 === IMPORTANT: Mold Variations ===
-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.

 ''All of the references to Wing Cross following in this article (that is, excluding the use in [[Zombie | zombie]] combos refer to Hasbro's refined mold, and not any other mold. While the performance of Wing Cross is still good in other molds, the new mold made this AR outrageously effective.''

-Wing Cross is a strong AR because of its extremely evenly distributed weight, thin size, and smooth edges. It was previously commonly used among [[Zombie | 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.

-Although commonly [[Driger S]]'s Tiger Defense AR is used in this style of combos, Wing Cross has some use. However, because of its higher recoil, it can be a risky decision. Because of its thin frame and light, balanced weight, it doesn't interfere with the spin velocity increase gained from [[compact]] combos.
