But at 50g, it's heavier than a lot of pre-4D MFB.
I think rapid eagle's AR is considered useless. Still, one of very few AR's that shares the same number of sides with the Star Shape WD (also useless).
But yeah, that lack of symmetry (and it doesn't go very low, does it?) mean it's not going to be very good.
Well, I tested it out after all...
I lack proper means to do it, i.e. top tier combos and legal stadiums. But still, I thought it would be nice.
Rapid Eagle's AR is extremely thick, which according to me added weight to it, and upper would have been possible...
But as you said, it doesn't go really low...
I used Penta Wing(R. Eagle) with SG Semi-Flat Base(Flash Leopard), which is probably the shortest base I own. It was extremely tough to control this bey's speed in the first place as my BB has actually been worn to the point of a Flat tip. Because of the speed, I usually saw Upward Smash in action against Driger V/White Gabriel/Master Dranzer and Dragoon F...
As this was certainly of no use, I tried lowering the speed of the launch. But that too, was pointless as Upper Attack needs a high spin velocity.
So finally, I held my Rapid Eagle at the center of the stadium with the help of magnets(its after about a year that I used my magnets in the magne-dish! ).
The result was, the best destabilizer wheel I have ever seen...
Other beys came near it (except Driger V, it had Magnecore South Core, which repelled), Rapid Eagle managed to lift them about 20% of the times, and if it failed to lift the opposite bey, it kinda stuck to the lower portion of the AR of the other bey, and completely destabilized it. About the lift, it was quite ordinary if compared to the one produced by Upper Dragoon. It seemed like it had scored a lucky hit. But yeah, destabilization was out of the world!
Unfortunately, I have no Left SG casings, hence the actual 'aim' of my test was not fulfilled...
Overall, not a completely useless wheel, but as Destabilizers are considered useless, it is useless after all!
It is kinda made for destabilization, as it has a somewhat jaggy appearance from the top.
