Yegdrion Y2 Gravity Yielding, known in Japan as Yaeger Yggdrasil Gravity Yielding (イェーガーユグドラシル・グラビティ・イールディング, Yēgā Yugudorashiru Gurabiti Īrudingu) is a Stamina Type Beyblade released as part of the Burst System as well as the Dual Layer System. It was released in Japan on July 16th, 2016 for 900円 as the prize Beyblade in Random Booster Vol. 3 Yaeger Yggdrasil.G.Y.

Forge Disc - Gravity
- Main article: Forge Disc - Gravity
Gravity has a thick, octagonal shape and bears designs that resemble steel plates on each of its eight segments. As with all Forge Discs, it has two tabs that protrude from the top and fit in the slots in the Energy Layer. These tabs are marked with a stylized G to identify the Forge Disc.
Gravity was tied with Heavy for the heaviest Forge Disc in the game, making it a solid choice for adding weight to the Beyblade and increasing its Knock-Out Defense. Compared to the rather compact Heavy, Gravity has a larger diameter and more of its weight packed around its perimeter, giving it arguably what was the best Stamina in the game and increasing the mobility of more aggressive Combinations with the Flywheel Effect. However, it has been outclassed by 7 for Stamina. The high spin momentum provided by Gravity's Outward Weight Distribution (OWD) means that the overall Beyblade will not lose much spin upon collision with an opponent, however that means that the force of the impact will instead be absorbed by the Energy Layer, causing it to skip teeth to cope with the shock.
Performance Tip - Yielding
- Main article: Performance Tip - Yielding
Yielding features a cone shaped tip made of PolyOxyMethylene (POM) thermoplastic rather than traditional plastic. Yielding's gimmick is that the POM plastic has less friction against the stadium floor than traditional plastic, increasing a Combination's Stamina. Embossed into the top of the Performance Tip is a stylized 'Y' for easy identification.
Due to the lowered friction, Yielding yields high amounts of Stamina and procession time, however this low friction also brings lowered Knock-Out Resistance and Stability. The Stability issue is further exacerbated by the angle of the cone; unlike Metal Fight Beyblade's Defense Tip, the angle of Yielding is more acute, akin to Big Wide Defense, causing an increase in the risk of floor scrapes. It is possible to improve the Stability somewhat by wearing down the tip, however the low friction means that this takes time.
The advantage Yielding has over other Performance Tips such as Revolve and Defense is greater Burst Resistance as the low friction means that there is less force to be taken by the teeth of a Layer.

Trivia
- Yegdrion Y2's japanese name, Yaeger Yggdrasil, is based from the German word "Jaeger", which means "hunter", and "Yggdrasil", the world tree connecting all the nine realms of Asgard, Midgard (Earth), Jotunheim, Alfheim, Nidavellir, Vanaheim, Niflheim, Muspelheim, and Hel in Norse mythology.
- Yegdrion Y2's avatar resembles a cross between a tree and a giant turtle, a reference to the World Turtle from Hindu, Chinese and several North American mythologies.
