Buff: Difference between revisions

In most scenarios, the effects of Buffs do not stack, but multiple Buffs that increase different stats can be used simultaneously. In both ''Chrono Cross'' and ''Chrono Trigger'', buffs influencing the [[Hit]] percentage do not augment an ally's chances of successfully stealing [[item]]s. For example, the [[tech]]s [[Pilfer]] and [[Snatch]] used by [[Kid]] and [[Mel]], respectively, as well as the dual-tech [[DoubleTake]] in ''Chrono Cross'' are immune to Hit Buffs. Similarly, while [[Ayla]]'s [[Charm]] tech, and her dual-tech [[Twin Charm] performed with [[Marle]], are un-influenced by Buffs, the [[Alluring Top] [[List of Chrono Trigger accessories|accessory]] can improve the odds of successfully netting a stolen item.  

Arguably the best use of Buffs in ''Chrono Cross'' is the EagleEye Green Element. When used on characters whose fierce (or third-tier) strikes all foes, such as [[Guile]'s [[Rod]]s or [[Mel]'s [[Boomerang]s, the Hit Percent becomes 99% and dishes out large amounts of damage, decimating large parties of enemies quickly. Combine the tactic with the buff [[Strengthen]] for added damage. Similarly, combining an Element that changes the field effect to all one color, such as [[All White]], with Genius, and the use of a White Element that strikes all foes, like [[MeteorShower]] can decimate entire hoards of monsters. To maximize the damage output, use and Element that matches the [[Innate]] of the caster and use an Innate-changing element on the target or targets. Continuing the above example, use MeteorShower with [[Riddel]] on an all White field after using [[TurnBlack]] on all foes if they are not already Black Innate for massive damage-dealing.
