**Accel** (アクセル|Akuseru) is a Performance Tip released by Takara Tomy and Hasbro as part of the Burst System. It debuted in Japan with the release of the B-01 DX Starter Valkyrie Wing Accel on July 18th, 2015. It later debuted in western countries with the release of the Valtryek & Unicrest Dual Pack.

## Description

**Accel** features a plastic flat tip with a small diameter and sits at the standard height. The center of the Driver also contains an embossed logo featuring a stylized letter A for easy differentiation from other Drivers. Due to the surface area, **Accel** will create an aggressive, and if launched at an angle, somewhat easily controllable movement pattern. In terms of speed, **Accel** is faster than Blow but is slower than Xtreme, capable of reaching and stalling on the Tornado Ridge. Due to the plastic construction, **Accel** is an excellent choice for both Mobile Stamina and Attack/Stamina Balance Combinations. Furthermore, the solid construction also ensures that **Accel** will not wear out like other Drivers such as Xtreme nor be damaged like Zephyr.

However, **Accel**'s plastic construction is also a weakness as Attack Combinations using **Accel** can lose their Banking Pattern somewhat easily, especially if the Combinations are unbalanced. Furthermore, the low friction means that **Accel** is liable to Self-Knock-Outs.

## Use in Attack Combinations

**Accel** can be used in the Attack Combination Cho-Z Valkyrie/Cho-Z Achilles/Winning Valkyrie 0/00/10/8/7 Bump/Turn/Meteor **Accel**. The heavy weight of 0/00/10/8/7 Bump/Turn/Meteor bolsters the Attack potential of Cho-Z Valkyrie/Cho-Z Achilles/Winning Valkyrie while the Layer's weight, strong teeth and gimmick compensates for the Burst risk. If one struggles to control rubber Drivers at the spin speeds needed to activate Cho-Z Valkyrie/Cho-Z Achilles' gimmick, then **Accel** can be used instead with the combination's high spin speeds compensating for the slower movement.

## Overall

Takara Tomy's **Accel** was once one of the best Drivers for Mobile Stamina Combinations, but due to the introduction of left-spin Beyblades in the Burst System, Mobile Stamina Combinations are no longer useful for competitive play. Hasbro's **Accel** is rounded, creating speeds akin to Blow, struggling to reach the Tornado Ridge and settling into the center much more quickly.

**As such, Accel is recommended for collection purposes only.**
