Ultimate Frostic Dranzer or Frostic Dranzer (フロスティックドランザー) in Japan, is a 4 Layer System Beyblade, released on July 1999. It is succeeded by Dranzer Auto Change Balancer.

Information

Although a regular release in 1999, this Beyblade is now incredibly rare, especially in new unboxed condition.

It was the main Beyblade of Kai in the Next Generation Beigoma Battle: Beyblade video game. The Japanese release also included the other 2 stages of the Bit Beast's evolution from the game.

The Bit reappears as part of the "Frost series" of Bits in Beyblade Fighting Tournament along with Frost Draciel, Frost Dragoon and Frost Driger versions.

Bit Chip (BC): Frosting Dranzer

Main article: Bit Chip - Frosting Dranzer

The Character Chip displays Frosting Dranzer, an "ice dragon". Unlike future Dranzer Beyblades, which feature a Bit Beast inspired by Suzaku, Frosting Dranzer is a three-headed dragon.

Attack Ring (AR): Wing Cross

Main article: Attack Ring - Wing Cross
  • Weight: 5 grams

Wing Cross is a strong AR because of its extremely evenly distributed weight, thin size, and smooth edges. It was previously commonly used among zombies/spin-stealers before becoming outclassed by other ARs, such as Galeon's War Lion or Driger S's Tiger Defenser. Despite this, Wing Cross did not become obsolete.

Wing Cross stayed popular in the 10bBistool combo, and also in some compact combos. This AR has many uses in balance and survival type combos.

Use in First Generation Zombies

Wing Cross was used as an AR in first generation zombies (that is, before the S Series was released). It was used because of its balanced weight distribution, thin design, and because its projections (the attack spikes protruding from the AR) could be used to [Spin Steal|steal spin], as they extended just beyond the reach of the Wide Survivor WD.

IMPORTANT: Mold Variations

The mold variation of the Wing Cross AR is what makes it such a popular choice. While the Takara version of Bistool, Gekiryu-Oh and Frostic Dranzer, along with the Hasbro older versions of Gekiryu-Oh and Frostic Dranzer have thin spikes, the ends of Hasbro Bistool's, Frostic Dranzer's (new mold), and Gekiryu-Oh's (new mold) spikes have been connected to the center of the AR, supposedly to prevent breaking. Because of this, Wing Cross's AR's new mold has become a far more popular choice than the older mold.

All of the references to Wing Cross following in this article (that is, excluding the use in zombie combos refer to Hasbro's refined mold, and not any other mold. While the performance of Wing Cross is still good in other molds, the new mold made this AR outrageously effective.

Use in Compact Combos

Wing Cross did find some use in compact Beyblades, particularly in a 4-Layer combo using Draciel Metal Ball Defenser's BB, Metal Ball Base.

This is the combo that was used by Noland in the BBA World Championships.

Additionally, while not as prominent, it did find some use in the standard compact set:

Although commonly Driger S's Tiger Defense AR is used in this style of combos, Wing Cross has some use. However, because of its higher recoil, it can be a risky decision. Because of its thin frame and light, balanced weight, it doesn't interfere with the spin velocity increase gained from Compact combos.

Use in Balance Combos

Exchanging the Ten Heavy WD with a Ten Balance WD in the combos listed in the compact section will decrease its spin velocity, but it will increase its Survival abilities substantially. As a reference, here are the altered combos that will be very good as balance combos.

Additionally, one of the best balance combos, the 10bBistool, is discussed later on in this article.

Weight Disk (WD): Balance

Main article: Weight Disk - Balance

At 14 grams, the Balance WD has a weight which is between that of Wide and Heavy WDs. It is six-sided with average weight distribution, and in theory would be used for both Defense and Endurance purposes. That being said, there are numerous other options which are better for those types, and even Combination types which also in theory would benefit from this type of WD have much better choices (such as Ten Heavy). Ten Balance is the heaviest out of all of the Balance weight disks, and generally speaking, is chosen over the others when customizing. Due to the light weight, there is no competitive use.

Blade Base (BB): Semi-Flat

Main article: Blade Base - Semi-Flat
  • Weight: 7 grams

This part's tip is what gives this BB its uniqueness. It is sharp but flattened on the very end. The movement pattern exhibited when launched straight into a BeyStadium is best suited for Endurance purposes. However, when launched on a slant it begins to move in an extremely controlled, circular attack-type pattern. Seeing as a flat tip would sacrifice all of its Survival ability while a sharp tip would sacrifice its Defense ability. Being a mixture of both allows it to have Balance. Here are two sample customizations:
