== Attack Ring (AR): Cross Dragon ==

* '''Weight:''' 4 grams

Cross Dragon is circular with four rectangular projections evenly distributed around the AR. Due to its shape and design; this AR has little use and is incredibly outclassed. It is not ideal for any form of [[Attack|attack]]. Cross Dragon does not have any competitive uses except for [[WD Attack]], which is also not very useful in competitive play.

=== Use in [[WD Attack]] Customization ===

Cross Dragon in a [[WD Attack]] customization. Cross Dragon does not extend beyond the WD, leaving the WD completely exposed, therefore allowing this customization to be quite effective.

*'''AR:''' Cross Dragon '''(Makendo)'''
*'''WD:''' [[Wide Defense]]
*'''SG:''' [[Right SG]]
*'''BB:''' SG Metal Flat 2 ([[Gaia Dragoon V]])

=== IMPORTANT: Mold Variations ===
There are two different molds for Cross Dragon. The original mold of Cross Dragon ([[Ultimate Dragoon]] and [[Megaro Arm]] version) is very thin and fragile (prone to breaking). The newer mold of Cross Dragon ('''Makendo''' version) is much improved from the original version, in that the AR is made thicker and the width of the AR is increased. In the newer mold of Cross Dragon, reinforments have been added to the ring and to the four panels. Due to these improvements, the newer mold AR is much stronger and less likely to break, compared to the original mold. Should Cross Dragon be used, the newer mold (Makendo's Cross Dragon) should be used over the original mold AR.

''Note: The [[Hasbro]] versions of [[Ultimate Dragoon]], [[Megaro Arm]] and '''Makendo''' all have the newer mold of Cross Dragon.''

== Overall ==

'''Makendo''' is useless for competitive play and has been entirely outclassed by numerous parts. This Beyblade would only be worth getting for collection purposes.
