>>5899748I can give you a basic run down as someone who was confused by the whole metagame.
In the current line, Burst, each top has three parts:
Layer
Disc
Driver
When you buy a Beyblade it'll be named something like Neptune Armed Massive, which is the name of the layer, disc and driver in that order. When you're looking at combos they will also be named in that order. You can browse the WBO forums for guidance on combos but the basic strategy goes like this.
There are four main types, attack, defence, stamina and balance.
Attack blades are aggressive but don't spin for long, so technique is required in launches to get them to attack before they run out of spin. Their main objective is to either knock the opposing blade out of the stadium, burst the opposing blade (the parts pop apart) or stop it from spinning. It's strong against stamina but weak against defence.
Defence types are heavy and sit in the middle of the stadium. They're designed to withstand hits from attack types. They're strong against attack but weak against stamina.
Stamina blades are lighter than defence blades and are designed to outspin the opponent. They are strong against defence but weak against attack.
Balance blades are mixture of any of the above, but generally aren't as effective in one area as a pure defence/attack/stamina blade would be.
I don't browse WBO regularly so I'm sure someone else here will link you to the relevant threads.
The game's really fun if you have a friend who's engaged too. It's just a bit of a money sink.
