Now that I'm finally home for the summer, it's time for my first Burst thread!
Decided to do a little testing with Accel, Assault, and Zephyr to determine the differences between these three very similar flat drivers, much like I did with MFB. Hopefully these results and others in the future will help us determine the optimal drivers for various circumstances.
*Tests for other driver types coming later this week*
Stamina Testing (tornado stalling)
Notes: Light Launcher used with Beylogger attached at full power. Normal Launch.
Attack Testing
Notes: Light Launcher used with Beylogger attached at full power. Heavy banking.
Conclusions: Accel and Zephyr should be prioritized over Assault for tornado staller customizations due to the latter's noticeably worse stamina (most likely due to its greater surface area). I hesitate to make any judgements about the performance of the drivers on attack customizations this early on, but at the very least, I would personally avoid using the three of them over a rubber driver like Xtreme.

Notes: Interesting how much worse Assault fares against Wyvern when it comes to stamina, but not surprising due to it having a wider flat surface than Accel and Zephyr.
