Victory Valkyrie Knuckle Unite (ビクトリーヴァルキリー・ナックル・ユナイト, Bikutorī Varukirī Nakkuru Yunaito) is a Balance-Type Beyblade that's a part of the Burst System as well as the Dual Layer System. As a video game-exclusive Beyblade, it was never released.
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 Knockout (KO) 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 - Knuckle[]
- Main article: Forge Disc - Knuckle
Knuckle is a circular Forge Disc with six notches around the perimeter and four holes near the center of the Forge Disc. The letter "K" is written on its prongs for easy differentiation from other Forge Discs. Due to the holes in the Disc, most of the weight of Knuckle is focused around its perimeter giving it high Outward Weight Distribution (OWD) which results in excellent Stamina properties. However, it lags behind other Forge Discs like Spread and Gravity in terms of Stamina potential.
Although, one advantage Knuckle holds over the aforementioned Forge Discs is increased Burst Resistance which only falls behind Down and Armed, both of which suffer from scraping issues and low Stamina respectively. Due to its good Stamina, decent weight and high Burst Resistance, Knuckle was once an excellent Forge Disc for all kinds of Combinations. However, Knuckle has since been outclassed by heavier Forge Discs.
Later releases of Knuckle by Hasbro, particularly the ones included with Poison Cyclops C5 Knuckle Guardian-H and the Evolution Trio Spryzen 3-Pack, are noticeably lighter, at about 18.5 grams compared to the 20.2 grams average.
Performance Tip - Unite[]
- Main article: Performance Tip - Unite
Unite features a flat rubber tip with a sharp plastic tip in the center that sits at the standard height. When launched straight down into the stadium, the sharp tip in the center will keep the Beyblade stable and still in the center, preventing Stamina loss.
When a mint condition Unite is either knocked off balance by an opponent or launched at an angle, the rubber will make contact with the stadium, creating an aggressive movement pattern with speeds similar to Xtreme. However this aggressive movement is somewhat unreliable as the sharp center can slow it down in the center of the stadium or stop the movement entirely.
When worn however, instead of creating aggressive movement when struck, the rubber will instead act as brakes against a Knock-Out, at the cost of Stamina, before going back to the center of the Stadium due to the sharp tip.
