Sara S'mores S2 Spread Bearing

**Sara S'mores S2 Spread Bearing** is a Stamina Type Energy Layer released as part of the Dual Layer System.

## Energy Layer - Sara S'mores S2

A round and slim Energy Layer that features an overall elliptical design and features a gimmick; the Layer can be set in two different modes, Smash Mode and Upper Mode.
In Smash Mode, the primary point of contact is a downward slope, meant for Force Smash. While the intended Force Smash can occur, the effect is inconsistent and is liable to Destabilizing the Sara S'mores S2 Combination instead of the opponent.
In Upper Mode, the primary point of contact is an upward slope, meant for Upper Force. In theory the Upper Force will "lift" the Beyblade off of the Stadium and decrease friction between the Performance Tip and the stadium floor to improve Stamina. In practice however, the blades instead create air resistance when spinning and slow the Beyblade down, an issue that becomes exacerbated the harder Sara S'mores S2 is launched. Of the two modes, Upper Mode has greater success.

## Forge Disc - Spread

**Spread** is a completely circular Forge Disc, featuring a smooth perimeter and underside only interrupted by four small bumps located beneath the prongs, as well as several stylized blade designs on top. As with all Forge Discs, the letter representing the Forge Disc, in this case, S, is present on top of the prongs that fit into the Energy Layer. **Spread** has a significant amount of Outward Weight Distribution (OWD), and a relatively thin and aerodynamic shape, making it a viable choice for Stamina Combinations. Depending on which Performance Tip is used, **Spread** can also provide the combo with some Life-After-Death as it will roll along the stadium floor and give the Combination a few extra rotations after falling over, which can be crucial for Out Spinning an opponent.

## Performance Tip - Bearing

**Bearing** features a free spinning, low angled cone tip composed of **P**oly**O**xy**M**ethylene (POM) plastic and supported by ball bearings, akin to a mix between Yielding and Bearing Drive from Metal Fight Beyblade.

The POM plastic reduces friction between the stadium floor and the tip while the ball bearings reduces friction between the tip and the shaft, features that grant **Bearing** the highest Stamina potential in the game. Furthermore the bearing supported free-spinning shaft resists roaming if a **Bearing** Combination is off balance or low on spin, helping a Combination remain in the center as much as possible. Additionally, because of how small the tip of **Bearing** is, combined with the wideness of the cone, the Combination will often be off balance, even when it has a lot of Stamina left. This can actually create Disc-to-Layer contact.

However, the Takara Tomy release of **Bearing** features two critical weaknesses. The first is the poor Knock-Out Resistance caused by the POM tip; since there is so little friction between the tip and stadium floor, **Bearing** Combinations are highly susceptible to Knock-Outs. The second and more important is the poor Burst Resistance; while low friction and free-spinning tips normally increase a Combination's Burst Resistance, **Bearing**'s spring lock is noticeable much weaker than any other Performance Tip, making **Bearing** Combinations the easiest to Burst in the game. In this one, Bearing is scented by S’mores Polish-It.
