Cobalt Drake 4-60F
BX-00
Rare Bey Get Battle
Not the Canadian Rapper
Weight: 36.8g (LOW END) - 37.4g (HIGH END)
Design: four-sided blade design with smooth but aggressive contact points.
Attack Versus Attack Performance: Cobalt Drake does alright in Attack VS Attack since it has a blocky shape you can sometimes deflect opponents and outlast them to the end game but other attack options are more consistent.
Attack VS Defense And Stamina: Cobalt Drake has a shape that is not too aggressive in shape it does alright for the hits that it can do and is fine against defense and stamina types.
Cobalt Drake On Stamina/Defense: Due to Cobalt Drake's round shape it is best mostly on defense combinations since it can work well to deflect opponents.
Strengths:
Shape: Despite being an attack type Cobalt's Drake shape is decent for an attack type giving it above average stamina you'd see for this type.
Smash Attack: Cobalt Drake is not really too too explosive against the current meta of BEYBLADE X as of March 2025, but it has the ability to shove opponents where it has decent smash attack.
Weaknesses:
Stamina: Drake is a top heavy blade meaning that all the weight is focus on the top causing the end game stamina to potentially topple over and fall down.
Gap: Like any blade that has this design flaw Drake is slightly exposed making it a potential weakness if not optimized correctly.
Overall: Cobalt Drake is a blade that has not aged the greatest while it is fine for attack or defense combinations it is not a must have if one is trying obtain it.
Gameplan: Drake is preferred to be used for low height, stamina, defense and PRIMARY attack combos for your setups.
Combos:
Attack: CobaltDrake 3-60/5-60/9-60/7-60/1-60 Flat/Low Flat/Point/Taper/Rush/Low Rush
Defense: CobaltDrake 3-60/5-60/4-60/9-60/7-60 Needle/HighNeedle/Under Needle/Hexa
Weight: 6.4g
Design: 4-60 is a ratchet that has 4 sides and a low height, the contact areas for the ratchet are 4 small points.
No real difference in consistent stamina: There doesn't seem to be a significant difference in stamina performance between the three-sided and four-sided versions of the Ratchet. Though this varies on combo to combo and should absolutely get tested if you are to try anything at all.
Strengths:
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.
Weakness:
Four sides with smaller hit points: The Ratchet has four sides with small square contact points compared to a three-sided design. Despite having smaller hit points than three sides it actually makes it easier to hit since it is not as rounded off meshed onto the ratchet.
Overall: 4-60 is OK but not too preferred compared to other more recent ratchets, while there might be some stamina advantage that should be tested combo to combo as there is potential burst risk, as such it is a welcome addition but not a must have if you obtain it.
Weight: 2.3g
Design: As Flat is well...flat its simple design works well for X for attack. Flat is a bit bottom that has a flat bottom with an indent on there, and features a stat of 80 for high Burst resistance.
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: Due to being a Bit with a 80 Stats in Burst resistance this makes this bit 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.
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.
Generally with Flat: You can do either flat shoot or tilt on case by case basis depending if you want to try to focus on the Xtreme Line to try and KO or try to destabilize and harm the opponent.
Overall: Flat is the go to for basic attack combos and does the job well enough, it is a must have for any bladers running attack combos.
Overall
Cobalt Drake is an alright release, 4-60 is not that special and flat is fine, the blade overall does not have much domiance in the Beyblade X meta but if you want a cool looking rare bey it fits that role fine.
