Victory Valkyrie Bumper Assault (ビクトリーヴァルキリー・バンパー・アサルト, Bikutorī Varukirī Banpā Asaruto), stylized as Victory Valkyrie βumper αssault, is an Attack Type Beyblade released by Takara Tomy as part of the Burst System as well as the Dual Layer System. It was released as a CoroCoro Exclusive Booster in Japan in February 2017.

Energy Layer - Victory Valkyrie[]

Main article: Energy Layer - Victory Valkyrie

Like its predecessor Valkyrie, Takara Tomy's Victory Valkyrie has three upward slanted wings that excel at Knock-Out Attack but the Layer falls behind its predecessor Valkyrie at giving Bursts. Unlike Valkyrie's teeth, the teeth of Victory Valkyrie have no problem with wear due to them having greater width, following the model introduced with Xcalibur. The teeth are also very tall which allows the Layer to withstand its own recoil and avoid Self-Bursts which made this Layer an excellent choice for Attack Combinations.

There are three minor mold variations of Victory Valkyrie: the first mold has completely hollow wings which make it very fragile and prone to breaking. The second mold, introduced with the Kirin Limited Campaign Green Ver. release, has added bars within the wings for reinforcement. However, despite these reinforcements, this Layer continued to suffer cases of breaks. This led to a third mold, first introduced in Asian releases of the B-57 Triple Booster Set and Japanese releases of the B-64 Beyblade Super Custom Set Heavy Ver.. This mold includes a reinforced center ring along with the aforementioned bars within the wings, which not only addresses most of the breakage issues but also causes the part to weigh about half a gram more than its first mold variation. It is advised for Bladers to find a third generation mold because of this increased weight and durability, though the first and second versions will suffice if one is prepared to replace them.

Forge Disc - Bumper[]

Bumper features a cuboidal design, akin to the mineral Bismuth, with numerous gaps in each square. Due to these gaps, Bumper is very lightweight and ill-suited for Knock-Out Defense or Attack and the rough perimeter makes it ill-suited for Stamina as well due to its poor Life-After-Death. While the light weight can bolster Burst Resistance, other Forge Discs such as Knuckle can do the same with greater Stamina.

Performance Tip - Assault[]

Main article: Performance Tip - Assault

Takara Tomy's Assault is a wider version of Accel. It is a flat-based Performance Tip and is the same height as all previous Performance Tips released in the Beyblade Burst series. The top of the Driver features a symbol called alpha (α, the first letter of the Greek alphabet) which represents "αssault", for easy recognition between other Performance Tips. While Bladers commonly spell it as Assault, the use of the α in the official spelling ensures that the one-part-per-letter rule gets followed in the Burst System, instead of doubling the As.

Assault performs like a standard flat tip, but it is just much faster around the stadium compared to previous releases because of its tip's wider circumference. The enhanced speed makes Assault great for Attack Combinations, but this comes with sacrifices of control of the Beyblade. Due to the speed this Driver produces, it makes it a lot harder to pull off a flower pattern by Banking or performing a Sliding Shoot. As such, it is mostly only good at defeating Mobile Combinations that wander close to the Tornado Ridge, which it follows wildly once it catches onto it. The larger surface of contact's higher friction also comes at the expense of lower Stamina, with Assault losing spin velocity earlier than smaller flat tips and delivering mediocre hits by the time it reaches the center of the stadium.
