Grand Cross is an offensive skill of the Crusader class that summons a cross of Holy light centered on the caster, damaging the caster along with every enemy caught in the area. It is the signature area-of-effect attack of the class and draws on both physical and magical power.

Overview

Grand Cross places a field of Holy energy around the Crusader. Enemies standing in or stepping into the area take repeated Holy damage. The attack also strikes the caster, who absorbs a reduced portion of the same damage, so it must be used with care. Its power blends the user's physical and magical attack, rewarding builds that invest in both.

Mechanics

The skill conjures a Holy field that pulses while it persists. Damage is drawn from the combined total of the caster's physical and magical attack.

Damage formula: Damage = (100 + 40 × SkillLv)% of (ATK + MATK)

Enemies in the area can be struck up to three times over the field's brief lifetime. The caster is also hit, but takes only half of the calculated damage. The skill costs 20% of the caster's current HP to use, and the caster's defense is reduced by 33% during the cast. Undead and Demon enemies caught in the cross are blinded; this does not affect other players.

Requirements

• Consumes 20% of the caster's current HP on use, in addition to the SP cost.

Notes

• Both physical and magical attack contribute to the damage, so equipment and stats that raise either value improve it.
• The caster takes half of the skill's damage each time the field pulses; combined with the HP cost, survivability gear is recommended.
• Defense is lowered while casting, leaving the Crusader more vulnerable during the 3-second cast.
