Superking Chip - Achilles
- Main article: Superking Chip - Achilles
Achilles is a right-spin Superking Chip that features an armored face and a shield, akin to its predecessors in the Achilles line. The design represents the Superking Chip's namesake: the Greek mythological hero, Achilles. Achilles has an average weight for Superking Chips, and is thus outclassed by heavier right-spin Superking Chips such as Hyperion 2 and Solomon, which have metal, as well as Diabolos and Spriggan, which has the versatility of dual-spin capabilities. Since the differences between most Superking Chips is only cosmetic, it is recommended to use the aforementioned Superking Chips over Achilles, as they offer additional advantages.
Ring - Tempest
- Main article: Ring - Tempest
Takara Tomy's Tempest is a right-spin Attack Type Ring that features two front blades as well as two rear upper blades, similar to its predecessor, Ace. The original B-171 release of Tempest features rainbow stickers, referencing Rainbow-Flux.
Like its predecessor the Imperial Base, Tempest features four "Bound Blades" and an accompanying mode change gimmick, with Tempest being able to change from its "Bound Mode" into an "Awakened Mode". In the default Bound Mode, the wings are hidden beneath the Ring and the long Bound Blades are spring loaded, which can be used to perform "Bound Attacks", similar to God Valkyrie's spring loaded blades.
In its Awakened Mode, the front short Bound Blades are pushed out and lock in place. This is accomplished when struck by an opponent during battle. When the two front blades have been pushed out, the rear long Bound Blades will follow and lock in place along with the front short Bound Blades due to its internal mechanisms. However, the two front Bound Blades are not connected with each other and can only be pushed out individually. In Awakened Mode, the Tempest Ring features a much more aggressive design compared to Tempest in Bound Mode. In theory, this is supposed to drastically increase Tempest's Attack power. However in reality, the Bound Blades do not have enough Attack power to consistently knock out its opponents, a must-have ability for a competitive Attack Type Ring. Furthermore, the Bound Blades will revert back to the Bound Mode if the front Bound Blade has a heavy impact against its opponent, meaning that the Awakened Mode's Attack power is limited. Furthermore, the rear Bound Blades do not feature designs as aggressive as the front Bound Blades, and the front Bound Blades have limited Attack power due to the possibility of being pushed back into Bound Mode.
Despite being advertised as an Attack Type Ring, Tempest's real potential lies in Stamina and Stamina/Defense hybrid combinations. In Bound Mode, Tempest has an extremely round shape, and the rear long Bound Blades can parry attacks due to its spring loaded gimmick. Tempest is also heavier than other Rings that excel in Stamina and Defense combos such as World, Infinite (with the Infinite Shield) or Curse, which increases its Stamina capabilities and stability.

1B or 1-Balance is a dual-spin Balance Type Double Chassis featuring five blades. As a Double Chassis, a 1B combination cannot use a Disc, as 1B has a Disc integrated into the design.
