Quote:[Hasbro Name], known as Guardian Kerbeus in Japan, is an Energy Layer released as part of the Burst System. It debuted with the release of the BG-06 Random Layer Collection Volume 6 on May 13(?), 2017

==Description==
Guardian Kerbeus is a Defense Type Energy Layer that features three dog heads along the perimeter, two from a downward profile and one from a side profile, akin to the Dragooon Metal Wheel from Zero-G Beyblade, meant to represent the Layer's namesake, the mythological three headed hound Cerberus. As part of the Evolution/God Layer System, Guardian Kerbeus features a gimmick; the chains connecting each head are made of a softer plastic, allowing them to push in to create "Bound Defense", akin to Jerk.

In theory the chains would cushion impact with the opponent and bolster Knock-Out and Burst resistance. In practice however, because the chains have hardly any flexibility at all, the gimmick fails to function as the impact is the same as if the chains were made of normal plastic. This, combined with the Japanese release's weak teeth, makes Guardian Kerbeus incredibly prone to Bursts.

Despite the high Burst risk, Guardian Kerbeus excels in Stamina combinations, capable of defeating other top-tier Stamina and Defense Energy Layers such as Drain Fafnir and Maximum Garuda in direct battles.

==Use in Stamina Combinations==
Guardian Kerbeus can be put to use in the Stamina combination Guardian Kerbeus Heavy/Gravity/2/4/5/7/8 Glaive/Cross Revolve/Orbit/Atomic. The high Stamina of Heavy/Gravity/2/4/5/7/8 Glaive/Cross synergizes with Guardian Kerbeus' own and Revolve/Orbit/Atomic further bolsters stamina through the free spinning parts. This combination is capable of outspinning almost any other Stamina/Defense combination, however, this combo is highly vulnerable against Attack combinations.

==Overall==
Despite its weak Burst resistance, Guardian Kerbeus boasts some of the greatest Stamina in the game and acts as a solid counter against other top-tier Layers such as Maximum Garuda. As such, this part is a must have for competitive bladers.

But is it just that or is other fact like shape, teeth, aerodynamic etc

Teeth have nothing to do with stamina. Its circular and aerodynamic  shape combined with outward weight distribution  make it excellent for stamina.

Are you sure its "Only" competetive with that? I'm pretty sure it's just better with that and not completely unusable

Here's the thing, you can't use other God Chips other than the stock or Metal God Chips in tournaments. gK meant for pure stamina which can out spin just about anything else, namely Maximum Garuda. It has success against other Beyblades with low recoil Layers so long as you avoid first contact when spin speeds are too high

that rule only applies to maximum garuda i have seen many tournament pics and also in 1234 beyblades testing vid that gK was being used with either an a mould god chip from another bey or the wbba ones

Does anyone know why that may be? Does anyone know of any other products that I could purchase that would provide me with a God chip that will save my gk from the never use bin? Please and ty

I have mine since release and it is absolutely fine, but I haven't broken any of my Burst beys yet, although I'm using them a lot.

The back of the box for the red version literally says the chains are supposed to move out to absorb hits. It says nothing about POM either.

They aren't POM. POM is hard smooth plastic, the plastic on gK is flexible and are meant to move outward slightly to absorb hits, it isn't made to slip attacks off.
