Dragoon Storm Wing Xtreme is an Attack Type Beyblade released by Hasbro as part of the Burst System. It was released in western countries as a part of the Dragoon Storm & Dranzer S Dual Pack for USD$14.99 in the United States and AUD$27.99 in Australia.
Energy Layer - Dragoon Storm[]
- Main article: Energy Layer - Dragoon Storm (Hasbro)
Hasbro's Dragoon Storm is a Burst System adaptation of the Reverse Dragon Attack Ring and Dragoon Bit Chip from the Original Series' Spin Gear System. As such it features an overall square/diamond shape with four dragon heads that act as the main contact points and an image of the Bit Beast Dragoon in the center. The difference in shape between the Energy Layer and the original Attack Ring is that the dragon heads are much more compact making the Layer somewhat smaller overall. The "Bit Chip" is non-removable.
Compared to its Takara Tomy counterpart, Hasbro's Dragoon Storm is even more compact, slightly reducing recoil. The slopes of the Layer are also much weaker, reducing its Burst Resistance and making it more prone to Self-Bursts.
Forge Disc - Wing[]
- Main article: Forge Disc - Wing
Wing features a six-blade design. On the upper side of the Forge Disc, the letter W appears for easy differentiation from other Forge Discs.
The blades of Wing are meant to create Upper Force in Right-Spin and Down Force in Left-Spin. However, the small size of the blades makes any such effect negligible.
Due to its light weight and feeble relief that does not truly come in contact with opponents, Wing disadvantages any Beyblade it is part of.
Performance Tip - Xtreme[]
- Main article: Performance Tip - Xtreme
Xtreme features a flat rubber tip with a circular depression in the center that sits at the standard height. Embossed on the top is a stylized "X" for easy differentiation.
Due to the surface area to friction ratio, Xtreme will create a highly aggressive, and if launched with a Banking Shoot, somewhat controllable movement pattern. In terms of speed, Xtreme is faster than Accel, Zephyr and Assault but is as fast as or slower than Hold or a worn Variable. Xtreme's high speed allows for strong attacks and its high friction creates less chances of losing the Banking Pattern in battle making it one of the most common choices for Attack Combinations.
However, Xtreme has three major weaknesses. Firstly, the high friction of the rubber means that Xtreme has incredibly low Stamina, furthermore, the light weight of the Burst System compared to previous Systems means that there is less inertia, exacerbating the Stamina issue further. Secondly, the high friction also means that Xtreme resists changes to the Beyblade's spin from contact with the opponent, thus more force is transferred the teeth in Takara Tomy Layers or the slopes in Hasbro Layers, increasing the chances of Self-Bursts. Lastly, Xtreme will wear down with use, decreasing its aggression with little to no improvement to the tip's Stamina, meaning that multiple copies much be purchased in order to replace worn ones.
