 The main contact points, the four wing tips, are sharp and well spaced, producing an incredible amount of [[Smash Attack]] in right spin. The shape of these contact points helps focus the pressure from their attacks, dealing more damage to the opponent, and the overall size of the Attack Ring means it has excellent attack range. Lastly, while it lacks the slopes that a number of [[Smash Attack]] ARs are able to use to destabilise opponents and score outspins, it compensates for this with some of the most effective stopping power of any Attack Ring; Cross Griffon is able to deliver powerful hits that interrupt the rotation of opposing Beyblades, severely reducing their stamina, if not bringing them to a halt entirely.
-While Cross Griffon has slightly more [[Recoil]] than Triple Wing, this is naturally controlled by most standard [[Smash Attack]] setups; [[Wide Defense]] alone is enough to control Recoil on rubber tipped bases, including the extremely fast, extremely light [[Dragoon Grip Attacker|Grip Base]], and either [[Wide Defense]] and an [[Spin_Gear#V_and_V2_Series_Spin_Gears|MG Core]], or a [[Spin_Gear#V_and_V2_Series_Spin_Gears|Heavy Metal Core]] and [[Wide Weight Disks|10 Wide]] are enough to negate any Recoil on [[Gaia Dragoon V|SG Metal Flat 2]].

 A further advantage Cross Griffon has over Triple Wing is its thickness. Along with the greater availability and lower price of Griffolyon compared to Trygle, the thickness of Cross Griffon means that despite the incredibly forceful impacts it produces, it is very unlikely to break, even on extremely fast bases such as [[Dragoon Grip Attacker|Grip Base]], making it a more economical choice. That said, the sharp wing tips can cause damage to Stadium walls and more fragile opponents, and this may counteract savings from the lower price.

+Arguably the best use of Cross Griffon's properties is:
 * '''AR:''' Cross Griffon

-This combination is designed to capitalize on Cross Griffon’s most notable advantages. [[Wide Defense]] bolsters the already excellent stopping power of Cross Griffon, the externalised weight distribution making its movement and hits harder to interrupt, and also increasing speed and [[Survival]]. An MG Core is used to reduce the Recoil to a point of irrelevancy, while having a small enough impact on stamina to allow the combination to effectively outspin a wide range of opponents, even without its signature stamina-destroying ability.

-As always, SG Metal Flat 2 provides excellent speed and power for knock-outs, but its solid survival ability is what really makes this customisation so deadly. Cross Griffon’s powerful [[Smash Attack]] produces excellent stopping power; even if it fails to knock the opponent out of the stadium, the extremely heavy hits it delivers often disrupt opponents’ spin, heavily reducing their survival ability, sometimes even stopping them outright. The [[Survival]] ability of SG Metal Flat 2 capitalises on this, resulting in a combination that can defeat an opponent through both knock out and outspin.

 === Ruling Clarification ===
 Griffolyon Base is not legal for use in World Beyblade Organization-sanctioned tournaments. The following is included for informational purposes only.
+----
 '''Griffolyon Base''' has an integrated SG, similar to 4-Layer Beyblades. The main gimmick of this base is that the tip is not attached directly to the base, but instead is attached to a cylindrical body, which sits inside the shaft of the base, allowing a small amount of free-spin, albeit limited by the friction produced by plastic-on-plastic contact.

 Obviously, even if it were legal, there would be absolutely no reason to use this base under any circumstance.

 === Mold Difference ===
 [[Hasbro]] versions of this AR have attachment points for the figurine located on the top of the AR rather than the base. These only add Recoil, especially against taller opponents, and as such a [[Takara]] Cross Griffon is greatly preferred.
