CobaltDragoon

It’s based on Seiryu, the Blue Dragon that protects the East, whose temple, Kiyozumi, is located in the city of Kyoto. This is a direct homage to Tyson’s Dragoon from the first generation.

It’s the first left-spin Bey of the generation. Its shape is close to a square due to its four long divisions, each with two main contact points: one at the front on the lower section, and another in the middle, with a hook on the upper part.

When viewed from underneath, you can see an uneven weight distribution, with more metal concentrated on one side. This creates a noticeable imbalance and wobbling during the final spins. It’s a heavy Blade with solid stamina when properly balanced.

CobaltDragoon is a beast in the stadium. Its high weight and clearly defined contact points turn it into a living wall, capable of stopping almost any opponent dead in their tracks.

In aggressive movement, it can deliver devastating hits, especially on high-traction tips that fully take advantage of its power. Interestingly, its natural imbalance makes it easier to “jump” the rail, recreating its iconic Dragonic Break from the anime. This is perfect for reaching opponents trying to hide on the opposite side.

On stationary tips, it’s extremely hard to knock out. However, as it reaches the end of its spin, that instability catches up to it. The wobble cuts its spin time and makes equalization harder, to the point where even Beys on flat tips can steal the last spin in these situations.

That’s why tips with strong “life after death,” like Elevate, are ideal. They keep it upright and turn that wobble into a final push that secures the win. In fact, this trait turned it into the natural counter to WizardRod. Still, it needs a strong enough launch to activate its equalization. Soft launches like in the Burst era just don’t work here. Its weight and wobble kill its spin fast if you don’t launch with power.

And since it’s left-spin, recoil isn’t much of a concern. This lets it run parts that would be easy burst risks in same-spin matchups.

Lightweight Beys on Elevate can give it trouble, since they don’t have enough mass to push it. Instead, they end up taking its energy head-on.
