Dranzer S 3-80T
BX-00
Weight: 27.2g (LOW END)- 27.5g (HIGH END)
Design: Dranzer S is a blade that features a top layer of plastic a middle layer where it is the weight disc of metal and the outer contact points are metal along with the bottom blue being plastic.
Attack VS Attack Use: Dranzer S is a blade that requires a Blader to use a strong shoot in order to be used effectively, if used on a strong shoot due to its light weight it can jump around do interesting damage to other attackers. But the issue being it does not have enough consistent against current attackers to do well.
Attack VS Stamina: Similar to attack Dranzer S needs a strong shoot but if used right it can be able to deliver strong hits and KO stuff. However with blades like Wizard Rod and Phoenix Wing it cannot do this consistently.
Defense VS Attack: Surprisingly Dranzer S used on a low height ratchet and on needle can have it where the weight disc and blade make contact with whatever attacker it fights against go flying around and force it to lose stamina.
Strengths:
Unique Contact Points: Dranzer S due to this slope does well in Upper Attack being able to easily launch opponents into the Over Zone or Xtreme Zone.
Speed: Dranzer has speed that is for its benefit and to its deteriment, the lightweight of this blade can allow it to go very fast but that can lead to failing to get a hit or not even hitting your opponent or you manage to get hits.
Weaknesses
Weight: Dranzer S has a lower weight than the average Beyblade X Blade by a couple of grams. While this doesn't mean it is really bad it means you have to do a lot of work to make sure it can do well.
Consistency In Wings: Since Dranzer likes to fly around a lot when it starts jumping around it can be somewhat annoying if you don't control it leading to stamina depleting.
Wear: Due to the plastic being exposed on the blue layer of it, overtime it can chip down and wear, as such it is recommended to potentially have more than one copy if you plan to use it.
Overall: Dranzer S cannot work in the current climate of Beyblade X it is far too weak to be consistent, the best bet is potentially on Needle or defense setups against attack combos to troll your opponent.
Gameplan:
In AVA (Attack VS Attack) so long as you have a strong shoot you can do well against other attackers despite weight difference you can do well.
Against defence or stamina make sure to angle your launch downwards to be more likely to launch your opponent into a pocket.
Combos:
Attack: Dranzer S 3-60/4-60/5-60/9-60 Flat/LowFlat/Rush
Defense: Dranzer S 3-60/4-60/5-60/9-60 Needle
Weight: 7.1g
Design: 3-80 is a ratchet that has 3 sides and a tall height, the contact areas for the ratchet are 3 wide points.
No real difference in consistent stamina: You would need to balance tune to see if it matters or not compared to other sides like 5 sides or 9 sides, this is up to Blader since it is a case-by-case basis.
Strengths:
Three sides with wider hit points: The Ratchet has wider contact points compared to a four-sided design. Although it is wider and should be easier to hit, in reality, three sides make less contact to cause a burst since they are more rounded off.
Weakness:
Tall Height: It is important to note that being tall in the case of 3-80 does not mean pure weakness however it means to be careful how you launch. While 3-80's generally are tighter than 3-60's or even 4-60's/80's keep mindful of how you shoot with this.
Weight: 2.2g
Design: Taper is a Bit that features high Burst resistance and features a semi-flat with an indent on the bottom.
Strengths:
Great mixed stamina and attack bit for Beyblade X: The Taper Bit is similar to Flat where the design of this Bit is a semi-flat. So while it is still able to be used for attack getting that aggressive movement, you have greatly improved stamina compared to regular flat.
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 somewhat strong speeds and KO: The Bit excels in achieving somewhat high rotational speeds, making it proficient at knocking out opponents from the stadium.
Burst Resistance: Due to being a Bit with an 80 Stats in Burst resistance this makes this bit great to use due to minimal Burst risk.
Weaknesses:
Mixed attack potential: Taper can have the reverse issue of Flat, while Flat can kinda fail for stamina performance, Taper can kinda fail for attack performance. It requires a good shoot to make it get to a very similar performance to Flat when Blader is optimizing for the shoot. This is both a pro and a con, you get the benefit of more controlled stamina but less use of pure attack.
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 important when using this Bit.
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.
Overall
Dranzer is a remake that requires a lot of work to be used effectively but can work. If you want a blade that requires you to put a bit of elbow grease to be able to win or do crazy stuff then this Beyblade is for you. Otherwise, this Beyblade is a welcome addition to anyone's collection but not a must-have at all especially with how weak it is.
