About This Part
Kerbeus is Hasbro's version of the three-headed-dog Layer for the Burst System, first sold in western markets as part of the Horusood and Kerbeus Dual Pack. It keeps the same round, chain-linked mould as the Takara Tomy original but was recast with a different weight balance to push its spin time higher.
In Play
That reworked weight made it a leading choice for pure-stamina builds in the western scene even while its Burst resistance stayed behind other releases, though the later Drain Fafnir F3 and the rest of the SwitchStrike and God Layer Systems left it too light to compete; the community calls it a worthwhile pickup for a collection rather than a tournament must-have.
- Debuted in western countries packaged in the Horusood and Kerbeus Dual Pack.
The Competitive View
Its rim's uneven protrusions grind unfavorably against opponents rather than in its favor, causing Outspin losses, though its circular shape gives decent stamina/defense and it was historically hard to burst.
Verdict as the draft gives it: The go-to early Defense/Stamina layer of the Burst generation, since outclassed by later layers like Odin; now recommended only if better options aren't available.
- Weight: 8.0 grams
- 16 rim protrusions (half larger, half smaller)
- Products: Kerbeus Central Defense (B-04), Kerbeus Wing Fusion (B-08), Kerbeus Spread Accel and Kerbeus Heavy Survive (B-15 Random Booster Vol. 1), Kerbeus (BG-01)
- Fourth Energy Layer released in the Burst generation
