Activation

This skill activates when making a + (or cross) shaped match. Specifically, the two lines must intersect at non-endpoints. The cross can be lopsided, provided it still meets that definition.

The line of largest size will be used for skill activation. If the lines are of equal size, then the horizontal line is used.

Effect

A cross-shaped match is technically two matches. When activated, this skill multiplies the damage of both matches.

However, only the first of the two matches is affected by skill level. The second match will always use the multiplier from skill level 1.

Other damage multipliers, such as those based on match size, combo count, type matchups, or status conditions, are applied as usual. See Pokémon Shuffle → Damage for more details.

Skill level growth

Increasing skill level will increase the damage dealt by the initial match.
