![]() Helios wielding his sword left-handed is a reference to Hikaru being left-handed.The red portion on the waist references to the red core on the Helios Superking Chip.King Helios' avatar is an exact doppelganger of Super Hyperion's with alterations: blue armor, yellow neon lights, silver portions, cyan energy wings, an energy sword, and is left-handed.The "king" portion also ties to the fifth anime series' title "Superking".King Helios' name is a combination of the word "king", a male ruler of a large body of state, and Helios, the Greek god of the sun, and son of the titan of light Hyperion.Despite the intent of the contact points and its high Burst Resistance, King has little use in competitive play, although it can be used in niche Attack and Spin-Equalization Combinations. ![]() In addition, King has a thick underside that holds itself and the attached Superking Chip a bit higher than the Chassis, which exposes the teeth of the Chassis more, granting higher Burst Resistance. In practice, these two modes have a negligible effect on the performance of the Combination, although the five bladed mode applies more Weight Distribution to the larger blades of King, which causes a miniscule increase in the Attack potential of the combination. King is intended to be used with the 1B Chassis to facilitate its gimmick of changing between a five bladed mode for Attack and a ten bladed mode for Defense, depending on the orientation of the Ring in relation to the Chassis. In theory the larger blades are meant to perform an Upper Attack and the smaller blades are supposed to parry attacks, but in practice they are not very effective at either.Īs part of the Superking Layer System, King is compatible with any Left Spin or Dual Spin Superking Chip and Chassis. Finally, due to Zephyr's hollow construction, the Driver is liable to denting in the case of Disc-to-Driver contact after a Burst.King is a left-spin Balance Type Ring that features five prominent blades that are raised at the back and five smaller blades in between that are slightly angled, creating a shape with moderate recoil. Furthermore, the low friction means that Zephyr is liable to Self-Knock-Outs. However, Zephyr's plastic construction is also a weakness as Attack Combinations using Zephyr can lose their Banking Pattern somewhat easily, especially if the Combinations are unbalanced. Due to the plastic construction, Zephyr is an excellent choice for both Mobile Stamina and Attack/Stamina Balance Combinations. In terms of speed, Zephyr is comparable to Accel, capable of reaching and stalling on the Tornado Ridge. Due to the surface area, Zephyr will create an aggressive, and if launched at an angle, somewhat easily controllable movement pattern. The center of the Driver also contains an embossed logo featuring a stylized letter "Z" for easy differentiation from other Drivers. Compared to Accel, the diameter of Zephyr is slightly larger. Zephyr features a hollow plastic flat tip with a small diameter, akin to Hole Flat from Metal Fight Beyblade, and sits at the standard height. Performance Tip - Zephyr Main article: Performance Tip - Zephyr However, this same lightness severely reduced Knock-Out Defense and Stamina as a trade-off. Armed’s lightness gave it the greatest Burst Resistance of any Forge Disc at the time while the relatively smooth surface reduced recoil when struck if paired with a Performance Tip with poor Stability. ![]() While it has a bulky appearance implying a heavy weight, in reality it is actually very light due to how hollow it is. Neptune features one tall tooth, two medium sized teeth and one short tooth, which combined with its low recoil design makes it very hard to Burst.įorge Disc - Armed Main article: Forge Disc - ArmedĪrmed is a symmetrical Forge Disc with six round shield-like protrusions and engravings along with two bumps on either side that make room for the Forge Disc's slots. Furthermore, majority of the weight of Neptune is focused around the perimeter creating high Outward Weight Distribution (OWD) and Flywheel Effect giving Neptune high Stamina properties. The round shape and smooth sided blades create a low recoil design which deflects attacks, giving this Energy Layer high Defense potential. The center of the Energy Layer depicts its namesake Neptune, the sea god in Roman mythology. ![]() Takara Tomy's Neptune is a six-bladed Energy Layer with six smooth wave like blades.
