Layer: Valkyrie

Motif: Warrior Valkyrie
Point: 3 Heavy Attack Blades that boost Impact against opponents Beyblade. Chance of Burst Finish is higher! The Poly-carbonate Structure is strong against Impact.

Weight: 7.99 grams

The Valkyrie Layer has an approximate Span Diameter of 45.2mm (4.5cm) 

Under part of the Layer is an equally spread balance ring of PVC plastic. Held to the PC Outer Layer by three screws on each of the 3 Blades. Locking Tabs in the center area is Standard. *Do note that Locking Tabs wear out over time, so do check the Lock Tabs condition prior to any BeyBattle to avoid Sudden Burst Finishes!*


Valkyrie is a very consistent Layer  to use for Attack Bey setups as it has an Equilateral Triangular shape and also an Attack and Parry System. The Red portion is the Attack Blades. Functions as a singular impact hammer when in contact with an opponents Beyblade. The Green portion is the Parry fins. Its sloped in an angle and pointed outwards. This design functions as a defense shield to Bounce off any direct Attacks.

Disk: Wing

Motif: Wings


Weight: 19.35 grams


Diameter: 39mm (3.9cm)
Wing is a Bladed weight disk that has 4 Wings and 2 heavier weight points.
Note the 'W' initials marked on the weight points.


The Wings are slightly angled and this design gives it Upper Force Attack properties . Though the effectiveness of such a gimmick seems redundant as the Disk is hidden under the Valkyrie Layer. Probably the effect of assisting in Attacks from low angles is possible when the Bey is circling in the outer higher level.

Driver: Accel

The Driver is a singular unit that consist of the Burst Module, the Height Unit and the Bottom Unit. Accel is basically a H145F. Which is a Height 145 and a Flat Bottom combination in the previous Metalfight Series. The new thing is the Burst Module which is 'Tamper Proof' (Does not have screws). This Module is a spring loaded lock system which keeps your Beyblade Layer and Disk together. In short, Lock comes loose, You Lose.

The Driver Bottom (Left) is similar to the Previous Flat (F) Bottom Unit (Right) and have pretty much the same properties. But that being said, if the Bottom is wear out overtime or in battle, you would need to replace the Whole Driver Unit.


Weight: 5.64 grams

Putting your Bey together.
With the new Burst Module in this new Bey, putting the Bey together might seem a little tricky at first. Here's how to do it.

First, align the Driver Tabs parallel to the Disk Fixtures as the Image.

If done correctly, the Disk should be able to be pressed down into the Driver Burst Module Unit.

This step is slightly difficult, align the Driver support tab (The white ring with a line on it, marked Red here) And also the Layer center tabs like the Image shown.

Push down the Layer onto the Driver, pressing down the Disk. Once in place turn the Layer to the Right and a Click should be felt. Turn right until you see the Metal Tab on the Disk in the 3 position. 

The Bey is Ready.

Performance: Normal Attack Stadium
Using a Black Standard BeyStadium for this demo for easy visualization purpose only. (Please use proper Battle BeyStadium for Burst series during BeyBattles to avoid any injury!)

Launched at a Parallel angle to the Ground, the Valkyrie Wing Accel moves relatively fast in the Outer ring of the BeyStadium, circling lower as it loses its revolution ratio.


Near the Center, the Bey concentrates in small circles in a 'Flower' pattern before it loses it force and stops. TIP: To start with a 'Flower' attack pattern, shoot at an angle Parallel to the BeyStadium Surface.

BeyBattle Trials: Valkrie Wing Accel vs. Valkrie Wing Accel

Trial #1: 

Both launched at the same time Parallel to the Ground. After circling for one round, The Blue Valkyrie caught up with the Red and with a Strong Impact send it Stadium Out!

Trial #2: 

Both were launched at an angle Parallel to the BeyStadium. Impact started in the center of the BeyStadium and several Impacts were made. At the 4th Impact, The Red Valkyrie Burst Finish the Blue Valkrie! Super fast battle due to the overwhelming Attack Power of the Valkyrie Layer!

Summary:

B-01 Valkyrie Wing Accel is a high Attack Beyblade with a relatively constant Burst capability due to its strong Impact Attacks. Possibility of Self Stadium Out is quite High. Bladers will need to master the Launching Technique to take full advantage of this Powerful Bey! A easy 10/10 Must have for Attack Type BeyBladers~
