Alright, I did the retests. Now that I got a Sieg Xcalibur and Twin Nemesis Layer, I could test Spriggan Requiem against those as well. And rules for the retests are the same as the last tests.
Spriggan Requiem Testing/Discussion (New) (Updated)
The New Spriggan Requiem has been an highly anticipated release. It comes with three god abilities and these abilities include rubber for spin stealing, the ability to spin both left and right and has a Metal God Chip in its center. With it having the ability to spin both left and right, Spriggan Requiem can not only spin steal while rotating to the left like Drain Fafnir, it can also spin-steal while rotating to the right, of course this only works on left-spin beys.
Equipment:
- LR Beylauncher + Grip for both beyblades being launched
- Standard Beystadium
Rules:
- 10 matches and results will be based on how many matches they won

Sr win rate - 30%
Spriggan Requiem, like last time didn't do that well against Drain Fafnir and never bursted it once. Drain Fafnir won all of its battles in a battle of endurance. The only way Spriggan Requiem won was because it got a few ring outs on Drain Fafnir and Spriggan Requiem didn't get much clicks onto Drain Fafnir. The rubber didn't have much effect on outlasting Fafnir.

This is the round that gave Spriggan Requiems spin stealing abilities a time to shine and it shined pretty well. The rubber this time gave Spriggan Requiem a good amount of wins, the way Spriggan Requiem performed was way better than last time and aside from that Spriggan performed very similarly to Drain Fafnir in terms of endurance battles. Spriggan Requiem outlasted Alter Chronos in most of its matches, Most times Spriggan Won and other times Alter Chronos won.

This time Spriggan Requiem did much better than the last test in terms of this matchup, Legend Spriggan didn't burst Spriggan Requiem at all this time and the only way Legend Spriggan won was by a few ring outs. Spriggan Requiem outlasted Legend Spriggan several times and some of this was thanks to the rubber. The last test was for this matchup was mainly decided on luck which Legend Spriggan got and Spriggan Requiem didn't really have that much luck.

This battle was the most interesting. They were equal to each other in terms of Stamina, Spin Stealing and Defense. Drain Fafnir won its battles the same way Spriggan Requiem did, by spin stealing and winning some battles of endurance.
Spriggan Requiem 4Glaive Atomic (Right Spin) vs. Legend Spriggan 7Star Xtreme (Right Spin)
Sr.4G.At (6/10)
lS.7S.X (4/10)
Sr win rate - 60%
Spriggan Requiems defensive side is decent and compared to Alter Chronos, Spriggan Requiem isn't as good as Alter Chronos but still does decent. It's downfall comes from the rubber when it faces other right spin beys, the rubber interferes because the rubbers main purpose is to steal spin from other beys and absorb their hits and stamina. When the rubber on the bey is not spining the opposite way that the other bey spins, the rubber thats supposed steal spin won't take any effect. Spriggan Requiem won most of its matches when a battle of endurance starts and got one lucky ring out on Legend Spriggan. Legend Spriggan on the other hand won its matches by mainly ring outs on Spriggan Requiem.
Spriggan Requiem 4Glaive Atomic (Left Spin) vs. Nightmare Longinus Glaive Xtreme
Sr.4G.At (7/10)
nLG.X (3/10)
Sr win rate - 70%
Spriggan Requiem did well against Nightmare Longinus and Spriggan bursted Longinus twice and the rest of the ways Spriggan Won were because of endurance battles. Even without the rubber taking any effect Spriggan Requiem performed pretty well and the only ways it lost were because of a couple ring out finishes Nightmare Longinus pulled off. Spriggan Requiems performance is very similar to Drain Fafnir but the only Difference is the teeth tightness.
Spriggan Requiem 4Glaive Atomic (Right Spin) vs. Alter Chronos 4Glaive Atomic

This battle was very interesting. Their defensive skills are very identical and each pulled off their victories by battles of endurance, some rounds Spriggan Requiem won and other rounds Alter Chronos won. The battle mostly came down to the one with the most powerful spin.
All in all I think that Spriggan Requiem is a great alternative to Drain Fafnir and is very good at handling most Stationary Attack Type combos, some Defensive combos, some Stamina combos and most KO attack combos. It's tight teeth and many god abilities gave Spriggan an amazing upgrade. Spriggan Requiem did way better than the last tests.
