Crackling Cornpopper Damage

Weapon Physically Shows When Skill is Active

Cornpopper Overheat
You can easily tell when the Crackling Cornpopper skill is active on the Cornpopper and Mighty Cornpopper by looking at the gunlance itself. If the gunlance has a hatch open and appears burnt, the skill is active.

Does Not Affect Other Attacks

It is important to note that this skill only affects shelling and fire attacks. Moves like the Wyrmstake Full Blast, as well the gunlance's normal melee attacks, are not affected by the damage increase.
