Beyblade has featured a resurgence in the past few years and rightly so, the different Beys on offer now are some of the most attractive and battle-ready toy tops we have ever seen. The first Beyblade was released in Japan in 1999 and was inspired by spinning tops that children have been playing with for centuries. The rise and domination of the video game knocked the wind out of tabletop and other physical games in the mid-2000s but Beyblade has found a recent resurgence.

Far from being a child’s game, Beyblade battles have a certain element of danger; as the best and most engineered tops are often finely crafted pieces of metal, spinning erratically at ferocious speeds. You do not want to get your fingers caught between two battling Beys, it is certainly not recommended! However, this danger and the satisfaction derived from collectible, interchangeable tops means that Beyblade is attracting a lot of players, new and old.

If you have been Beyblading for a while or are getting back into it after years out, Screen Rant has you covered. Check out this article to help you pick the best individual Beyblade that will leave you the last player standing. If, however, you do not have any equipment or are looking to change up your collection there are Beyblade sets on offer. Beyblade sets come with all the hardware you need to get going, two or more Beys, launchers and a Beystaidum.

Many variables may influence your decision, such as arena size, the number of arena levels, arena safety, the Beyblade included and arena durability. With so many factors to take into account, it can be quite daunting. That is why we have done the research for you and identified The best Beyblade set overall! The pros and cons have been taken into account, and we will give you the whole picture. At the end of this guide, you will be able to choose The best Beyblade set for you.

The Beyblade is front and centre in this set. Unlike the other Beyblade sets on this list where the stadium was the most impressive part, the Beys take centre stage here. Included is the very first 4-in-1 spinner, which is designed a lot more intricately and gives the player more customizable options. The Beyblades consist of the Drive Chip, Gravity Ring, Energy layer base and the driver, all of which you can swap out once your collection starts to grow. Another cool feature is the different modes you can set the Beyblades to, either Apex or Core mode. In less jargonistic terms Apex is a taller mode, which extends the Beyblade into a taller form. Core mode is a smaller mode, which makes the Beyblade more compact. By adding the performance tip this changes the mode to Apex+ or Core+. So there are a lot of different modes to play with, which keeps things interesting!

The Stadium is a little simpler than other Beystadiums out there, but there are still enough features to keep things interesting. You won't be surprised to hear that there are 4 different layers in the stadium which spin the Beys in different directions. There are also path diverters which are supposed to direct the Beys back into the center of the ring and keep the battle going. So although it isn't the most exciting Beystadium, there are enough features to keep the battles entertaining.

This is the newest Beystadium on the list, so if you have been around for a while you may have your eyes on this one. The Interstellar Drop Beystadium is a two-tiered Beystadium, which will allow your Beyblade to drop to a second tier. You begin on the 1st tier, dropping to the second if your Beyblade spins that way. Like other two-tiered stadiums, it makes for exciting battles, and it is sometimes hard to tell which way a battle will go. Depending on how your battle is going, dropping to the second tier may help you win by avoiding your enemy, or take all of your stamina out of the Bey and make you loose. There is also a handy hole on the bottom tier which will allow you to collect your Beyblade if it bursts into pieces. The newer Beystadiums have impressed with their durability, and so far there are not a lot of complaints about it breaking easily.

The two Beys which are included in this set is the balance type, Prominence Phoenix P7 G10 QD03 TB16-Q D05, and the attack type, Devastate Evo Belfyre B7 G01 QD06 TS22-Q A07. Like other Beys in the Quad series, these are 4-in-1 Beyblades and if you have other Beys from the Beyblade Burst QuadDrive Cosmic Vector Battle Set, you can interchange parts. The Beys included are quite lightweight but are evenly matched and will make for competitive battles.

Beyblade Burst QuadDrive Interstellar Drop Battle Set Game

The Beyblade Burst Rise Hypersphere Vertical Drop Battle Set is a great set for those looking for an arena that has a large battle space, with a few twists. There are no pockets in this stadium, which mean the likelihood that your battle will end in physical contact is much higher. There is nowhere for your Beyblade to run! The stadium itself is one of the best looking Beystadium on the list and the simple design is ergonomic. The overall quality of the plastic is robust and sturdy and should last plenty of battles. The side walls of the Beystadium are high enough to keep most battles inside the stadium instead of flying out, although, this is Beyblade so don't expect them to stay trapped in there every time!

By adding the performance tips, the Beys can climb up the side of the Beystadium which will take it up to the brink. When they drop back in you can achieve maximum devastation which is a fun touch and keeps the battle interesting. Although the Bushin Ashindra A5 and the Ace Dragon D5 are slightly basic, they are of decent quality and are a good starting point for beginners. However, these Beys may also appeal to the more involved Beyblade fans as the tops are anime-accurate colors and will make a good addition to any collectors horde. Like most other modern Battle Sets, there are scannable codes on the tops which will unlock the Beyblades in the Beyblade app.

Key Features
  • Hypersphere Vertical Drop Beystadium
  • Bushin Ashindra A5 (defense type)
  • Ace Dragon D5 (attack type)
  • Scannable Codes for App Unlock
  • Performance Tips to climb walls
Specifications
  • Number of Pieces: 5
  • Type: Beyblade Battle Set

Beyblade Burst Rise Hypersphere Vertical Drop Battle Set

Coming in at spot number five is the Beyblade Burst Turbo Slingshock Rail Rush Battle Set. Fifth spot is a solid spot and that is testament to this Battle Set. Included is the Rail Rush Beystadium which has interesting features that if utilized, can be deadly effective. There is a dual rail system next to the main battle arena that can propel your Beyblade around, directly into the face of your opponent. If your Beyblade enters the rail cleanly, it will work incredibly effectively. This is either done by chance, or if you are skilled enough you can aim your Beyblade towards it straight from the launcher. The rails make for interesting battles and allow more tactical playing that a normal bowl type Beystadium would allow for. Although the rail system is a nice feature, the rest of the battle area is quite small and will only allow for 2 Beys at once. Making it slightly bigger to allow for four Beys would make a battle even more interesting. The curved lip at the top of the stadium does a good job of keeping the Beys inside the stadium.

The Beyblade Burst Slingshock tops are decent quality and are all plastic components. In the Battle Set you get the Z Achillies A4 Top, an attack type, and Wonder Valtryek V4 Top, a defense type. The Beys are quite evenly matched and will allow for a fair battle but if you were to introduce other better quality Beys, they won't last very long. The newely designed Slingshock Launchers are a nice green and black color, but are quite simple and do the job. Be careful not to be too aggressive with the launchers as they won't perform very well if you force the launch.

Key Features
  • Rail Rush Beystadium
  • Wonder Valtryek V4 Top
  • 1 Left Spin Burst Slingshock Launcher
  • 1 Right Spin Burst Slingshock Launcher
  • Z Achillies A4 Top
Specifications
  • Number of Pieces: 2

Pros
  • Design of stadium makes for tactical battles

This Battle Set is super exciting. This is the first ever example of a motorized Beystadium. Included is a motorized spinning disc in the centre of the Beystadium which makes for really exciting battles as when the Beys hit the disc, all hell breaks loose! Never before has there been a motorized Beystadium, regardless of the pleas of Beyblade. But now Hasbro has listened. Although there is a lot more technology incorporated in this Battle Set, it is still very easy to assemble. All you need to do is simply attach the top of the Beystadium to the floor and push the spinning disc through the hole of the arena floor and hey presto, you are ready to battle!

Since the Beystadium is so impressive, the quality of the Beys is a little disappointing. If you are new to Beybalde, then you probably won't notice anything wrong with the Beys that are included in this Battle Set. Excluding the Pro Champions Battle Set, all the other Beys included on this list are made of plastic and that is the case with the Evo Lucius Endbringer L6 D12/TSP22 and Evo Hyperion Flamebringer H6 D49/TSP21 included in this set. So don't have your hopes set too high with the Beys included in this set, we recommend getting some individual ones if you are to buy this set.

Beyblade Burst Surge Speedstorm Motor Strike Battle Set Game

If you are likely to get a little tired of your Beystaduim then the Beyblade Burst Rise Hypersphere Vortex Climb Battle Set is a great choice. This particular Beystadium has removable parts that you can decide to add if you want to spice things up a little. Even without the optional extras, the arena offers a large battle space and that alone would make for a really enjoyable Beystadium. There are two large ramps on the periphery of the stadium which can launch your Beys in the air and unleash an aerial attack which is more than likely to end the battle and knock your opponent still. The epic aeriel moves that can be performed in this arena is enough to keep any Beyblade fan entertained for hours.

If you do happen to get bored with the standard layout of the Beystadium there is an additional piece you can add. The optional green attachment adds another layer to the arena and elevates the battle above the standard arena floor. The extra layer adds another dimension that other Beystadiums call out for. The tops in this Beyblade set are some of the most attractive on this list, especially the Golden Judgement Drago D5 which is painted in gold. The Golden Judgement Drago D5 is a balance type, so it is well-rounded with a rating of 3 for both run time and drop in frequency. The Prime Apocalypse A5 is an attack type and benefits from a sword-type point on the energy layer. This slightly protruding point makes its circumference larger and really helps the attack. The exciting Beystadium and the attracive looking, well-equipped Beys would put this Battle Set at home in beginners and collectors collection alike, earning its spot as number one on this list.

Key Features
  • Customisable Hypersphere Vortex Climb Beystadium
  • Golden Judgement Dragon D5
  • Prime Apocalypse A5
  • Interchangeable right-spin GT Chips in the Energy Layers
Specifications
  • Number of Pieces: 2
  • Type: Battle Arena Set

If you are looking for a Beyblade Set that is straightforward to use and will allow you to play straight out-of-the-box then the BeyBlade Burst Surge Speedstorm Volt Knockout Battle Set may be the one for you. The Speedstorm Volt Knockout Beystadium that is included offers a large playing area that doesn't take a long time to set up. No need to spend hours trying to understand the instruction manual, once unboxed you just need to attach the top to the base, and you're ready for battle. Although the arena is made out of thin plastic, it is deceptively strong and holds up well to rigorous use. This Battle Set is extremely accessible and is very inviting for players who aren't that experienced with Beyblade, making it one of the most popular sets out there.

There are two Beys included in this set, which have been selected well and give you an even battle. The first is the Right-Spin Super Hyperion H6 D30/TSP07 which is the red top. This is the attack type with an attack rating of 9/10, defence is not its strong point, so it will always set out to obliterate the opponent into submission. The other Beyblade in this set is the Left-Spin Kolossal Helios H6 D57/TSP02. This is a well-rounded Beyblade and has very balanced statistics, although it doesn't specialize in any stat line, it performs all of them well and will put up a great fight. Both Beys have sturdy blades and good-quality launchers that will consistently work over multiple uses. There are scannable codes on both the Beys which you can find on the energy layers which will unlock the Beys in the Beyblade Burst App. The combination of good quality Beys and an accessible Beystadium puts this Battle set at number 2.

Beyblade Burst Surge Speedstorm Volt Knockout Battle Set

This Battle set is the most authentic in the series. From the classic designed Beystadium to the Beys with metal components, this battle set is perfect for those who are looking for more authentically replicated Beyblades. The original Japanese company which created and distributed Beyblade was Takara Tomy — who was branded, and their assets sold to other toy companies - and their Beys were considered stronger and weightier due to the fact they were made with metal. The US company Hasbro have the license to make and distribute Beyblade in the states. Their range is sometimes criticized by those with a deeper interest and understanding of Beyblade as the Beys are often created with plastic blades instead of metal. There are other reasons why, but for now we won't go into that. This Burst Series Elite Champion Pro Set has two Beys — the Cho-Z Valtryek Zenith-P Destroy' and the Cho-Z Achilles 1' Absorb — which both have metal components on the energy level, which make them more robust and slightly heavier. The Beys are also equipped with burst-resistant wings, that make the Beys included in this set the best on this list. For those looking for better quality Beys, this is the set for you.

The Beystadium is in keeping with the classic design of the Japanese made Takara Tomy stadium. It is a completely white color with a clear plastic guard, which is very similar to the Japanese design. The main battle section of the Beystadium is large, with plenty of room for Beys to fight. There are four pockets in total which will take all the momentum out of a Beyblade if it is unfortunate enough to be knocked into one. However, one of the pocket is obstructed by the top of the stadium leg, making it a little redundant. Overall it is a solid stadium, which is a realistic recreation of the Takara Tomy Stadium.

Key Features
  • Elite Champions Beystadium
  • Cho-Z Achilles 1' Absorb
  • Cho-Z Valtryek Zenith-P Destroy'
  • 2 Elite Champions Pro Launchers
Specifications
  • Number of Pieces: 2 Beys, 2 Launchers, 1 Beystadium

Pros
  • Both Beys are robust and have metal components
  • Beys have burst resistant wings

Beyblade Burst Series Elite Champions Pro Set

Much like the other Battle Set in the Pro Champions Battle Set, the Pro Series Evo Elite Champions Set takes its inspiration from the authentic Japanese design of Takara Tomy. In this set, Hasbro are offering authentic components and really cool battle elements that you can't find in their other series. This is the 'Evo' Elite Champions Battle Set, so we should expect better quality Beys and an improved Beystadium. The two Beys included in the set are the Sword Valtryek D72-P PR-13, which is the attack type, and the Wizard Fafnir D70-P PR-14 which has been called the "endurance" type. The endurance type is similar to the balanced type found in other sets. As expected with Takara Tomy replicated Beys, there are metal components on the wings which add to the weight and attack of the Beys in this Battle Set. There is a rubber tip included for the Sword Valtryek, which adds to its stability. The Wizard Fafnir has the ability to steal the opponents swing and steal its momentum. All in all, the two Beys included make for dynamic and exciting battles.

The main difference with the Beystadium in this set compared with the Pro Series Elite Champions set is the color, which is a little disappointing. We would have been a little happier with a few more stadium features, potentially different levels or path diverters would have been a nice improvement. However, the Beystadium is nice and sturdy and will stand up to rigorous battling. Overall, a decent Battle Set that will give you very good quality Beys but an improved Beystadium would have made a decent set, great.

Key Features
  • Burst Pro Series Evo Elite Champions Pro Set Battle Game Set
  • Wizard Fafnir D70-P PR-14
  • Sword Valtryek D72-P PR-13

The Beyblade Burst Battle Tower set is a brilliant set if you are friends with people who are also into Beyblade. The Battle Tower Set allows for two or four players to battle at once and is good fun if you are looking to invite your friends around for some battles. There is a large battle space which can accommodate four different Beys spinning at once and this in itself makes for exciting battles with many possibilities. There are two different levels. Starting on level one, there is a drop-down hole which will take your Beyblade to level 2 if it drops through. There are four pockets in the entire set, which add to the drama of the battle. With so many features in the stadium, it is quite hard to predict a battle which makes it appealing and can draw people in. If you are planing on inviting guests to join you on your Beyblade journey, this is the Battle Set for you. Since there are two tiers, it isn't as easy to assemble as others on this list, but there is a set of instructions, and you get the hang of it rather quickly.

The two Beyblades included is the Strike Valtryek V3 and the Noctemis N3 2 Jaggy. The Noctemis N3 2 Jaggy allows you to switch modes, from down slope to up slope. This is especially useful considering there are two different tiers for your Beyblade to navigate. Overall build quality is quite beginner, since they are all made from plastic and there isn't any metal components. Also, the stadium allows for four players to play, but only two Beys are supplied, it would have been a nice touch if another two were included.
