I'm testing the Impact Drake Blade a lot, mainly with 7-70R, but I don't know if there is a specific combination to maximize its attack power, is there already one?
Is there any combo to maximize the power of Impact Drake?

I would say 7-60 actually weighs it down and makes it slower. Also Accel and Gear Flat are still not the best bits, as well as Level why would I need stamina on Impact Drake when its a glass canon.
I came first the other day with 360 rush, while I don't think 360 is the best ratchet its certainly better than 770. Rush definitely, thought with drake you would want to be short but no you want to be the normal height

I will admit my brain heard "maximize" and ran with it, but I do indeed like the points you brought up!

He makes a really good point about needing to be light enough to move around!

ImpactDrake is already the heaviest blade in the game. And the weight difference between 3-60 and 7-60 is less than a gram. The movement speed difference between the two would be irrelevant. If anything, heavier is better in this context, as more weight means ImpactDrake suffers from less recoil and will transfer more of its energy into the defender.
While it is true that lighter beys do "move faster" its mostly an anime thing, and remember 90% of what the anime tells you is a lie. 0.7g is not going to make a real difference.

I have literally used it in tournament and can tell you the movement speed is more laboured. May not be because of the weight of the ratchet but its still slower.

I also believe that with the acceleration of the x dash that naturally makes the bey very fast, it is worth putting extra weight

Don't use mid or tall rachet on ID. Instead, try 4-60 or 5-60 rachet then for bit, you can Rush, Low Rush, Level or Taper. Use winder launcher for more rpm to maximize its recoil. I hope it helps.
