Drain Fafnir Polish Atomic

Template:Beyblade Combo Infobox
**Drain Fafnir Polish Atomic** is a Defense Type Beyblade Combo. It is used by BeybladeGeeks in their video entitled "Beyblade SPIN STEAL HACK: 0% to MAX POWER - Beyblade Burst Anime VS Real Life Drain Fafnir!"

## Energy Layer - Drain Fafnir

*Main article: Energy Layer - Drain Fafnir*
Takara Tomy's **Drain Fafnir** is a round left-spin Stamina Type God Layer that features three dragon heads meant to represent this Layer's namesake: Fafnir, a dragon from Norse mythology. These dragon heads have clear plastic "horns" and rubber "F"s that sticks out slightly at two points along the perimeter. Three claws grasp the center God Chip. These molding details give **Drain Fafnir** a rough perimeter and a high Outward Weight Distribution (OWD) by concentrating the weight along the perimeter. **Drain Fafnir** features three teeth of medium-high length, akin to those found on Lost Longinus. As part of the God Layer System, **Drain Fafnir** features a gimmick: the rubber "F"s aid in the ability to Spin-Equalize with a right-spin opponent.

While the rough perimeter of **Drain Fafnir** may imply recoil, the left-spin nature of this Layer reduces recoil against a right-spin opponent. Even when against a left-spin opponent, the protrusions are too stubby to cause any noticeable recoil and Stamina loss. When spinning slower than a right-spin opponent, the rubber "F"s, "horns" and round shape of **Drain Fafnir** allows for Spin-Equalization, where the Layers of two opposite spinning Beyblades work akin to gears, increasing friction and equally distribute their spin.

When against a left-spin opponent, **Drain Fafnir** cannot Spin-Equalize; in these matchups the clear plastic "horn" of each dragon head receives the initial impact and the friction of the rubber "F"s act as brakes, stopping the opposing Layer and potentially Bursting them. However, if **Drain Fafnir** has less Burst Resistance than the left-spin opponent, the friction of the rubber "F"s can cause a **Drain Fafnir** combination to Self-Burst.

However, due to the low amount of exposed rubber, **Drain Fafnir** struggles to Spin-Equalize against Layers with smooth, round designs such as Blaze Ragnaruk and Maximum Garuda.

## Forge Disc - Polish

*Main article: Forge Disc - Polish*
**Polish**, like Magnum and Jerk, is a Forge Disc made up of metal core and plastic perimeter with the letter, in this case "P", embossed onto the plastic on either side with the plastic making up the gimmick of the Disc.

For **Polish**'s gimmick, the plastic creates a "skirt" with a perfectly smooth and circular perimeter meant to, in theory, create high Life-After-Death so that a Stamina Combination can Out-Spin its opponent. In practice, the gimmick works as intended, however, a single factor restricts **Polish**'s performance in Stamina Combinations; the plastic construction.

Due to having a metal core and plastic perimeter, **Polish** has a Centralized Weight Distribution (CWD) rather than an Outward Weight Distribution (OWD) which creates poor spin retention and spin times making **Polish** Combinations liable to being Out-Spun. Furthermore, the same construction makes **Polish** very lightweight and makes Combinations highly vulnerable to Knock-Outs.

However, the same lightweight allows **Polish** to be used to great effect in Spin-Equalization Combinations as the low weight creates low inertia and makes it easier for a **Polish** Combination to Spin-Equalize and the high Life-After-Death allows Spin-Equalization Combinations to Out-Spin their opponents by a few more rotations.

## Performance Tip - Atomic

*Main article: Performance Tip - Atomic*
**Atomic** is a Performance Tip that features a free-rotating ball tip, akin to its predecessor Orbit, surrounded by a four-tabbed, free-spinning ring. Compared to Orbit, the ball of **Atomic** is approximately 3.4 times larger in volume or 1.3 times wider in diameter. In theory, the wider tip would increase a Beyblade's Knock-Out Defense by having greater surface area and friction. However, in practice, the free-rotating nature of the ball reduces most of the Knock-Out Defense given by the surface area of the ball. Like all other ball-based Performance Tips, the tabs around **Atomic** are meant to act as brakes against Knock-Outs at the cost of Stamina by striking against the stadium floor. However, the large diameter makes such contact rare. If hard launched, the greater surface area creates a semi-aggressive movement pattern early in the battle, bringing the Beyblade close to the Tornado Ridge.

While these features may imply that an **Atomic** Combination would be easy to Knock-Out, the heavy weight of Energy Layers and Forge Discs released after the God Layer System, along with **Atomic**'s own weight, compensates for the rotating ball. Furthermore, the free-rotating ball increases the Burst Resistance of a Defense Combination. However, the Takara Tomy release of **Atomic** has noticeably weaker Burst Lock spring than Orbit, making **Atomic** lag behind its predecessor in terms of Burst Resistance.

In addition to its Defense properties, **Atomic** features high Stamina and Spin-Equalization potential. The free-rotating nature of the ball reduces friction with the stadium floor, as the wide ball tip will keep a Combination stable and thus prevent scraping. The free-spinning ring also increases Life-After-Death (LAD).

The Hasbro version of **Atomic** is mostly unchanged from its Takara Tomy counterpart. However, there are three variations of Hasbro's **Atomic**. The first variation, which debuted in the Wyvron W3 4Glaive Atomic Starter Pack, does not spin as freely as the second and third variations. The second variation, which debuted in the Quad Ring Combat Pack, has a better free-spinning ring than the first and a better molded free-rotating ball than the third variation. The third variation, which debuted in the Balkesh B3 2Bump Atomic Starter Pack, has the same amount of free-spin as the second variation, but differs by having a bump on the ball tip.
