Hopefully this can shed some light and uniformize what everybody is stating. Personally my scientific mind is not even satiated with the following schema yet, but I do not know if even a microscope would bring concrete data. I did my best with both my naked eye and a magnifier, as well as what some people posted around the board.
(Disclaimer : Spriggan is just not drawn as long as the rest; my bad. Also, they were drawn so that you can imagine the movement of the white tab towards disassembly/burst as going from left to right.)
For those not too familiar with the mechanism that causes separations in Beyblade Burst, teeth and their cavities are a primordial part of the Beyblades in this new generation, almost as much as the shape of the overal Layer. The teeth section is on the underside of the Layer, facing downwards, and the cavities emprison a short tab on the white part of the Driver's top. This tab moves across the cavities and teeth as you assemble the Beyblade, and as it disassembles as well. The movement from one cavity to another happens whenever the Layer presses down onto the Driver, because the latter has a spring in it. This is usually caused by impacts from the opponent's Beyblade. For this reason, the distance between each cavity is important, so whether teeth are "fat" or bold, but also the length of the teeth sometimes.
I hope I did not make any mistakes, but here are my observations :
Valkyrie : There are three teeth that are almost taller than the ring they are a part of, and the fourth teeth is actually fattened into a block that continues onto the ridge in the centre of the Layer.
Basically, whereas other Layers almost have an extra chance with that small bump that is the "fourth teeth", Valkyrie has more last-chance risk but it traps the tab more.
Since the teeth are longer and that the impact is downwards and to the side due to the tab sliding forth and back even through assembly, this means that wear would definitely happen.
Spriggan : The teeth seem to be in ascending order, from smaller to bigger, except the bump at the end. This inherently gives more and more of a chance to the Beyblade equipped with this Layer to avoid being burst.
Kerbeus : This Layer's cavities might be smaller, but that is thanks to teeth that appear to be bolder and cut-off at their end, which means that a knocked-off tab that is mometarily stuck in between two cavities does have some chance at going back to its original cavity because it takes more to make it cover the distance to the next cavity. However, this is obviously on a very small dimension.
Ragnaruk : Quite simply, the teeth here appear to not even touch the Driver. Not that bursts have been noticed to be a lot more frequent with this Layer from what I saw, but short teeth means that the tab can dislodge itself from a cavity more easily.
Deathscyther : Its first two teeth are slightly taller than the ring they are a part of, with the first being just a little bit fatter than the second. The third is also wide but cut horizontally, and there's no fourth - the ridge of the central ring just appears right then, slightly taller than the third tooth. From what I can see, there is a chance the first two teeth could wear down like Valkyrie's. In any case, this means that the Driver's white tab is perhaps more encased with this smaller number of teeth and due to two of them being long, but it also gives less chances before a burst.
Wyvern : This Layer's first three teeth seem to go ever so slightly from smaller to bigger, with a smaller, cut-off knob at the end. This implies that it would be harder to knock the Driver's white tab even though the Beyblade is close to bursting.
Trident : The cavities between Trident's teeth are very shallow. In fact, they are level with the last, 'fourth' tooth which usually just consists of a lump before the inner ring's wall takes off at its maximal height. Although the height of the teeth are not as low as Ragnaruk's, it does not help encase the Driver's white tab that much either. All teeth are rather squarish, or at least gradually so until they reach the 'lump'.
Amaterios : These teeth are just slightly not as tall as Valkyrie's, so they do not appear to necessarily point up above the inner ring of the Layer, but there are only three teeth and they are very similar to those of Valkyrie.
That being said, if anyone is equipped to take very macroscopic photographs that all show exactly the same portion of the underside and at exactly the same angle, that would be more awesome than my drawing, hah. My goal is to have at least some diagrams for Beywiki, reference purposes, etc.
I do not think there is actually much to discuss besides confirming or infirming what I believe I see (and this is really needed !), but hopefully we can keep this topic updated as more Burst Layers come out that use this mechanism, just to have common grounds to compare.
