Takara Tomy's Lucifer 1[1] (or simply Lucifer) is a right-spin Superking Chip that features the face of the DB Core's namesake, Lucifer, a fallen angel from Abrahamic religions. It is the first of two Lucifer Superking Chips. Lucifer 1 is one of five Superking Chips to feature metal. Since Solomon with a Metal Chip Core is heavier than Lucifer 1, and more balanced, Solomon is generally better.

Chassis - 2D

2D or 2-Defense is a dual-spin Defense Type Double Chassis with a "Barrier Blades" gimmick. As a Double Chassis, a 2D combination cannot use a Disc, as 2D has a Disc integrated into the design. At high spin velocity, the centrifugal force activates the Barrier Blades, which deploy outwards that are intended to nullify attacks.
Performance Tip - Orbit
- Main article: Performance Tip - Orbit
Orbit features a free rotating plastic ball tip with a diameter equal to Massive, surrounded by a three tabbed ring. In theory, the wider tip would increase a Beyblade's Knock-Out Defense by having greater surface area and friction, however, in practice the free rotating nature of the ball reduces most of the Knock-Out Resistance given by the surface area of the ball. Like other ball based Defense Performance Tips, the tabs around Orbit are meant to act as brakes against Knock-Outs at the cost of Stamina by striking against the stadium floor, however, the large diameter makes such contact rare. If hard launched, Orbit creates an aggressive movement pattern early in the battle, bringing the Beyblade to the Tornado Ridge.
While these features may imply that Orbit-based Combinations would be easy to Knock-Out, in reality the heavy weight of SwitchStrike/God Layers and Core Discs compensate for the rotating ball. Furthermore, the free rotating tip increases the Burst Resistance of an Orbit-based Combination and Orbit consistently has a stronger spring lock than Atomic which further improves Burst Resistance.
In addition to the Defense properties, Orbit also features high Stamina as the free rotating nature reduces friction with the stadium floor, the wide ball tip keeps a Combination stable and thus prevents scraping.
