Valkyrie Spread Survive (ヴァルキリー・スプレッド・サバイブ, Varukirī Supureddo Sabaibu) is a Stamina Type Beyblade released by Takara Tomy as part of the Burst System. It was released as a Booster in Japan on August 8th, 2015 for 864円.
Energy Layer - Valkyrie[]
- Main article: Energy Layer - Valkyrie
Takara Tomy's Valkyrie features a three-winged design, with each wing sporting a set of two protruding contact points. These consist of a larger contact point and a smaller kite-shaped contact point. The centre of the Layer depicts an armored face, with feathers protruding off of the helmet, and a V-shape between them to represent this Layer's namesake: valkyries, Odin's handmaidens in Norse mythology.
Due to its aggressive shape and the angles of the points of contact, Valkyrie was one of the best Layers for Attack combinations, excelling in both Burst and Knockout (KO) Attack. Valkyrie features four Locks (teeth) of tall length which allow it to withstand its own recoil, however, like other pre-Xcalibur Layers, the teeth of Valkyrie quickly wear down with use and the Layer must be replaced after heavy use.
At its release, Takara Tomy's Valkyrie was one of the best Layers for Attack combinations and remained as the best Attack Layer until the release of Lost Longinus and the God Layer System, where Valkyrie then became too light to remain competitive.
Forge Disc - Spread[]
- Main article: Forge Disc - Spread
Spread is a completely circular Forge Disc, featuring a smooth perimeter and underside only interrupted by four small bumps located beneath the prongs, as well as several stylized blade designs on top. As with all Forge Discs, the letter representing the Forge Disc, in this case, S, is present on top of the prongs that fit into the Energy Layer. Spread has a significant amount of Outward Weight Distribution (OWD), and a relatively thin and aerodynamic shape, making it a viable choice for Stamina Combinations. Depending on which Performance Tip is used, Spread can also provide the combo with some Life-After-Death as it will roll along the stadium floor and give the Combination a few extra rotations after falling over, which can be crucial for Out Spinning an opponent.
For some time after its release, Spread was very useful in Stamina Combinations due to its weight distribution and its fair weight. However, as Bladers now have a wider array of competitively viable Forge Discs to choose from, Spread has fallen out of use compared to options such as Gravity and Knuckle.
Performance Tip - Survive[]
- Main article: Performance Tip - Survive
Survive is a Performace Tip with a low-angled cone shape protruding from a cylinder. As a result, while it is overpowered by some Heavy Defense Combinations, it has still shown to be useful in Stamina-based Burst Combinations.
However, it can also be used as a Defense Performance Tip in absence of better ones, and while it is outclassed, its shape helps it rebound from attacks and prevent Knock-Outs. While good ball-shaped or rubber sharp Performance Tips lack in Beyblade Burst, Survive has enough Stability to take hits without losing all balance and Precessing too early like sharper tips.
