Beyblade Burst is the third (official) series of Beyblades. They are named for their unique ability to burst, where they can fall apart during battle. Each one is made up of an Energy Layer (The top part of the bey. This is the part that comes into contact with another Beyblade.), a Forge Disc (The middle part that is made of metal. It gives a Beyblade a majority of its weight.), and a Performance Tip (The bottom part of a bey. It is what causes it to move and changes its stamina.). Every Beyblade has a type: Attack (Pretty self-explanatory, it uses attacks to beat an opponent. It loses to defense and defeats stamina.), Defense (Also pretty self-explanatory, it defends attacks. It loses to stamina types and defeats attack types), Stamina (Stamina types typically have high stamina, which means they can spin for a long time. They usually lose to attack types and defeat defense types.), and Balance (My personal favorite, balance types are jacks-of-all-trades but masters of none. They have some skill in each area, so they have less skill at attacking than attack types but they have more stamina and defense than attack types, and etc.). In order to read a beyblades name, it starts with the name of the Layer, then the disc, then the frame if it has one, and then the performance tip. For example Valtryek V2 Vertical Accel would have the Valtryek V2 Layer, the Vertical Disc, and the Accel driver.

There have been four different systems of Beyblade Burst: the Single Layer System (which was the weakest of all four systems, but also the first), the Dual Layer System (a direct continuation of the Single Layer System with a slight difference in layer design), the God Layer System (Hasbro calls it Switchstrike. God Beyblades all have unique gimmicks. For example, God Valkyrie features three spring-loaded wings for a “Bound Attack”. Also, they replaced Forge Discs with Core Discs that can attach new frames) and the Chouzetsu or Super Z or Cho-Z Layer System (Hasbro calls them the Slingshock beyblades. They all have metal on the layer and are all much stronger than any of the previous systems.).

At this point, you pretty much only want a Cho-Z bey. Hasbro screwed up and removed the metal, so you probably don’t want Hasbro. Hell Salamander has a very strong layer but it’s Disc is extremely light and it’s Tip has very poor stamina and balance, so if you buy it you’ll need other beyblades.

What to buy for someone who likes Attack types (Click to View)

A strong attack combo is Cho-Z Valkyrie 0 Xtreme Dash, which is pretty easy to make. You just need to buy Cho-Z Valkyrie Zenith Evolution and Shadow Amaterios 0 Xtreme’ or Xtreme Dash. Dead Hades 11Turn Zephyr’ comes with a strong layer too, and a decent driver, but it comes in a Random Booster and unless you want to take a risk or spend a lot of money for it guranteed, you should stick with Cho-Z Valkyrie 0 Xtreme Dash.

What to buy for a Defense-type lover (Click to View)

A strong combination for Defense is Orb Egis 0Wall Atomic/Cho-Z Spriggan 0Wall Atomic. The reason I put two combinations is because both layers come in one pack. To create these combos you’d want to buy the Cho-Z Customize Set for the layers, disc and frame, and the Cho-Z Triple Booster Set for Atomic.

What to Buy for a Stamina Person (Click to View)

For Stamina you want Archer Hercules 10 Bearing. You can get the Layer and Disc from Archer Hercules 10Cross Accel’. The Driver comes in the Cho-Z Triple Booster Set, which also gives you Atomic for the defense type combo.

What to Buy for a Balance Type Lover (Click to View)

A good Balance Type is Hell Salamander 0Meteor Trans. You can get Hell Salamander from Hell Salamander 12 Operate. You can get 0 from Shadow Amaterios 0 Xtreme’ which also gives you Xtreme’ for your attack combo. Meteor and Trans both come from Alter Chronos 6Meteor Trans.

I hope you managed to read through and understand all that. If so, I hope I helped
