Greatest Raphael has its Blade, Core, and Armor combined, only High mode, the gimmick is like angel wings that go up to basically initiate Burst lock and probably have more defense, Xtend+ has Dash spring but High, and the Disk is Over. Rashad has finally attained God-complex for his Bey, which is no longer a sad copy of Savior Valkyrie.
Honestly I like the new bey I’m seeing it being solid but I’m not expecting it to extremely dominant, but we don’t know much and haven’t tested it so everything is not definitive, I do however like how stupid tt has gotten with some DB bey gimmicks that would make plastic series sweat

A balanced type right-handed bay that excels in offense, defense, and stamina, where the armor transforms dramatically in the latter half of the battle! The first half of the battle is an 8-blade attack mode! After that, when the armor rises and transforms into a dome shape, it becomes a 0-blade defense mode and any attack is pardoned!
The gimmick looks so funny lol. But you got to give to tt even if the gimmick don't work properly thats an unique gimmick though Just how like Variant lucifer had its rubber barrier.

Reliability is also an unknown, as we don't know thew details of its activation yet either.
How are you coming to these conclusions again?
Ah, by beartrap gimmick I thought the thing would like, activate like a real one.
Wait, that's the gimmick isn't it?
It's still not the most evident how it activates, and even so that's not enough to gauge performance.
Ngl, it feels like the layer's kinda lacking in detail. It's just the chip and the stickers on the side.

Yeah, I was kinda doubtful because Beys with crazy gimmicks (take LTE for example) usually perform weird stock.

The difference here is we already know Over and Xtend+ are good, and that's 2/3 of the combo. This layer is the only thing that can ruin the combo.

My only main issue was the layer itself, but that's pretty much it. Over and HXt+' are powerful parts.

I'm myself not worry too much about the layer, since the activation depend how hard you launch, meaning you can control the activation

I would say this is only partly true and that you might need some luck, but for the most part the launch is important

Ah, cool.
Mentioning this here from the Hasbro thread, but a listing for Ultimate Evo Valtryek V7 has popped up, so it may very well be an upcoming release from TT for another Valkyrie evolution, however I wouldn't say it's 100% quite yet since listings can change, but it seems pretty likely that there's another Valkyrie coming in the future.

Ultimate valkyrie huh TT is really milking the Valkyrie line. i honestly don't really like to see another valkyrie spriggan or Longinus and fafnir instead of a new motif or evo like an Xcalibur evo but it is what it is
Savior Valkyrie was an underwhelming release just by its stock so hopefully this new Valkyrie will be better.

Question, do we know what Hasbro's Saviour Valkyrie looks like? I wouldn't be surprised if their "Ultimate Valkyrie" is just a Saviour Valkyrie with the rubber tabs gone (which will most likely be plastic on the normal bey)
Edit: Ultimate Valkyrie could also just be a rename/reskin for Rashad's Valkyrie

It's called Ultimate EVO Valtryek not Ultimate Valtryek so that crosses out the awakening you said and the Rashad recolor it wouldn't make any sense to rename like that.
All Hasbro beys that have been recent have been made to the perma fused state so whatever they may be that is what they are, ex:triumph dragon being perma "bound".
Not really a fan of Valkyrie having a high chance of an evo. If this is the last of burst or the last Valkyrie to appear an the anime than its ok, but if theirs another season & Valkyrie is still around than it should've been use for next season other beys needs and derseve that evo, i'm not expecring a new motif like others knowing how the anime has lest lenght plus the number of characters to appear are pretty their. Ever since gt the number of characters has been 13 or 10. Gt & sparking had 13 while db has 10 but they way db is their most likely not going to add anyone else at least not new theyll ended like wakiya an sparking. But i'm intrigue if Valkyrie will be one piece (all pun intended lol) or 3 piece with the blade, chip and armor.
I am nearly 100% sure that Valkryie is the December release. Pain will be in the anime in November, that can imply that Pheonix is the final boss as there has been a recurring pattern since GT. It's possible that Pain breaks Valkryie.
But I digress, I cannot say that I am happy that Valkryie will get yet another upgrade. I was hoping that we got it in December. Anyways, I hope it may be in one of the boosters which are coming in the future months.

I dont think pain will be antagonist, since we clearly know Rashad is the Antagonist even in the new Opening. Pain will probably just end up like Lodin etc.

Agreed, we have too much valkyrie right now. All we need is new bey with new motif currently only belial and raphael are new. Heck even i would prefer new Joker or Xcalibur over Valkyrie again since Valkyrie always get new bey every season
