Any decent L-Drago Upper builds?
​
Guilty Longinus is my absolute favorite, so I was super excited to replace my old Impact Drake 1-70 LR with L-Drago Upper for an all-left deck. I'm still a bit new to Beyblade X since I just came from Burst years ago. Honestly, I’m pretty disappointed with L-Drago. It’s just too light to consistently handle Wizard Rod 1-60 Hexa, and after only being in two tournaments, I now see why nobody runs it.
My little brother and I usually just play together, and after messing around with parts, we're probably gonna bench it and go back to my original deck:
- Meteor Dragoon 7-70 Level
- Cobalt Dragoon 5-60 Elevate
- Impact Drake 1-70 Low Rush
But before I put L-Drago away, here is what we found during testing:
- 4-60 Cyclone: Our best bet. 4-50 scraped too much, but 4-60 gave it clearance and the square shape stabilized the hollow blade.
- 1-70 Ignition: It was fast, but because L-Drago is too light it sometimes lacks power when it hits. Way too top-heavy and inconsistent.
- M-85 Low Rush: Solved the shaking weight-wise, but made it way too tall and burst-prone.
The Strategy: Standard hard launching fails against Hexa. I had to use a soft stall launch to keep it controlled in the center instead of instantly Xtreme Dashing. This lets L-Drago actually scoop it out once WiRo slows down.
2/4 Extreme Finishes against Wizard Rod 1-60 Hexa (normal launch)
Has anyone else felt this let down by L-Drago Upper? Also, if I don't go back to Impact Drake, do you guys think Red Aero Pegasus is more fun to use than Drake for an attack slot? I only used it in the tournament since it came the day before and I never practiced using it before so it gave me a hard time and put it back in the plastic.
