Section 02
The Digital Dojo
Inertia is organized as a digital dojo — a spatial environment with distinct rooms for different activities. Think of it like navigating a physical space rather than clicking through menus.
The Room Grid
Nine rooms arranged in a 3×3 grid, each serving a specific purpose:
Lab
Workshop
Metascope
Holodeck
Arena
Tournament
Garden
Quarters
Potential
Highlighted rooms are covered in this guide

Workshop: Building Combos
The Workshop is where you build and manage your Beyblade combinations. Before entering tournaments, you'll want combos saved here.
Creating a Combo
Navigate to Workshop (swipe up from bottom bar, tap Workshop)
Tap the + button or start building in the combo builder
Select parts for each slot: Blade, Ratchet, and Bit
For 5-part CX combos, the builder will show additional slots for Main Blade, Assist Blade, and Lock Chip
Tap Save to add the combo to your collection
Voice Input
Tap the microphone icon and speak your combo naturally:
"Shark Edge 3-60 Taper"
The app parses and fills in the parts automatically — great for quickly building multiple combos. Works for CX too.
Cases System
Organize your combos into Cases — think of them as folders:
Create cases like "Tournament Ready," "Testing," or "Stamina Builds"
Add combos to cases for easy access during battles
Cases sync to the cloud across your devices
For Tournaments: 3v3 format requires exactly 3 combos in your deck. Make sure to save at least 3 combos before registering.

The New Flow (v1.5.6+)
Tournament progression is now driven by a single floating action button (FAB) that always shows the next logical action:
WBO Ranked Auto: For WBO events, use "WBO Ranked Auto" staging. The tournament structure automatically configures based on player count — 16 players gets Swiss 5R → Top 8, 40 players gets Swiss 6R → Top 16, etc.
Section 05

Each player's current combo is displayed as a card on screen

Tips & Help

Make sure all judges understand the Arena scoring flow
Test the QR code registration with a friend
Have a backup scoring method ready just in case
Common Issues
Can't see the navigation drawer? Make sure you're swiping up from the bottom bar itself, not just the bottom of the screen. You can also tap the Bottom Bar's "Rooms" button at any time.
Tournament not advancing? Check that all matches in the current round are complete. The FAB will show the next action when ready.
Match not saving? Check your internet connection. Results sync to the server in real-time — poor connectivity can cause delays.
