Beyblade X Impact Drake Guide

Impact Drake is the UX-11 Starter from Takara Tomy, released in Japan on December 28, 2024. In the West, Hasbro packaged the same blade under the Drop Attack Battle Set (model G0842), pairing it with a Hover Wyvern second bey and Entry Launchers — exact bundle contents, including which Ratchet and Bit each bey carries, and pricing vary by retailer and region, so check the current listing rather than assuming a fixed count or price. Hasbro kept the English name Impact Drake for the Western release, so the two versions are easy to match up on a shelf even though the box art and set contents differ.

What's actually in the box

The UX-11 Starter breaks down into three parts plus a launcher. The blade, ImpactDrake, is a right-spin Attack type built around four rubber "dragon head" contact points -- a distinctive sculpt that's a big part of why collectors chase this piece even outside competitive play. It belongs to the Unique Line, which means it uses resin launcher hooks rather than the metal hooks found on Basic Line blades, so pay attention to that when matching it with a launcher. The ratchet is 9-60 (9 contact points, height 60), and the bit is Low Rush (LR). The Starter box also includes a String Launcher and instructions, so a sealed UX-11 is a complete out-of-box setup, not just a blade.

How it plays, according to the community

Beyblade Wiki and community consensus treat Impact Drake as a strong Knock-Out and Burst attacker, and fan-measured figures put it among the heavier blades in the line at roughly 39 grams -- though that weight comes from community measurements rather than a published Takara Tomy spec sheet, so treat it as a useful reference point rather than an official number. The tradeoffs are real: the rubber contact points wear down with repeated use, stamina suffers badly in same-spin (right-vs-right) matchups, and the top-heavy weight distribution can cause stability issues mid-battle. Most players place it as a niche, specialist Attack option rather than a top-tier competitive pick -- it's more likely to earn a spot in a display case for its dragon-head design than in a tournament loadout.

If you're buying to compete, confirm the exact listing matches the UX-11 code and ratchet/bit notation above, and check with your event organiser on current part legality before relying on it in a bracket.

Is Impact Drake a good tournament pick?
