CobaltDrake

Based on Seiryu and a direct homage to the original Dragoon. The name “Drake” comes from an ancient term used to describe four-legged, wingless dragons, exactly how the original Dragoon was depicted.

It’s made up of four wide, slightly angled segments that resemble walls, each with upper reliefs depicting the dragon’s face in the classic Bakuten Bey style. Between them, a pronounced lower triangle is formed, while from the underside there’s a noticeable imbalance in metal distribution, as one wing has more mass. This creates natural instability in its spin. It’s a very heavy Blade, with a metallic blue coating in the original version.

The first—and most important—thing is to balance it correctly. Without proper balance, wobble will cut its spin time down to a fraction of its potential. Finding the exact balance point with the Ratchet is critical, since a poor setup drastically reduces spin time and overall performance. Ratchet 1 achieves near-perfect balance, unlocking its full stamina and allowing it to reach spin times comparable to WizardRod.

Once stabilized, CobaltDrake shines thanks to its outstanding weight, which lets it absorb recoil from its aggressive contact points. Combined with its excellent stamina, this makes it extremely versatile—on par with PhoenixWing, but with a slightly more defensive lean. The original blue mold is the heaviest and most efficient; the silver and red versions ended up a bit lighter, which hurts their overall performance.

Its smoothed upper surface lets it deflect attacks easily, tanking hits while conserving energy with great efficiency. In stationary play, it can act like a solid wall—opponents basically bounce off its faces, taking heavy damage in the process.

When used aggressively, those same walls become powerful push points for Smash Attack. If it manages to hit from above, the lower triangle can crush opponents with brutal force. On top of that, its slight angle gives it real Upper Attack potential, lifting rivals with ease.

While it doesn’t have friction points for wear-based play, its high stamina allows it to win long battles by steadily slowing opponents down with each impact. And to top it off, on counter Bits it performs great, unleashing devastating counterattacks by capitalizing on Xtreme Dash momentum.
