I'm assuming it will not. But the again, this to optimize HD combo damage, any cl.C will scale damage quite a lot, hence why cl.D into df.A is your best option and just s.C into hammer after it, no cl.C is the key in high damage combos, again, only in HD, outside of that, cl.C into hammer into cl.C, df.A, in EX hammer is by far your best omtion on driveless or 1 drive combos.
