Top Beyblade Burst Reviews
1. Takara Tomy Beyblade Burst B 149-GT
The Beyblade burst B-149 GT triple booster is a newly launched set that comes with three Beyblades. This set contains the Slash Dragon, Lord Spriggan, and the Dead Bahamut.
It is a cost-effective package that lets you add three amazing Beyblade burst tops to your collection. The reason for us to rank this as the best Beyblade burst is because one of the three drivers in this pack is the Octa driver. This driver is a specialty that Hasbro sold separately up until now. Even the Lord Spriggan is a pretty rare and awesome type of Bey that you get along with this pack.
With this one in your grip, you will not have to fish for left or right spinning Beys. This set has it all. The Slash Dragon spins right, the Dead Bahamut is a left spinning Beyblade, and the Lord Spriggan can spin both ways (you have to shift gears though).
So, if you want your Beyblade to be the last-one-spinning in the Bey stadium, then this pack is a must.
Features:
- Triple booster set contains three Beyblades- Slash Dragon, Lord Spriggan and Dead Bahamut
- The set includes all three types of Beyblades- Attack, defense, and stamina

2. Takara Tomy Beyblade Burst GT B-153
In the second position, we have another value for money Beyblade set waiting for you to grab it. In the GT B-153 set, you get four Beyblades.
- Eraise Fafnir
- Cosmo Dragon
- Prime Apocalypse
- Regalia genesis
While we have seen the first two Beys in several other sets, the latter two are relatively new additions by Takara Tommy. The Prime Apocalypse and Regalia genesis feature the ‘Infinite lock system,’ which means it will be super tough for your opponent to burst your Beys to score points.
The hybrid driver is battery powered, so these are pretty strong and will pose a mighty challenge to your rival in the Beystadium. However, changing batteries of the hybrid driver can be a bit tricky, although an instruction manual is given in the package.

The Cho-Z Achilles is a balance type Bey that can stand even against the toughest Regalia genesis. It has a red body, and you can launch it in any direction with the LR launcher it comes with.

6. Takara Tomy Beyblade Burst B-150
You will absolutely love the union Achilles Beyblade burst if you are a fan of customizability. This Bey has two modes for different types of Beyblade battle strategies. With this one in your collection, you can be the king/queen of versatile Beyblade battling strategies.
There is a cool union sword base. When you keep the base on, the Bey is in the attack mode/power mode. This should be your go-to mode if you are targetting a burst finish, as it gives the top a great deal of attacking abilities. If you remove the union sword base, the top becomes lighter, and this is what the manufacturers call the speed mode. This is better if you are aiming for a survivor finish.
It is one of the best Beyblade burst of all time. Although there are way more powerful Beys than this, we can put our finger to only two lacunas. First, the union Achilles does not come with a launcher. Second, it rotates only in the right direction. Which is different from most of the products listed above, which rotates both ways.
Features:
- Balance type Beyblade
- Rotates rightward
- Weight is 4.2 ounces
- Package includes- 1 energy layer, 1 union base, 1 forge disc, 1 driver, stickers and instruction manual

7. Takara Tomy B-97 Beyblade Burst
All the lovers of Beyblade burst who do not like complicated assembling will certainly hail the Nightmare Longinus in their collection. This Bey consists of only two parts— the energy layer and the driver. Yes, this one does NOT have a forged disc!
It is a pretty wide Bey with four dragon head wings to maximize its attack. However, we think it to be the sixth-best Beyblade burst because it has compatibility issues. The driver and the energy layer aren’t compatible with other products of the burst range. Also, the launcher that comes with this package isn’t the best.
However, if you are looking for one of the best attack type Beyblade bursts, then you can’t walk past the Nightmare Longinus!
Features:
- Attack type Beyblade
- Left-ward spinning type
- Weighs 4.2 ounces
- The package includes- 1 energy layer, 1 driver, stickers and a launcher
Pros:
- Uncomplicated to assemble
- Four dragonheads do ample damage
- Wide diameter maximizes the probability of contact with the other Beyblade burst top
Cons:
- Parts are not compatible with other Beyblade tops
- The launcher is not up to the mark
8. Takara Tomy B-127 Beyblade
The Cho-z Valkyrie is an upgrade on the fearsome Winning Valkyrie. It is an attack-type Beyblade burst that you can’t ignore if you want to be the victor in Beyblade burst battles. It is perhaps one of the most unburstable Beys you have ever seen.
This top has the Cho-z Valkyrie layer, the Zenith disc, and the evolution driver. If you launch this top real hard, then you rip open the ‘invincible mode.’ In this mode, the orange rubber wings pop out, and the Bey becomes super tough to burst.
Features:
- Attacker type Beyblade burst

But you will have to be a minimum of 13 years old as per the age requirement given by the manufacturer.
The energy layer in red is kind of cool. This Bey does not come with a lot of stickers, which might upset some kids out there. You get the forged disc 11 and extend driver. As the name of the driver suggests, you can actually extend and collapse the height of it as per your battle requirements.

10. Takara Tomy B-110 Beyblade

Things to Consider While Buying the Best Beyblade Burst Toy:
If you are looking for the best Bey in 2020, then you have reached the right place. In this section, we will discuss the factors that you need to keep in mind while choosing a Bey toy. Let us have a look:
1. Understand your Beyblade Burst
The Beyblade burst includes three main parts; –
- The energy layer– this is the topmost disc of the Beyblade. It has wings that are used to attack other Beys.
- The Forge Disc– this is the middle part of a Beyblade burst top. It is this part that decides the effects and balance of a Beyblade. In a striker, the forged disc is distinctively lighter than that of a defender type Bey. So, we can say that this part decides the weight of a Beyblade burst significantly.
- The Driver/Performance Tip– This is the lowermost part of the Beyblade. The driver decides the movement pattern of a Beyblade burst and the height. These drivers work mostly without batteries. But a few of the latest ones such as the hybrid driver operates on batteries
2. Type of Beyblade Burst
You can select from four different Beyblade burst type:
- The Attack Type– This type of Beyblade burst tops spins around quickly and deals maximum damage to other Beys. These are generally lightweight with several points of contact. It also has a flat tip, which lets it maintain the maximum point of contact with the Bey-stadium.
- The Defend Type– It is also called the defender. These Bey tops do not swivel around as smoothly as the former type. The defender is heavier than the striker and can take a lot of hits.
- The Stamina Type– This type of Beyblade is also called the endurance type. If you want your top to spin for the maximum duration to achieve a victory, then this is your go-to option.
- The Balance Type– This is the ‘’jack of all trades, master of none’’ version of Beyblade. This Bey combines a bit of all the above three types. Hence, in matches, this one can either give you a terrific advantage or can lead you out of the stadium sooner than you realize.
3. Game Type
There are several games you can play with a Beyblade. If you are targetting to win as a survivor, then you should choose the defender or the stamina type Beyblade burst. If you want a ring-out victory in a particular game, then the attacker/striker Beyblade burst will work wonder in your favor. And if you aim to score two or more points by bursting open opponent’s top, then a Beyblade that is semi unburstable, preferably with an infinite locker system, is the best thing to settle for.
In most of these games, customizing your Beyblade burst is permissible. However, in the case of a Beyblade burst Tournament, you will have to use a top as it is.
