Thunder Crest, unactivated, should stay out for 15 seconds before vanishing, according to the Japanese wiki. Sounds good to me.
But take a look at this bit from Garuga's stream yesterday: http://www.twitch.tv/lonelygaruga/b/...394?t=5h26m05s. The Crest wasn't activated (it would look different), but it vanishes at 5:26:13, for a duration of around 7 seconds. Not 15.
Keep watching and there's another even clearer half-duration Thunder Crest: cast at 5:26:19, a second is cast at 5:26:22, and the first vanishes at 5:26:27.
This also applies to assist Thunder Crest. There's an example at http://www.twitch.tv/lonelygaruga/b/...983?t=5h03m57s - again, 7-8 seconds and it vanishes.
My guess is that if Thunder Crest is far enough off the edge for you to be able to place a second one, its duration on the field is halved.
Has anyone else seen this, and does anyone know the precise conditions for this to happen?
