What it does

This skill is not treated as Unsheathed. Meanwhile, srd and lrd can affect this. Long Range too can affect., If you have Spinning Slash Whirlwind animation in your present, and using this skill while moving forward at same time, it will perform an 2MP bar cost Aerial Cut of Last/Additional Hit. Also, immediately end Spinning Slash Whirlwind animation upon performing Additional Hit of this skill., The additional MP consumption for the Additional Attack is unaffected by any Combo Tag nor MP Cost modifying effects., This skill has unique proration(2 Proration in one skill) = Main Hit can inflict Magic Proration and Additional Hits can inflict Physical Proration. However, their damage is still based on Physical Proration., This Additional Hit has +Critical Damage bonus passively depending on Twin Slash’s cd buff level(no need to use Twin Slash, just level up that). Its effect is 50% of Twin Slash’s Critical Damage bonus. But if your target has Blind, then it is 100% of Twin Slash’s Critical Damage bonus instead of 50% bonus.. However, it is Floor(50% cd bonus) first then multiplied by 2, ex. Twin lv 5 => floor(75 cd/2) * 2 = 74cd. Also, cy-grimoire said: CD bonus of Aerial Cut can't become half when total CD over 300%. Example, if cd bonus aerial cut = 37 in less than 300cd, and still gives 37 cd bonus if above 300cd.But, if you use this skill at 8m or above, it has a 20 flat cd penalty every 1m starting from 8m. Flat cd reduction formula = [20 * MAX(0; Distance - 7)]. Also, STR Multiplier bonus on Additional Hit will be reduced by 20% every 1m. Same formula as above = -[20 * MAX(0; Distance - 7)]%,(for example, if you use the skill at 12m then the add hit gets -100 cdmg & no more bonus mult from STR)

Note

Distance is when you use Aerial from beginning not when trigger last/additional hit. Oh, this flat cdmg reduction & str bonus multi reduction is still the same even if the target got blinded or not. ******************************************************* Fun Fact: Aerial Cut First Hit's Base Skill Multiplier is actually same as All hits of Spinning Slash's Multiplier. All hits of Spinning Slash refer to First Hit and 3x Whirlwind Hit. Oh yeah, Aerial Cut has a Dex multi bonus based on Aerial's level as addition btw. Example, Spinning Slash(SS) lv 10 = 1.5 + 3 * 0.5 = 3 mult. And it is same as Aerial Cut's first hit mult which is 3 plus Dex scale as addition. In meaning… registlet "Spinning Slash Compress" that add 0.5 mult on each hit of SS, makin it look like, 3 multi into 5 multi since it has 4 hit * 0.5 = +2 mult. Then without doubt that Aerial Cut First Hit will get that +2 multi too. Finally it is going to be (5 + Dex/100)multi in the end with max lvl plus registlet SS. Thanks to toriye for this test.
