Drift (ドリフト, Dorifuto) is a Performance Tips released by Takara Tomy as part of the Burst System as well as the Limit Break System. It debuted in Japan with the release of the B-175 Booster Lucifer The End Kou Drift on November 28th, 2020.
==Description==
Drift has a wide ring, akin to Defense and yard, and a flat disc with a sharp tip like its predecessor Mobius. It is also shorter than most tips, which like Yard and Eternal increases disc to layer contact and burst potential only slightly.
In theory, these features should give Drift a high centrifugal force and stability, in truth, Drift is more stable than Mobius as its shorter, and the smooth ring reduces scraping.
However, Drift really shines in spin equalisation combinations, as the smooth shape and POM material give it ridiculous amounts of Life-After-Death, outclassing most, if not all its competion, such as Bearing, Zone'+Z and even its predecessor. [font="Source Sans Pro", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Although it's wider plate makes it scrape less than other drivers and increases its stamina, that also heavily increases friction on the stadium floor, thus making Drift combinations move to the tornado ridge and become easy to self KO if not properly launched.[/font]
==Use in spin equalisation combinations==
Drift can be used in the spin equalisation combination Vanish Fafnir/Bahamut/Spriggan Giga/Over Drift -6/10/0. The rubber on Vanish helps spin steal while Vanish's weight and the teeth (rubber locks in Bahamut's case) give it decent KO resistance, while Giga/Over and 6/10/0 maximise its stamina and burst resistance. A right spin variant can be used with Dynamite(f Gear) Belial I/Spriggan/Perseus as the layer.
==Overall==
Drift's ridiculously high LAD potential makes it one of, if not the best drivers in the meta for spin equalisation.
As such, drift is a must have for competitive bladers.
