Sword Valtryek Sting-P Xtreme' Retsu is an Attack Type Beyblade released by Hasbro as part of the Burst System as well as the Pro Series System. It was released in western countries as a part of the Evo Elite Champions Pro Set for USD$52.99 in the United States.
GT Chip - Valtryek
- Main article: GT Chip - Valtryek
Valkyrie is a right-spin Gatinko Chip that features an armored face with a stylized V adorning the helmet, intended to represent the Gatinko Chip's namesake, Odin's handmaidens in Norse mythology, Valkyrie. Valkyrie has a standard weight for Gatinko Chips and high Burst Resistance. Valkyrie features two hard Locks, giving it high Burst Resistance, even when a Dash Driver is not used. When paired with the Goku Layer Weight, Valkyrie is an excellent Gatinko Chip to use in right-spin Combinations.
Hasbro's Valtryek is virtually unchanged from Takara Tomy's Valkyrie, but manufactured with weaker materials.
Layer Weight - Retsu
- Main article: Layer Weight - Retsu
Retsu has three hexagons, one on the right side and two on the left side. That means most of the weight will be concentrated on one side of the Beyblade the Retsu weight is on. Also, the Retsu weight's hexagons don't have that much detail, they are just basic, thus having less weight than detailed weights like Sen and Goku. Being that the weight of Retsu is low compared to more-detailed layer weights stated in the previous sentence, Retsu is heavily outclassed and has no use in combinations.
Layer Base - Sword
- Main article: Layer Base - Sword (Pro)
Slash is a Right-Spin Attack Type Layer Base that features three upward slanted wings as the primary points of contact, akin to its predecessors in the Valkyrie Energy Layer line. As part of the Gatinko Layer System, Slash is compatible with any Right-Spin or Dual-Spin Gatinko Chip. While the three-sided shape implies Slash has high Attack potential, the wings are too short and do not protrude far enough to make decent contact. While its aggressive shape has moderate Attack potential, Slash is outclassed by Judgement for right-spin Attack Type Layer Bases.
Hasbro's Pro Series Sword is virtually unchanged from Takara Tomy's Slash, but manufactured with weaker materials.
Forge Disc - Sting-P
- Main article: Forge Disc - Sting-P
Sting is a round four-sided Forge Disc, with a spring-loaded outer plastic piece, allowing the plastic piece to move independently of the Forge Disc when hit. Sting is a versatile Forge Disc, and can be used for Attack, Defense, and Stamina Combinations. The bound gimmick does not come into play much, but the heavy weight and Outward Weight Distribution (OWD) makes it useful for any type of combination.
Performance Tip - Xtreme'
- Main article: Performance Tip - Xtreme'
Xtreme', like its predecessor Xtreme, features a flat rubber tip with a circular depression in the center that sits at the standard height. Unlike its predecessor, Xtreme' features a much thicker spring in its locking mechanism, increasing Xtreme''s Burst Resistance and solves the weakness featured in its predecessor.
Due to surface area to friction ratio, Xtreme' will create a highly aggressive, and if launched with a Banking Shoot, somewhat controllable movement pattern. In terms of speed, because it uses softer rubber than its predecessor, Xtreme' is faster than Xtreme and is as fast as or slower than Jolt or a worn Variable. Xtreme''s high speed allows for strong attacks and its high friction creates less chances of losing the Banking Pattern in battle making it the best choice for Attack Combinations at the time of writing.
However, Xtreme' has two major weaknesses. Firstly, the high friction of the rubber means that Xtreme' has incredibly low Stamina, furthermore, the light weight of early Burst System Combinations compared to previous Systems means that there is less inertia, exacerbating the Stamina issue further. Secondly, Xtreme' will wear down with use, decreasing its aggression with little to no improvement to the tip's Stamina, meaning that multiple copies must be purchased in order to replace worn ones. Furthermore, Xtreme''s softer rubber wears down more quickly than Xtreme's.
Like other Dash Performance Tips, Xtreme' features a stronger spring lock, increasing the Performance Tip's Burst Resistance.
