Notes

Xenesis5: [Grand Buster Lance]'s stability, hit, evasion, and damage calculation are all based on physical characteristics. [Grand Buster Lance] is casted as [Buster Lance] first, which is treated as a physical skill. Meanwhile, [Grand Buster Lance] itself is treated as a magic skill. Hence, the caster cannot use [Grand Buster Lance] while under the effects of [Bleed] or [Silence]. Since [Grand Buster Lance] is treated as a magic skill, it can be affected by [Concentrate], but not [Whack].
