Lightning L-Drago (Rapid-Hit Type) (ライトニングエルドラゴ (連打型), Raitoningu Erudorago (Renda Gata)) is a Blade released by Takara Tomy as part of the Basic Line system. It debuted in Japan with the release of the BX-00 Random Booster Lightning L-Drago 1-60F on September 14th, 2024.
Description
"Lightning L-Drago" can refer to 2 left-spin Attack Type Blades and X-Over Project adaptations of the L-Drago I Face, L-Drago I Clear Wheel, and Lightning Metal Wheel that came with the Metal Series' Hybrid Wheel System Beyblade, Lightning L-Drago 100HF. Due to the design of the system, the Blade parts are not customizable. As a result, the "Lightning L-Drago" Blades lack the mode change gimmick of the original parts, instead separating the Upper and Rapid-Hit Modes as two separate Blades: the "Lightning L-Drago (Upper Type)" Blade and the "Lightning L-Drago (Rapid-Hit Type)" Blade. Like the original parts' Rapid-Hit Mode, the Lightning L-Drago (Rapid-Hit Type) Blade has three sets of three ridged protrusions that act as the main contact points, which can be used for rapid attacks.
Both "Lightning L-Drago" Blades are unstable due to each of the three contact points being hollowed differently. The instability creates highly inconsistent and erratic movement, causing shaking and wobbling that drains Stamina. While the Upper Type has a higher weight than the Rapid-Hit Type on average, the slight difference in shape means the Upper Type is more favorable for Attack.
Rulings
Official tournaments held by Beyblade Battle Base (B4) treat both "Lightning L-Drago" Blades as the same Blade.[1] As such, only 1 of the 2 "Lightning L-Drago" Blades can be used in a 3on3 Battle deck.[1] In addition, they cannot be swapped with each other during a Match, as parts cannot be exchanged between Battles after Bey checks.[2]
Ranked tournaments held by the World Beyblade Organization (WBO) use the same ruling.[3]
