Aqua Cross (also known as Spout Cross) is the first Cross linked in Falzar using the power of AquaMan. As an Aqua element Cross, Aqua Cross utilizes a combination of quick Bubble Shots and devastating double damage Aqua chips to wash away its opponents. Aqua Cross also has additional utility in the form of being able to maintain normal movement on Ice Panels, and recovering 50 HP for every real time Aqua chip used. Aqua Cross has the fastest buster charge time of all Crosses, and is also one of two Crosses that have the ability to boost real time chips of an element to deal double damage by charging them. Aqua Cross possesses a weakness to Elec attacks, and receiving a hit from one will deal double damage and remove Aqua Cross from play.
While in Aqua Cross:
- Equipped with AquaBody, which prevents slipping on Ice Panels and is weak to Electric attacks.
- When using a non-screen dimming Aqua chip, heal 5% Max HP, capped at 1000 Base HP for a maximum of 50 HP.
- Non-screen dimming Aqua chips can be charged to deal double damage, which takes 40 frames. This charge is twice as fast in Aqua Beast.
- Charge Shot turns into Bubble Shot.
Bubble Shot: Travels down the row and stops on first target, creating damaging bubbles that spreads to the target and the panel behind it, detonating for Aqua, Flashing and Flinching damage.

Competitive Overview
The quick charge time, range, and speed of Aqua Cross's Bubble Shot is typically used to remove a pivotal 
AntiDmg from one's opponent, allowing the user to continue their offensive momentum.
Aqua Cross can also chain attacks together while Ice Panels are in play by freezing opponents with either their Bubble Shot or an Aqua chip, leaving them vulnerable to double damage from Breaking chips.
Counter Play
Unfortunately, the majority of Elec chips have extremely fast frame data and can pierce Flashing, making it difficult to protect Aqua Cross from taking a double damage decross hit.
The Bubbled status causes Aqua Cross to take increased damage from Elec attacks.
Elec Cross makes for a threatning counter to Aqua Cross because of the quick Charge Shot and the +50 damage to Elec Chips.
