Dran Dagger 9-60LF
BX-00
Weight: 34.9g (LOW END) - 35.7g (HIGH END)
Design: DranDagger is a 6 bladed attack blade that features 6 somewhat sharp flat blade.
Barrage Attack: Technically, DranDagger just has a smash attack, but none of the hits are really that strong, so I am inclined to believe this is technically as close as possible to this gimmick working.
Attack VS Attack: Against other attacks it can manage fine Dagger has decent stamina and can sometimes destablize opponents but it is not consistent enough to be reliable against the higher tier of Beyblade X.
Attack VS Stamina: Sadly post Wizard Rod release Dran Dagger struggles a lot it does not generate enough recoil to be consistent enough to use in competitive.
Strengths:
Deflection: DranDagger can sometimes deflect things thrown at it, making it very useful for getting solid KOs.
Stamina: DranDagger's shape allows it to just have solid stamina for an attack type.
Weaknesses:
Barrage Failure? Sometimes, DranDagger can repeatedly hit something and not budge, depleting stamina and causing it to have no good, hard-hitting endgame properties some rounds.
Overall: Dran Dagger has fallen behind over a period of time where it is not as good as some of the higher tiers like Phoenix Wing and Tyranno Beat it is a fine attacker but not that much of a reliable one, as such it is a welcome addition but not a must have.
Gameplan: On setups with low height on any aggressive bit that can get speed, like Flat Taper, you must hard launch and aim to defeat your opponent quickly.
Combos:
Attack: DranDagger 5-60/9-60/3-60/7-60/1-60 Rush/Taper/Flat/Accel/Low Rush
Weight: 6.2g
Design: 9-60 is a ratchet that has 9 sides and a low height, the contact areas for the ratchet are 9 filled out points.
Stamina: It is as good as 5-60 and good compared to other other ratchets.
Burst Resistance: It has the best resistance as it is incredibly hard to hit being small and rounded off.
Low Height: It is one of the lowest height ratchets, making it a great use for attack combinations or other low height setups depending on context.
Weight: 2.1g
Design: The LowFlat is 1mm shorter than the regular flat and doesn't have the hole in the middle that the regular flat does. Because of these factors, it is able to move a bit faster than the regular flat and not have nearly as much stamina.
Strengths:
Great attack bit for Beyblade X: The Flat Bit is well-suited for aggressive playstyles and can be effective in offensive strategies.
Uses the Xtreme Dash gimmick easily: The Bit works well with the Xtreme Dash performance tip, allowing for high speed and KO potential.
Able to pick up strong speeds and KO: The Bit excels in achieving high rotational speeds, making it proficient at knocking out opponents from the stadium.
Burst Resistance: This bit has 80 Stats in Burst resistance, which makes it great to use due to minimal Burst risk.
Weaknesses:
Low stamina: The Bit may not be ideal for battles that require endurance, as it lacks stamina. Stamina is important for outlasting opponents in long battles. In the context of a battle, if you get your hits at the start and don't miss, you have nothing to worry about. It is basically the same issue with Flat, just even more.
Vulnerability to self-KO: If the Bit is hard-launched and catches the stadium path, it can self-KO, which is a potential weakness. Control and technique are essential when using this Bit. Due to it being super fast now and the modified design, this is even more of an issue.
Gameplan:
Flat launch or a somewhat tilted angle shoot: To maximize the effectiveness of this Bit, you can employ a flat launch or a slight angle to utilize the stadium's gimmicks and aim for knockouts.
With Low Flat: It has a lot of speed and power, but stamina won't be there since it does have a slight advantage
Overall: Low Flat has a considerable improvement over regular flat for attack power and speed but has less stamina, due to it improving some blades that need fast hits to win it is a must have for any attack combo.
Overall
This release is already hard to obtain being a limited collectors item, if you do get it, this should just be for collection purposes only as the ratchet and bit is the only thing of value.
