[Takara Tomy]  Grand/Rock/Ace Dragon Testing Thread

I just got Ace Dragon! Anyone got any recommendations for testing? 

I have most of the Cho-Z Beys except eF, vL, dP, CzS, wV, zA, bL, and Shining/Shadow Amaterios. 

Also I do not have Slash Valkyrie, or Bushin Ashura.

And I DO NOT have a Takara Tomy Atomic Driver so I can't do any test with that (if anyone else got Dragon and TT Atomic that'll be nice if you could :p )

I do have duplicates of some parts mainly Bump as it is competitive.

List of parts unavailable (most parts TT):
All Single/Dual Layers

All God Layers except Ark Bahamut, and Nightmare Longinus

All Cho-Z Layers listed earlier in this post

All Letter Discs except Sting, Zenith, Nine, Triple, Central, Boost, and Outer (I think that counts)

3 & 5 Discs

Angle, Flow, Hit, Proof, Reach, Star, Turn, and Wall Frames

All Dash Drivers

Slash Valkyrie, and Bushin Ashura's parts

And mostly Driver originating from Single, Dual, or God Layers besides Atomic, Bearing, and Destroy

Stamina mode for Xt+, and maybe Hunter and Bump on CZ-V.

Also, if you have CZ-A, is it alright for me to ask you to use that in place of CZ-V?

Ok I'll switch out CZ-A but I have no Hunter either xD (Note to self: make a list of what I have and don't lol)
A combo that is pretty decent from my experience is Ace Dragon 8' Meteor Destroy. So, could you do that against Revive Phoenix 0 Eternal?

Hmmm. Maybe CZ-A.00B.Ch?

I've seen a Japanese YouTube channel use that combo (and their stadiums aren't modified to my knowledge). So I'm interested in seeing how it fares.

If Charge doesn't work, Orbit is fine

The Cho-Z Achilles combo definitely has potential as long as you can catch your opponent near the edge of the stadium.

I have most of the parts from Dual/God/Chouzetsu, but don't have duplicate of: Outer, 00, Wall, all Dash Drivers, Quest, stock combos of Dragon, Valkyrie, and Ashura (as I only bought 1 each)

I also don't have Shining Amaterios (cuz too expensive) or Jolt' (yet)

I can try combos that will need Atomic (will specify which color was used too, so you'd have idea of the performance difference). I have tons of those due to bad kids opening up the tW RBVs to get the prize Beys in stores (so I was able to nab the other combos with Atomic lol), as well as buying 2 God customize sets and other sets that had Atomic.
Alright I think I'm gonna do a test of 2 of my own recommendations to get this going more

Ace Dragon 0Expand Destroy Zan vs. Orb Egis 8Bump Eternal

the AD Combo seems like an interesting one to face along with its tight teeth with Destroy. and I'm choosing the oE combo as it is one of my personal combos that is really good also with the fact that my Orb Egis has never bursted so we're gonna see what happens with this battle.

Round 1: AD Over Finish (oE launched first)
Round 2: oE Spin Finish (AD launched first)

Can you test gran dragon/valkyrie 10E ds' against pP/aH 10C xt+

It would also be awesome if you can test gran dragon/valkyrie 10 ds' against pP/aH 10C xt+
If you are wondering what is different,in the second test there is no frame for GD combo.

I only have one 10, I don't have Dead Phoenix so I can't do Perfect Phoenix, and I don't have Destroy' please look at the list of parts I don't have in the post so you know what you can choose from. Also what Xt+ mode?
