Layer: Chaos (Rare)


Point: Defense Type Layer with 2 Symmetrical Blades design. 4 eyes are fixed between the two blades only 2 Attack points.


Weight: 7.86 grams


Approximate Maximum Contact Diameter: 48mm (4.8cm)


The Chaos Layer has an inclined edged circumference with reduces surface contact with opponents Bey Layer.


One tip of each blade is thicker the other end, this improves the spin balance of the Bey giving it a constant weight distribution. Low chance but serves as a Impact point to recoil Attack Types. 


The bottom of the Chaos Layer is a complete mass distributed PVC covering the whole bottom surface. The Layer also has a two point contact with the Poly-Carbonate Top Layer. The bottom PVC layer does not fill the whole top layer, thus the higher half of the Chaos Layer has a higher Recoil impact and the Lower has a higher Absorb impact.


For Blader whom are familiar with the MetalFight Series would have noticed that the Chaos Layer resembles the Earth Aquila H145WD, Earth Metal Wheel.


Besides having a slightly bigger gap in between the inclined blades and two thicker impact sections, the Chaos does keeps its uncanny resemblance to the High Defence/Stamina Earth Metal Wheel. 

Battle Trials: Chaos Heavy Survive

On a Standard Beystadium, the Chaos performed similar to its predecessor Earth Aquila H145WD. Holding a very difficult stand against the Attack Layers (Vaikyrie & Deathscyther). It appears that the Chaos Layer depletes the Spin Ratio of the Attack Layers almost instantly upon contact.
The Chaos Layer always take a Damage (Click once) and retains at a Two Life status. The Heavy Disk increases the Stability and Weight and the Survive Driver helps greatly to maintain the Balance of the Bey in general. 

Summary:

The BG-01 Random Layer Collection Vol.1 is a great addition to the list as the  much needed replacements for high wear Layers like Valkyrie will be easier to obtain. The Rare Chaos Layer is a Must Have for any Defense Bey Setup and also a 10/10 collectors must get.
