-Recommended for collection only due to scrape risk and more favorable disc options

Pretty sure the 2nd point is false. Why did some people use zenith over even something slightly heavier like 0bump at time of cho z valkrie's release?

Drake might be better due to Blitz’s shape not having great synergy with the Judgement layer base’s 2 sided design.

It's really just up to the person. I can also imagine people defaulting to a painted 00 with a Frame like Dagger or Bump because it provides a lot of weight and also synergizes well with Judgement's shape.

Again, I don't think "synergy" or "aligning weight" is as impactful as you believe.. Blitz and 0 is still the top most used disc with Judgment, and not a single Drake seen being used in the winning list since June. 

"Synergy" or Aligning weight is an overhyped concept that has very minimum practical benefits, if there is even any, compared to the tried and true physics of being heavier. Unless Drake is proven to be significantly tighter than Blitz or 0, I'd very much rather take the extra weight, and increased stamina of Blitz instead of Drake.

If it is possible for you to align the weight without compromising other aspects too heavily, then it is fine. Dagger was often used with Dead Hades even if it is a lighter frame, for example.

In the context of this thread, Drake is simply outclassed since there are heavier and less scrape-risk disc and frame choices that can also align with 2 sided attack layers

1. We're not discussing Blitz
2. ChoZ Valkyrie works well with Blitz, but so does other attack layers including Judgment and Zwei. Blitz works great for attack mainly because of its good weight. so its not directly outclassed by 0 or 00 with frames (unlike Drake). Zenith would be a better disc to mention. It was never used despite being a triangular disc. 
3. 00, 0, and 10 is highly effective with ChoZ Valkyrie.
4. I already mentioned before that aligning weight is a decent idea as long as it does not sacrifice too much weight, stamina, and/or LAD. It is not the number one thing you should prioritize because its effect is minimal at best.

Well the only reason we use Blitz and 0(specifically the colored one) is because they stick to the Judgement layer base. So I don't think it's about the weight necessarily to begin with.

For Judgment, yes. The burst stopper is the main advantage it has, and fortunately 0 and Blitz, both very good discs, fit tightly on Judgment.

That is still irrelevant to the "synergy" argument, since it doesn't explain the lack of Zenith being used with ChoZ Valkyries, or Drake with Zwei.

About that, can we fix the wikia? The Zenith disc and Cho-Z Valkyrie pages both say that they must be used together, which is clearly false. Also, we should probably fix the Volcanic page, since awakening it does make it useful.

If I have to be blunt, the wiki has a whole bunch of outdated information. Its unfortunate since it makes it more difficult for newer players to know which parts to aim for.

For example: Trans is still considered a must have part for competitive blader in the wiki, while in standard format it has totally disappeared
Not sure if its still used in classic format, though
