In the case of Diabolos the argument could be made that it presented an interesting competitive choice to players given that it was among the heaviest of the Chips + Layer Weights. This reduces customization, which I’m not sure is the best way to go about things in a game which prides itself on the amount of customization available. In Beyblade Burst GT with releases like Venom Diabolos Vanguard Bullet and Lord Spriggan, the Diabolos GT Chip and Lord Layer Base didn’t allow for a standard feature of that season’s system–Layer Weights–to be used with them. Legend Spriggan had a metal core built into the centre of the Layer itself rather than allowing for one of the detachable God Chips or a Metal God Chip. While the design of Lucifer is great aesthetically and having an easy way to obtain a heavier Sparking Chip is welcome, it did strike me that the combination of the Sparking Chip Core with the Sparking Chip continues a trend that began in 2017 with the release of Legend Spriggan 7 Merge.

Takara-Tomy’s Ongoing Trend of Fusing Layer Parts There is a Metal Chip Core available for the regular Sparking Chips like the ones found with Super Hyperion and King Helios, but at the moment it is difficult to obtain, so Lucifer is the easiest way to add some additional weight to your Beyblade without seeking out the Metal Chip Core. The purple design surrounding the centre of the chip representing a purple sun is made of metal as well, making this the heaviest Sparking Chip out of the box to date. The Lucifer Sparking Chip is notable for being the first Sparking Chip to have the Chip Core fused into the chip itself.
