Making a "tanky" Bey

Hiya! newbie here looking to maybe buy a beyblade Grin taking a break from 40k/minis and well always loved this game! I may even try to start a local vegas scene!! (I made a thread for that in the communities section. SO anyway I always loved being the tank, the immovable wall, the iron shield, what have you and was wondering if I could do that for this? To be honest I've been out of this for a looooooooong time, talking like when metal was first launched. So help me find/build/buy a tank!?
Spriggan Requiem 0Bump Bearing

Seriously, just look at this video: https://youtu.be/RaBEo48INnE
(Note, Spriggan Requiem is a Dual Rotation Beyblade and it was set to Left spin throughout the whole video and the beginning was against Nightmare Longinus (A Left Spin Beyblade) so it was a worst case scenario)
Another tank that deserves trying

Why's that? Is it a pretty good tank?

Is this combination sold like how all beyblades are sold? or do i gotta get multiple blades for different parts? Just asking, like I said I've been out of it for a long time lol I remember having the original dragoon, and trying out the noticeably smaller metal beyblades back in like 08 or something.

SO to make sure I understand, Spriggan Requiem is the top part, 0bump i imagine is the weight disk, and bearing is the bottom tip?

Arc Bahamut,7,Bump,atomic and bearing you can get with the God Customize set,you can get Glaive with Kreis Satan or Blast Jinnius and you can get 0 with Spriggan Requiem or Emperor Forneus
wV.0U.Yd is a brute!

but for pure “tank” i’d say
wV.0B.bite

(only because octa will cost you $1000 to get)

$60 vs. $1000

bite is not cheap, but it’s in an entirely different category from octa
Spriggan Requiem is a great source for parts. It comes with a spin-stealing layer that can take up most hits, it has a heavy disc, and a driver that has three modes for whatever you want it to do. If you happen to get other beys, you can make some great tanks.

Another tanky bey is Screw Trident. It has a great layer, that can absorb impacts so it doesn't take very much damage and barely moves. It has a disc that is double-edged (for every good thing, there is a bad thing to it as well), being 8 having good weight distribution at the cost of burst resistance. There is also Bump, the heaviest frame available. The thing that brings the bey's potential downhill is the driver, Wedge. It has low friction, giving it a lot of stamina, but it's unbalanced, wasting all potential stamina.

My last tanky bey example is Alter Chronos. It's layer can switch modes from unbalanced to balanced, making it mostly unpredictable to opponents. The 6 disc is one of the lightest discs there is, so it's meh. Meteor is the second best frame for attack types because it is jagged and heavy. The driver is Trans, which can switch from Attack to Stamina mode. Both modes are great, and you can use them on other beys to create a good balance bey.

Just adding something, the stamina mode has very little surface area and can be knocked over easily.
Thanks for all the replies. WOW! I didn't realize beyblades could cost that much at all O.o; why is that? Richieboi why do you say Emperor Forneus?

That's why I cannot try it. So it remains a request

It's a part from a Exclusive bey. It's the heaviest driver available. It's rare, so it costs a lot.

Yeah. It's not 1k though, it's around $100-200 (pretty expensive for a top)

That's a attack bey, not a tank (as in Defense or Stamina)

like LordLOLs said, twin Nemesis is not a tank. It's primary use is to tornado stall or destabilize opponents.

unless you are talking about diablo Nemesis then wrong generation.

It's more of a balance type and it's the heaviest ever
