The definitive guide to the Elements in Chrono Cross. Includes charts containing every element and their levels, effects, prices, and where to obtain them.
📃 Introduction | Notes
Elements enable your characters to channel the energies of the world, or cast “spells” of various types. Elements perform a variety of functions. You can use them to attack, heal, or revive characters who’ve been knocked out of battle. They can lower an enemy’s defenses, prevent them from using Elements of a certain color, or remove them entirely from the battleground. Elements can also boost a character’s strength or resilience, recharge other Elements so they can be used again, or they can “trap” other Elements that an enemy might use, so the characters end up stealing the Element from the enemy!
There are also very rare Elements that enable you to “Summon” great spirits to inflict immense amounts of damage against your enemy, heal the entire party to full health, or affect the battlefield in some crucial way to the party’s favor. You won’t come across many Summon Elements until late in the game. More info on these can be found at the bottom.
Be sure to Like and Favorite accordingly. I am working on more guides and will continue to add and format the current ones until I am satisfied. Feel free to leave any comments, suggestions or questions.
Hope it helps!
