Calling all Shelter Drake enjoyers! 🛡️🐲 Need advice for Attack and Balance combos (No 4-50UF please)

Hi everyone,

I know Shelter Drake isn't exactly sitting at the top of the meta right now due to its weight issues, but I’m a big fan of its blade design and I'm determined to make it work. I feel like its aggressive shape has untapped potential if handled with the right technique and combo.

I’m looking for two specific builds:

A Pure Attack Combo: I want to lean into those sharp contact points. However, I don’t have 4-50 or the UF bit, so I need alternatives that can keep it stable enough to deliver a heavy blow without self-KOing instantly.

A Balance/Anti-Meta Combo: I’ve been thinking about tk or tp. I want something that can hold the center but still has enough movement to punish opponents.

A few notes on my testing so far:

I tried 2-60, thinking the dual-wing shape would align, but as many of you know, the alignment is off.

The blade geometry is great, but the weight gap is the main hurdle.

What Ratchet/Bit combinations are you guys running to compensate for its weight? How are you launching it to maximize its survival vs. attack power?

Looking forward to hearing from the "low-tier" heroes!
