Parts in detail
Light Yellow colorway in the Dark Series subline, released in Japan as a Bakuten Shoot Beyblade G-Revolution soundtrack (OST) exclusive rather than through Random Booster 8. Shares Attack Ring, Spin Gear, Support Part, and Blade Base tooling with the rest of the Dark Series.
| Slot | Part | Weight | Spin | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Attack Ring | Dark Wing (Core AR) | 4.9 (6.4 total with Sub AR) g | Right (Left Spin not viable) | Thick, slightly over-angled contact points give Dark Wing strong hitting power but heavy rotational recoil even by Hyper Aggro standards, so it leans on a Heavy Metal Core against sturdier opponents and still tires faster than the very best Smash options. It does get a small edge against Circle Survivor Defense thanks to how high its contact points sit, though shorter opponents give it more trouble. |
| Sub Attack Ring | Dark Wing Sub AR | 1.5 g | One of only two three-sided Sub Attack Rings ever made (Ark Pyramid Sub AR is the other). Its main use outside its own Attack Ring is on three-sided setups riding SG Wing Base, but that combination is outclassed by the Blade Base's own poor LAD, and Ark Pyramid Sub AR is usually the better three-sided choice there anyway. | |
| Weight Disk | Ten Wide | 14.0 (Takara/Hasbro) / 14.3 (SonoKong G-Blade) g | A moderately light Weight Disk with an outward mass bias, though less extreme than Wide Defense or Wide Survivor, which costs it some spin-stealing and survival performance. | |
| Spin Gear | Neo Right Spin Gear Shells | 1.15 ea (2.3 total) g | Right | Neo-pattern shells are favored over regular Right shells because they fit every Spin-Gear-compatible Blade Base and unlock Neo-only cores, including the Heavy Metal Core — a must for Compacts, Weight Based Defense, Force Smash, Traditional Upper Attack, and Driger V2 builds. |
| Spin Gear | Metal Weight Core | 2.5 g | Packs a small metal cylinder for added mass but weighs a touch less than a Magnecore, so it rarely stands out as the clear best choice for Attack builds — though the weight gap to its alternatives is small enough that it's rarely a bad one either. | |
| Support Part | Survivor Ring | 2.9 g | Both (behaves differently by direction) | A round single-piece Support Part whose three small fins add mild attack in Right Spin without the heavy recoil that ruins most aggressive Support Parts, while behaving more defensively when spun Left; its extra rim mass also boosts flywheel effect. It pairs especially well with three-sided Attack Rings like Triple Tiger, where the fins' contact points line up cleanly. |
| Blade Base | Customize Sharp Base | 5.8 g | A tall, sharp-tipped, Support-Part-compatible Base whose edge-focused weight gaps echo Metal Sting Base but don't meaningfully help it; the base is simply too unstable to hold up in play. |
Weights are single copies weighed on their own; a part can vary by a few tenths of a gram.
In play and in the story
The community likens the Survivor Ring's performance to the Twin Guard piece found on Blizzard Orthrus' SG Bolt Base, since both single-piece rings favour Stamina while adding a touch of attack from their small fins.
