Arc Bahamut 7Cross Revolve for me.

I'd usually use Atomic, but all 3 are already in use and so is my backup in Orbit, which is only left in its Hasbro version. Revolve is pretty good though, and given the parts that are already in use this is about the best I can pull off without resorting to the overpowered Hell Salamander layer to lean on. Drain Fafnir and Bloody Longinus are probably its biggest foils though, but I'm honestly fine losing to either.

I'll give a few thoughts on the competition as well in this spoiler.

Spoiler (Click to View)

Legend Spriggan 7B Br - What is Legend Spriggan, a heavily offensive layer, doing on Bearing? This doesn't synergize well at all, even in opposite spin.
Galaxy Zeus 7G Atomic - Not too bad actually. gZ isn't the best thing in the world, but it's not terrible and stands a decent chance.
Bloody Longinus 0M Atomic - Bloody Longinus does not like being shackled to Stamina or Defense drivers, which is probably going to be its downfall. Like Legend Spriggan, this would be better on a more Attack oriented driver.
Drain Fafnir 7G Atomic - Classic dF power, and no complaints. The only thing it really has to fear is hS.
Screw Trident 10 Bump Yielding - Yielding is actually a decent choice since it improves sT's weak burst resistance, with extra Defense added because of 10Bump's weight. This is taking a fairly alright part and trying to stopper up its greatest weaknesses, and I respect that highly.
Zet Achilles 7M Xtreme - This is definitely trying to maximize Z Achilles' attack power, and I can't complain about that. It's what it's best at.
Revive Phoenix 5C Orbit - The pool is suffering somewhat to the part thinning at this point. Overall decent, but riding a bit more on rP than the other parts to pull it through. Cross is a good choice though.
Twin Nemesis Magnum Unite - Unite is actually an interesting part to use here, but Knuckle is overall too lightweight for a God combo and is this combos weak point, and could fail simply due to its less weighty disk.

Kinda surprised that I beat Drain Fafnir on Atomic. Thought that would be a big counter because of its better LAD, but I guess Bahamut toughed it out well enough to only lose 1 point to it by spin finish. It shows how good Bahamut is as a layer even against left spin. It's really a lot tougher than its teeth would indicate.

Z Achilles probably got bodied hard though, which was pretty unfortunate for it. I can't see Achilles having an easy time trying to take out this sort of left spin Defense type, even if Revolve is generally stronger for Stamina than Defense. It suffers the same way Sieg Xcaliber would in that sort of matchup as its attacks get hindered and reduced, which was simply unfortunate as my bey is basically a hard counter.

Honestly surprised that Legend Spriggan on Bearing worked as well as it did though. I guess its offensive nature helped tear Bahamut's weak teeth apart for that burst loss, and was a bit of a sleeper hit I never expected to make it so far.

Either way, I'm glad I chose Arc Bahamut over Hell Salamander. Hell Salamander might have had an easier time dealing with Legend Spriggan and winning overall, but it would've been too cheap a victory. I will take my second place with pride, especially given how many parts had already been taken by the point I joined and how unusual my combination was to begin with. I don't think Arc Bahamut on Revolve was something people would usually expect as an option, and I'm glad it worked out as well as it did.

There was no hell salamander, that was exceed evil eye

So now it's time to reveal phase 2 of the tournament. Title matches.

A person will submit a combo that they want to use to try and get on the big 5. You can start submitting asap, and this will also work out well for me because when I get new parts I can just update the post instead of not using them

You know, upon a closer inspection you're right. I guess the colors are just that similar?
