Shining Amaterios Aero'Angle Anchor (光アマテリオス・エアロダッシュアングル・アンカー, Shainingu Amateriosu Earo Dasshu Anguru Ankā), stylized as Shining αmaterios αero'αngle αnchor, is an Attack Type Beyblade released by Takara Tomy as part of the Burst System as well as the Cho-Z Layer System. It was released as a Rare Bey Get Battle Prize Booster in Japan on September 21st, 2018.
It is the successor to Amaterios Aero Assault and is succeeded by its alternate version, Shadow Amaterios 0 Xtreme'.
Energy Layer - Shining Amaterios
- Main article: Energy Layer - Shining Amaterios
Takara Tomy's Shining Amaterios (or Burning Amaterios) is an Attack Type Layer that features 2 sets of 5 alternating blades. Like its predecessor Shadow Amaterios, the center of the Layer features the Layer's namesake: Amaterasu, the goddess of the sun in Japanese mythology. As part of the Cho-Z Layer System, Shining Amaterios features metal in its design: 5 of its blades are lined with metal and have plastic components that can extend outwards to expand the Layer's attack range. The other set of 5 blades are static, featuring 2 plastic protrusions each. Compared to Shadow Amaterios, Shining Amaterios has smoother extendable plastic blades and is half a gram lighter. In theory, this creates a versatile Attack Type Layer, that has both continuous strikes and powerful strikes from the 5 metal-lined blades.
In reality, the shape of Shining Amaterios is poorly suited for Attack combinations, with the gaps between blades being too small. In addition, the extension gimmick rarely activates. Consequently, Shining Amaterios is best suited for Stamina combinations, as its shape works well in Same-Spin and Opposite-Spin Stamina matchups.
Like many other Cho-Z Layers, Shining Amaterios can increase weight and reduce Burst risk with the use of a Level Chip that fits underneath the Layer.
Forge Disc - Aero'
- Main article: Forge Disc - Aero'
Aero' is a Core Disc and remaster of the Aero Forge Disc. It is symmetrical and elliptical in shape in order to facilitate a Disc Frame. Despite its name, Aero' bears little resemblance to its predecessor. At about 16.7 grams, Aero' is very underweight compared to other Core Discs, and one of the lightest Forge Discs, only beaten by 12. Due to its light weight, Aero' is heavily outclassed by virtually all other Core Discs, which have since been replaced by other heavier Forge Discs.
Disc Frame - Angle
- Main article: Disc Frame - Angle
Angle is a triangular Disc Frame with small protrusions on its perimeter. Angle's shape grants it high Attack Potential when paired with Core Discs such as 7 and 00. However, Angle is notably lighter than other Attack Type Disc Frames such as Bump and Meteor, and is thus outclassed.
Despite being outclassed, Angle finds very specific usage with the Nightmare Longinus/Lúinor L3 Energy Layers. The Attack oriented shape of Angle not only compliments the Energy Layer, but also grants it greater Burst Resistance due to the way Angle sits on the Energy Layer.
Performance Tip - Anchor
- Main article: Performance Tip - Anchor
Anchor is an Attack Type Performance Tip that features a plastic flat tip with a rubber ring. The flat tip causes aggressive movement, similar to Accel. In theory, when a Anchor combination tilts, the jagged rubber parts touch the Stadium floor, increasing speed and aggression, and delivering stronger hits. In practice, due to the specific angles needed for the rubber to make contact with the Stadium floor, Anchor performs inconsistently and is difficult to control.
