Quote:[Hasbro Name], known as Maxumim Garuda in Japan, is a God Energy Layer released as part of the Burst System. It debuted with the release of the B-87 Maximum Garuda 8Flow Flugel on July 22, 2017.
==Description==
Maximum Garuda is a Stamina Type Energy Layer, that features a wide, perfectly round and smooth edge, akin to the Flying Defense Attack Ring from the Original Plastic Generation. As part of the God Layer System, Maximum Garuda features a gimmick; connecting the perimeter to the center are five blades that create Upper Force.
In theory the Upper Force will "lift" the Beyblade off of the Stadium and decrease friction between the Performance Tip and the Stadium floor to improve stamina. In practice however, the blades instead create air resistance when spinning and slow the Beyblade down, an issue that becomes exacerbated the harder the Maximum Garuda Layer is launched.
The Takara Tomy release of Maximum Garuda features only one, shallow tooth. The rest of the Layer is supported by shallow slopes akin to those found on Hasbro Energy Layers. While such a feature may imply poor Burst resistance, the perfectly round perimeter creates little to no recoil which prevents both Bursts and Knock-Outs, creates high Life-After-Death and creates high resistance to Spin Equalization Combinations. Furthermore massive size of Maximum Garuda leads to high weight which further boosts Burst resistance. As a result Maximum Garuda becomes an ideal Layer for Defensive combinations.
==Use in Defense Combinations==
Maximum Garuda can be used in the Defense Combination Maximum Garuda 2Glaive/4Glaive/6Glaive/8Glaive/Yell/Heavy/Gravity Atomic/Defense. The heavy weight of the 2/4/6/8/Yell/Heavy/Gravity Disk bolsters Maximum Garuda's Knock-Out resistance while the Glaive Frame further bolsters Life-After-Death. The Atomic Driver further bolsters Life-After-Death with its free spinning ring and boosts Burst resistance with its free spinning ball while Defense can provide both greater Knock-Out resistance and stamina.
==Overall==
Maximum Garuda has become a top-tier Layer for Defense Combinations due to its high Knock-Out and Burst resistance and Life-After-Death. As such, every blader should own this Layer.

UGH this draft looks terrible and clunky. [Censored] you writer's block!
