==Description==
Brave is a Main Blade in the Custom Line that features three large blades in a triangular fashion similar to DranSword. Unlike DranSword however, Brave's blades are slanted upwards to facilitate Upper Attack and features cutouts to create a Downforce airflow to push the Brave combination into the Stadium and improve stability and grip.
The triangular shape of Brave creates three points of heavy recoil on each wing. Compared to DranSword however, Brave is much more rounded with less exaggerated and aggressive designs. Furthermore, while the blades can theoretically perform Upper Attacks, the design of the Custom Line means that the Main Blade is situated higher than the Blades of the Basic and Unique Lines and contact is more likely to occur on the Assist Blade when against BX and UX combinations which severely hampers the Upper Attack potential of Brave.
At 31.2 grams, Brave is one of the heaviest Main Blades at the time of writing. With the addition of the Lock Chip and Assist Blade, a Brave combination can easily be brought up to a weight comparable to commonly used Basic and Unique Line Attack Blades (Ex. The stock combination of DranBrave with the Slash Assist Blade can bring the Brave Blade to 37.6 grams, coming within 0.4 grams of CobaltDrake and outweighing DranSword by 2.5 grams).
Like other Main Blades in the Custom Line, Brave's performance can be augmented by different Assist Blades.
Not gonna say anything on how Brave compares to DranSword directly yet as despite the rounder design, Brave still weighs more than DranSword (With an Assist Blade) and weight is extremely critical in performance
