Grandwalker Nexus

Grandwalker Nexus (ネクサス ; guranwōkā nekusasu) is a Nexus subtype, introduced in SD43 and SD44. Grandwalkers represent beings rather than locations, so they feature human characters in their art. Grandwalkers were the first Nexuses to have families, which always included Grandwalker and the world they were affiliated to.
Grandwalker Nexuses also debuted a new symbol, called the God Symbol. This symbol shapes like a teardrop and, similar to the Ultimate symbol, does not represent any of the six colors.
Every Grandwalker Nexus has a text which states it is immune to every effect which doesn't specify Grandwalker Nexus. However, this effect only affects it when it is a Grandwalker Nexus, not when it is a Grandwalker Nexus card, meaning that while on the Trash, Hand, Removed Zone or Deck, Grandwalker Nexuses are treated as Nexuses, and are thus affected by effects which say Nexus instead of Grandwalker Nexus.
Grandwalker Nexuses have semi-exclusive keywords: Core Charge, Grand Skill, Grand Field and Grandphosis. While it'll always have Core Charge, the remaining skills can be sorted in any way, and additional Grand Field/Grand Skills can be added via Saga Braves.
The text on a Grandwalker Nexus will always contain the following two portions:
# This Nexus can only be affected by effects that specify "Grandwalker Nexus". Cores can only be placed on this Nexus through the effect of "Core Charge" or effects that specify "Grandwalker Nexus", also, cores on this Nexus cannot be moved except by effects that specify "Grandwalker Nexus".
# Core Charge: ([Family{ies} [and Cost X or higher])◆When you Summon/Advent(/Use/Deploy) a target Spirit(/Magic/Nexus), you can put one core from the void onto this Nexus.◆When this Nexus is deployed, if you do not control a Nexus with the same card name as this card, you can send the top three cards of your deck to the trash. For each target card among them, place one core from the void onto this Nexus.
A Core Charge condition always only charges for Spirits. However, when specified, they can also charge for other cards types. For example, The Grandwalker Apollon has the Core Charge condition (Astral Dragon/Worldswalker/Avatar & Cost 3 or higher), meaning he can only charge for Cost 3 or more Spirits that have one of the three families: Astral Dragon, Worldswalker, or Avatar. Meanwhile, The Grandwalker Hephaestus has the Core Charge condition (Artificial Soldier/Celeste/Avatar & Cost 3 or higher) (Saga Brave), meaning he can charge for Cost 3 or more Spirits that have one of the three families: Artificial Solider, Celeste, or Avatar; as well as Saga Braves with no other conditions on costs or families.
When using a Grand Skill or Grandphosis, the effect requires an amount of core to be sent from the Grandwalker to the Void to pay the cost, whereas most Grand Fields remain active as long as the Nexus remains on its proper level. Some cards, such as The Grandwalker Poseidon, for an example, has a cost for its Grand Field.
