Revision as of 18:32, 26 November 2019
The Beyblade Burst™ Performance Top System™ is the official name for the third generation of Beyblade tops released by Hasbro. All Beyblade Burst™ tops include a dynamic “burst” feature designed to burst into pieces during battle. Originally released in Japan on July 18th of 2015 by Takara Tomy as the Burst System™, Hasbro began worldwide distribution of Beyblade Burst™ products in September of 2016 under the name Beyblade Burst™ Performance Top System™.
WHAT IS THE BEYBLADE BURST™ PERFORMANCE TOP SYSTEM™?
Takara Tomy's Burst System™ and, by extension, Hasbro's Beyblade Burst™ Performance Top System™ features a new series of Beyblade tops with the innovative "Burst" feature which adds a new gameplay dynamic alongside the traditional “Spin Finish” and “Over Finish”. With the "Burst" feature, a Beyblade Burst top can burst into pieces during battle, resulting in a “Burst Finish”. This innovation was designed to increase excitement while playing with exhilarating finishes.
Since introduction, the Beyblade Burst™ Performance Top System™ has received multiple updates to its core mechanics, including improved Beyblade Parts, Beystadiums, and Shooters. Hasbro would begin development into their own updates to distinguish themselves from the Takara Tomy Beyblade Burst brand. This created two distinct business strategy, with both companies focusing their resources toward different aspects of the game.
Takara Tomy focused much of their development towards the advancement and improvement of the Layer component, with much of their product lines centering around different series of Layers, each with a distinct gimmick.
Hasbro would devote their resources toward the advancement of Performance Tip and Beystadium technology.
PERFORMANCE TOP SYSTEM™ COMPONENTS
Each Beyblade Burst™ top is composed of 3 parts, each playing a distinct role in how the top will perform.
The ENERGY LAYER™ represents an ancient fighting spirit and acts as the main point of contact between two tops in combat. Each ENERGY LAYER™ affects how the BEYBLADE BURST™ top engages with an opponent when they collide in battle.
The FORGE DISC™ is a die-cast metal ring that sits between the ENERGY LAYER™ and PERFORMANCE TIP™. Each disc varies in weight and shape to affect the center of gravity and weight of the top, causing different reactions in battle.
The PERFORMACE TIP™ serves as the base of every BEYBLADE BURST™ top and influences how your BEYBLADE BURST™ top maneuvers around the BEYBLADE BURST Beystadium™.
Unlike the previous generation of Beyblade tops, BEYBLADE BURST™ tops do not require an Assembly Tool to assemble them, instead following a similar process to first generation Beyblade systems.
BEYBLADE BURST™ TOP TYPES
Every top belongs to one of four combat categories (called Types), based on its primary battle strength. During battle, the Bey with the Type Advantage will fight more efficiently than the other, effectively neutralizing their battle tactics.
Traditionally, the Attack Type counters the Stamina Type, the Stamina Type counters the Defense Type, and the Defense Type counters the Attack Type. However, the Balance Type differs from the other three Types in the regard that these Beyblade tops typically improve upon the weaknesses of the other three Types. Balance Types normally possess relatively balanced Stats, including in the areas of Agility and Weight, making this Type adept at most situations, especially in the hands of expert Bladers. Selecting the most suitable Beyblade Type is an important factor for Bladers to consider when devising their strategy as the appropriate Type can counter your opponent's Beyblade enabling your Bey to fight more efficiently.
HOW TO WIN
Each player loads their BEYBLADE BURST™ top onto their BEYBLADE BURST™ launcher and pulls the ripcord over the BEYBLADE BURST Beystadium™ at the same time. The first player to get to 3 points wins!

If you knock your opponent’s BEYBLADE BURST™ top out of the ring or into one of the pockets. |
If your opponent’s BEYBLADE BURST™ top stops spinning before yours. |
If your opponent’s BEYBLADE BURST™ top bursts in battle. |
WHAT IS THE DUAL LAYER SYSTEM?
In April 2016, following the release of their Single Layer System, Takara Tomy introduced the next entry into the BEYBLADE BURST™ product line. The next series of Beyblade Burst tops introduced the "Dual Layer System" (デュアルレイヤーシステム) which featured Layers with a revised, composite design, using a two-tier, gestalt structure using a Layer Core and Over Layer. The Layer Core is the central component of the Dual Layer that acts as a base for the Over Layer, and usually facilitates major combat functions. Layer Cores are also the component that features the effigy of the Beyblade's avatar. Conversely, the Over Layer is the clear-tier component(s) of the Dual Layer that covers the Layer Core and assists in shock absorption during collisions. Over Layers are also the component which features the initials of the Dual Layer (engraved in its center). Most Over Layers are designed for added shock absorption and to complement the Layer Core.
The term "Triple Layer" (トリプルレイヤー) is used to describe any Dual Layer Beyblades with a three-tier structure. This applies almost exclusively to Takara Tomy's Xeno Xcalibur.M.I and Lost Longinus.N.Sp. The hallmark feature of this design is the inclusion of an additional layer part(s) atop the OverLayer. Both Beyblades have features unique from each other, with Xeno Xcalibur possessing an extended, sword-shaped "Sword Layer" (ソードレイヤー) and Lost Longinus possessing "Metal Dragon Layer Parts" (鋼鉄の龍レイヤーパーツ).
WHAT IS THE GOD LAYER SYSTEM?
Switchstrike Beyblades are the second generation of Beyblade Burst tops released by Hasbro. These battling tops featured specialized Energy Layers equipped with Switchstrike tech (Japanese: 神能力, God Ability)[1] for unique battle actions. This series of Beyblades were originally released by Takara Tomy in Japan under their God Layer System (Japanese: 神レイヤーシステム) series, which launched their third generation of Beyblade Burst tops on March 18, 2017 starting with the B-73 Starter God Valkyrie.6V.Rb. These battle features have varying degrees of activation, ranging from immediate to rare.
Along with God Layers, this system also introduced a new customization option in the form of two-part, customizable Forge Discs. These upgraded Discs consisted of two (2) components: the "Core Disc" (Japanese: コアディスク) and the "Frame" (Japanese: フレーム). Core Discs are the metal component of the Forge Disc and come in an variety of weight, designs and shapes, similar to standard Forge Discs. While this component can be used independently, when assembled with a Frame, Core Discs gain an added dimension of interaction that are normally unavailable to them, and drastically alter how the Beyblade top behaves in battle. Forge Discs with this design feature were given the Frame Compatibility (Japanese: フレーム対応) label (denoted by the small, blue box beside the image of the Disc description at the rear of the product package).
Incidentally, this very innovation was first introduced with the Heavy Metal System series of First Generation Beyblades, featuring similar two-part, Customized Weight Disks.
Incorporated with every God Layer is a removable, circular token called a God Chip (Japanese: ゴッドチップ). While particularly inessential, God Chips provide aesthetics to the Beyblade, but offers no practical value. Takara Tomy produced a variety of God Chip called Metal God Chip (Japanese: メタルゴッドチップ). These variants were more useful in competitive play simply because of their increased weight.
The Mugen Beystadium DX Set included a special Metal God Chip designed exclusively for the God Valkyrie Layer called the Strike God Chip (撃ゴッドチップ). When properly applied, God Valkyrie's "Spring Blade" God Ability is disable, but enables a "barrage attack" capability.
With this system, the combo naming system for the two-part Forge Disc followed a simple format, using the full number of the Core Disc followed by the first letter of the Frame (e.g. "5" Disc with Glaive = 5G). Changes to the abbreviation system also extends to Switchstrike Energy Layers. as the first letter of the first word is lowercase, while the first letter of the second word is uppercase (e.g. God Valkyrie = gV).
WHAT IS THE CHO-Z LAYER SYSTEM?
The fourth series of Beyblade Burst tops released by Takara Tomy in March 2018, introduced the "Cho-Z Layer System" (超Ƶレイヤーシステム), starting with B-104 Starter Winning Valkyrie.12.Vl. These Beyblades feature Energy Layers reinforced with zinc-alloy metal parts, resulting in more intense, high-impact battles. These Energy Layers also feature their own signature gimmicks and properties called a "Cho-Z Ability" (超Ƶアビリティ). (e.g. Winning Valkyrie's "Metal Slash" (メタルスラッシュ).)
This series also continues the use of customizable Core Discs and Frames that were first introduced with the God Layer System. New Core Discs and Frames were produced that are also backward-compatible with previous Core Discs and Frames.
Similar to the God Chips of the God Layer System, Cho-Z Layers have their own unique customization option. Using hoop-shaped accessories called "Level Chips" (レベルチップ), that fit beneath the 'face' of a Cho-Z Layer, players can improve various facilities of the Layer such as stability, locking mechanism, even weight when equipped. Level Chips also plays a special role in official wbba. competitions and are usually exclusively obtainable at official wbba. events. Though, they can be acquired through alternative means (i.e. CoroCoro promotional).
In mid November 2018, Takara Tomy released Cho-Z Valkyrie.Z.Ev, the first of three Beyblade tops featuring the revolutionary, new Cho-Z Ability: Cho-Z Awakening (超Ƶ覚醒). Cho-Z Energy Layers with this feature are built with Turbo Wing (超Ƶウイング, Chō-Zetsu Wing) pop-out action that engages with high-powered Launches. When launched with appropriate strength, these Cho-Z Wings will deploy, switching from their basic Normal Mode (通常モード) to a high-performance Invincible Mode (無敵モード). This drastically improves their overall capabilities, while also deploying Burst Stoppers (バーストストッパー) into the Layer's slots, thus preventing the "Burst" feature from activating.
SlingShock System
- Succeeding the Beyblade Burst SwitchStrike Layer System is the SlingShock System. Beyblades in this series have the metal on their Energy Layers replaced with plastic compared to their Takara Tomy counterparts. Forge Discs are still a thing in this system as well. The Performance Tips include a height changing gimmick in order to work with the Beystadiums exclusive to this line.
WHAT IS THE GATINKO LAYER SYSTEM?
Japan's fourth series of Beyblade Burst tops were released in March 2019, starting with B-133 Ace Dragon.St.Ch Zan DX Starter pack, introducing the "Gatinko Layer System" (ガチンコレイヤーシステム). In place of a single layer, the Gatinko Layer System is comprised of three parts: the Gatinko Chip (ガチンコチップ, Gachinko Chippu), the Weight (ウエイト, Ueito), and the Base (ベース, Bēsu).
In mid-October 2019, Takara Tomy released a new type of Energy Layer Beyblades with Prime αpocalypse.0D.Ul' and Regalia γenesis.Hy, with the Mugen Lock (無限ロック) feature. These Beyblades feature Layers built without the "Burst" feature which prevent the Beyblades from Bursting.
