I hope that if it comes with a new performance tip, it comes with a tip like bearing but made with rubber although this would probably reduce stamina

How about something like EWD? That would be pretty cool
I think either EWD or W2D will be cool. And I think those two are good for LAD, right?
I'm expecting a Wolborg 4 type gimmick, EWD or a POM version of Nothing lol.

That's actually a really cool idea! The only type that doesn't have a Driver with rubber on it in Burst is Stamina. A rubber version of Bearing is debatably better for Spin Steal combos because it prevent knock outs, something that Spin stealers struggle with
Rubber is strictly anti-Stamina. That being said, rubber on a bearing core proved immensely powerful in Wolborg 2's Bearing Core 2, since maintaining stamina with that core cared more about the free-spinning shaft and the bearings that aided it so the increased friction doesn't matter. It's more than possible to see it happen again.
What is with you guys and Bearing Core 2? Lmao
The Bearing Core 2 fans arrive...

The Super Z Fafnir is like Winning Valkryie except in reverse because it has the opposite rotation to Winning Valkryie. I feel like those rubber blades will give Fafnir more attack power to add to its spin steal
Geist Fafnir ガイストファブニル
It's not confirmed I guess? Credit to Egnat
That's an interesting name, if real.
Geist as in poltergeist? Interesting. That could explain the almost specter like shape. The spirit of Fafnir.
It seems geist in German means ghost (correct me if I’m wrong since google translate isn’t very reliable)
Maybe it's supposed to be called Gheist Fafnir, not Geist Fafnir
Things became very interesting now. The myth Fafnir and Sigurd probably elates to giest.
So excited!! The last few releases have been making me lose interest but this will def get me back in.
I hope the new fafnir will have a good driver in terms of LAD and maybe with a 2nd version of bearing that has more stamina and better springs.
What ever the driver is, I hope it's better than Nothing. I remember thinking dF would have Bearing and I'm hoping this Fafnir has a sort of bearing driver here. We'll see though, TT is always full of surprises.
I think Fafnir will have 8' speculation
Omg! Geist Fafnir sounds awesome! By the way, Geist is the German word for 'Ghost'. :D
It's Geist not 'Gheist'. The word Gheist doesn't exist.
Also for everyone that's wondering: Geist is pronounced Gyzt not Geect.

I'm thinking the bearing gimmick might now work due to how close the plastic driver is to the ring around it. Si basically, a Nothing along with extra POM would have it have the highest stamina only from the start of the battle due to the spring absorption.
Bearing Core 2 would actually make sense since the Bey that used it, Wolborg 2, was a Stamina Type and most God and Super Z Beys have gimmicks on their Layer and Driver that are similar or go well together. A spin stealing stamina type with rubber would go well along with a Rubber Bearing. The rubber would lessen it's stamina, but not that much because of the bearings, and make it harder to KO without affecting it's endurance too much. Also both the Geist Fafnir and Bearing Core 2 Driver (maybe called Sting, fitting the friction and the Avatar) would have stamina oriented rubber parts.
