The spring acts as a sort of cushion that allows the layer to slow on impact instead of stopping suddenly. Like the crumple zone in a car. Spreads out the impact over a period of time. In theory this would lower burst damage because the layer still moves on impact.
Potentially Cyclone Valkyrie could have some good use because of this idea.
But we will have to see how the bound gimmick in the Valkyrie core works.
I'm pretty sure the bound gimmick is something that's in the layer itself, but only active when the Valkyrie core is used? I just don't see any way that they could have a gimmick on a core and have it still fit on other layers, especially because we've already seen the official pictures of Valkyrie's parts, and the Chip doesn't appear to have anything that would accommodate a gimmick.
Not seeing a way to do it doesn't mean it's impossible, only that you might be missing something. As I see it, it's rudimentary to add it to the core, and I can even see exactly how. I've seen the underside of the core and the spring inside, horizontal like God Valkyrie. Now, imagine that spring does just what God Valkyrie does, except instead if one piece of wings moving over top of the other you have the entire flat plate that attaches to the blade able to move while the teeth remain stationary. You get exactly what the official pictures claim, with any blade attached to the Valkyrie core being spring-loaded.
Now what do you think of the possibility?
