Tier List: Best Beys Right Now

Updated · Spins & parts

Quick answer

After the Oct 25 patch: Lone Longinox (Attack, Legendary) is the clearest winner — buffed Oct 22 and its Ultimate now charges faster. Flare Fafnir (Divine) is still top-end but was toned down. Surge Spriggan was nerfed twice, Halo Helios became Balance, and Kaiser Cerberon was raised to Legendary. The game patches every 1–3 days, so check the date.

How we built this

There’s no reliable community tier list yet — the “tier lists” on copycat sites use anime Bey names that aren’t in this game. So this page ranks Beys by what the developer actually changed in patch notes, plus what creators who play the game say. It will move as patches land; the date at the top is when we last checked.

Best Beys right now (Oct 25)

Tier Beys Why
S Lone Longinox (Attack, Legendary) · Flare Fafnir (Divine) Longinox: buffed Oct 22 (more attack, passive +15% burst damage, moves and spin steal up) and Ultimate charges faster Oct 25. Fafnir: the only Divine, buffed Oct 22; Oct 25 cut its stamina and weight and limited its spin steal to right-spin Beys
A Halo Helios (Balance, Mythic) · Kaiser Cerberon (Defense, Legendary) · Vector Valkyra (Attack) Helios: left-spin, now Balance (more spin and burst locks). Cerberon: raised to Legendary Oct 25, and Defense takes less burst damage. Valkyra: buffed Oct 22 (stats, weight, burst bonus always on) — the best free starter
B Surge Spriggan · Dire Drake · Arc Achilles · Eclipse Evil-Eye · Xeno Excalion Spriggan nerfed twice (Oct 22, Oct 25). Dire Drake became Attack but its Ultimate charges slower. Arc Achilles’ moves hit softer. Evil-Eye’s counters protect less. Xeno Excalion can no longer burst instantly with Quake/Impact + Shakadero
— Infernal Ifrit, Neo Neptune, Dread Deathscythe, Helix Hyperion, Arid Anubis, Yonder Yggdrasil and others No clear signal yet — fine to use, not ranked

This is our reading of the patch notes, not measured win rates. Tiers here reflect direction (buffed vs nerfed) at a similar rarity, so a well-levelled Epic can still beat an under-levelled Legendary.

FAQ

What is the best Bey in Bey Rivals?

Right now Lone Longinox has the best patch trend: buffed on Oct 22 (more attack, +15% burst damage on its passive, stronger moves and spin steal) and its Ultimate charges faster since Oct 25. Flare Fafnir is the rarest and still strong but lost stamina and weight on Oct 25.

Did Surge Spriggan get nerfed?

Yes. It was heavily buffed on the morning of Oct 22, then nerfed the same afternoon (stats back to 13/13/16, 4 burst bubbles, passive only against Attack types, weaker Counter Break, Upper Shoot and Axe Smash), and nerfed again on Oct 25 (less defense and attack, Counter Break knocks back less).

Is Halo Helios good?

It's a left-spin Mythic that evens out spin with right-spin Beys. Creator V1rtual first called it the worst, then said it's 'actually good' a day later using Halo Helios + Magnum + Trans. Since Oct 25 it's a Balance type, which gets more spin and burst locks.

What's the best type?

There's no single best type after Oct 25: Attack still has the most burst damage but its Ultimate fills slower, Defense takes less burst damage, Stamina is much harder to burst, and Balance gets extra spin and burst locks.
