I found Guard Draciel at my local Walmart, so like someone who would rather warm up with a nice appetizer or side dish before eating the main course I decided to test the Layer briefly before moving on to the Driver.

Draciel S Heavy Eternal-S vs Driger S Heavy Eternal
DcS.H.Et-S: 1 win (OS)
DrS.H.Et: 9 wins (7 OS, 2 Burst)
3 ties redone

Aside from being a little harder to burst than I expected, I was pretty unimpressed by Draciel S. Although it performed pretty much the same as Unicrest in the Attack/Defense matchup idk how much of that was the weight based setup doing the work. Xcalius seemed to have trouble moving G.Ω no matter what I put on top, so maybe something with more Burst Attack could deal with it better.

Sooo basically its not good just like the tt version.
