#CHRONO TRIGGER 3D CHARACTERS HOW TO#
I'll profile a number of very good endgame armors, and you, the player, can decide how to allocate them. With regards to armor and helmets, this is a little more difficult to answer than the weapon question. Note: This section switches answers based on the version you're playing make sure if you only care about the NDS version that you select it from our navigation! Weapons My favorite party at the end of the game is Crono, Robo, and Ayla, but I certainly mix and match depending on the situation and my mood. When that chance comes, just pick your favorite characters and roll with it. For most of the game your party has varying amounts of flexibility, but by the end game you can fully customize your team's lineup. All of them have good techs, all of them are capable of both offense and support roles, and any of them can make an effective team.


Ed) All seven playable characters in Chrono Trigger are very good. (And you're a silly person for asking it, reader. I feel that this is a bit of a silly question. Before that, the Mountain of Woe is a good way to get some experience and TP too. For those interested in leveling up large amounts, the best areas to level are the game's final sets of dungeons available to you - anywhere in the Black Omen, the conveyor belt in the Geno Dome, and anywhere in the Giant's Claw are good choices. Depending on how much time you spend leveling up and what equipment you have on, a suitable level for beating the game could go far above or below that estimate. Generally most players are able to beat the late-game bosses at levels in the neighborhood of 40-50. Many attacks and techs have damage formulas that take character level into account, so as a general rule your party will always grow stronger with additional levels. With each level, each character gains in stats a predetermined amount (sometimes zero) - the only stat that never changes from levels up is Speed. Maxing out levels is not required to beat the game's most difficult enemies, and is only for players that are willing to put in several more hours of game time. In Chrono Trigger, the maximum level is 99, displayed as ** in your status screen.

How high do your levels need to be to finish the game? Not terribly high. If Ayla's level is too low to Charm effectively and consistently, then try using the dual tech Twin Charm (Ayla and Marle) for better odds. Charm is essentially the game's item-stealing skill. My last note, I promise: Charm (Ayla's fifth tech) is a very important tech for obtaining strong equipment and tabs. If not, then you have some storyline to clear before you can get item hunting for that item "at the end of the game." However, when I say "when you are able to open black chests," that refers to a plot event somewhat earlier in the game. If it says "The Fated Hour" or "The Final Battle" then these endgame quests are all available to you. If you aren't sure how far in the game you are, check the subtitle of your saved game. One more note: I say "at the end of the game" or "endgame" a whole lot in this guide. All three factors are important in strengthening your characters in the long run. Levels are gained through experience points from battles, equipment is bought and found all over the game, and tabs are special items that increase a single stat by one point. In Chrono Trigger, there are three ways to customize your party's general effectiveness: levels, equipment, and stat items ("tabs"). So, are you the type of person that wants to get the most out of your characters in a RPG? Whether you max out stats and levels or just want to beat the game, it's safe to say that under normal conditions players want their characters to be effective, and use whatever means they can to make their characters stronger.
