A great strategy at the beginning of a BEYBLADE battle is that the first second after your opponent launches their BEYBLADE top you immediately aim for them towards a penalty pocket and try an hit them into a penalty pocket which enables you to win 2 points.               (IF PLAYING OFFICIAL RULES) .

A good strategy is, if you have a defensive style BEYBLADE top, to pull the ripcord as hard as you can. The intense speed just deflects your opponent's attacks, dealing heavy damage your opponent's top. This strategy targets your opponent's weight disc, sending his/her BEYBLADE out of control.

Launch your BEYBLADE top just after your opponent and it will hopefully get the advantage by knocking it from the air (50/50 Chance)
