Get goin' and use the awesome power of HeatCross!
— Mr. Match


Heat Cross is the first Cross linked in Gregar using the power of HeatMan. As a Element 6 Fire.png Fire element Cross, Heat Cross utilizes the power of Heat arm to deal massive damage. Heat Cross adds +50 damage to any real time Fire chip without the need to charge them.


In competitive play, the fast charging allows for a threatning Charge Shot especially on grass. For Gregar builds without AirShoes, Heat Cross can provide an effective way of dealing consistent fire damage without the need to worry about broken panels. The very fast Charge Shot startup time and long attack lingering time mean that it can be very easy to get hit by it. If a panel of Heat Arm hits the opponent or an Object, that panel will lose its damage and cannot hit again. However, all other panels remains active until the end of the attack, this means that you can remove Defense such as Chip Icon 6 Standard 189.png AntiDmg and deal damage if the opponent walks into another panel. Going into Heat Cross can provide for a good Beast out option next turn if you find yourself without a way to remove Chip Icon 6 Standard 184.png LifeAur.

Unfortunately a large number of Element 6 Aqua.png Aqua element attacks can land easily on a stationary opponent, so the lingering Charge Shot time can leave you vulnerable to the opponent's attacks. The Charge Shot travelling 3 panels ahead can allow the opponent to completely avoid it by using Chip Icon 6 Standard 165.png AreaGrab and stepping back.

In neutral area your opponent can attempt to confirm Chip Icon 6 Mega 034.png ElmntMan Ice by stepping back and waiting for your Charge Shot to be released, and then stepping forward to be in range.

While in Heat Cross:

  • You are equipped with FireBody which is weak to Aqua attacks.
  • Non-screen dimming Fire chips gain +50 damage.
  • Your Attack value increases by 1

Fire Arm: Attacks 3 panels ahead, creating a lingering attack that lasts for 67 frames, dealing Fire element, Flashing and Flinching damage.

Fire Arm will remove Grass Panel on the first frame the attack hits that panel. An opponent stepping into the attack afterwards will take normal damage.

Using the power of Gregar, Heat Cross is able to Transform into Heat Beast.


In competitive play Heat Beast can provide for a very effective threat to Tomahawk Cross to allow the paralysis effect of Chip Icon 6 Giga 004 Gregar.png ColForce to land. Heat Beast's Beast Charged, Great Fire covers a large area which makes it a reliable way for removing Chip Icon 6 Standard 184.png LifeAur. If a panel of Great Fire hits the opponent or an Object, that panel will lose its damage and cannot hit again. However, all other panels remains active until the end of the attack, this means that you can remove Defense such as Chip Icon 6 Standard 189.png AntiDmg and deal damage if the opponent walks into another panel. The +1 Attack gained by heat beast can allow builds with 4 Attack to reach the 200 damage threshhold to break Chip Icon 6 Standard 184.png LifeAur.

Unfortunately similar to Heat Cross, the lingering Beast Charg also leaves you open to Element 6 Aqua.png Aqua element attacks. The Beast Charged can also be completely avoided if the opponent uses an Chip Icon 6 Standard 165.png AreaGrab and stepping back.

In neutral area attempting to cover the maximum attack area will leave you at risk of being hit by Chip Icon 6 Mega 034.png ElmntMan Ice and getting decrossed.

If Great Fire is interrupted after the start up animation starts, you will lose the chip used to chip charge it without the attack activating.
