A single cross deals 4 hits upon appearing, though overlapping multiple of them does not seem to result in 4 hits per cross. It's unclear if the initial hitbox is shared across the entire skill or just inconsistent on enemies that aren't large enough to cover multiple crosses fully.
- The additional hits afterwards do properly do 4 hits for each overlapping cross however, and it is easy enough to land 2 of them on any given target, resulting in an average of 5 initial hits and 8 additional cross hits.
The different stages count as separate buffs, so fighting multiple enemies with varying stages of Valasia Seed growth can buff multiple skill tiers at once.
An enemy hit will spawn 5 Souls of the Dead in an arc above it, which will then start homing in on players that do not have that soul's corresponding buff at 5 stacks yet.
- It should be noted that it is still possible to absorb a soul even if you have the buff maxed out, which will refresh its duration, so standing between it and a player it's homing in on will still prevent them from receiving the buff.
Since Valasia Seed never expires or decreases in growth stage, it is impossible to buff anything but Bravery tier skills past the first 3 Special Active/Valasia Core uses on any given enemy, especially in longer boss fights.
