Optimizing Courage Dran S 1-60R While Keeping Its Attack Identity

Been testing Courage Dran S lately and I’m actually having a lot more success with it than I expected. Current combo is Courage Dran S 1-60R. I know it’s not considered top-tier but I really enjoy the blade (it’s also just pretty to look at lol) and would like to keep its attack-oriented identity rather than tweaking it into something completely different.

I managed to get in some wins including burst finishes up against Wizard Rod and some other beys. It seems to benefit quite a bit from the lower profile with the 1-60 to counter its top-heaviness; I’ve also tested with 1-70R, Which performs well but 1-60R has been slightly more consistent.

For those who are experienced with this bey, what other ratchets/bits have you found that work best while keeping it low and aggressive? And are there any known weaknesses with 1-60R I may be unaware of that might show up over a larger sample size?

Not looking to turn it into a stamina or balance combo, just wanna improve overall performance as a dedicated attack type.

Thanks

Do you have the Jaggy assist blade? It helps it with more power
