Part by part
Parts in detail
A CoroCoro-exclusive limited recolor of Salamalyon in purple and yellow, paired with the Revolver Attack weight disk; uses the second mold of the Fire Cracker ring and the first mold of Salamalyon Base.
| Slot | Part | Weight | Spin | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Attack Ring | Fire Cracker | 4.7 (Mold 1) / 5.1 (Mold 2) g | Right and Left | Rounded sides make it less consistent than similarly shaped rings, and its head protrusions are too recoil-prone for Stamina or Defense use, while the part itself is somewhat fragile with fairly large weight variance between copies. |
| Weight Disk | Revolver Attack | 15.0 g | Lighter than Heavy and Eight Heavy while sharing a similarly compact weight distribution, but its recoil-prone contact points and middling weight leave it outperformed even by Heavy Attack in its own defensive niche. | |
| Blade Base | Salamalyon Base | 5.9 (Mold 1) / 6.1 (Mold 2) g | A light base whose narrow flat tip moves aggressively but resists flower patterning and handles recoil poorly; figurine-mounting poles hurt Life After Death and cause scraping, though less severely than on Griffolyon Base. |
Weights are single copies weighed on their own; a part can vary by a few tenths of a gram.
In play and in the story
Its Fire Cracker attack ring is described as mainly decorative, closely resembling Dranzer V2's ring in shape but producing far more recoil and not connecting attacks effectively.
- Distributed as a CoroCoro Comic exclusive.
- Unlike its Hidden Spirits relatives Salamalyon and Bakutenryu Donitrus, it swaps the usual Eight Wide weight disk for a Revolver Attack disk.
