Xiphoid Knight K8 Nexus-Q Assault-Q+Quattro II-7 is an Attack and Balance Type Beyblade that is a part of the Burst System as well as the QuadDrive System and the QuadStrike System. It was released in western countries as a QuadStrike Single Pack for USD$9.99 in the United States.

Hasbro's Knight K8 is a right-spin Strike Chip that features a knight's helmet representing the DB Core's namesake. Knight K8 has an average weight for Strike Chips and average Burst Resistance.

Unlike its Takara Tomy counterpart, Knight K8 does not have the vertical movement gimmick.

QS Blade - Xiphoid

Hasbro's Xiphoid is a right-spin Attack Type QS Blade based on Takara Tomy's Xiphoid BU Blade. Xiphoid has a blocky shape similar to its Takara Tomy counterpart, but lacks any metal, being made completely of a single plastic piece. While the weight distribution is still imbalanced to an extent, the effect is not as notable as the Takara Tomy version, which focuses the weight at a sword tip-like protrusion. The sword tip-like protrusion of Hasbro's Xiphoid is noticeably shorter and rounder than the original, and thus is no longer the primary contact point of the QS Blade. Like other QD Blades, Xiphoid can switch between Apex and Core Modes by swapping the position of the Gravity Ring from the top of the Blade (Apex) to below it (Core).

Gravity Ring - 7

Main article: Gravity Ring - 7

Hasbro's 7 is a Gravity Ring based on Takara Tomy's 7 Armor. As such it retains the same general shape as 7, seven blades, with three on one side, and four on the other. Unlike its Takara Tomy counterpart however, it is made of plastic instead of metal, and as such its weight has been reduced. In theory, 7 creates an imbalanced weight distribution which increases Attack potential. In practice however, since all Gravity Rings are plastic instead of metal like Takara Tomy's Armors, they are all around the same weight and offer no differences in performance, with the main difference between them being only aesthetic. As any differences in the weight distribution of a Combination are negligible, it is difficult to suggest using a particular Gravity Ring over another. Furthermore, most QuadDrive System Layers are lightweight and thus outclassed by heavier Layers.

Forge Disc - Nexus-Q

Main article: Forge Disc - Nexus-Q

Hasbro's Nexus-Q is an eight bladed Disc based on Takara Tomy's Nexus. It retains the same general shape as its Takara Tomy counterpart, but is smaller in size and about 6 grams lighter. Due to its shape, Nexus-Q works best in Attack Combinations.

Like Nexus, Nexus-Q is compatible with the S Gear and D Gear. When the S Gear is set in its face-up position, the four tabs of the S Gear lock into four grooves on Nexus-Q, becoming fixed in place. When set in its face-down position, there are no tabs and thus the S Gear can free-spin on Nexus-Q. The D Gear slides a short distance when struck, repelling the opposing Beyblade.

Performance Tip - Assault-Q

Main article: Performance Tip - Assault-Q

Assault-Q is an Attack Type Performance Tip and Hasbro's QuadDrive counterpart to Assault. Like its normal counterpart, Assault-Q features a wide flat tip and retains the same general shape. The wider surface area of the flat tip creates speeds greater than Performance Tips such as Accel, but comes at the cost of control and Stamina. Due to its speed, it is more difficult to perform a flower pattern by Banking or performing a Sliding Shoot with Assault-Q. Consequently, Assault-Q is most useful against Mobile Combinations that wander close to the Tornado Ridge.

Assault-Q features a slightly modified shape to accommodate two attachment points for an Armor Tip. Like all QuadDrive Performance Tips, an Armor Tip can be attached to Assault-Q, switching it to "Plus Mode". In this mode, Assault-Q is essentially replaced by the Armor Tip, and the height becomes similar to a SpeedStorm Performance Tip. As Assault-Q features a strong spring and thus high Burst Resistance, it is recommended to use Assault-Q as the base QuadDrive Performance Tip for an Armor Tip.

Armor Tip - Quattro II

Main article: Armor Tip - Quattro II

Hasbro's Quattro II is the second Armor Tip adaptation of Takara Tomy's Quattro Driver. Like other Armor Tips, it can be attached to QuadDrive Drivers via two attachment points. When attached to a QuadDrive Driver, it is referred to as the "Plus Mode", essentially replacing the QuadDrive Driver as the main contact point with the Beystadium. The subsequent height becomes similar to that of a SpeedStorm Driver.

Quattro II is a QuadStrike Armor Tip, and as such has a bulky and wide shape, akin to a HyperSphere Driver. Although Quattro II has a flat tip, the overall design does not appear to be based on any particular mode of Quattro, and has a Balance Type classification.
