Grand Cross

[The Legendary Joe]

Okay, I know the atk side of Grand cross isn't affected by % mods like Racial or elemental cards, but the Matk %'s from weapons like Bazerald and Keris work just fine. Does this mean that Racial Magic cards like Hell Apocalypse and Zakudam would work with Grand cross?

I never used Grand Cross with my paladins/crusaders so i dont know :|

Grand Cross damage is (atk+matk)*(100% + 40% skill level).
I know +% racial/element physical damage cards dont work for sure. I would assume it would be the same for +% magical damage racial/elemental cards. I don't see anything in the formula that would say it does.

As far as I know only cards and gears that directly increase your MATK/ATK or a stat that increases MATK/ATK work with grand cross. I used to play GC paladin but haven't bothered collecting the new magical racial cards or to test them. Maybe a GM could confirm?

I should have some time tomorrow to check this one on the test server for ya'll.

Or we do code check

I don't know the skilldata1 and skilldata2 are, and I only know the unit is what gives GC that weirdest attack shape ever, but that's enough to answer the question about GC and cards: no, cards do not boost it at all. You need flat atk or matk boost, or a theoretical custom gear that directly boosts GC damage that currently does not exist.

Coulda sworn that the Imperial Guard/Imperial Spear combo boosted grand cross? Oh well, After I asked that, what I had in mind seemed stupid anyway, if Zakudam did work, it'd boost the damage I do to myself as well.

[Namine]

If Imperial combo mentions that it directly boosts Grand Cross damage, then it's ok. However, any % bonus damage stated any other way (such as boost holy magic damage, etc) will not work.

Think of it like Acid Demo. Unless it's Nini's Hatred where it specifically boosts the skill, then other cards that normally reads boost damage by % does not work.
