to that of a SpeedStorm Driver.
The Rise Armor Tip retains the same general shape of its Driver counterpart, featuring a sharp tip surrounded by a plate. Unlike the Driver, the Rise Armor Tip does not have a downward facing plate, and the sharp tip protrudes further.
