Dragoon V - Revision history

Ultra: Changed info for black version. It's so totally not a corocoro version and it doesn't have a red weight disk either (I have pics of an unboxed one)

Th!nk: Overall, usefulness and out of date tag update. Wheeee! (this one is so, so borderline, I had it down as "collection only" but changed my mind in the edit box because of how important Neo Left casings are and the fact Dragoon V2 is overpriced as heck).

-Dragoon V is only worth buying for the Neo Left SG casings and the [[Wide Weight Disks|10 Wide]]. The tip can also be useful, but there are better BBs that do the job such as [[Dragoon V2]], which should be considered before purchasing [[Dragoon V]]. Though, the Neo Left SG casings are very useful for [[Zombie]]/spin stealer customizations, the part is not needed. '''This Beyblade is useful to own but isn't a must-have'''.
+'''Dragoon V''' is only really worth buying for the vital Neo Left SG, with the Ten Wide being a pleasant bonus. While the Blade Base has some use due to its ability to hold a wide range of tips and SG setups, it is generally outclassed by parts available in much more useful Beyblades such as [[Dragoon V2]] (which is a more worthwhile, but significantly more expensive source of Neo Left Spin Gears) and [[Wolborg 2]]. '''This Beyblade should only be considered if one needs a Neo Left Spin Gear and has no other options, or for collection purposes.'''

 == Blade Base (BB): Magne Flat Base==
 * '''Weight:'''
-The BB has four wings that protrude from the top of the base. They were designed for left-spin [[Smash Attack]], but it is negligible because of recoil. Magne Flat Base is easily outclassed by Customize Grip ([[Dragoon V2]]) by uses for Smash Attack in two ways: It has the ability to hold a SP such as Fin Tector ([[Draciel V2]]) as well as as being able to interchange tips. Both have a magnetic flat tip, but the tip of Dragoon V is made of plastic, rather than rubber (its magnetism gimmick was marketed in replacement of the usual rubber gimmick of the Dragoon line). The advantage of this is that it will survive much longer than with the use of Dragoon V2's tip, but the trade off of this is speed, [[Recoil]] control, and controllability with a [[Sliding Shoot]].

 This customization makes the most of the tip's height by adding a Blade Base that uses a SP. Fin Tector and Triple Wing gives this combination very good smash. The combination is also heavier, making it slower and easier to control than many other combinations.
