— Official Description

„

Grand is a Stamina Type Layer Base that features two dragon heads that form the main points of contact with large wings, akin to a reversed Driger Slash. Like other Stamina Bases, Grand exposes less of a Gatinko Chip's teeth, slightly reducing the Chip's Burst resistance.

Despite the round shape, the size of the gaps between the wings and dragon heads creates sizable recoil, making Grand ill-suited for Stamina purposes. Furthermore, the wings themselves are hollow, reducing Outward-Weight-Distribution and subsequent Stamina potential. Finally, due to the nature of the Gatinko Layer System, much of the Grand Base's weight will not be concentrated at the edges of the Layer, but closer to the center due to the shape of Layer Weights, further reducing Stamina potential.

Performance Tip - Charge

Main article: Performance Tip - Charge

Charge is a wide, round Performance Tip with a flat tip. Its most noticeable feature is the incorporation of metal throughout its design, which increases its weight and in theory creating high inertia. In practice, the plastic tip does not generate enough speed, and the heavy weight makes Charge combinations prone to Bursting.

Trivia

• Grand Dragon's name and avatar are based on the word "grand", a term used to describe an object's dimensions, and "dragon", a mythical monster with a reptilian appearance.
  • The avatar is an amalgamation of Western Dragon and Eastern Dragon anatomy. The body is six-limbed: four legs and two wings like a Western Dragon; and has the head, nasal tendrils, mane and beard like an Eastern Dragon.
• With the Grand Layer Base, Dragon's aura color becomes a multitude of reddish-orange and yellow with an orange-shaded background, reminiscent of a typical Stamina Type Beyblade's aura color.
