This Bey Rivals tier list ranks the known beys in the Roblox spinning-top battler from BBR Productions, using rarity and the direction of the October 22 and October 25, 2026 balance patches. It is not about Beyblade Burst Rivals, the separate 2018 mobile game (see Bey Rivals vs Beyblade Burst Rivals). The patch details come from the developer's Discord patch notes, as recorded by fan trackers; the developer does not publish them on Roblox, and we have not tested them ourselves, so every placement is provisional.
Bey Rivals tier list (October 25, 2026)
Ten beys have enough published to rank, from S (best) to B. Each links to its own page.
| Bey | Tier | Type | Rarity | Why |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lone Longinox | S | Attack | Legendary | Buffed October 22; its Ultimate has charged faster since October 25. |
| Flare Fafnir | S | Unknown | Divine | The only Divine bey, buffed October 22. Trimmed on October 25, and its spin drain now works only on right-spin beys. |
| Halo Helios | A | Balance | Mythic | Left-spin layer; Balance type since October 25. |
| Kaiser Cerberon | A | Defense | Legendary | Starter, raised to Legendary on October 25. |
| Vector Valkyra | A | Attack | Rare | Starter with SS Attack, buffed October 22. The best free pick. |
| Surge Spriggan | B | Balance | Legendary | Buffed, then nerfed back on October 22, and nerfed again October 25. |
| Dire Drake | B | Attack | Unknown | Attack since October 25, with a slower Ultimate. |
| Arc Achilles | B | Unknown | Unknown | Recent nerf; details not published. |
| Eclipse Evil-Eye | B | Defense | Unknown | Recent nerf. |
| Xeno Excalion | B | Attack | Unknown | Recent nerf. |
How we rank beys
Placement rests on rarity and on which way the October 22 and October 25 patches pushed each bey: buffs move it up, recent nerfs move it down. We checked the result against the only public fan ranking, which works the same way.
No stat tables are published and nobody has published tested win rates, so this Bey Rivals tier list shows direction, not proven strength. A layer is only one part of a bey, so the discs and drivers in the Bey Rivals parts guide and the buffs from Bey Rivals surnames matter too. Expect the list to keep moving.
Best starter bey
The tutorial offers three starters: Vector Valkyra (Attack), Kaiser Cerberon (Defense) and Yonder Yggdrasil (Stamina). The best starter in Bey Rivals is Vector Valkyra, a Rare Attack layer with SS Attack, a Victory Rush passive worth 20 percent more burst damage and an October 22 buff that put it in A tier.
Pick Kaiser Cerberon for a sturdier start; it is also A tier and became Legendary on October 25. Yonder Yggdrasil, the Stamina starter, has too little published to rank. The Bey Rivals beginner guide covers your first hour.
Best bey for each type
| Type | Best pick | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Attack | Lone Longinox (S) | The best attack bey. Vector Valkyra is the free alternative. |
| Defense | Kaiser Cerberon (A) | Eclipse Evil-Eye (B) is the alternative. |
| Stamina | No ranked pick | Yonder Yggdrasil is the starter, but too little is published to rank it. |
| Balance | Halo Helios (A) | Surge Spriggan (B) after two nerfs. |
Flare Fafnir ranks S, but its type is not recorded, so it is not a type pick. Lone Longinox, Halo Helios and Surge Spriggan come from the Standard banner; Bey Rivals spin rates shows the odds and pity.

What changed in the latest patches
October 22 brought two updates. Lone Longinox, Vector Valkyra and Flare Fafnir were buffed, Surge Spriggan was buffed hard and then nerfed back, and Attack types gained much more burst damage. Stamina beys started taking 10 percent less burst damage from Attack types.
The Bey Rivals tier list moved most on October 25. Every bey type was rebalanced, Halo Helios became Balance, Kaiser Cerberon rose to Legendary, Dire Drake became Attack with a slower Ultimate, and Surge Spriggan was nerfed again. Clash spam-clicking is now capped at 8 clicks per second. The dated log is on Bey Rivals updates, and the new matchmaking rules are in the Bey Rivals ranked guide.
Bey Rivals tier list FAQ
What is the best bey in Bey Rivals?
Lone Longinox, a Legendary Attack layer from the Standard banner, is the best bey to aim for on this Bey Rivals tier list: it was buffed on October 22 and its Ultimate has charged faster since October 25. Flare Fafnir shares S tier but is far harder to get. The best layer for a new player is the Attack starter Vector Valkyra.
Is Flare Fafnir worth chasing?
Not early on. It is the only Divine bey and sits in S tier, but the Standard banner gives it 0.01 percent odds, about 1 in 10,000, and it is mainly meant to come from the Robux-only Limited banner. One outside guide advises skipping the Divine early and focusing on Mythic or Legendary layers.
What is the best free bey?
Vector Valkyra, the Attack starter, is the best free bey, and Kaiser Cerberon, the Defense starter, is also A tier. Other free beys come from the Standard banner, which costs BP or Spin Tickets; the Bey Rivals BP guide lists ways to earn them, and Bey Rivals codes give free ones.
How often does the Bey Rivals tier list change?
With every balance patch. Updates land every one to three days, and we recheck this list after each balance change. It was last checked on October 25, 2026.
