First Cross Fight B-Daman Launcher Guide

Congrats on getting your first Cross Fight B-Daman Warrior. I will be listing a short tutorial on your first B-Daman and what to expect from the Box.


CB01 Starter Accele Dracyan 
The Dracyan is probably what I would recommend to many B-Daman players who are picking up B-Daman for the first time. The Accele Dracyan is a Power Type B-da Launcher and comes with a basic "Accele Core". Its easy to put together and is comfortable for all grip techniques.


Your B-Daman comes as a Plastic Kit Model aka PlaMo or PlaKit. 


Just follow the easy instructions and put you B-Daman together. (Tools like a mini Snip tool and sanding paper or file are recommended.)


You should have 5 major sections once you cut out and assemble the necessary basic parts.


Head Part

The Head Part is where you load the Marbles. Some B-Daman like CB01and CB08 comes with a loader head cap to cover the B-da Marble loading access. The Head portion also serve as a grip support for Overhand Grip launch techniques and also a Targeting Sight (To be featured in later posts)


Arms Parts X 2

The Arm Parts are Important parts as they are also the main support and pivot steering section of the B-Daman Launcher. The Arms are also 2 of the 4 points that keeps the Core in place using the red pegs included.


Leg Part

Also known as the Base of the Launcher. The Leg Part is the main Stabilizing point of the Launcher and keeps the B-Daman Level to the ground for accurate and power shots. 


Core and Safety Pack

The Core and Safety Pack forms the Major portion of the B-Daman called the Main Core. The Core is basically a Holder & Trigger operated Marble Launcher that propels a B-da Marble when launched. There are many Core Types and each function differently according to their attributes and functions. 


To put your B-daman Launcher together, Attach the Arms and Base to the Core first using the Red Pegs and Tool (Included). Push the Peg into place after attaching the Arm/Base and use the Tool to twist lock the Peg to Fix. After, attach the head portion front (Chin) first and then locking the back clips down.

Your B-Daman Launcher is now ready?! is it?


CB03 Metal Accele Core


The Basic Accele Core that comes with the Dracyan also comes in a Heavy Upgrade version. This enhanced Core has a more rugged metal structure and PC clip and trigger lever.


The Power Type Accele Core,  focuses on power by "Accelerating" the speed of B-da Marble when launched. The secret is the Rubber Accele Guide in the Core.


The Rubber Guide, stops the bottom surface of the B-da Marble making it more difficult to propel when the trigger is pressed. 


The resistance from the Rubber Guide and the High angled Clip will force the B-da Marble to propel and rotate in a Forward rolling spin. 


This Forward Spin increases the acceleration speed of the B-da Marble when it contacts the surface of the arena. Delivering a powerful high speed shot!


Accele Dracyan Profile



The Accele Dracyan has an evenly distributed body shape and support many point of Grip Support. The Head of the B-Daman Launcher has a center fin to help in 'Targeting' and the Base is fairly stable with a 3 point contact when coupled with the Safety Pack.

Thou the Dracyan is not recommended for Rapid Fire Challenges due to its more difficult to launch Core, the Dracyan excels in Power Drive Shots that can hit through multiple targets with the right amount of practice and angling skills.
