Stone Face: CoroCoro Dragon
Weight: 1.22 grams
This Stone Face represents the CoroCoro Dragon.
Chrome Wheel: Dragooon
Weight: 30.90 grams
Dragooon is currently the only Chrome Wheel capable of left rotation. It can be placed with Chrome Wheels that spin in the opposite direction, but the combo it is in can only spin left if Dragooon is placed on top of the other Chrome Wheel.
With three heads, Dragooon strongly resembles most L-Drago Wheels, especially since it's a left-spin Chrome Wheel. Two heads circle almost half of its circumference in a lateral way, while one head is actually flat on top, offering relief slopes upwards only by its lower jaw and teeth. Two webbed wings also cover the rest of the design, with claws encircling the hole where the orb from the Crystal Wheel gets inserted. The sides of the Dragooon Chrome Wheel are therefore composed of the top of one dragon head, the sides of two other heads, the curved structures of the wings' fingers, and the straight ends of the membrane between them. In general, Dragooon consequently has four sections of similar size and shape.
IMPORTANT: Mold Variation
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It should be noted that there are currently two molds of this Chrome Wheel, which causes a slight difference in the part's weight that is physically visible underneath one of the dragon heads. The mold variation seems to have been distributed exclusively from TAKARA-TOMY, as Dragooons from both Hasbro and Sonokong have been found to be the heavier mold. In one mold, there are two indentations underneath the head, but in the other mold, there are no indentations, leaving the underside of the head completely filled in and therefore heavier. This mold variation does cause a difference of weight of about 1 gram, with lighter Dragooons weighing about 29 grams and heavier ones weighing 30-31 grams. Despite this, the mold variation doesn't affect performance significantly.
When used as the top Chrome Wheel of a Synchrom
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When placed on top of almost any other Chrome Wheel, Dragooon can deliver strong attacks, but its protrusions are small compared to other Chrome Wheels and thus it is outclassed in Attack power. However, this Chrome Wheel's capability for left rotation gives it an advantage over other, more powerful right-spin Chrome Wheels because it will not be heavily affected by Zero-G Attacks since it remains unmoved by their attempts to sway the stadium in the opposite direction. Its slight slopes can be used to attack opposing Beys and knock them away when used with low tracks, but this has not proven to be a reliable characteristic. Because of its high weight, it can handle Recoil very well when in Synchrom with rounder, smoother or heavier Chrome Wheels, giving it use in Defense customs. Dragooon has terrible balance, making it bad for Stamina, but its ability to steal spin up to an equal share gives it use in many useful Zombie Stamina combos. Overall, Dragooon has use in Attack, Defense and Stamina customizations and is a part of several top-tier customs for MFB and Zero-G, like MSF-H Genbull Dragooon SA165BWD. Thus, Dragooon is among the most useful top Chrome Wheels in Zero-G.
When used as the bottom Chrome Wheel of a Synchrom
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When on the bottom of a right-spin Beyblade in a Synchrom, Dragooon provides weight and small amounts of Smash Attack, but is an unreliable Smash Attack Chrome Wheel because its mediocre contact points are usually blocked by other Chrome Wheels. Also, its numerous but small protrusions are not usually enough to defeat a Defense combo that is heavy or has low Recoil anyway. Because of its lack of balance, other, more balanced Chrome Wheels, such as Killerken, are generally used instead of it. However, when on the bottom of a right-spin Synchrom, Dragooon's slopes face downward and can force opponents downward, destabilizing them, but this is not a reliable trait and causes Dragooon to lose Stamina in the process. Thus, Dragooon should not be chosen as a lower Chrome Wheel unless there are not any better options like Killerken, Genbull, Gryph, or Revizer.
When in Synchrom with another Dragooon
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When Dragooon is doubled to make a Synchrom, the combination becomes much heavier, and since it has a similar shape on both sides, its contact points are exposed well and it retains its Smash Attack ability. That being said, it also exposes much more aggressive contact points that are present on the back of the dragon heads. This allows for stronger Smash Attacks, but much higher Recoil as well. While this can sometimes be effective, the Recoil often proves too much for Dragooon to handle. Thus, there are better Chrome Wheels to be used with Dragooon with the latter on top, such as Killerken, Gargole, Revizer, and Wyvang, but Dragooon can still be used in Synchrom with another Dragooon to make a heavy, balanced combo.
Use in Zero-G Customizations
Use in Balance Customization
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Dragooon Chrome Wheel is an essential part of the top-tier custom ______ Dragooon F230CF/GCF. Dragooon's spin-equalizing capability combined with CF/GCF being some of the best parts for Zero-G Attacks and the stamina that F230 provides makes this combo one of the few that can consistently defeat almost every type of Beyblade. The wide disk around CF and GCF allows the combination to rest upright when its main stamina has died down, which in turn allows the upper section of F230 to keep rotatingindependently when both Beyblades have stopped sharing spin. It can Spin-Equalize to often outspin Zero-G Attackers or Stamina types that are hard to KO, and it is heavy and powerful enough to be able to KO Defense and Stamina types in the Zero-G Stadium and to defend against Attacks from a Smash Attacker. In order to be the most effective, though, the right launching technique must be used with this combo, such as Weak Shooting against Zero-G Attackers or Stamina-Defense or pure Defense combos, and launching hard against Smash Attackers. It should be noted that there are currently three molds of F230, an orange one from Bandid Genbull F230TB, a brown one from Thief Saramanda F230SF, and a red one released by Hasbro as part of the Golem Behemoth Earth Synchrome 2-Pack. The mold used can heavily effect this custom's performance, and the original orange one has proven to be far superior to the others in performance with this combo.
Use in Zero-G Defense Customization
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Because of its considerable weight and capability for left rotation, Dragooon can be effectively used to defeat right-spinning Beyblades in the powerful Zero-G Defense custom MSF/MSF-H Gargole/Killerken/Revizer Dragooon BGrin. BGrin's strong resistance to Zero-G Attacks combined with the weight and spin equalization that Dragooon provides makes it a very difficult combo to defeat, staying in place despite the swaying movement attempted by the Zero-G attack customizations.
Use in Stamina/Spin-Equalizer Customization
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dragooon's heavy weight and its ability to spin left also makes it useful in the customizations MSF/MSF-H Dragooon/Gargole/Killerken/Revizer Dragooon SA165EWD, which utilizes Dragooon's Spin Stealing abilities with SA165's increased weight distribution, round shape that helps it to roll after toppling, and EWD's high amounts of Precession.
Customizations for the BeyStadium Attack Type
Use in Balance Customization
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The combo ______ Dragooon F230CF/GCF has also shown to be very useful in BB-10 Stadium because of its ability to KO Defense and Stamina types, and its ability to outspin Attack types and Stamina types due to its Spin-Equalizing capability.
Use in Attack Customization
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dragooon is an essential part of the customization MSF-M Bahamdia Dragooon BD145R²F. This Attack combination in the BB-10 BeyStadium Attack Type has proven to have amazing Smash Attack. While few combos can knock out F230CF/GCF customizations, this Bahamdia Dragooon Synchrom can achieve this as well as defeat BD145- and E230-based Defense types easily.
Use in Attack/Spin-Equalizer Customization
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dragooon is an essential part of the useful customization Wyvang Dragooon SA165(Zero-G Attack Mode)R²F/LRF/RF. This combo is able to outspin many Stamina and Defense due to Dragooon's ability to spin-equalize and R²F's ability to Tornado Stall and can also knock out Beyblades with Defense Tracks like E230 and BD145 due to Wyvang's excellent Smash Attack capability.
Use in Stamina/Spin Equalizer Customization
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MSF/MSF-H Gargole/Killerken/Revizer Dragooon SA165EWD/W²D is also very useful in the BeyStadium Attack Type because it utilizes Dragooon's Spin Stealing abilities with SA165's high Life After Death abilities and EWD's high amounts of Precession.
Chrome Wheel 2: Gryph
Weight: 30.4 grams
Gryph consists of eight distinct sections, similar in shape to those of the Leone Metal Wheel. Four of Gryph's protrusions have spikes curved in a right-spin direction, and the other half of the sections mostly consists of straight boulders, like on Bakushin. One of the latter sections is however in the shape of an eagle head viewed from a profile perspective, with the orb from the Crystal Wheel showing on the left border of the head. Opposite of the eagle head, Gryph has one main contact point that helps to provide Force Smash, when used as a Synchrom Bottom Wheel; Upper Smash, as a Synchrom Top Wheel.
When used as the top Chrome Wheel in a Synchrom
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When used as a top Chrome Wheel, Gryph's compact shape makes it barely extend beyond other Chrome Wheels' circumferences. This means it can't make solid contact in most cases.
However, Gryph performs excellently on one Chrome Wheel: Pegasis. Because of the direction of Pegasis' smaller wings, Pegasis has more Smash on the bottom of a right-spin Synchrom customization. Gryph can fully expose those contact points, as well as help to increase the spin velocity of the combo. While this Synchrom isn't considered top-tier, it is a decently competitive substitute if a top-tier Synchrom is not available.
Gryph can be used in the Attack combination MSF-H Pegasis Gryph W145R²F.
When used as the bottom Chrome Wheel in a Synchrom
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gryph, similar to its situation when at the top of a Synchrom, does not go past many Chrome Wheels on the bottom of a Synchrom. However, its smaller diameter helps in two ways: an increase in spin velocity due to the concentration of the weight, and revealing the contact points of the other Chrome Wheel. Gryph can enhance the top Chrome Wheel by giving it a higher RPM, which will allow more contact points to hit. Gryph also has a good amount of Force smash, which can help when facing lower opponents. Despite this, it is still outclassed by Chrome Wheels in Synchrom with themselves, such as the Wyvang Wyvang Synchrom. If two Wyvangs are not at a Blader's disposition, however, it can be used as a substitute in combos such as MSF-H Gryph Wyvang GB145R²F.
When used in Synchrom with another Gryph
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gryph can fully expose its main contact points when combined in Synchrom with itself, which creates a powerful Smash Attack customization. It also has a lot of Force Smash, due to its large Force Smash slopes. Despite this, Chrome Wheels such as Wyvang and Begirados outperform Gryph for Smash Attack.
The Gryph Gryph Synchrom does find use in Balance customs though. Thanks to Gryph's Force Smash, it can KO Stamina Types when used on a high-Track Balance combo. When paired with the E230 Track, it can also outspin most Defense Types that have tall Tracks because of the grinding from E230's disk. Thus, combining it with E230 helps defend against attackers and grind down the stamina of Defense Types. On top of that, with the Bottom BSF, which has nice stamina while still having the tendency to roam around the stadium, Gryph Gryph has excellent use in the custom MSF-H Gryph Gryph E230BSF.
Spin Track: Switch Attack 165 (SA165)
Weight: 6.18 grams
Reminiscent of Armor 145, SA165 also has a wide, parabolic shape around its core which is completely hollow except for the rigid sides forming the parabola. This latter piece can be removed, flipped, and inserted back on the core of the Track to build another mode which is more likely to touch the stadium floor, especially in Zero-G Stadiums. The parabolic part is not perfectly smooth however, as it has linear ridges going towards the core, and its outermost circumference is full of small spikes, much like GCF. Its diameter is considerable though.
You can make 2 different modes in SA165:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------When the parabola is ascending, with its diameter increasing toward the top, SA165 is in Normal Mode. Its wide perimeter is closest to the Metal Wheel or Chrome Wheel and offers a reinforcement to it.
- Normal Mode
If the parabolic piece is flipped so that it forms a skirt that hangs over the Bottom rather than embraces the Chrome Wheel or Metal Wheel above, this Track is in Zero-G Attack Mode since it reproduces the wide diameter of efficient Zero-G Attack Bottoms such as GCF and CF.
- Zero-G Attack Mode
Performance Tip: WSF (Wide Semi Flat)
WSF is simply a Semi Flat Bottom with a slightly wider flat section, and with a wider base. In other terms, it forms a bigger cut cone than SF was. Two sets of spiky shapes are also on either side of the main tip part, possibly to create a relation with Archer Gargole, the Beyblade this Bottom was introduced with.
