However, the gimmick means that the tip is unfixed and is capable of tilting somewhat which creates poor Stability. In theory the tip is meant to prevent harsh impacts against the stadium floor from launch, preventing accidental Self-Knock-Outs from bouncing. Nothing features a low angled, spring loaded cone shaped tip. Performance Tip - Nothing Main article: Performance Tip - Nothing Furthermore, 8 is one of the heaviest Discs in the game, heavier than Heavy, Gravity, 2, 4, and 6 and its use can bolster a Beyblade's Knock-Out Resistance and Attack potential. However, like other heavy discs with high Outward Weight Distribution (OWD) such as Gravity and Ring, the use of 8 severely decreases a Beyblade's Burst Resistance as a trade off. Each of the lower loops of the "8"s features gaps, akin to Knuckle, which takes weight away from the center and creates high Outward Weight Distribution (OWD) and subsequent Flywheel Effect, features theoretically perfect for Stamina. Each side features four protrusions, each molded into the shape of an "8". However, due to the low amount of exposed rubber, Drain Fafnir struggles to Spin-Equalize against Layers with smooth, round designs such as Blaze Ragnaruk and Maximum Garuda.įorge Disc - 8 Main article: Forge Disc - 8Ĩ, like other even numbered Core Discs, is symmetrical and elliptical in shape in order to facilitate a Disc Frame. However, if Drain Fafnir has less Burst Resistance than the left-spin opponent, the friction of the rubber "F"s can cause a Drain Fafnir combination to Self-Burst. When against a left-spin opponent, Drain Fafnir cannot Spin-Equalize in these matchups the clear plastic "horn" of each dragon head receives the initial impact and the friction of the rubber "F"s act as brakes, stopping the opposing Layer and potentially Bursting them. When spinning slower than a right-spin opponent, the rubber "F"s, "horns" and round shape of Drain Fafnir allows for Spin-Equalization, where the Layers of two opposite spinning Beyblades work akin to gears, increasing friction and equally distribute their spin.


Even when against a left-spin opponent, the protrusions are too stubby to cause any noticeable recoil and Stamina loss. While the rough perimeter of Drain Fafnir may imply recoil, the left-spin nature of this Layer reduces recoil against a right-spin opponent. As part of the God Layer System, Drain Fafnir features a gimmick: the rubber "F"s aid in the ability to Spin-Equalize with a right-spin opponent. Drain Fafnir features three teeth of medium-high length, akin to those found on Lost Longinus. These molding details give Drain Fafnir a rough perimeter and a high Outward Weight Distribution (OWD) by concentrating the weight along the perimeter. These dragon heads have clear plastic "horns" and rubber "F"s that sticks out slightly at two points along the perimeter. Takara Tomy's Drain Fafnir is a round left-spin Stamina Type God Layer that features three dragon heads meant to represent this Layer's namesake: Fafnir, a dragon from Norse mythology.
