Impact Drake
punch
Weight: 38.5g (LOW END) - 39.2g (HIGH END)
Design: Impact Drake is four sided attack blade with large metal contacts that in the lower section features rubber exposed contacts.
Attack VS Attack performance: Impact Drake performs well in attack vs. attack battles, but it comes at a cost. It hits hard, but its stamina drains quickly. Your best strategy is to match or exceed your opponent’s launch power—if you go in with a weak launch, you risk losing because the rubber parts will drag it down instead of helping.
Attack vs. Defense/Stamina: Impact Drake is one of the hardest-hitting attack blades, making it strong against defense and stamina types. However, it burns out quickly, so you must go all-in at the start.
Stamina/Defense vs. Attack: Unlike Cobalt Drake, which had some defensive capability due to its shape, Impact Drake is not a consistent defensive option. While it theoretically could work in defense, its lack of stamina makes it unreliable.
Strengths:
Weight: One of the heaviest blades in Beyblade X that can have an advantage in Battle.
Smash & Upper Attack: Impact Drake excels in attack power, capable of launching opponents into the air, knocking them forward, or even sniping them with the Ratchet due to its low-height contact points.
Weaknesses:
Low Stamina: Due to its very aggressive and unbalanced nature, Dran Buster requires to be launched at a very high RPM to be consistent; otherwise, you will suffer greatly in stamina. Beyond that, its general stamina is not high. It is the purest form of an attack type.
Top Heavy: Due to the shape and design, this Beyblade will naturally, as the battle gets closer to the end, fall down because of where the weight is distributed.
Glass Cannon: While it hits extremely hard, it also has no stamina, making it vulnerable if it doesn’t win early.
Overall: Impact Drake is a fantastic addition to any collection. It’s super heavy, very strong for attack, and worth picking up if you want one of the hardest-hitting attack blades available.
Gameplan: Use low-height attack combinations and launch with full force at the start. If using taller-height setups, aim to destabilize the opponent with a slight downward tilt launch.
Combos:
Attack: Impact Drake 1-60 | 7-60 | 5-60 | 7-70 | 7-80 | R/LR/P/T
