I do need to say that EWD is actually pretty vital for the Reviser Dragooon combo to work, but that is some great food for thought nonetheless! My launcher broke yesterday so I can't test until a new one comes in the mail, but I'll try that out ASAP. Someone should consider making a thread for it once they do more standarized testing if the test results follow this trend.

MSF Revizer Dragooon B:D v. MF-H Gravity Perseus (Stamina Ver.) BD145RDF;
RD: 1 OS
GP: 9 OS
Ties: 6
Gravity's RDF went crazy one round, almost self-KO'd, came back to the center of the stadium with hardly any spin, and tied. lol Dragooon's win was by, maybe, a hundredth of a spin.
MSF Revizer Dragooon SA165(Normal Mode)WD v. MF-H Gravity Perseus BD145RDF;
RD: 0 OS
GP: 10 OS
Ties: 0
I'm not sure if EWD makes that much of a difference, but yeah... I usually prefer MF-L on my Gravity.
A couple more things: VariAres beats a lot of things that Flash has trouble with like MF-H Gravity Perseus BD145RSF and MF-H Phantom SA165(Normal Mode)RDF, due to its aggressive design, so I think it should definitely stay up. Not just for the reason that it can spin left.
Also, 160 seems to be a lovely height on Flash in general, so I'll definitely try to get some testing in on that too.
I wasn't honestly aware VariAres could do that; I've always been in the boat that Flash is just straight-up better. I'll look into it once my launcher comes in.
That's actually intriguing, Flash + 160; I'll have to try that out too!

Flash
•Clear Wheels: Escolpio, Orion, Pisces, Horogium

•MF-H Flash Orion W145 MF
VariAres
•MF-H VariAres (CH120/R145) (RF/R2F/LRF)
Blitz
•Clear Wheels: Unicorno II
•MF-H Blitz ___ (100/CH120) (RF/R2F)
Note: this doesnt mean i want blitz to be on the top -tier list for attack its just an example... what i want is there to be a top 3 for every typeinstead of just the top 2...
Th!nk already touched on this, but the top-tier list is, in theory, only supposed to list the absolute best of the best. While Blitz is still an amazing attack wheel, it is simply outclassed by our other resident right-spin attacker Flash.
Just to give you an idea, if VariAres didn't exist, then the Attack section could theoretically only consist of a single entry (Flash) since it really is that much better than Blitz.

Does anyone think killerken dragoon should be on the list, because Ingulit must have left it out for a reason . IMO it should be in balance
Your point about E230 stopping destabilization is a great point, one that I hadn't actually thought of! I've always been a fan of Gravity BD145MF, though with the meta shifting from 230/TH170 for defense to E230 it will probably have trouble.
Angry answered this question perfectly: I didn't add it just because there isn't enough testing/tournament representation yet. In my list I mentioned that Dragooon is an amazing wheel and that there is some promising testing going on with it, and Killerken Dragooon is one of the things I'm keeping my eye on.
So, I already said this, but someone should consider either making a thread for Gravity BD145RDF or necroing the old thread if it exists since these tests are proving very promising. I actually personally prefer Gravity greatly to Meteo due to its versatility, and I can very much see a custom like that being on a tier list if more testing follows the trend in this thread. If someone makes a new thread or necros an old one they should quote all the posts in this thread about the combo in the other thread since it is very relevant information.
