It's a tournament for cash, so something meta is preferred if people know. I will be buying the parts based upon the responses I receive because I currently do not have any burst series Beyblades. Thank you in advanced for any help!
Here are the applicable build rules for the tournament:
"Only Beyblade (Bey) products from the “Burst” franchise, distributed by Hasbro, Takara-Tomy or Sonokong are allowed for tournament use.
The Drift Performance Tip (Dr), and all its variants are prohibited from tournament play. (This includes MDr, Dr-Sp/TSP22, etc.)"

*THIS ADVICE IS BASED ON MY OPINION AND IS THEREFORE SUBJECTIVE*
*PLEASE READ ALL THE WAY THROUGH*
Beware: the Spriggan core does not work well with dash tips. You may know what I mean if you test this.
Best attack type parts imo (ordered best to worst):
Blades: Guilty, Xiphoid, Ulitimate, Savior, Astral (right spin mode)
Armours: 2, 3 (works best on Ultimate and Savior), 9 (same as 3), 1 (use only on Xiphoid, always use on Xiphoid)
Cores: Belial II (Divine Belial version is preferred, but Ultimate Belial version works as well), Perseus, Xcaliber (same as 1)
Disks: Nexus + S Gear (best on Ultimate and Guilty), Fortress, Giga, Karma
Tips: Xtreme', Quick', Destroy', Variable' (awakened)
*notes:
Only use old metal lock system drivers on the Longinus core. The Metal Destroy that comes on Guilty Longinus and the Metal Xtreme that comes with Astral Spriggan use the old metal lock caps. These tend to damage most db/bu cores. Longinus, Bahamut, and Kerbeus are the only cores that I know won't be affected by the old metal lock system drivers. Any metal lock system drivers released after the Overdrive set I know uses the fixed caps that don't damage teeth. Nexus + S Gear works best with Xtreme' and Quick'.
The best combos imo for burst resistance are:
Dynamite + F Gear Perseus Over High Xtend+' 10
Vanish Fafnir Over High Xtend+' 9
For attack at a lower cost, I would recommend that you buy Guilty Longinus B-198, Astral Spriggan Customize Set B-188, Ultimate Valkyrie B-193, and Command Dragon (Hasbro Pro Series). I would buy all of these except command dragon on malloftoys. Command Dragon (pro series) seems to be the cheapest on Target.com. The total comes out to around 120 USD As for the combos, I would use Guilty Longinus Nexus + S Gear Metal Xtreme 2, Ultimate Valkyrie Karma Variable' 9, and Astral Spriggan Over Quick' 0. If you wanted to get a little bit more meta, but more expensive as well, I would also get the Beyblade Burst Overdrive Set B-191. This would add about 84 USD to your total, making it about 190 USD. With the Overdrive set, I would keep the Guilty combo the same, change the Astral combo to Savior (awakened) Belial II Karma Variable' 3, and change the ultimate combo to Ultimate Perseus Giga Quick' 9. You can also get Xiphoid Xcaliber B-200 instead of Ultimate Valkrie B-193, BUT ONLY IF YOU ARE ONLY USING TWO ATTACK COMBOS in this scenario.
For the burst-resistant combo at a lower, I would recommend you buy Vanish Fafnir B-185 and Greatest Raphael B-192. I would buy both of these on malloftoys. However, if you are getting the Overdrive set, I would not get Greatest Raphael just to keep costs down. Vanish Fafnir costs about 23 USD and Greatest Raphael costs about 24 USD. This does make only one combo, however. Without Greatest Raphael and with the Overdrive set, I would make Vanish Fafnir Tapered Bearing' 10. With Greatest Raphael, I would make Vanish Fafnir Over High Xtend+' 10. If you do get the Astral Spriggan Customize set and don't use the Over disk that comes with it, then you can forgo Greatest Raphael if you get the Overdrive set and make Vanish Fafnir Over Bearing' 10.
These are the teams I recommend ordered by cost from least expensive to most expensive:
Guilty Longinus Karma Metal Destroy 2, Xiphoid Xcaliber Xanthus Quick' 1, Vanish Fafnir Over High Xtend+' 9
cost: 124 USD
Guilty Longinus Nexus + S Gear Metal Xtreme 2, Xiphoid Xcaliber Xanthus Quick' 1, Vanish Fafnir Over High Xtend+' 9
cost: 141 USD
Guilty Longinus Giga Metal Destroy 2, Xiphoid Xcaliber Xanthus Quick' 1, Prominence Perseus Tapered Bearing' 10
cost: 161 USD
Guilty Longinus Nexus + S Gear Metal Xtreme 2, Xiphoid Xcaliber Giga Quick' 1, Astral Spriggan (left mode preferred) Over Bearing' 10 / Prominence Perseus Over Bearing' 10
cost: 211 USD
Guilty Longinus Nexus + S Gear Metal Xtreme 2, Xiphoid Xcaliber Giga Quick' 1, Vanish Fafnir Over Bearing' 10
cost: 234 USD
Guilty Longinus Nexus + S Gear Metal Xtreme 2, Xiphoid Xcaliber Giga Quick' 1, Vanish Fafnir Over High Xtend+' 10
cost: 258 USD
Here is how I would rank the combos used in these teams in terms of competitive usefulness (best to worst):
Vanish Fafnir Over High Xtend+' 9, Vanish Fafnir Over Bearing' 10, Guilty Longinus Nexus + S Gear Metal Xtreme 2, Xiphoid Xcaliber Giga Quick' 1, Guilty Longinus Giga Metal Destroy 2, Astral Spriggan (left mode preferred) Over Bearing' 10, Prominence Perseus Over Bearing' 10, Prominence Perseus Tapered Bearing' 10, Guilty Longinus Karma Metal Destroy 2, Xiphoid Xcaliber Xanthus Quick' 1
