'''Aqua Cross''' (also known as '''Spout Cross''') is the first Cross linked in [[Falzar]] using the power of [[AquaMan]]. As an [[File:Element 6 Aqua.png|link=]] [[Element|Aqua]] element Cross, Aqua Cross utilizes a combination of quick Bubble Shots and devastating [[Multipliers|double damage]] [[File:Element 6 Aqua.png|link=]] Aqua chips to wash away its opponents. Aqua Cross also has additional utility in the form of being able to maintain normal movement on [[Battlefield#Panel_Types|Ice Panels]], and recovering 50 HP for every real time [[File:Element 6 Aqua.png|link=]] 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 [[Element|Elec]] attacks, and receiving a hit from one will deal double damage and remove Aqua Cross from play.

Aqua Cross (also known as Spout Cross) is the first Cross linked in Falzar using the power of AquaMan. As an Element 6 Aqua.png Aqua element Cross, Aqua Cross utilizes a combination of quick Bubble Shots and devastating double damage Element 6 Aqua.png 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 Element 6 Aqua.png 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:

  • 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 Element 6 Aqua.png Aqua chips can be charged to deal double damage, which takes 40 frames. This charge is twice as fast in Aqua Beast.

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 Element 6 Aqua.png Aqua, Flashing and Flinching damage.

  • It is possible to dodge Bubble Shot by moving quickly out of the damaging bubbles before they detonate for damage.
  • The Invisible + Barrier interaction causes the Charge Shot to go through the opponent and miss.

Competitive Overview

The quick charge time, range, and speed of Aqua Cross's Bubble Shot is typically used to remove a pivotal Chip Icon 6 Standard 189.png 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 Element 6 Elec.png Elec attacks. Elec Cross makes for a threatning counter to Aqua Cross because of the quick Charge Shot and the +50 damage to Element 6 Elec.png Elec Chips.

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 Element 6 Elec.png Elec attacks.

Elec Cross makes for a threatning counter to Aqua Cross because of the quick Charge Shot and the +50 damage to Element 6 Aqua.png Elec Chips.

Aqua Spiral lasts for a long time, which if it misses leaves the player vulnerable to the enemy's attacks.
