In this custom, Eight Spiker's consistently powerful Smash Attack is enhanced in a couple ways: by the outwardly focused weight of Wide Defense–which increases movement speed–and by the additional lower Smash Attack provided by the Fin Tectors, which is useful given the slightly tall nature of Customize Grip Base.

The great speed and control offered by Seaborg's tip is excellently made use of by Eight Spiker. Wide Defense and Neo Left SG (Normal Core) are used to lessen weight at the center of the beyblade and distribute more weight at the perimeters. While the height is an issue against lower opponents, given the popularity of Circle Survivor Defense customs that completely counter lower beyblades, it can be seen as an advantage.

[[Dragoon G]] is equipped with a Left Engine Gear with a Metal Semi-Flat tip. Despite the name, however, the tip is flat, only having slight rounding of the edges. This provides aggressive movement and decent [[Survival]]. The Engine Gear itself provides a burst of speed (the timing of which depends on the base it is used with). However, the tip isn't fully able to make use of this, and often, the most noticeable effect of activation is self-KO.

[[Dragoon G]] comes with an excellent Attack Ring, and a moderately useful Weight Disk. While the base and SG are useless, it also includes a [[Winder#Dragon_Winder|Dragon Winder]], and is readily available at cheap prices. While the Blade Base and Engine Gear are disappointing, it is still a useful buy, and, given its cheap price, '''all serious competitive bladers should own this Beyblade.'''

The excellent Attack Ring and useful Weight Disk, alongside the fact it comes with a Launcher and Dragon Winder make '''Dragoon G''' an enticing purchase, given it is generally cheaply available NIB. However, the requirement of a Left Spin Gear and compatible Blade Base to use Eight Spiker effectively means that Right Spin alternatives such as [[Driger G]] should be considered instead, and even if one decides they wish to use Left Spin, [[Metal Driger]] is arguably a better source of a competitive Attack Ring as it comes with more useful parts overall. '''This Beyblade is not a must-have, but it is nevertheless a welcome addition to any collection.'''

Dragoon Galaxy
Dragoon G.png
Number: A-89
System: EG System
Type: Attack

Attack Ring (AR): Eight Spiker

  • Weight: 5 grams

Eight Spiker takes the form of four dragon heads followed by slightly smaller fins, for a total of eight contact points. Each one of its eight well-spaced, well-shaped contact points is further enhanced by small spikes, adding Spike Attack to its already prodigious Smash Attack. Despite its hyper-aggressive profile, Eight Spiker is low on Recoil, and is capable of exceptionally clean knock outs at any stage of a battle.

It is therefore one of the best left spin Smash Attack ARs. However, being effective in left spin only comes at a cost: it is unable to make use of Grip Base, the fastest low-height base. Additionally, its lack of any Upper Attack slopes means that it has more trouble outspinning opponents when using bases such as SG Metal Flat 2. Nonetheless, it is an excellent Smash Attack AR, commonly considered the best Left-Spin Smash AR, and is, at the very least, a strong contender for this title.

Use in Smash Attack Customization

The great speed and control offered by Seaborg's tip is excellently made use of by Eight Spiker. Wide Defense and Neo Left SG (Normal Core) are used to lessen weight at the center of the beyblade and distribute more weight at the perimeters. While the height is an issue against lower opponents, given the popularity of Circle Survivor Defense customs that completely counter lower beyblades, it can be seen as an advantage.

Weight Disk (WD): 10 Wide

See 10 Wide

Spin Gear (SG): Left Engine Gear (Metal Semi-Flat)

  • Weight: 11 grams

Dragoon G is equipped with a Left Engine Gear which has a Metal Semi-Flat tip. Despite the name, however, the tip is flat, only having slight rounding of the edges. This provides aggressive movement and decent Survival. The Engine Gear itself provides a burst of speed (the timing of which depends on the base it is used with). However, the tip isn't fully able to make use of this, and often, the most noticeable effect of activation is self-KO.

Furthermore, it is too tall to hit many opponents, and is limited to Engine-Gear compatible bases, all of which are impractical and/or bulky. Overall, this part has no competitive use.

Blade Base (BB): First Clutch Base (Dragoon G version)

  • Weight: 7 grams

Like all First Clutch blade bases, Dragoon G’s base activates the Engine Gear at the start of the battle. The base has eight protrusions, four of which are similar in shape to Eight Spiker, the other four are slightly smaller, and lack the spikes. While this base provides some means to make contact with lower opponents, it is very prone to Recoil, and as such is not commonly used.

Overall

The excellent Attack Ring and useful Weight Disk, alongside the fact it comes with a Launcher and Dragon Winder make Dragoon G an enticing purchase, given it is generally cheaply available NIB. However, the requirement of a Left Spin Gear and compatible Blade Base to use Eight Spiker effectively means that Right Spin alternatives such as Driger G should be considered instead, and even if one decides they wish to use Left Spin, Metal Driger is arguably a better source of a competitive Attack Ring as it comes with more useful parts overall. This Beyblade is not a must-have, but it is nevertheless a welcome addition to any collection.
