    Default Chrono series - Who was in your final team?

    Obviously shion should avoid this thread so she doesn't get spoilers







    My final team was usually Crono, Frog and Magus, though I liked using Crono Lucca and Robo as well.

    In Cross, my favorite team is pretty much the CC equivalent of my CT team of Serge, Glenn, and Guile, though I liked switching in Kid and Pierre (with full hero gear) in for a mix-up.

    I seem to remember using Crono, Marle, and Magus most frequently. With CC it was probably Serge, Kid, and Guile, but it's been so long since I played I honestly can't remember for sure.

    I used to go Crono/Magus/Frog. Then I switched to Crono/Magus/Ayla to gain the ability to steal from bosses. It is a less well rounded party, with very limited healing ability. But seeing as I know the game like the back of my hand at this point the extra offensive firepower it brings to the table more than makes up for it.

    For Chrono Cross I tend to used Serge/Glenn/Kid. I think Serge/Glenn/Karsh is a better party (Karsh is more damage + shares element with Glenn), I'm just a sucker for having main story characters in my party.

    Chrono, Magus, and Robo.

    Oh dear god this is the group from hell. Make sure to give Robo all your magic tabs, and on his own he can heal more then Chrono and Marle can together. Before I made a run of that game using that trick I'd use Marle instead just for the healing.

    In Cross I don't think I've stuck with the same party more then once, though I remember my first time using the little alien guy and Grobryc.

    I use Chrono, Marle, and either Frog or Magus. It may not be the "best" team, but I play my favorites first.

    Besides, Haste rocks.

    I should probably replay the game with more thorough use of Triple Techs. I barely used them but as I recall they could be quite powerful.

    Naturally, the Crono/Marle/Magus party has no Triple Techs.

    My first playthrough I needed Chrono/Marle/Frog so Marle and Frog could keep my health up, but when I played through on new game plus and had amassed an abundance of mega-elixers that didnt matter when used in the final battle I took Chrono, Robo and Ayla since Im pretty sure that's the heaviest damage team and I had to fight Lavos every 30 minutes for a new ending

    Personaly I always found Frog beter than Marle for healing. You loose on the single target, but the multi-target heal is well worth it.

    Giving Ayla magic tabs has an even bigger effect on her heal, since her magic stat is so damn low to begin with.

    Chrono/Magus/Ayla. I love stealing. For the final boss I usually go with Chrono/Magus/Lucca and spam Luminare/Dark Matter/Flare. Healing is for losers.

    For CC I go with Serge/Glenn/Kid.

    Yeah, but she can't heal a group without a dual tech.

    I like Frog cause he has good synergy with Crono and has the Heal spell and Frog Squash. I kind of feel bad for Marle cause she is so dependent on others to be effective.

    For stealing you should play with Marle and Ayla, to take advantage of their Dual Tech Twin Charm.

    She also doesn't have access to 3/4 of the elemental attacks, where as Robo has every type except water.

    I may do my next play through dropping all my Magic tabs on Frog though, but I don't know if his heals will keep up with Robo's.

    I believe they even out. Frog has a higher MAG stat but Heal Beam has a higher base formula than Heal so it may actually balance each other out, even then I can say that at high enough levels it easily gets the job done.

    The game isn't exactly hard enough to force any sort of consistent use of the Tabs. Sure, the broken mechanics make it "best" to give them to Robo, but you can get through the entire game with just Ayla or Marle healing. I usually go through with Marle as my only healer, and I only rarely need to use a party-healing Double Tech.

    Marle sucks. She has some good dual techs but that's about it. Ayla is such a powerhouse that she doesn't need heals and the party doesn't take much damage waiting for her to charm each boss twice.
