The Competitive View
Its elliptical shape's acute-angled contact points keep recoil below Valtryek V2's despite looking heavy-recoil, but this same low recoil costs it Stamina versus layers like Neptrius and Wyvron; in Defense, e.g. the setup Driger Slash Heavy/Gravity/2Glaive Defense/Orbit, its shape hooks and causes Attack-type opponents like Valtryek and Xcalius to self-Burst against its own strong Burst resistance, and it can partially counter Doomscizor D2 by catching its compact blades.
Verdict as the draft gives it: Driger Slash's low recoil makes it unsuited for Attack, and while its once-notable niche countering the now-banned Doomscizor D2 has faded, its strong teeth and Burst resistance still make it a worthwhile collection piece.
