DB Core - Valkyrie

CoreValkyrie2
Main article: DB Core - Valkyrie 2

Takara Tomy's Valkyrie 2 (or simply Valkyrie) is a right-spin DB Core that features a side profile of an armored face with a stylized V adorning the helmet, based on one of its predecessors, the Victory Valkyrie Dual Layer.[1] This design represents the DB Core's namesake, valkyries, Odin's handmaidens in Norse mythology. The center of the DB Core is based on the Strike God Chip, which is found on the Strike God Valkyrie God Layer. The B-193 and B-205 releases have Valt Aoi's red cheek mark, first seen with the Valkyrie Superking Chip. Valkyrie 2 is the second of two Valkyrie DB Cores, and has above average Burst Resistance. Valkyrie 2 is generally outclassed by other right-spin DB Cores, which have additional advantages: for example, Kerbeus has greater Burst Resistance, while Dragon offers greater Stamina.

Blade - Ultimate

BladeUltimate
Main article: Blade - Ultimate (Takara Tomy)

Takara Tomy's Ultimate is a right-spin Attack Type Blade with three V-shaped "wings" acting as the main contact points. The wings have rubber covering the contact points, which are meant to create Smash Attack. The overall shape of Ultimate is based on the original Valkyrie Layer, with detailing based on the Winning Valkyrie, rubber based on the Savior Blade, and "air duct" holes based on the Slash Blade. Compared to its predecessor in the Dynamite Battle Layer System, Takara Tomy's Ultimate has the same Attack capabilities due to its aggressive shape, but a reduction in runaway recoil, reducing the risk of Self-Bursts and Self-KOs. Over time, the rubber of Ultimate can wear down, until the plastic part of the wings become the main contact points. This results in a much greater amount of Smash Attack, but also a high amount of recoil.

Like all Blades, Ultimate can switch between Low and High Modes by swapping the position of the DB Core and the Armor.

Armor - 9

Metal armor parts that attach to Dynamite Battle Layers. 3 wing shapes at 3 points cut through the air.
— Official Description

Takara Tomy's 9 is an Armor with a three-sided design featuring nine wing patterns, reminiscent of the Wing Forge Disc. Like the previously released 3 Armor, the three-sided shape works best with three-sided Blades such as Ultimate and Vanish, finding use in Attack and Stamina combinations.

Forge Disc - Legacy

DiskLegacy
Main article: Forge Disc - Legacy

Legacy is a circular DB Disc with six downward sloping blades along its perimeter. It is essentially the DB Disc version of Boost, whose design Legacy references. In addition, two of the blades feature a "Z"-like design that are references to the Zenith Disc. In theory, the blades are intended to produce Down Force in right-spin, increasing the grip of the Beyblade on the stadium floor by pushing air downward and create Upper Force in left-spin which would decrease the friction between the Beyblade and the Stadium floor by pushing air upward. In practice however, the Down/Upper Force created is negligible and the blades reduce the Life-After-Death (LAD) of Legacy. Due to its shape and weight distribution, Legacy works best with Attack combinations.

Performance Tip - Variable'

DriverVariable'
Main article: Performance Tip - Variable'
Variable' features a rubber tip that improves as it is used. An Attack Type Driver with enhanced attack power thanks to the built-in reinforced spring.
— Official Description

Variable' features a rubber tip, made up of two sets of rubber spikes, that begins at standard height. The spikes are meant to wear down and break off with use so unlike most other rubber tips, Variable' will become more aggressive instead of less aggressive over time.

When launched in mint condition the first set of six spikes will create a mildly aggressive pattern at speeds akin to Blow, albeit without the Stamina due to the greater friction the rubber has. Due to how tall the first six teeth are and the somewhat brittle nature of the rubber in the Takara Tomy release, the first set of teeth will break off relatively quickly.

When launched after the first set of teeth have given way to the second set of fourteen spikes, Variable''s speed increases remarkably, becoming as fast or even faster than Xtreme, due to the now increased surface area and diameter. However, that same speed and diameter increase makes Variable' incredibly difficult to control at this stage as banking is difficult to maintain, Self-Knock-Outs become common and its Stamina worsens. Due to the greater number of spikes and their shorter length, Variable' does not wear out as quickly at this stage. Of the stages, this stage of Variable' is considered the best.

When the second set of spikes break off, what's left is a solid base of rubber. At this point Variable''s speed increases further but the aforementioned control and Stamina issues become even worse, having trouble even staying on the Tornado Ridge of the stadium and losing spin too quickly to perform any meaningful attacks when it begins to slow down.

When this tip loses teeth, it does become shorter as a result, granting Attack combinations Destabilization potential. Furthermore, due to the wide base, Variable' has relatively high Life-After-Death when worn down, making it a somewhat safer choice against Spin-Equalization combinations.

Like other Dash Performance Tips, Variable' features a stronger spring lock, increasing the Performance Tip's Burst Resistance.
