In between these two layers are four plastic golden blades. On the bottom is clear blue plastic and houses four red rubber contact points. The top layer is primarily white plastic and is what houses two metal blades on each side. Imperial is made up of several different layers of material. The Imperial Layer Base is the star of the show for me.

That said, some Layer Bases are designed in such a way to adjust the tightness of GT Chips used with them by raising their placement relative to the Driver they contact, as we will see in the review of Imperial below. Still, it’s worth experimenting with to get a feel for what works best for the combination you’re building. Teeth are associated with the bursting mechanism of the series, and in competitive play the frequency of bursting has reduced significantly over time, so the impact these GT Chips by themselves have on gameplay is somewhat minimal in top-tier combinations. Not to be confused with the original “Dragon” chip from Ace Dragon, this new GT Chip (abbreviated as “Dr” instead of “D”) has not only a cool new design on top, but a new teeth design on the bottom.ĭragon sports two larger inner teeth and two teeth with average thickness on the outside on both sides.

This isn’t to say there isn’t still some product durability problems with Beyblade Burst (looking at you Long BeyLauncher LR), or that there isn’t any issues competitively speaking, but for a series about to enter uncharted territory for the Beyblade brand with the recent confirmation of a new fifth season for 2020, it’s a good sign that the game is as reasonably fun and balanced as it ever has been.ī-154 DX Booster Imperial Dragon.Ig’ continues this trend with a nice balance of both competitive value and pure, inventive fun in the parts which make up the release. The next major milestones came in 2019 with the release of the Judgment and Zwei Layer Bases, which have impacted the game and made their way into the list of winning combinations for basically every WBO tournament this year. In particular, the release of the potent attack-type Driver Xtreme’ with Shadow Amaterios in the summer of 2018 was one of the first meaningful steps towards improving the competitive viability of attack types. The game itself ebbs and flows, but in general all of these things have been notably improved over time.
