First off, I don't think it's 20%. Second, I am pretty sure it's at the time of battle since they have a banner for it. At the start of the battle you get a bunch of bonuses and it's included in that. If I recall correctly, the order in which bonuses are applied is episode multiplier, faction, battle cube, position, trans scan, max level.
