Kerbeus Heavy Accel
This combo had been tested briefly in 1234beyblade's Valkyrie/Spriggan/Ragnaruk/Kerbeous Heavy Accel Testing thread, though after usage from @[Kei] at Beyblade Bursts Onto the Scene: Toronto and testings of my own, I felt as this deserved its own. With that, this is Kerbeus Heavy Accel.
Concept

Kerbeus Heavy Accel is a mobile Defender. It can generally take KO's from Strikers, KO Strikers themselves, burst Strikers and outspin them as well.

KERBEUS
Put aside Deathscyther's which I'm still a bit unsure about, Kerbeus seems to have the best defense out of the four initial released layers.
HEAVY
The heaviest Disk in the game so far.
ACCEL
Accel has a very important attribute which plays a key role in the combo, which also adds versatility when it comes to winning a match. Momentum. Unlike Defense which should generally only win by spin finish, Accel, however, can win matches by over finish, burst finish and still spin finish.
With more momentum than Kerbeus Heavy Defense, I found it to be less prone to being Over Finished by attack combos. Using Defense as a Driver, it would be easier for Strikers to get hits off of Defense in the beginning of a match, rather it would need to catch up to Kerbeus Heavy Accel and even with contact not enough smash left to KO.

Even though we only have four sets of tests, I really only did find Strikers being worth testing against as it's what Kerbeus Heavy Accel is solely meant to counter.

Conclusions
Overall, Kerbeus Heavy Accel seems to be a very impressive, versatile option as a Defender. Put aside Accel unlike Defense having LAD and generally a more guaranteed chance of out-spinning attack, I do feel as Kerbeus Heavy Accel still has the upper-hand over Kerbeus Heavy Defense.
