<br />
The Wide series of Weight Disks has three different versions that were updated as newer Beyblades were released. Chronologically, the first Wide WD to be released was Six Wide, followed by Eight Wide, and finally Ten Wide. The number before the word “Wide” on each WD represents the number of sides on each WD (ex. Eight Wide would have eight sides, making in into an octagon shape).<br />
<br />
*''Notes: The six sided version of the Wide WD is officially referred to as simply "Wide", but the word "Six" is commonly used before the word among Bladers to differentiate between all three types.''<br />
<br />
*''On Ten Wide there is notches on both the top and bottom of the weight disk (pictured to the right). On some Eight Wides manufactured by [[Hasbro]] however, there is one notch on the WD.''<br />
<br />
==Description==<br />
As the name "Wide" implies, the design of the Wide series of WDs is one of the widest weight disks available. Along with having a large diameter, the bulk of the mass on a Wide WD is visibly focused around the outside perimeter. In comparison to [[Heavy Weight Disks | Ten Heavy]], and even [[Balance Weight Disks | Ten Balance]], it is easy to tell the difference in weight. Most often, a Wide weight disk is utilized on both [[Survival | Endurance]] customs (as well as for weak [[Zombie | Zombie's]] for those who do not have access to [[Wide Survivor]] or [[Wide Defense]]). Besides its use in Endurance customs, Wide weight disks see extensive use on [[Smash Attack | Smash]] attackers. With the use of a Wide WD on a Smash attacker, it's overall movement range and speed will increase, which is needed to have the highest probability of knocking out the opposing Beyblade. Ten Wide is the heaviest out of all of the Wide weight disks, and generally speaking, is chosen over Six and Eight Wide when customizing.<br />

__TOC__<br />
== Attack Ring (AR): Upper Wolf ==<br />
<br />
* '''Weight:''' 6 grams<br />
<br />
The AR of Upper Wolf has three sloped spikes made for [[Upper Attack]] as its name suggests, however, it lacks the ability for any attack due to how short the projections are. There is almost no use whatsoever for this AR.<br />
<br />
== Weight Disk (WD): Eight Balance ==<br />
<br />
See [[Balance Weight Disks|Eight Balance]].<br />
<br />
== Spin Gear (SG): Right SG (Bearing Version 2) ==<br />
This SG is the upgrade to SG (Bearing Version) ([[Wolborg]]). It contains the same casing as well as a [[bearing]] and [[free-spinning shaft]], but the main difference with it is its shaft. Unlike the shaft of Wolborg, the shaft of Wolborg 2 has a rubber tip connected to it on the end instead of a plastic tip. This gives it the advantage of [[defense]] over that of the plastic tip. The use of rubber tips haven’t been commonly used for defense due to it’s dramatic decrease in its survival rate from the friction between the tip on the stadium‘s surface, but this is an exception since the tip is connected to the shaft. Normally, a rubber tip would just spin along with the rest of the BB, but in this case, the rubber tip keeps the shaft still while, but the bearing inside the SG allows the rest of the Beyblade to spin as it would normally. <br />
<br />
Another factor that the rubber tip has an effect on is the overall height of the Beyblade. This makes the Beyblade more vulnerable to [[Upper Attack]] customizations compared to a plastic tipped shafts. The use of this SG with Customize Grip Base ([[Dragoon V2]]) with a SP such as Defense Ring ([[Voltaic Ape]]) or Cross Survivor ([[Dranzer V2]]) can help to prevent KOs.<br />
<br />
=== Ruling Clarification ===<br />
Although the rubber tip may come off, the shaft can not be used without it.<br />
<br />
=== Placing Other Shafts in the SG (Bearing Version 2) ===<br />
You can place the shaft of [[Metal Dragoon Bearing Stinger]]'s Bearing Base 2 and Wolborg's SG (Bearing Version) inside the casing of SG (Bearing Version 2). However, the casing of SG (Bearing Version) and SG (Bearing Version 2) are identical; only the shaft itself is different. <br />
<br />
=== Use in Second Generation [[Zombie|Zombies]] ===<br />
An example combo would be:<br />
<br />
* '''AR:''' Tiger Defenser ([[Driger S]])<br />
* '''WD:''' [[Wide Survivor]]<br />
* '''SG:''' [[Spin_Gear#A_to_F_Series_Spin_Gears|Left SG]] (Bearing Version 2) ([[Wolborg 2]])<br />
* '''BB:''' Defense Grip Base 2 ([[Wolborg 2]])<br />
<br />
Although it was possible to use SG (Bearing Version 2) for [[Zombie]] customizations, its taller height compared to SG (Bearing Version) ([[Wolborg]]) made it more vulnerable to [[Attack]]-type customizations that could knock it off balance.<br />
<br />
=== Use in Third Generation [[Zombie|Zombies]] ===<br />
An example combo would be:<br />
<br />
* '''AR:''' War Lion ([[Galeon]])<br />
* '''WD:''' [[Wide Survivor]]<br />
* '''SG:''' [[Spin_Gear#A_to_F_Series_Spin_Gears|Left SG]] (Bearing Version 2) ([[Wolborg 2]])<br />
* '''BB:''' Customize Grip Base ([[Dragoon V2]])<br />
<br />
Customize Grip's capability to hold a SP made SG (Bearing Version 2) more usable. Although the rubber tip still increases its overall height, the SP can help it stay balanced against attack-types such as [[Upper Attack]]. customizations.<br />
<br />
=== Use in [[Defense]] Customization ===<br />
<br />
An example combo would be:<br />
<br />
* '''AR:''' War Lion ([[Galeon]])<br />
* '''WD:''' See [[Heavy Weight Disks | Ten Heavy]]<br />
* '''SG:''' [[Spin_Gear#A_to_F_Series_Spin_Gears|Right SG]] (Bearing Version 2) ([[Wolborg 2]])<br />
* '''BB:''' SG Bearing Base ([[Wolborg]])<br />
<br />
The weight distribution on this customization is centered in the middle which gives it a higher [[spin velocity]]. It also helps to improve the overall balance of the customization since SG (Bearing Version 2) normally has bad balance on its own.<br />
<br />
== Blade Base (BB): SG Defense Grip 2 ==<br />
<br />
* '''Weight:''' 10 grams<br />
<br />
This BB was primarily used for Second Generation [[Zombies]] because of how its BB was nearly in the form of a perfect circle as well as having a wider circumference than any BB capable of holding a spin free shaft at the time. This BB was later outclassed when Customize Grip Base was released due to its ability to hold a SP.<br />
<br />
== Other Versions ==<br />
<br />
* [[Wolborg 2]] - [[Hyperblades]] Version (Red/Purple)<br />
* [[Wolborg 2]] - [[Random Booster 6]] Version (Gold)<br />
<br />
== Overall ==<br />
<br />
Wolborg 2 contains some negligible parts such as the AR, which has no primary use, as well as the BB since it is out of date. The only part worth getting the Beyblade for is the SG that contains the bearing and shaft. The bearing and shaft is an essential part to get since it can improve a [[Zombie]] customization's defense due to its rubber grip tip which helps to prevent KOs. The only flaw with the shaft is, like any other rubber grip tip, that it can wear down eventually. It is key to having a mint tip for a better defense. Every blader should own multiples of this Beyblade.<br />

<br />
== Attack Ring (AR): Reverse Wolf ==<br />
<br />
* '''Weight:''' 5 grams<br />
<br />
Reverse Wolf has several projections that are facing counter-clockwise. However, these projections have very little effect. There is almost no use whatsoever for this AR.<br />
<br />
== Weight Disk (WD): Eight Balance ==<br />
<br />
See [[Balance Weight Disks | Eight Balance]].<br />
<br />
== Spin Gear (SG): Right (Bearing Version) ==<br />
<br />
* '''Weight:''' 6 grams<br />
<br />
This is the only truly useful part of [[Wolborg]]. It is the successor to [[Metal Dragoon Bearing Stinger]] in the sense that it has a [[free-spinning shaft]] supported by [[bearings]]. This system reduces the loss of spin that occurs when it is hit by another Beyblade. Unfortunately, in the trade-off of being able to replace the SG shell with a [[Spin Gear#A to F Series Spin Gears | Left SG]] shell, you can only place one bearing in the shaft casing. Metal Dragoon Bearing Stinger allowed for the placement of two. However, [[Burning Kerberus]] and [[Takara]]'s [[Zeus]] allow for the placement of two bearings.<br />
<br />
=== Mold Variations ===<br />
<br />
Many players complain that [[Hasbro]]'s tip of the shaft in the SG (Bearing Version) functions significantly differently from [[Takara]]'s. Tests have shown that Hasbro's version is far more aggressive. This has been shown to have a correlation to the condition of the shaft and the fact that [[Takara]]'s mold is considerably more pointed at the tip.<br />
<br />
=== Placing Other Shafts in the SG (Bearing Version) ===<br />
<br />
You can place the shaft of [[Metal Dragoon Bearing Stinger]]'s Bearing Base and [[Wolborg 2]]'s SG (Bearing Version 2) inside the casing of SG (Bearing Version). However, the casing of SG (Bearing Version) and SG (Bearing Version 2) are identical; only the shaft itself is different.<br />
<br />
=== Use in Second Generation [[Zombie|Zombies]] ===<br />
<br />
Originally, only [[Metal Dragoon Bearing Stinger]]'s Bearing Base was available for [[Zombie]] use. However, SG (Bearing Version) became a serious choice for many players.<br />
<br />
An example combo would be:<br />
<br />
* '''AR:''' Tiger Defenser ([[Driger S]])<br />
* '''WD:''' [[Wide Survivor]]<br />
* '''SG:''' [[Spin_Gear#A_to_F_Series_Spin_Gears|Left SG]] (Bearing Version) ([[Wolborg]])<br />
* '''BB:''' Defense Grip Base 2 ([[Wolborg 2]])<br />
<br />
=== Use in Third Generation [[Zombie|Zombies]] ===<br />
<br />
An example combo would be:<br />
<br />
* '''AR:''' Twin Horn ([[Gabriel]] <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[Takara]] Version])<br />
* '''WD:''' [[Wide Survivor]]<br />
* '''SG:''' [[Spin_Gear#A_to_F_Series_Spin_Gears|Left SG]] (Bearing Version) ([[Wolborg]])<br />
* '''SP:''' Defense Ring ([[Voltaic Ape]])<br />
* '''BB:''' Customize Grip Base ([[Dragoon V2]])<br />
<br />
=== Use in [[Attack]] + [[Survival]] Customizations ===<br />
<br />
Using SG (Bearing Version), you can build an [[Attack]] + [[Survival]] combo that can defeat many pure survival-types.<br />
<br />
* '''AR:''' Upper Dragoon ([[Master Dragoon]], [[Kids Dragoon]])<br />
* '''WD:''' [[Wide Defense]]<br />
* '''SG:''' [[Spin_Gear#A_to_F_Series_Spin_Gears|Right SG]] (Bearing Version) ([[Wolborg]])<br />
* '''SP:''' Defense Ring ([[Voltaic Ape]])<br />
* '''BB:''' Customize Grip Base ([[Dragoon V2]])<br />
<br />
== Blade Base (BB): SG Bearing Base ==<br />
<br />
* '''Weight:''' 10 grams<br />
<br />
Because the SG is separate from the BB, there is very little that makes this BB noteworthy. For [[5-Layer]] customization, [[Wolborg 2]]'s Defense Grip Base 2 is generally a better choice to accompany SG (Bearing Version). For [[6-Layer]], [[Dragoon V2]]'s Customize Grip Base will be the only choice.<br />
<br />
== Other Versions ==<br />
<br />
* [[Wolborg]] - [[CoroCoro]] Limited Version (Metallic Blue)<br />
* [[Wolborg]] - [[Phantom Force]] Version (Translucent Yellow)<br />

<br />
== Attack Ring (AR): Wing Cross ==<br />
<br />
* '''Weight:''' 5 grams<br />
<br />
Wing Cross is a strong AR because of its extremely evenly distributed weight, thin size, and smooth edges. It was previously commonly used among [[zombies]]/[[spin-stealers]] before becoming outclassed by other ARs, such as [[Galeon]]'s War Lion or [[Driger S]]'s Tiger Defense. Despite this, Wing Cross did not become obsolete.<br />
<br />
[[Bistool]]'s Wing Cross stayed popular in the [[10bBistool]] combo, and also in some [[compact]] combos. This AR has many uses in [[balance]] and [[survival]] type combos.<br />
<br />
=== Use in First Generation [[Zombie | Zombies]] ===<br />
<br />
Wing Cross was used as an AR in [[first generation]] [[Zombie | zombies]] (that is, before the [[S Series]] was released). It was used because of its balanced weight distribution, thin design, and because its projections (the attack spikes protruding from the AR) could be used to [[steal spin]], as they extended just beyond the reach of the [[Wide Survivor]] WD.<br />
<br />
=== IMPORTANT: Mold Variations ===<br />
<br />
The mold variation of the Wing Cross AR is what makes it such a popular choice. While the [[Takara]] version of [[Bistool]], [[Gekiryu-oh]] and Ultimate Frostic Dranzer, along with the [[Hasbro]] older versions of [[Gekiryu-oh]] and [[Ultimate Frostic Dranzer]] have thin spikes, the ends of [[Hasbro]] [[Bistool]]'s, [[Ultimate Frostic Dranzer]]'s (new mold), and [[Gekiryu-oh]]'s (new mold) spikes have been connected to the center of the AR, supposedly to prevent breaking. Because of this, Wing Cross's AR's new mold has become a far more popular choice than the older mold.<br />
<br />
If you wish to see combinations using Bistool's Wing Cross, please see the [[Bistool]] article.<br />

<br />
== Other Versions ==<br />
<br />
* [[Bistool]]<br />
* [[Gekiryu-oh]]<br />
<br />
== Overall ==<br />
<br />
This Beyblade was very useful at one point, but after [[Hasbro]]'s [[Bistool]] was released, there simply was not much of a use for it. Indeed, the only unique part of [[Ultimate Frostic Dranzer]]/[[Gekiryu-oh]]/[[Bistool]] is the Wing Cross AR, and the Hasbro Bistool version is stronger, both in terms of durability and use during battle. Because of this, there is almost no reason to buy Ultimate Frostic Dranzer. You should buy [[Hasbro]] Bistool instead.<br />

==Attack Ring (AR): Flying Defense==<br />
*'''Weight''': 7 Grams<br />
As the name suggests, the [[Takara]] version of Flying Defense is able to fly. [[Hasbro]] removed this ability and made some other changes. (For more information see Mold Variations below) The width of Flying Defense is 8.84 cm wide (3.50”) and is too large to be thrown out of stadiums such as the [[Tornado Balance Type S]] and many others. For this reason, it may be useful to use the Hasbro version with a low base, such as [[Dragoon S | Dragoon S's]] Storm Grip Base, so it cannot be knocked off balance by an [[Upper Attack|Upper Attacker]] easily. If this AR is on a tall base, it can get knocked off balance causing it to scrape across the stadium floor and stop spinning. Flying Defense is quite breakable which is another reason not to use it competitively.<br />
<br />
===Mold Variations===<br />
[[Hasbro]] removed the ability to fly as well as the three attacking points leaving a totally circular AR. For this reason, the [[Hasbro]] mold can be used against spin stealers when paired with a low base. See this example combo:<br />
<br />
*'''AR:''' Flying Defense<br />
*'''WD:''' 10 Heavy<br />
*'''SG:''' [[Spin_Gear#V_and_V2_Series_Spin_Gears|Neo Left SG]]<br />
*'''SG Core:''' Heavy Metal Core ([[Metal Driger| Takara Metal Driger]]) <br />
*'''BB:''' Storm Grip Base [[Dragoon S]]<br />
<br />
As it is perfectly circular Flying Defense is almost impossible to steal spin from.<br />
<br />
===Use in Attack Customization===<br />
Because of Trypio's wide attack range, it can be used effectively to some extent with an attack based BB in a [[Hasbro]] stadium.<br />
<br />
*'''AR:''' Flying Defense<br />
*'''WD:''' [[Wide Survivor]]/[[Wide Defense | Defense]]/[[Wide Weight Disks | Ten Wide]]<br />
*'''SG:''' [[Spin_Gear#V_and_V2_Series_Spin_Gears|Neo Right SG]]<br />
*'''SG Core''': MW/MG core <br />
*'''BB:''' SG Metal Flat 2 ([[Gaia Dragoon V]])<br />
<br />
This custom was primarily used to defeat [[Survival]] type combos in Hasbro stadiums. With a high movement BB, like SG Metal Flat 2, this combo will bounce off walls and push the opposing Beyblade into the pockets. Because of the size of the AR, it will not be able to KO itself. Obviously, this would not be effective against [[Defense]]-type combinations since they will be able to endure the hits. [[Attack]]-types are not this Beyblade's concern, and besides, experienced Bladers will usually not use Attack types in Hasbro stadiums.<br />

== Attack Ring (AR): Triple Wing ==<br />
<br />
* '''Weight:''' 5 grams<br />
<br />
The construction of Triple Wing mainly consists of three large spikes, with some inset notches strewn throughout. While the spikes are angled slightly upwards, the [[Upper Attack]] present is negligible. However, these spikes and notches make for excellent [[Smash Attack]].<br />
<br />
Triple Wing found its home among Smash Attack enthusiasts simply because it is so good and consistent at what it does. [[Recoil]] is a big problem with Smash Attack, but Triple Wing seems to rarely suffer from this. Enough surface area of Triple Wing is laden with attacking projections that it can consistently deliver critical hits and KOs to opposing Beyblades.<br />
<br />
=== Use in [[Smash Attack]] Customization ===<br />
<br />

<br />
* '''AR:''' Triple Wing (Trygle)<br />
* '''WD:''' [[Wide Defense]]<br />
* '''SG:''' [[Spin_Gear#V_and_V2_Series_Spin_Gears | Neo Right]]<br />
* '''SG Core:''' Heavy Metal Core ([[Metal Driger]])<br />
* '''BB:''' SG Metal Flat 2 ([[Gaia Dragoon V]])<br />
<br />
Using a metal tip and the HMC, this combo has a strong movement speed, but also has enough [[Survival]] to deliver decent hits even as it's slowing down. The heavy weight allows it to move to the center quickly, rather than wasting energy circling the outside of the stadium. Wide Defense is a perfect match for Triple Wing; the notches work to increase Smash Attack, and the weight being focused along the outside increases momentum.<br />
<br />
* '''AR:''' Triple Wing (Trygle)<br />
* '''WD:''' [[Wide Defense]]<br />
* '''BB:''' Grip Base ([[Dragoon Grip Attacker]])<br />
<br />
This combo is a bit riskier. Grip Base is incredibly quick and light, making it hard to aim and control properly. However, an early hit is almost impossible to survive. If your shooting ability is strong, you can make very good use of this combo.<br />
<br />

<br />
See [[Wide Weight Disks | Eight Wide]].<br />
<br />
== Spin Gear (SG): Right SG (Jumping Version) ==<br />
<br />
* '''Weight:''' 6 grams<br />
<br />
SG Jumping Version is essentially an incredibly long, extendable and retractable tip attached to a spring. It only functions in conjunction with SG Jumping Base, which contains a switch that sets it off and makes it jump. Otherwise, all you're left with is an incredibly tall, susceptible SG.<br />
<br />
== Blade Base (BB): SG Jumping Base ==<br />
<br />
* '''Weight:''' 7 grams<br />
<br />
Jumping Base is affixed with two wings that, when hit, activate a switch that causes the spring-force tip SG Jumping Version to be expelled from the base, causing it to jump. Unfortunately, the jumping gimmick is just that: a gimmick. It has no practical use whatsoever. The wings are incredibly susceptible to recoil and breakage, and the extreme height makes it incredibly easy to knock off balance. The best you can hope for is a very lucky KO.<br />

== Overall ==<br />
<br />
While the Jumping Base leaves a little to be desired, Triple Wing does not. It has been long regarded as the best plastic Smash Attack AR, with [[Driger G]]'s Upper Tiger and [[Dragoon G]]'s Eight Spiker sometimes moving in on that territory. However, nothing will ever change the fact that it is an incredibly strong choice for Smash Attack combos. <br />

==Attack Ring (AR): Whale Crusher ==<br />
<br />
*''' Weight:''' 8 Grams<br />
<br />
Whale Crusher is useful for [[Smash Attack]] as it has a very wide attack range. In left spin, Whale Crusher has the ability to perform [[Force Smash attack.]] Eight Spiker is generally a better choice, but Whale Crusher's weight and size may prove more suitable to your strategy. Whale Crusher in right spin can be used in [[Defense]] type customizations and has a slight amount of [[Upper Attack]]. The Survival of this AR is generally considered to be too low to be used properly in a Defensive customization and Smash Turtle is usually preferred.<br />

*'''SG Core:''' Heavy Metal Core ([[Metal Driger]])<br />
*'''BB:''' SG Metal Flat 2 ([[Gaia Dragoon V]])<br />
This style of attack is very risky as it generally has to win very quickly or it will just spin out, however the Metal Flat allows it to spin a little longer than if used Storm Grip Base.<br />

== Attack Ring (AR): Cross Spiker ==<br />
* '''Weight:''' 6 grams<br />
The Cross Spiker AR has 8 points of attack, or spikes, that comes out from the center. The four larger points have [[Smash Attack]] in right spin while it has [[Smash Attack|Spike Attack]] in left spin. The other four smaller points of the AR are in a triangular shape similar to that of the Cross Attack SP ([[Burning Kerberous]]). Because of how the smaller spikes get in the way, it if almost impossible for the Smash or Spike attacks to work efficiently. There are many better choices of ARs for Spike or Smash attacks.<br />

This is the reason why this Beyblade is worth getting. The Heavy Metal Core, or HMC abbreviated, weighs 9 grams making it the heaviest core by 3 grams outweighing the MG core. The HMC is mainly used in [[Compact]] or [[Defense]] combos because of its weight. In the Hasbro version, Metal Driger has been fitted with an Engine Gear.<br />

== Name Variation ==<br />
<br />
[[Hasbro]] released this product under the name [[Bearing Stinger]].<br />
<br />
== Attack Ring (AR): Scissor Cutter ==<br />
<br />
* '''Weight:''' 5 grams<br />
<br />
The AR of [[Metal Dragoon Bearing Stinger]], Scissor Cutter, is thin and light with decent balance. It is not useful for survival/endurance/stamina or defense purposes, but it has usage as an attack AR. The normal version is far too fragile to use, but the Phantom Force version is more durable. It can be used as an attack AR. Try it!<br />
<br />
== Weight Disk (WD): Heavy ==<br />
<br />
See [[Heavy Weight Disks | Heavy (WD)]].<br />
<br />
== Blade Base (BB): Bearing Base ==<br />
<br />
* '''Weight:''' 8 grams<br />
<br />
Bearing Base is the important part of this Beyblade. The tip of the Bearing Base is [[free-spinning]]. Because of this, when the Beyblade is hit by an opposing Beyblade, it absorbs much of the damage and does not lose spin as easily. The shaft of Bearing Base is held in place by two [[bearings]] (one of the two is plastic, but it can be replaced by NSK [[Bearings|bearing]]), an attribute shared only with [[Burning Kerberus]] and [[Takara]]'s [[Zeus]]. Because of these double [[bearings]], Bearing Base can regain its balance quickly after being hit. The tip of this shaft is very sharp and made of a plastic that has low friction when compared to other tips. It is one of the best tips for [[survival]] Beyblades.<br />
<br />
=== Mold Variations ===<br />
<br />
[[Hasbro]]'s Bearing Base has a slight but important difference. The tip of the Beyblade is slightly sharper and made out of a harder plastic, resulting in more [[survival]] potential, but substantially less [[defense]] potential.<br />
<br />
=== Using Bearing Base Shaft in Other Blade Bases ===<br />
<br />
An important trick to learn using the Bearing Base is that the shaft can be removed and put into the casing of [[Wolborg]]'s shaft. This will allow you to use Bearing Stinger's tip in [[5-layer]] combos, which affords you the advantage of using a left spin direction with this tip, along with using [[Wolborg 2]]'s BB. This can even be extended into making [[6-Layer]] combos, as the SG of Wolborg can be placed in [[Dragoon V2]]'s BB. Using this method, you can use Bearing Base's tip in conjunction with SP.<br />
<br />
=== Use in [[Zombie|Zombies]] ===<br />
<br />
Bearing Base was the only BB choice for first generation [[Zombie|Zombies]]. It was effective for [[survival]], spin-stealing, and life after death. Even after the first generation, the shaft of Bearing Base could still be used in [[5-layer]] and [[6-layer]] Zombie combos.<br />
<br />
==== Use in First Generation [[Zombie|Zombies]] ====<br />
<br />
Before the release of [[Wolborg]], the only BB available for players wanting to use a [[Zombie]] strategy -- or create any meaningful [[survival]] type -- was Bearing Base. The problem was that since this Beyblade did not use an SG, it was difficult to change its spin direction. However, using the AR of [[Roller Defenser]] in a certain fashion, players were able to change spin direction.<br />
<br />
An example combo would be:<br />
<br />
* '''AR:''' Roller Defense Ring ([[Roller Defenser]])<br />
* '''WD:''' [[Wide Survivor]]<br />
* '''BB:''' Bearing Base ([[Metal Dragoon Bearing Stinger]])<br />
<br />
==== Use in Second Generation [[Zombie|Zombies]] ====<br />
<br />
After the release of [[Wolborg]] and [[Wolborg 2]], players had considerably more options when it came to building [[Zombie|Zombies]]. However, Bearing Base's tip was still a strong choice. Neither Wolborg nor Wolborg 2's tips provide the same pure [[survival]] potential. Luckily, the casing for Wolborg's shaft allowed the Bearing Base shaft to be exchanged with it. Unfortunately, the ability to use two bearings is lost.<br />
<br />
An example combo would be:<br />
<br />
* '''AR:''' Tiger Defense ([[Driger S]])<br />
* '''WD:''' [[Wide Survivor]]<br />
* '''SG:''' [[Spin Gear#A to F Series Spin Gears | Left SG]] (Bearing Version) ([[Wolborg]])<br />
* '''Shaft:''' Bearing Base ([[Metal Dragoon Bearing Stinger]])<br />
* '''BB:''' Defense Grip Base 2<br />
<br />
==== Use in Third Generation [[Zombie|Zombies]] ====<br />
<br />
Even during the [[6-layer]] generation, Bearing Base's shaft could still be used to strong results. The trick is similar to second generation [[Zombie|Zombies]].<br />
<br />
An example combo would be:<br />
<br />
* '''AR:''' Twin Horn ([[Gabriel]] <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[Takara]] Version])<br />
* '''WD:''' [[Wide Survivor]]<br />
* '''SG:''' [[Spin Gear#A to F Series Spin Gears | Left SG]] (Bearing Version) ([[Wolborg]])<br />
* '''Shaft:''' Bearing Base ([[Metal Dragoon Bearing Stinger]])<br />
* '''SP:''' Defense Ring ([[Voltaic Ape]])<br />
* '''BB:''' Customize Grip Base ([[Dragoon V2]])<br />
<br />
== Other Versions ==<br />
<br />
* '''Bearing Stinger''' - [[Phantom Force]] Version (Clear Blue)<br />
<br />
== Overall ==<br />
<br />
[[Metal Dragoon Bearing Stinger]] is one of the most useful Beyblades released, mostly due to its BB and shaft. Unfortunately, it is also one of the oldest and rarest. Although the [[Phantom Force]] release alleviated this temporarily, it has now gone back to being practically impossible to track down. It is a shame, because it is also a Beyblade that ever player should own. '''Every player should own multiples of this Beyblade.'''<br />

== Attack Ring (AR): Upper Dragoon ==<br />
<br />
* '''Weight:''' 7 grams<br />
<br />
Upper Dragoon is the best AR for right spin [[Upper Attack]] (for Left Spin Upper Attack, please see [[Dranzer GT]]'s Triangle Wing). Just from looking at it, you can see why this is. This AR has slopes that slant upwards to lift the opposing Beyblade off of the stadium floor. When this occurs, the opposing Beyblade has almost no [[Defense]] ability. They can take critical damage from this, and can be knocked out of the stadium. The slopes are also very long, making it more likely to have a successful [[Upper Attack]].<br />
<br />
=== Use in [[Attack]] Customization ===<br />
<br />
For [[Upper Attack]] to be successful, the slope of Upper Dragoon must be able to reach below the opposing Beyblade. Because of this, using a low BB will make the attack effective against more Beyblades. The lowest BB available is [[Dragoon S]]'s Storm Grip Base. Combining these two parts, you can make an [[Upper Attack]]er that will repeatedly hit the opponent, reducing its [[Survival]] ability and possibly knocking it out. Here is an example combo:<br />
<br />
* '''AR:''' Upper Dragoon ([[Master Dragoon]], [[Kid Dragoon]])<br />
* '''WD:''' [[Heavy Weight Disks | Ten Heavy]]<br />
* '''SG:''' [[Spin Gear | Neo-Right SG]]<br />
* '''SG Core:''' Heavy Metal Core ([[Takara]] [[Metal Driger]])<br />
* '''BB:''' Storm Grip Base ([[Dragoon S]])<br />
<br />
=== Use in Specialized [[Upper Attack]] Customization ===<br />
<br />
A popular strategy with [[Upper Attack]] is to create a Beyblade that sits in the center of the stadium and allows the other Beyblade to come to it. When it makes contact, it will be lifted, dealt damage and tossed away until it moves back to the center again. This strategy leaves the opponent with nowhere to go, as the opposing Beyblade cannot make contact with you without damaging itself seriously.<br />
<br />
This Beyblade combines [[Attack]], [[Defense]] and [[Survival]] very effectively. It is hard to knock out of the stadium due to its weight and round shape, has good [[survival]] and attacks effectively with Upper Dragoon.<br />

<br />
* '''Weight:''' 7 grams<br />
<br />
Upper Dragoon is the best AR for right spin [[Upper Attack]]. Just from looking at it, you can see why this is. This AR has slopes that slant upwards to lift the opposing Beyblade off of the stadium floor. When this occurs, the opposing Beyblade has almost no [[Defense]] ability. They can take critical damage from this, and can be knocked out of the stadium. The slopes are also very long, making it more likely to have a successful [[Upper Attack]].<br />
<br />
=== Use in [[Upper Attack]] Customization ===<br />
<br />
For Upper Attack to be successful, the slope of Upper Dragoon must be able to reach below the opposing Beyblade. Because of this, using a low BB will make the attack effective against more Beyblades. The lowest BB available is [[Dragoon S]]'s Storm Grip Base. Combining these two parts, you can make an Upper Attacker that will repeatedly hit the opponent, reducing its [[Survival]] ability and possibly knocking it out. Here is an example combo:<br />
<br />
* '''AR:''' Upper Dragoon ([[Master Dragoon]], [[Kid Dragoon]])<br />
* '''WD:''' [[Heavy Weight Disks | Ten Heavy]]<br />
* '''SG:''' [[Spin Gear#V and V2 Series Spin Gears | Neo-Right SG]]<br />

* '''BB:''' Storm Grip Base ([[Dragoon S]])<br />
<br />
=== Use in Specialized [[Upper Attack]] Customization ===<br />
<br />
A popular strategy with [[Upper Attack]] is to create a Beyblade that sits in the center of the stadium and allows the other Beyblade to come to it. When it makes contact, it will be lifted, dealt damage and tossed away until it moves back to the center again. This strategy leaves the opponent with nowhere to go, as the opposing Beyblade cannot make contact with you without damaging itself seriously.<br />

== Takara/Hasbro Difference ==<br />
<br />
[[Takara]] released [[Jumping Base]] with only the BB, but the [[Hasbro]] version contains a Tiger Defenser ([[Driger S]]) as well as an [[Wide Weight Disks | Eight Wide]] in order to make it into an entire Beyblade for release.<br />
<br />
== Blade Base (BB): Jumping Base ==<br />
* '''Weight:''' 10 grams<br />
Jumping Base is versatile in the sense that it comes with three changeable tips (Sharp, Flat, and Round). The reason why the BB is not used is due to the combination of its light weight, height, and spring that makes it an easy target to KO. If it recovers from a hit and is not KOed however, it can bounce around in an attempt to stabilize itself which wears down its RPM. Its height makes it an easy target to hit as well and offers a weak spot if the spring were to be hit. This BB should not be used for competitive play.<br />
<br />
=== Use in Casual Play ===<br />
Jumping Base is not be able to jump the entire time, it can bounce a few times which produces a jumping effect. This can be used for [[attack]] since it has multiple chances to perform [[Gattyaki]] due to its bounce in an attempt to KO or even knock the opponent’s Beyblade off balance on every bounce. This is not a reliable BB in this sense due to the few number of bounces it has on the start. With each bounce even, the amount of force decreases until it stays stable along the stadium surface. Again, it is not recommended for use of competitive play because of its unreliability along with same reasons previously mentioned above.<br />
<br />
[[Compact]] customizations are ideal for Gattyaki. If you would like to try this out, here is an example:<br />
* '''AR:''' Tiger Defenser ([[Driger S]])<br />
* '''WD:''' [[Heavy_Weight_Disks|Ten Heavy]]<br />
* '''BB:''' Jumping Base (Sharp Tip)<br />
<br />
== Other Versions ==<br />
* [[Jumping Base]] - [[Hasbro]] Version<br />
<br />
== Overall ==<br />
Jumping Base has an interesting gimmick, however, this gimmick has no serious use in competitive play. Its light weight from being part of the 4-Layer system, tall height, and springiness prevents it from any usage. This Beyblade should only be worth getting if you are a collector. However, if you are in need of a Tiger Defense and are unable find a [[Driger S]], it would be a wise idea to purchase the [[Hasbro]] version of just to get the AR.<br />

== Attack Ring (AR): War Monkey ==<br />
<br />
* '''Weight:''' 6 grams<br />
<br />
War Monkey contains two parts: a main AR and the Sub-AR. The main AR is characterized by four small projections. These projections do not protrude much and posses little offensive power, but allow for low recoil. The main strength of this AR comes from it's harmony with the Sub-AR which is identical in shape to the Main AR. This means that the shape of War Monkey is that of a full circle enhancing many of its current defense attributes. <br />
<br />
Since it is free-spinning the Sub-AR acts as a shock absorber and allows the beyblade to take harder hits whilst reducing recoil and KO’s, making it is a very good choice for [[Defense]] customizations. The circular shape and free spinning attributes also allow War Monkey to have some spin stealing ability giving it some use in [[Survival]] customizations. <br />
<br />
Whilst a powerful AR; it is important to note that it falls short in many areas when directly compared to the top contender in this category: War Lion ([[Galeon]]). <br />
<br />

Galman’s War Monkey is bested in many categories by the more popular War Lion, found on [[Galeon]], but is a useful part and is a viable option for [[Defense]] and [[Survival]] customizations when War Lion is not an option. <br />

It is a beyblade worth owning for those with an affinity to defensive style Beyblades, collectors, or for those unable to get [[Galeon]]. Not a must-own, but still a good blade.<br />

==Attack Ring (AR): Panther Claw==<br />
*'''Weight:''' 5 grams<br />
<br />
'''Panther Claw''' is an attack ring that is similarly balanced compared to Tiger Defenser ([[Driger S]]) due to its relative shape to it. However, because of its longer projection points and heavier weight, its usage in [[Survival]] type customizations is easily outclassed by Tiger Defenser. One advantage that '''Panther Claw''' outclasses Tiger Defenser in is attack. In addition to it's [[Smash Attack]], the projection points are slightly curved which may allow some minor [[Upper Attack]]. Use this attack ring if it is necessary to have a more aggressive attack ring than Tiger Defenser on your Beyblade. Overall, this is an attack ring worthy of being compared to Tiger Defenser, as it has very similar properties, is a very balanced attack ring, and can be used as a replacement when necessary.<br />

* '''SG Core:''' Heavy Metal Core ([[Metal Driger]]) <br />
* '''BB:''' Metal Change Base ([[Driger S]])<br />
<br />
While this is not the ideal [[Compact]] combination that can be used, this combination is a result of the attributes that make '''Panther Claw''' special, which is that it is a very aggressive attack ring for a balanced attack ring. This combination stays true to the ideals of [[Compact]] with centralized weight and high [[spin velocity]], with the ability to switch to attack mode with Metal Change Base ([[Driger S]]) and an aggressive launch. <br />

While this is not the ideal [[Compact]] combination that can be used, this combination is a result of the attributes that make '''Panther Claw''' special, which is that it is a very aggressive attack ring for a balanced attack ring. This combination stays true to the ideals of [[Compact]] with centralized weight and high [[spin velocity]], with the ability to switch to attack mode with Metal Change Base ([[Driger S]]) and an aggressive launch. <br />

== Attack Ring (AR): Upper Claw ==<br />
<br />
* '''Weight:''' 7 grams<br />
<br />
The AR of [[Driger V2]] ws built for [[Upper Attack]] by having two upper attack ramp points. One problem with this AR is that the tiger heads on Upper Claw reduces the chances of the upper attack since they get in the way of the lift, but upper attack is still possible. With an attack surface that dips to the level of the weight disc, it it is able to perform an upper attack by lifting the opposing blade. However, the rather shallow lifting curve severely limits the lifting potential of this AR, and was generally outclassed by other upper attackers. However, the amount of upper attack on this AR can be improved by combination with its SP Upper Attack. It would be unwise to use this AR without the Upper Attack SPs.<br><br />

<br />
== Support Part(SP): Upper Attack ==<br />
<br />
* '''Weight:''' 4 grams<br />
<br />
Upper Attack is the heaviest SP. Like with its AR Upper Claw, it is built for Upper Attack because of its ramp like shape. The problem with Upper Claw was that it was built for upper attack, but it wasn't steep enough on its own to have an efficient upper attack. It was solved when it was used with the Upper Attack SP which is twice as long as the AR's slopes. When used together, the SP would extend the Beylade's overall slopes or ramps by 200% allowing for an efficient upper attack.<br><br />
<br />
The Upper Attack can also be inverted like other SPs, but it requires either a [[Heavy Weight Disks | Heavy (WD)]] or a [[Balance Weight Disks | Balance (WD)]] to use it.<br />
<br />
===Use in [[Upper Attack]] Combinations===<br />
Unlike with Upper Claw on the other hand, the Upper Attack SP can be efficient on its own not relying on another part. Since Upper Claw is a support part, it has the advantage over Upper Attack ARs in terms of having a lower starting ramp point. Because of this, the SP can serve as the main point of attack instead of having the AR do that. Here is an example of how the Upper Attack SPs can be used on its own without the AR being the main attack part.<br />
<br />
* '''AR:''' Trycutter ([[Polta]])<br />
* '''WD:''' [[Heavy Weight Disks | Ten Heavy]]<br />
* '''SG:''' [[Spin_Gear#A_to_F_Series_Spin_Gears|Right SG]]<br />
* '''SG Shaft:''' Full Auto Clutch ([[Driger F]])*<br />
* '''SP:''' Upper Attack ([[Driger V2]])<br />
* '''BB:''' Customize Grip ([[Dragoon V2]])<br />
<br />
In order to focus on attacking with the support part only, smaller parts aside from the SP and BB must be used thus the reasoning for the use of a small AR such as Try Cutter ([[Polta]]). A Ten Heavy is used because it is fairly compact with a reasonable amount of weight to control the SG. The SG uses the shaft from [[Driger F]] because it is fast. <br />
<br />
''* '''Note''' refer to [[Dragoon V2#Adding_a_Different_SG|Adding a Different SG]] if you do not know how to setup the SG.''<p><br />
<br />
== Blade Base (BB): Customize Change ==<br />
<br />
* '''Weight:''' 7 grams<br />
<br />
The Customize Change BB is the updated version of SG Metal Change ([[Driger S]]). It still has the same metal change tip that allows it switch modes depending on the angle the tip is at. The main difference is that it is taller, weighs 2 grams more, and has the ability to have an SP with it which determines its uses. Though it might seem ideal for [[compact]] customization since more significant weight can be added on, it is not since the BB is taller which causes it to lose balance more and that most of the smaller, compact SPs are not shaped roundly to be [[compact]] for this kind of customization. Despite having more features, it doesn't outshine Metal Change Base (Driger S).<br />
<br />
Another main problem with this BB is the general height of it when used with the Upper Attack SPs. Even though it is taller than Metal Change Base (Driger S), the Upper Attack SP often touches the stadium or tornado ridges when in attack mode causing it to lose spin.<br />

Driger V2 uncustomized is a very balanced Beyblade. It can go on the offense, the defense, or even try to out last the opposing Beyblade all depending on how it is launched. Although the Upper Claw AR is considered inferior to Triple Claw ([[Driger G]]), it still has its uses with its Upper Attack SP. This is a very unique Beyblade, but it's worth buying on a moderate level.<br />

==Attack Ring (AR): Double Wing==<br />
*Weight: 4 grams<br />
<br />
This Attack Ring has two wings on either side that are designed for [[Smash Attack]] in left spin. Unfortunately, the Attack Ring is outclassed by others such as Eight Spiker ([[Dragoon G]]) and has too much recoil for competitive use.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Weight Disk (WD): 8 Balance==<br />
See [[Balance Weight Disks| Eight Balance]]<br />
<br />
==Spin Gear (SG): Right SG (Free Shaft Version)==<br />
*Weight: 6 grams<br />
<br />
This Spin Gear has casings that hold a metal sharp tip and a metal bearing inside. The casings can also be used to hold [[Driger F]]'s tip inside and allows the tip to be used in many smash attack customizations.<br />
<br />
===Use in [[Smash Attack]] Customization===<br />

*'''SG Tip:''' [[Driger F]]'s<br />
*'''SP:''' Fin Tector ([[Draciel V2]])<br />
*'''BB:''' Customize Grip ([[Dragoon V2]])<br />
<br />
This customization uses the casings to their fullest. The metal flat tip increases movement. It is best when used with the [[Sliding Shoot]] since the the tip makes the Beyblade very hard to control otherwise.<br />
<br />
==Blade Base (BB): Spiral Change Base==<br />
*Weight: 7 grams<br />
<br />
This blade base can only hold Right SG (Free Shaft Version). The bottom of the base can be pushed in and turned before battle to have either a metal sharp tip or plastic flat tip. '''Spiral Change Base''' has great life-after-death ability when used in the plastic flat tip mode and can be used instead of a bearing tip and is able to tie or beat one, even when used in the opposite spin direction. <br />

*'''WD:''' Wide Survivor<br />
*'''SG:''' [[Spin_Gear#A_to_F_Series_Spin_Gears|Right SG]] (Free Shaft Version)<br />

==Attack Ring (AR): Flame Wing==<br />
*'''Weight''': 5 grams<br />
<br />
'''Flame Wing''' is a multi-attack style ring capable of both [[Upper Attack]] and [[Smash Attack]]. Unfortunately its ‘Jack of All Trades’ design tends to give it more setbacks than advantages. The sources of its [[Smash Attack]] are the two blunt notches on the end of the spikes. Upon contact these notches have the potential to cause significant damage to its opponent in right spin. These protruding notches are also the source for the AR’s main weakness; durability. Like many Smash attackers, '''Flame Wing''' is fragile and the notches have a tendency to break off with constant use. <br />
<br />
Since the spikes are angled upwards it is capable of [[Upper Attack]]. The upper attack however is inferior to a lot of the competition ([[Kid Dragoon |Upper Dragoon]], [[Driger G |Triple Tiger]]). The cause of this is the smaller angle of the slope (around 10 degrees) compared to '''Upper Dragoon'''’s 15 degrees (Right Spin). This is an AR that should be used when superior [[Upper Attack]] or [[Smash Attack]] AR’s are unavailable. <br />

<br />
*'''AR''': Flame Wing<br />
*'''WD''': 10 Wide<br />
*'''BB''': Grip Base ([[Dragoon Grip Attacker]])<br />

This combination is lightweight, resulting in high speeds. The fast movement can be hard to control, unless a shooting technique such as the [[Sliding Shoot]] is employed. Use of this technique improves the chances of performing an early KO.<br />

==Spin Gear (SG): Right SG (Triple Change Version)==<br />
*'''Weight''': 5 grams<br />
<br />
'''SG Triple Change Version''' can only be used with '''Flame Change Base'''. Its casing houses a triple-tipped plastic piece, which when pulled down allows the player to change between flat, sharp, and semi-flat tips. While this tip adds versatility, and acts as a good practice base for newer players; problems emerge. First, while able to use three different tips with three different battle styles; it isn’t able to do any of them very well since the SG is too tall. Second, there is a manufacturing flaw with many of the SG’s that make the triple-tipped plastic piece too loose to stay on one tip. So during a battle it can get stuck between two of them, significantly reducing endurance and costing the player the match. This unreliability automatically disqualifies it from being a serious choice for many competitive players; but as mentioned before, newer players might find this useful to practice with. <br />

== Attack Ring (AR): Spike Dragon ==<br />
* '''Weight:''' 6 grams<br />
<br />
The AR of [[Dragoon V2]] is just average for [[attack]] type combinations when in left spin. It is decent in weight, due to its thickness, and its four attack points stick out more compared to other ARs giving it more range. It can be used in [[Smash Attack | Smash]] combinations, but the only problem with it is the amount of recoil given off when in contact with another Beyblade due to how the four attack points on the AR have straight edges. The recoil, although strong, can work in the favor of either player because it can either KO the opposing blade or KO itself out. It is possible to use it in a [[OHKO]] combination.<br />
<br />
=== Use in [[OHKO]] Combos ===<br />
As stated before, the amount of smash on Spike Dragon is high which can be useful in a [[OHKO]] combination. Here is an example:<br />
<br />
* '''AR:''' Spike Dragon ([[Dragoon V2]])<br />
* '''WD:''' [[Heavy Weight Disks | Ten Heavy]]<br />
* '''SG:''' [[Spin Gear#V and V2 Series Spin Gears | Neo-Left SG]]<br />
* '''BB:''' [[SG Metal Flat 2]] ([[Gaia Dragoon V]])<br />
<br />
With OHKO combinations, the sole purpose if to KO the opponent's Beyblade with one hit alone. In this combo, the [[Heavy Weight Disks | Ten Heavy]] WD works together with the SG to control recoil by weighing itself down after contact. Aside by using the Ten Heavy for control, it also exposes how much of each four attack point sticks out making a more forceful hit. Finally, the BB is to allows faster movements along with being average in height.<br />
<br />
== Weight Disk (WD): MG WD ==<br />
See [[MG WD]]<br />
<br />
== Spin Gear (SG): Neo Left SG (S-MG Core) ==<br />
See [[Spin Gear#V and V2 Series Spin Gears | Neo Left SG]]<br />
<br />
== Support Part (SP): Reverse Attack ==<br />
<br />
* '''Weight:''' 2 grams<br />
<br />
Reverse Attack in combination with its BB was indeed an upgrade from the Magne Flat BB ([[Dragoon V]]). Like most SPs, the Reverse Attack SP are interchangeable to face either left or right. Depending on the the direction of spin and position of the SP, it can function as an additional [[Smash Attack | Smash]] part or either a deflector. However, there is not much use for this SP due the release of other parts.<br />
<br />
== Blade Base (BB): Customize Grip ==<br />
<br />
* '''Weight:''' 7 grams<br />
<br />
The BB of [[Dragoon V2]] is called Customized Grip for a reason. Though it is initially thought to be used only for [[attack]] type combinations, which it can be used in, it can also serve as a base for defense or endurance type combinations as well with just the removal of the tip. In addition to the numerous amounts of bearing based SGs that can be used with this BB, any other SP can be used as well giving endless combinations with just the BB alone. Because of this, Customize Grip helped improved [[zombie]] type Beyblades dramatically changing the game by having the option of such support parts along with the choice of a SG with a bearing inside.<br />
<br />
The tip of this BB, like other Dragoons, is made of rubber. Similar to [[Dragoon V]], there is a small magnet inside of the tip which was meant for a Magnacore based stadium.<br />
<br />
=== Adding a Different SG ===<br />
Not all bearing based SGs can just fit into the Customize Grip Base, however, it is possible to make it happen. This can also be done with Fortress Base ([[Draciel F]])<br />
<br />
----<br />
'''1. Select a SG shell''' <br><br />
This will account for the direction of spin<br />
<br />
* '''[[Spin Gear#A to F Series Spin Gears | Right SG]]''' <br />
* '''Left SG''' <br />
* '''[[Spin Gear#V and V2 Series Spin Gears | Neo-Right SG]]''' <br />
* '''Neo-Left SG''' <br><br />
<br />
'''2. Pick a bearing case'''<br><br />
This will determine the number of bearings inside of the SG<br />
<br />
* '''[[Dranzer S]]''' (One Bearing)<br />
* '''[[Wolborg]]''' (One Bearing)<br />
* '''[[Wolborg 2]]''' (One Bearing)<br />
* '''[[Burning Kerberous]]''' (Two Bearings)<br />
<br />
It's limited to those choices due to them being the only ones to fit inside. The bearing cases of [[Dranzer S]], [[Wolborg]], and [[Wolborg 2]] are the same.<br />
<br />
'''3. Pick a Shaft'''<br />
* '''[[Dranzer S]]''' <br />
* '''[[Driger F]]''' <br />
* '''[[Wolborg]]''' <br />
* '''[[Wolborg 2]]''' <br />
* '''[[Burning Kerberous]]''' <br />
----<br />
<br />
===Use in [[Upper Attack]] Combinations===<br />
''* '''Note''' refer to [[Dragoon V2#Adding_a_Different_SG|Adding a Different SG]] if you do not know how to setup the SG.''<p><br />
<br />
It is possible to have an [[upper attack]] combination using Customize Grip Base.<br />
<br />
* '''AR:''' Upper Claw ([[Driger V2]])<br />
* '''WD:''' [[Heavy Weight Disks | Ten Heavy]]<br />
* '''SG:''' [[Spin_Gear#A_to_F_Series_Spin_Gears|SG Bearing]] ([[Wolborg]])<br />
* '''SG Shaft:''' Full Auto Clutch ([[Driger F]])<br />
* '''SP:''' Upper Attack ([[Driger V2]])<br />
* '''BB:''' [[Customize Grip]] ([[Dragoon V2]])<br />
<br><br />
Due to the height of Customize Grip, the Upper Claw AR (Driger V2) and Upper Attack SP (Driger V2) can work together to execute the upper attack thoroughly. The Shaft from [[Driger F]] is known to be agressive because of the amount of power and speed it has, but it is maintained by the Ten Heavy.<br />
<br />
===Use in [[Defense]] Customizations ===<br />
''* '''Note''' refer to [[Dragoon V2#Adding_a_Different_SG|Adding a Different SG]] if you do not know how to setup the SG.''<br />
<br />
As stated before, it is possible to make a [[defense]] type combinations by using Customize Grip. Here is an example of one:<br />
<br />
* '''AR:''' War Lion ([[Galeon]])<br />
* '''S-AR:''' War Lion (Galeon)<br />
* '''WD:''' [[Wide Defense]]<br />
* '''SG:''' [[Spin Gear#V and V2 Series Spin Gears | Neo-Right SG]] (Customize Bearing) ([[Burning Kerberous]])<br />
* '''SG Shaft:''' (Bearing Version 2) ([[Wolborg 2]])<br />
* '''SP:''' Defense Ring ([[Voltic Ape]])<br />
* '''BB:''' Customize Grip ([[Dragoon V2]])<br />
<br />
This combination is built to take a numerous amount of hard hits due to how circular in shape the parts are together. Customize Grip is able to use both the Defense Ring and the Customize Bearing SG allowing an opportunity for defense on the bottom half of the combination. In addition, War Lion nearly aligns with Wide Defense allowing the remainder of the top section to be defensive. Customize Bearing with the shaft of Wolborg 2 is used to limit its movement to the center area of the [[stadium]] to avoid a KO when [[attack]] type combinations are at their strongest moving around the outer side of the stadium.<br />
<br />
===Use in [[Spin Stealing]]/[[Zombie]] Customizations ===<br />
''* '''Note''' refer to [[Dragoon V2#Adding_a_Different_SG|Adding a Different SG]] if you do not know how to setup the SG.''<br />
<br />
[[Spin Stealers]] and [[Zombie]] Beyblades received a weight advantage with the release of [[Dragoon V2]], but when other [[support parts]] were released such as Defense Ring ([[Voltic Ape]]) and Cross Survivor ([[Dranzer V2]]), they became [[tier 1]].<br />
<br><br />
<br />
Here is an example of a [[Spin Stealers]]/[[Zombie]]:<br />
<br />
* '''AR:''' Tiger Defense ([[Driger S]])<br />
* '''WD:''' [[Wide Survivor]]<br />
* '''SG:''' [[Spin Gear#V and V2 Series Spin Gears | Neo-Left SG]]* (Customize Bearing) ([[Burning Kerberous]])<br />
* '''SG Shaft:''' SG (Bearing Version) ([[Wolborg]])<br />
* '''SP:''' Defense Ring ([[Voltaic Ape]])<br />
* '''BB:''' Customize Grip ([[Dragoon V2]])<br />
<br />
Because of Customize Grip's ability to hold a SP, [[life after death]] was able to occur more often due to shape of the SP.<br />

== Overall ==<br />
[[Dragoon V2]] was one of the earlier Beyblades that introduced the players into the V2 generation with the use of support parts. Uncustomized, it it just an average blade. The Spike Dragon AR may seem useless, but it's the BB that makes this Beyblade worth buying. With the ability to hold both a SG with a bearing and shaft and a SP, Dragoon V2 helped change the game by improving both [[Spin Stealers]] and [[Zombie]] types allowing them to become [[tier 1]]. Dragoon V2 also comes with a [[MG WD]] (also available in [[Voltaic Ape]] and the [[Magnacore Accessory Pack]]) which has several uses.<br />

<br />
==Attack Ring (AR): G Upper== <br />
* '''Weight:''' 7 grams<br />
<br />
The AR of Dragoon GT was built for [[Upper Attack]]. It has four ramps which allow for a wide range of reach. <br />
When used un-customized, the height of the blade itself makes this negligible. <br />
Another affecting factor is that the rather shallow lifting curve limits the lifting potential of this AR, and it was generally allowed to be outclassed by other parts. However, when used in Right Spin this part has some amount of [[Force Smash]] as well.<br />
<br />
==Weight Disk (WD): Ten Wide==<br />
See [[Wide Weight Disks | Ten Wide]]<br />
<br />
==Spin Gear (SG): Left Engine Gear (Turbo)== <br />
The "Turbo" EG Version is a successor to the Normal EG Version as it provides a release four times stronger than before. <br />
This makes it very valuable in the EG type tier. Here is an Example Customization:<br />
<br />
*'''AR:''' 8 Spiker (Dragoon G)<br />
*'''WD:''' [[Wide Defense]]<br />
*'''SG:''' [[Spin_Gear#G_and_GT_Series_Spin_Gears|Left Engine Gear (Turbo)]]<br />
*'''BB:''' First Clutch Base (Dragoon G Version)<br />
*'''CEW:''' Metal Semi-Flat<br />
<br />
==Customize Engine Weight (CEW):Metal Grip==<br />
The Metal Grip CEW is not very useful for an Attacker as it slows down movement through its heavy weight. <br />
This also causes much of the EG power to be hindered with. <br />
However, when changed to the Metal Semi-Flat part the performance will become slightly more satisfactory.<br />
<br />
==Blade Base (BB): First Clutch Base (Dragoon GT Version)==<br />
* '''Weight:''' 7 grams<br />
<br />
This BB allows the EG to release at the immediate start of battle. <br />
Due to a secondary AR attached onto this, [[Smash Attack]] capabilities are also present. The recoil, although strong, can work in the favour of either player because it can either KO the opposing blade or KO itself. This also makes it very prone to breakage.<br />
<br />
==Other Versions==<br />
* '''Dragoon GT''' (Special Starter set (Black))<br />
<br />
==Overall== <br />
Other than the SG (which was a must have in the EG generation), there is no real justification for use of this Beyblade.<br />

== Attack Ring (AR): Cross Spike ==<br />
<br />
* '''Weight:''' 5 grams<br />
<br />
Cross Spike’s overall general shape is in the form of a square. It has four projected turtle heads along with multiple flat spikes along it. This AR has no real use because of its shape and flat spikes that knock it off balance while spinning. <br />

* '''Weight of BB with 2 sets of [[metal balls]]:''' 12 grams<br />
<br />
SG Metal Ball is one of the best BB for [[Defense]] type customizations. It has a round metal tip which makes it oriented for defense since it has a tendency to remain in the central area of the stadium in order to avoid attacks. The metal tip causes less friction between itself and the stadium which normally allows it to get knocked around in terms of defense, but in this case, its ability to hold up to 2 sets of [[metal balls]] prevents this because of the increase in weight. <br />
<br />
This BB can hold up to 2 sets of metal balls just like Metal Ball Base ([[Draciel Metal Ball Defenser]]) and Fortress Base ([[Draciel F]]), however, unlike the other two, it can hold a Heavy Metal Core ([[Metal Driger]]) in addition to the 2 sets of metal balls making it the heaviest BB ever at over 20 grams. The combination of the heavy weight on the round metal tip provides one of the best options of defense type BBs to use. <br />
<br />
=== Use in [[Defense]] Customization ===<br />
You can make great defense types with SG Metal Ball. As mentioned previously, you can add more weight to your combos by adding two extra metal balls. More weight increases spin rate, but be careful not to make your combos too heavy.<br />

Like most Draciels, the AR of [[Draciel S]] has no use. What makes this Beyblade worth getting is just its BB SG Metal Ball. Its ability to hold up to two sets of [[Metal Balls]] along with a Heavy Metal Core ([[Metal Driger]]) makes it worth getting alone. It has become one of the most popular [[defense]] BBs to use because of its abilities. In order to maximize the BB’s efficiency, it is a good idea to purchase at least two of this to have the BB as well as 2 sets of metal balls. <br />

__TOC__<br />
<br />
== Name Changes ==<br />
<br />
Hasbro released this Beyblade under two different names:<br />
*Cerberous<br />
*Howling Spirit<br />
<br />
== Attack Ring (AR): Triple Attacker ==<br />
* '''Weight:''' 7 grams<br />
<br />
The AR of Burning Kerberous is very unique in that each of its wings perform a different type of attack. The thickest wing performs [[Spike Attack]], the next wing (clockwise) performs [[Upper Attack]], and the wing counter-clockwise from the Spike Attack wing performs [[Force Smash]]. This AR can be used to differentiate between the different types of attack, but for competition purposes the AR isn't considered in serious game play.<br />
<br />
== Weight Disk (WD): Ten Wide ==<br />
See [[Wide Weight Disks | Ten Wide]]<br />
<br />
== Spin Gear (SG): Neo SG Right (Double Bearing Core) ==<br />
This is the prized part of Burning Kerberous. The Double Bearing Core contains two bearings (hence its name) and provides very good endurance. The tip is similar to the tip of Metal Change Base ([[Driger S]]); when the beyblade is shot at the center, the tip has very high endurance, and when the Beyblade is shot at an angle, the tip moves around in an attack pattern. The Beyblade also switches between attack and endurance during a battle. The bearing case can only hold one other shaft, [[Wolborg 2]]'s shaft. <br />
<br />
Sample combination:<br />
*'''AR:''' [[Bearing Gyros]] AR<br />
*'''WD:''' [[Wide Survivor]]<br />
*'''SG:''' [[Spin_Gear#V_and_V2_Series_Spin_Gears|Neo Left SG]] (Double Bearing Core)<br />
*'''SP:''' Survivor Ring ([[Dark Series]])<br />
*'''BB:''' Customize Grip ([[Dragoon V2]])<br />
<br />
This combination provides great endurance. The AR, WD, and SP work in unison to spin steal effectively, while the Double Bearing Base provides the endurance.<br />
<br />
== Support Part (SP): Cross Attack ==<br />
<br />
* '''Weight:''' 2 grams<br />
This SP is used for smash attack, but it is not very efficient, due to the shape of the projections. Other SP parts outclass it, like Fin Tector ([[Draciel V2]])<br />
<br />
== Blade Base (BB): Customize Bearing Base ==<br />
<br />
* '''Weight:''' 4 grams (10 grams with Double Bearing Core)<br />
This Blade Base can only house the Double Bearing Core. Only the shaft of Burning Kerberous and the shaft of [[Wolborg 2]] can fit into the Double Bearing Core. Therefore, there are only two ways the BB can be used. The blade base can be used with the Burning Kerberous shaft inside the bearing cases, which has great endurance, or it can be used with the Wolborg 2 shaft, which stays fixed when placed in the BB. The Wolborg 2 shaft, when fixed in place, is used for [[attack]] combinations.<br />

== Overall ==<br />
This Beyblade has many uses in [[Zombie]] combinations. The Double Bearing SG is an upgrade from the single bearing SGs, giving the zombie/spin stealing combinations more endurance. It is disappointing that only the [[Wolborg 2]] shaft and Burning Kerberous shafts can fit into the bearing cases.<br />

== Attack Ring (AR): War Lion ==<br />
<br />
* '''Weight:''' 6 grams<br />
<br />
The AR of [[Galeon]], War Lion, is the prized part of this Beyblade. Although one of the earliest released ARs, it still sees major use years after its release. This AR has both great [[defense]] and [[survival]] properties. Because the AR is so small, it has a tendency to have a high [[spin velocity]], which is perfect for defense types.<br />
<br />
However, this AR's survival properties are the most important. The AR is almost perfectly round, which gives it great survival because there are very few points of contact at which the recoil would be strong. However, the true secret to War Lion's survival capability is in its [[S-AR]]. When War Lion is hit and the [[free-spinning]] [[S-AR]] recieves the hit, the Beyblade will recieve almost no damage. This is because when the S-AR is hit, only the [[free-spinning]] S-AR is hit with the opposing force, while the rest of the Beyblade continues to spin unhindered.<br />
<br />
=== Use in [[Survival]]/[[Zombie]] Customization ===<br />
<br />
As discussed above, War Lion has great [[survival]] potential due to its round shape and [[free-spinning]] [[S-AR]]. The small projections protruding from War Lion can also [[steal spin]] effectively. The round shape of the AR will not interfere with [[life after death]]. You can make a great survival-type combo with War Lion. Here is an example:<br />
<br />
* '''AR:''' War Lion ([[Galeon]])<br />
* '''S-AR:''' War Lion ([[Galeon]])<br />
* '''WD:''' [[Wide Survivor]]<br />
* '''SG:''' [[Spin_Gear#A_to_F_Series_Spin_Gears|Left SG]] (Bearing Version) ([[Wolborg]])<br />
* '''SG Shaft:''' Bearing Base ([[Metal Dragoon Bearing Stinger]])<br />
* '''BB:''' Defense Grip Base 2 ([[Wolborg 2]])<br />
<br />
=== Use in [[Defense]] + [[Survival]] Customization ===<br />
<br />
Although War Lion has great [[survival]] potential, its [[defense]] ability is strong as well. To outspin an [[attack]] type Beyblade, you need good defense. Here is an example combo that can be used to beat an attack Beyblade:<br />
<br />
* '''AR:''' War Lion ([[Galeon]])<br />
* '''S-AR:''' War Lion ([[Galeon]])<br />
* '''WD:''' [[Wide Defense]]<br />
* '''SG:''' [[Spin_Gear#A_to_F_Series_Spin_Gears|Left SG]] (Bearing Version 2) ([[Wolborg 2]])<br />
* '''BB:''' Defense Grip Base 2 ([[Wolborg 2]])<br />
<br />
=== Use in [[Defense]] Customization ===<br />
<br />
As discussed above, War Lion has great [[defense]] potential due to its round, small shape. This shape results in a higher [[spin velocity]]. Also, the [[S-AR]] can prevent powerful recoil. You can make a great defense-type combo with War Lion. Here is an example:<br />
<br />
* '''AR:''' War Lion ([[Galeon]])<br />
* '''S-AR:''' War Lion ([[Galeon]])<br />
* '''WD:''' [[Wide Defense]]<br />
* '''SG:''' [[Spin_Gear#V_and_V2_Series_Spin_Gears|Neo-Right]]<br />
* '''SG Core:''' Heavy Metal Core ([[Takara]] [[Metal Driger]])<br />
* '''BB:''' SG Metal Ball Base ([[Draciel S]])<br />
<br />
=== Use in [[Compact]] Customization ===<br />
<br />
War Lion has a round and small shape. Because of this, it can achieve a high [[spin velocity]]. While this is good for [[defense]] combos, it is also good for [[compact]] combos. Here is an example:<br />
<br />
* '''AR:''' War Lion ([[Galeon]])<br />
* '''S-AR:''' War Lion ([[Galeon]])<br />
* '''WD:''' [[Ten Heavy]]<br />
* '''SG:''' [[Spin_Gear#V_and_V2_Series_Spin_Gears|Neo-Right]]<br />
* '''SG Core:''' Heavy Metal Core ([[Takara]] [[Metal Driger]])<br />
* '''BB:''' [[SG Semi-Flat]]<br />
<br />
As you will notice, this combo is the same basic concept as an uncustomized [[Galeon]]. However, it improves on the most basic functions to produce a great Beyblade.<br />

<br />
[[Galeon]] follows an interesting trend of older Beyblades having some of the most useful parts. Perhaps it is because that Beyblade was at its purest, most strategic form then (which HMS made an attempt to return to). Aside from that, however, Galeon is still a great Beyblade. Even uncustomized, it can be used to good results. However, the really great point of [[Galeon]] is its AR, War Lion. This AR can be used in modern combos as one of the best ARs available. With great [[defense]] and [[survival]] potential, '''every player should own multiples of this Beyblade.'''<br />

[[Black Dranzer]] contains no notable differences from '''Dranzer F'''.<br />
<br />
==Attack Ring (AR): Flame Wing==<br />
*'''Weight''': 5 grams<br />
<br />
'''Flame Wing''' is a multi-attack style ring capable of both [[Upper Attack]] and [[Smash Attack]]. Unfortunately its ‘Jack of All Trades’ design tends to give it more setbacks than advantages. The sources of its [[Smash Attack]] are the two blunt notches on the end of the spikes. Upon contact these notches have the potential to cause significant damage to its opponent in right spin. These protruding notches are also the source for the AR’s main weakness; durability. Like many Smash attackers, '''Flame Wing''' is fragile and the notches have a tendency to break off with constant use. <br />
<br />
Since the spikes are angled upwards it is capable of [[Upper Attack]]. The upper attack however is inferior to a lot of the competition ([[Kid Dragoon |Upper Dragoon]], [[Driger G |Triple Tiger]]). The cause of this is the smaller angle of the slope (around 10 degrees) compared to '''Upper Dragoon'''’s 15 degrees (Right Spin). This is an AR that should be used when superior [[Upper Attack]] or [[Smash Attack]] AR’s are unavailable. <br />
<br />
===Use in [[Smash Attack]] Customization===<br />
<br />
*'''AR''': Flame Wing<br />
*'''WD''': 10 Wide<br />
*'''BB''': Grip Base ([[Dragoon Grip Attacker]])<br />
<br />
This combination is lightweight, resulting in high speeds. The fast movement can be hard to control, unless a shooting technique such as the [[Sliding Shoot]] is employed. Use of this technique improves the chances of performing an early KO.<br />
<br />
===Use in [[Upper Attack]] Customization===<br />
<br />
*'''AR''': Flame Wing<br />
*'''WD''': 10 Heavy<br />
*'''SG''': Heavy Metal Core ([[Metal Driger]])<br />
*'''BB''': Storm Grip ([[Dragoon S]])<br />
<br />
This customization makes the best of the [[Upper Attack]] that '''Flame Wing''' has. Its heavier weight and low height allows it to lift the opposing beyblade, instead of being pushed downwards.<br />
<br />
==Weight Disk (WD): 8 Heavy==<br />
See [[Heavy Weight Disks]]<br />
<br />
==Spin Gear (SG): Right SG (Triple Change Version)==<br />
*'''Weight''': 5 grams<br />
<br />
'''SG Triple Change Version''' can only be used with '''Flame Change Base'''. Its casing houses a triple-tipped plastic piece, which when pulled down allows the player to change between flat, sharp, and semi-flat tips. While this tip adds versatility, and acts as a good practice base for newer players; problems emerge. First, while able to use three different tips with three different battle styles; it isn’t able to do any of them very well since the SG is too tall. Second, there is a manufacturing flaw with many of the SG’s that make the triple-tipped plastic piece too loose to stay on one tip. So during a battle it can get stuck between two of them, significantly reducing endurance and costing the player the match. This unreliability automatically disqualifies it from being a serious choice for many competitive players; but as mentioned before, newer players might find this useful to practice with. <br />
<br />
==Blade Base (BB): Flame Change Base==<br />
<br />
*'''Weight''': 9 grams<br />
<br />
This base can only be used in conjunction with '''SG Triple Change Version'''. It contains no other notable features.<br />

==Overall==<br />
<br />
'''Dranzer F''' is an aesthetically pleasing blade with uses for newer players to the game thanks to its ‘Jack of All Trades’ features. This characteristic though prevents it from being a top tier blade since it is bested in every attack and movement style by more specific parts. Its notches are more fragile and less effective than many others; and its [[Upper Attack]] slopes are smaller in degree. The SG/BB is also useless for competitive play due to height and reliability issues. '''Overall, [[Dranzer F]] is only recommended for beybladers looking to increase their collection.'''<br />

== Bit Protector (BP): Heavy Metal Emblem ==<br />
The Bit Protector of this Beyblade is Heavy Metal Emblem. It is the first mould verson of Bit Protectors.<br />
<br />
== Attack Ring (AR): Advance Balancer ==<br />
<br />
* '''Weight:''' 15 grams<br />
This attack ring has a gear shaped metal sub-ring. This subring has a perfect circle form, able to mantain good [[defense]]. The gear shape makes it very good for stealing spin. It is able to steal spin almost perfectly. The ABS caul has 3 wings, about the same diameter as the metal subring. The three small spikes between these wings have very little effect on the AR. Advance Balancer has quite good balance due to its form. It can be seen as an upgrade from the Metal Saucer ([[Gaia Dragoon MS]]) attack ring- although it uses the same Metal Frame, the ABS caul has been designed with two small slots underneath to secure it and prevent rattling. <br />
<br />
Another advantage is weight. This AR is about 1g heavier than Metal Saucer ([[Gaia Dragoon MS]]). The increase in weight comes from the ABS Caul- while Metal Saucer has a hollowed ABS Caul, Advance Balancer's ABC Caul is almost completely solid. The areas underneath two of the small spikes are hollowed out, but this does not apply for the third spike. <br />
<br />
=== Use in [[Zombie | Spin Stealing]] Customization ===<br />
The main usage of this AR is for spin stealing combos. You can change your spin direction just by loading the G-Winder through the other slot in the shooter. Here is an example:<br />
<br />
* '''AR:''' Advance Balancer ([[Advance Averazer]])<br />
* '''WD:''' [[Circle Wide]]<br />
* '''RC:''' Bearing Core ([[Wolborg MS]]) or Bearing Core 2 ([[Jiraiya MS]])<br />
<br />
Select your core depending on the situation. If you expect to see more attackers and older stadiums or Tornado Balance Type S, you should select Bearing Core 2 to prevent knock out. If you expect to see defence or survival type Beyblades and stadiums like Tornado Balance or Tornado Attack, you should select Bearing Core as it has better survival than Bearing Core 2.<br />
<br />
=== Use in [[Survival]] Customization ===<br />
This is another survival type customization. However, the main purpose of this combo is to counter upper attackers. The AR has quite good balance. CWD was chosen to defend against lower Beyblades. A heavier CWD would allow for a higher spin rate, as with the Metal Sharp core.<br />
<br />
* '''AR:''' Advance Balancer ([[Advance Averazer]])<br />
* '''WD:''' CWD 17g ([[Sea Dragon]]) Reverse Defense ([[RBA4]] Secret Prize CWD)<br />
* '''RC:''' Metal Sharp Core ([[Advance Eterner]])<br />
<br />
== Weight Disk (WD): Circle Balance ==<br />
<br />
See [[Circle Balance]].<br />
<br />
== Running Core (RC): Metal Semi-Flat Core ==<br />
<br />
* '''Weight:''' 3 grams<br />
<br />
This core can be very useful, but is overshadowed by the Metal Change core ([[Death Gargoyle MS]]). The main advantage of this core is that it has a controllable attacker movement. Unlike Metal Change core (Death Gargoyle MS), in which the attack movement is relatively fixed once it goes into the center of the stadium, this core can continue to hit the center again and again. As a result, while Metal Change core may waste energy by riding the tornado ridge once struck out of the center by a [[Survival]] type Bey, Metal Semi-Flat core is less likely to do so. However, Metal Semi-Flat core has much less [[Attack]] and Survival capabilities as compared to Metal Change core (Death Gargoyle MS). Metal Semi-Flat core is an upgrade on Semi-Flat core ([[Driger MS]]). Changing the material to Metal is generally an improvement as compared to plastic. However, the tip mould is different. Semi-Flat core (Driger MS) has a much narrowed diameter, as compared to Metal Semi-Flat's 2.5mm tip diameter. Metal Semi-Flat has a lot of movement. It can keep on attacking throughout the match. However, it tends to go into survival mode towards the end of the match. As an attacker core, it is relatively high, so [[Force Smash]] can be more worthwhile.<br />
<br />
=== Use in [[Compact]]/[[Attack]] Customization ===<br />
This custom is based on spin rate. It is able to keep on attacking the opponent continuously.<br />
<br />
* '''AR:''' Metal Ape ([[Magical Ape MS]])<br />
* '''WD:''' [[Circle Heavy]]<br />
* '''RC:''' Metal Semi-Flat core ([[Avance Averazer]])<br />
<br />
=== Use in [[Survival]]/[[Wobbler]] Customization ===<br />
You should set the AR depending on the opponent's height for this combo.<br />
*'''AR''': Advance Balancer<br />
*'''WD''': Circle Balance<br />
*'''RC''': Metal Semi-Flat core<br />
<br />
There is a quality control error that causes some Metal Semi-Flat Core tips to spin free. This error is not a bad one. It will improve survival and allow it to retain its wobbling position even longer.<br />

== Overall ==<br />
Advance Averazer is the first of the Advance series and makes a lasting impression. The performance of this Beyblade is higher than expected. It is also the best Beyblade to demonstrate the strength difference between plastic and HMS. This is one of the better [[Balance]] type Beyblades, with good [[attack]] and [[survival]] at once. With high speed movement and spin-stealing abilities, it is a good buy.<br />

== Attack Ring (AR): War Monkey ==<br />
<br />
* '''Weight:''' 6 grams<br />
<br />
War Monkey contains two parts: a main AR and the Sub-AR. The main AR is characterized by four small projections. These projections do not protrude much and posses little offensive power, but allow for low recoil. The main strength of this AR comes from it's harmony with the Sub-AR which is identical in shape to the Main AR. This means that the shape of War Monkey is that of a full circle enhancing many of its current defense attributes. <br />
<br />
Since it is free-spinning the Sub-AR acts as a shock absorber and allows the beyblade to take harder hits whilst reducing recoil and KO’s, making it is a very good choice for [[Defense]] customizations. The circular shape and free spinning attributes also allow War Monkey to have some spin stealing ability giving it some use in [[Survival]] customizations. <br />
<br />
Whilst a powerful AR; it is important to note that it falls short in many areas when directly compared to the top contender in this category: War Lion ([[Galeon]]). <br />
<br />
=== Use in [[Defense]] Customizations ===<br />
In a Defense customization War Monkey's circular shape helps reduce recoil. It pairs well with a Defensive BB and WD.<br />

*'''SG:''' [[Neo Right SG]]<br />
*'''SG Core:''' Heavy Metal Core ([[Takara]] [[Metal Driger]])<br />
*'''BB:''' SG Metal Ball Base (with 4 balls) ([[Draciel S]])<br />
<br />
=== Use in [[Survival]] Customizations ===<br />
War Monkey also possesses some spin stealing attributes due to it's design, making it a viable alternative for Survival combos.<br />

* '''Galman''' - [[Random Booster 4]] Version (Transparent Purple)<br />
<br />
== Overall ==<br />
Galman’s War Monkey is bested in many categories by the more popular War Lion, found on [[Galeon]], but is a useful part and is a viable option for [[Defense]] and [[Survival]] customizations when War Lion is not an option. <br />
<br />
It is a beyblade worth owning for those with an affinity to defensive style Beyblades, collectors, or for those unable to get [[Galeon]]. Not a must-own, but still a good blade.<br />
