I believe no one has a bow master now. But I do have a wind archer
I'm going with both anyway, but I was wondering exactly how the new Hurricane hypers worked.
Hurricane's base damage is 300%
Hurricane- Reinforce (hyper): "Damage +20%".
First question. Does this mean Cane+Reinforce is 320% (300%+20%) or 360% (300+.2x300)?
Hurricane- Split Attack (hyper): "Number of Attacks +1, reduces Damage to 65% of the original Damage"
Second question. Does this mean [(300x.65)x1.2]x2 for 234%x2=468%
Or does it mean [(300x.65)+(300x.2)] for 255%x2 510%
tl;dr
Does Hurricane -Reinforce multiply or add in?
I figured I should ask before trying to test it myself, which can be difficult with AFA on low-level (no PDR) mobs and such a small variance in possibilities.

You can probably check by resetting your AP and using a lower att weapon/equips until you have a stable damage range (~1k or ~10k)
I don't have a Bowmaster so I can't check it myself personally.
If you don't know the answer kag, then don't post. This question is not exclusive to bow masters either.
The Hyper Skill Reinforces which give +20% damage or some variation of a % damage boost is multiplicative. You get straight up 20% more damage overall on Hurricane then. Formula wise, your range is multiplied by 1.2 when using Hurricane. It's no different from the %total damage potential line. In fact, in the formula, your +20% reinforce is added with your %total damage.
Same thing applies for the split attack. Numbers are less impressive but when you start capping you'll do twice the damage.
Since multiplication is commutative (5 x 2 = 2 x 5), it does not matter if the calculation from the split occurs before the calculation from the reinforce.
tl;dr
360%
468%
if 0% total damage

Butts.
213 181 178 166 165 164 162 152 147 135 134 130 125 123 123 120 120 104 100 100
Ah, thanks! I figured they multiplied in for 468, but I was secretly hoping for the slight boost from adding after a split.
Spoiler!
Your bowmaster's existence invalidated by kag
but she does have a wind archer.
