New to Beyblade X? Start with the basics below, then build the setups top players use.
How a Beyblade X top works
Your Beyblade X top comes apart into three parts. The blade on top is what hits and gets hit. The ratchet in the middle joins the blade to the bit, and its name, such as 1-60, gives its number of protrusions and its height. The bit underneath touches the stadium, and its shape decides how your top moves. Together they make a combo, and you can swap ratchets and bits between tops to build new ones. To play, you also need a launcher and a stadium.
Where to start
A battle set to start with
To start playing right away, get Hasbro's Drop Attack Battle Set. It comes with a stadium, two launchers and two solid blades, Impact Drake and Hover Wyvern, so you can battle a friend straight away.
Adding to what you have
If a friend already has a stadium, or you want another Beyblade for your collection, get a Hasbro Starter Pack. It comes with a blade and a launcher. Buy on

Stadium and launcher
A stadium
When you want to upgrade from the stadium in a battle set, get Takara Tomy's BX-10 Xtreme Stadium, which Hasbro sells as the Tournament Beystadium. It's the best one. The other stadiums aren't worth the money. Buy on Ad
A string launcher
When you want a string launcher, Hasbro sells them in Deluxe String Launcher sets, including left-spin versions for left-spinning blades. Buy on Ad
A winder launcher
You might prefer a winder launcher: instead of pulling a string, you push a toothed winder into it and pull it out. Hasbro sells the Winder Launcher on its own. For left-spinning blades, Takara Tomy sells the Winder Launcher L, and Hasbro's Beyblade 25th Anniversary Set includes one. Buy on Ad
Hasbro or Takara Tomy
Takara Tomy makes Beyblade X in Japan, and Hasbro sells it in western countries, often under another name: Takara Tomy's WizardRod is Hasbro's Wand Wizard. Each blade's Explore page lists both names, so you can find yours either way. Parts from the two fit together, though Hasbro's bits lock in more tightly. Some blades are sold by only one of them.
Setups top players use
Once you know the basics, here are the setups tournament players use most, for blades Hasbro sells. Each one lists what to buy to build it. A box named by its code, such as UX-02 Starter, is a Takara Tomy import. If a blade spins left, you'll need a left-spin launcher for it. Some of these products aren't sold on Amazon. If a search doesn't find one, try JPFans.com, eBay or another shop that sells Beyblade X.
