Drain Fafnir, Tornado Wyvern, and Atomic Testing
[Image: QG4LvWJ.jpg]
BACK AT IT AGAIN WITH MORE TESTING
ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
Combos tested:
Drain Fafnir 2-Vortex Hold
Kaiser Kerbeus Heavy
Atomic
Tornado Wyvern Heavy
Atomic
They battled against these:
Dark Deathscyther Heavy Orbit
Neptune Heavy Revolve
Lost Longinus Quarter Hold
Stuff I used to test these:
- B-09 Beystadium (duh)
- Light Launcher w/Long Winder (with a beylogger plus on top for extra grip)
- Proto Launcher L (to more consistently get weak launches)
The right spin bey was always launched first, followed by the weakly-launched left spin bey.
Benchmark L2 tests because CONSISTANCYYYYYYYYY:
Lost Longinus Quarter Hold vs. Dark Deathsyther Heavy Orbit
L2QH - 8/20 Wins (%)
D2HO - 12/20 Wins (%)
And here are the tests themselves! (~now with nifty little spoiler tags so as not to clutter your reading experience~)
Drain Fafnir 2-Vortex Hold vs. Dark Deathscyther Heavy Orbit
dF2VH - 12/20 Wins (60%)
D2HO - 8/20 Wins (40%)
Fafnir won almost exclusively by bursting, but once or twice it would outspin D2? SOMEHOW? Idk, but I'm glad it actually kinda works against D2. I can see this being a good alternative to Minoboros, considering the only way to get it is in either an expensive reshuffle set or an expensive layer set.
Drain Fafnir 2-Vortex Hold vs. Neptune Heavy Revolve
dF2VH - 3/10 Wins (30%)
NHR - 7/10 Wins (70%)
On the other hand, Neptune did pretty well against it, probably because it's so freaking smooth.
Drain Fafnir 2-Vortex Hold vs. Kaiser Kerbeus Heavy Atomic
dF2VH - 7/20 Wins (35%)
K2HAt - 13/20 Wins (65%)
Atomic wasn't all that different preforming to Orbit from what I saw. There was still a little movement, but it was more due to the width of the ball as opposed to Orbit, where it would hit the ridges around the ball and go insane, so I think the stamina would be about the same to, but the free-spinning ring makes me thing if you combined it with Polish, you could get some crazy LAD. Other than that, Fafnir had a hard time fighting K2. Even then, K2 had always lost two or there clicks after it won, so it's a shaky counter.
Tornado Wyvern Heavy Atomic vs. Lost Longinus Quarter Hold
tWHAT - 7/10 Wins (70%)
L2QH - 3/10 Wins (30%)
I would have tested this against other attack types, but besides Longinus, my only other viable attack layers are a worn-down Valkyrie and a Blue Xcalibur that is permanently on the shelf because it broke and I didn't want to throw it out :')
To be fair though, Tornado Wyvern is a fairly effective L2 counter (prolly cuz of that free spinning ring lol), but it's easy to knock off balance, so putting Quarter, Polish, or maybe even Yell could help it with it's balance? Other than that though, the only other thing of note here is that the only reason this was a 10-battle test is because for every one round where there was a decisive victor, there were about five more battles where the outcome was a tie. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH-
Overall, I think Drain Fafnir could use a little more testing to see if it's actually any good, but as of writing this, I think it'll be a decent D2 counter at least. Atomic could also stand to see more testing, but from what i've seen while playing around with it, even if it's not as good as Orbit, it's still a passable defense driver. Tornado Wyvern is the only one I'm truly skeptical about. The fact it got off balance so much makes me question if the free ring will ultimately save it's performance when it's up against traditional attack-types.
