My Chain Kerbeus .Fr.Yr'-6 arrived today! Actually, this was meant to be my spare Chain Kerbeus but oddly enough this came before the RBV29 full set I ordered.
It is a really cool looking bey IRL and it's good to get one last follow up of Kerbeus. As far as my first impressions of each new parts are, along with the weights I got:
Chain (14.86g) - Honestly, I don't think it's that good, which is a shame because it looks so nice. It's not terrible, but not really good either. The main problem is the heavy recoil from it, more specifically the top portion. When struck, it drains the stamina more than I thought it would. I thought the sheer weight would help, but it doesn't. The only saving grace, if you could call it, is the free moving chains sometimes lowering down other beys, but it doesn't happen often. I don't have HXt+' though, so perhaps I need that.
Kerbeus (8.19g) - Easily the best part of this purchase. It is incredibly tight, as expected, and it's pretty much right spin Bahamut. I read a few comments on Twitter a while back, that Kerbeus was looser than Bahamut, but I disagree, it is just as tight and actually a bit difficult to assemble. (Yes I tested it out with the same driver)
Fortress (31.06g) - Well this one is as expected, it's deceptively heavy. I seriously cannot get my head around that, especially now that I have it in my hands. It's heavy, but it doesn't look like it should be. The OWD feels quite good from what I can tell, and it seems to have stamina usage. Mind you, I don't have HXt+' as I've mentioned, so I can't get a proper opinion on it's stamina yet. Mine is 3 stars, if you're wondering.
Yard' (7.41g) - Yard' is Yard'. Yard as a driver sucks, and adding tighter locks isn't somehow going to fix it.
Overall it's really nice to have as a collector, and it's pretty fun to use, mainly because Chain's recoil can deliver some aggressive hits. Competitively, Kerbeus' core is kind of a no-brainer, and Fortress is promising, albeit not better than Giga, and presumably not better than Over, but still worth checking out. The stock bey is not as bad as I anticipated, but it still could've been better. I still like it for what it is.

No I don't plan on doing more yet.
I should probably go back to making fan custom Zero G beyblade concepts again
