The time Slash Cross takes to complete a Charge Shot is shorter than the Flashing effect caused by it. This means that with precise timing the user is able to land another hit as soon as flashing ends. While difficult to do, doing this can maximize the damage output from Slash Cross.

Slash Cross can also be used in order to punish opponents who are using [[Tengu Cross]], with the Charge Speed of Slash Cross being 20 frames faster than Tengu Cross on Charge level 5 and Wide Slash having more range than Tengu Racket. However by timing Tengu Racket correctly, the opponent is able to avoid the Charge Shot, if the Tengu Racket either hits the player which applies [[Statuses_(BN6)#Big_drag|Big Drag]] interrupting their Charge Shot and pushing the player back or being pushed back during the wind up through the Wind Gust Tengu Racket creates. While being pushed back the opponent can then prepare the next Tengu Racket, which can result in the turn going long enough to go into the next Custom Screen.

Slash Cross

Slash Cross is the third Cross linked in Gregar using the power of SlashMan. As a Element 6 Sword.png Sword element Cross, Slash Cross has the highest damage potential of all the Gregar crosses.

While in Slash Cross:

  • MegaMan is weak to Element 6 Break.png Break attacks.
  • Non-screen dimming Element 6 Sword.png Sword chips gain +50 damage.
  • Charging Non-screen dimming Element 6 Sword.png Sword chips adds a Sonic Boom effect. This effect takes 60 frames to charge.

Wide Slash is a 3 panel wide attack that travels 2 panels forward dealing Element 6 None.png None element, Flashing and Flinching Damage.

Attack Formula (20 × Attack level + 60)
Attack Level 1 2 3 4 5
Damage 80 100 120 140 160

Notes

  • Wide Slash does not pierce objects. This means that it can be blocked an enemy standing behind an Object.
  • Charged Sword chips will not change their original range, they will only travel forward as a projectile.
  • Some chips are not Primary sword element but can still be charged by Slash Cross, these chips will not gain the passive +50 damage increase. These include: Chip Icon 6 Standard 077.png ElecSwrd, Chip Icon 6 Standard 075.png FireSwrd, Chip Icon 6 Standard 078.png BambSwrd and Chip Icon 6 Standard 076.png AquaSwrd.
  • Using the Chip Charge in Slash Cross near the end of turn can allow the user to activate the Slash Glitch.

Frame Data

  • The Charge Shot has a 12 frame windup before landing on the first row and 2 extra frames before hitting the second row.
  • The Charge Shot lasts for 30 frames in total.
  • Counterable on frames 6-21.

Competitive Overview

Wide Slash has the highest damage potential of all the Gregar crosses but is lacking in range. Chip Icon 6 Standard 165.png AreaGrab is a very common chip that allows Slash Cross to confirm his Charge Shots.

The time Slash Cross takes to complete a Charge Shot is shorter than the Flashing effect caused by it. This means that with precise timing the user is able to land another hit as soon as flashing ends. While difficult to do, doing this can maximize the damage output from Slash Cross.

It is rare to use the Chip Charge ability of Slash Cross as it would be time the user is not using to land Charge Shots. Changing into Slash Cross just for using the Chip Charge is risky as Breaking chips are often very powerful.

While the Slash Glitch might seem like a powerful option, it tends to not be worth using. You are sacrificing an extra chip and needing to use a precise input that can be easily interrupted for not that much damage. It can be used to produce unusual and unexpected attacks such as Step Shrubby.

Slash Cross can also be used in order to punish opponents who are using Tengu Cross, with the Charge Speed of Slash Cross being 20 frames faster than Tengu Cross on Charge level 5 and Wide Slash having more range than Tengu Racket. However by timing Tengu Racket correctly, the opponent is able to avoid the Charge Shot, if the Tengu Racket either hits the player which applies Big Drag interrupting their Charge Shot and pushing the player back or being pushed back during the wind up through the Wind Gust Tengu Racket creates. While being pushed back the opponent can then prepare the next Tengu Racket, which can result in the turn going long enough to go into the next Custom Screen.

Counter Play

Many Element 6 Break.png Break element attacks deal high damage, making Slash Cross a risky option without the appropriate defense. Chips such as Chip Icon 6 Mega 018 Falzar.png GrndManSP and Chip Icon 6 Giga 002 Falzar.png MetrKnuk are very common and powerful Element 6 Break.png Break chips.

Blocking Chip Icon 6 Standard 165.png AreaGrab chips is a key strategy in denying the damage from Slash Cross. Chips such as , Chip Icon 6 Standard 166.png GrabBnsh and Chip Icon 6 Standard 167.png GrabRvng can prevent area area loss. Defense Chips such as Chip Icon 6 Standard 189.png AntiDmg and Chip Icon 6 Standard 184.png LifeAur are very common to prevent the enemy from regaining their area back.

Competitive Overview

Slash Beast allows for a very fast and powerful Chip Charge. It is often used with Status applying attacks that stop the enemy from reacting to it. Slash X is a common finisher following the paralysis effect of Chip Icon 6 Giga 004 Gregar.png ColForce.

Slash X can provide for a devastating attack on Tengu Cross for 800 damage if the attack lands in the middle of the X.

Counter Play

It is very easy for the enemy to dodge Slash X in normal conditions. The enemy moving in cardinal directions can reduce the likelihood of the attack landing.

While Slash X has a high damage potential, it is very unreliable especially for the removal of Chip Icon 6 Standard 184.png LifeAur, and is often used as the last option.
