Steel Shade (黒の影 kuro no kage?, "Black Shadow") is a boss exclusive to Chrono Trigger (DS) that appears in the Dimensional Vortex.
Steel Shade resembles Crono in many ways, almost like a dark version of him. Despite the fact that his techs have different names, the effects are the same, and he seems to have Crono's strongest equipment. Most notable is the resemblance between his weapon and either the Rainbow or the DreamSeeker.
Battle Strategy
The Steel Shade is vulnerable to Shadow magic, so it may be a good idea to have Magus or Robo in the party for this battle. Since the most powerful ability the Steel Shade possesses is his "Scintillation" (ミストレイジング?) attack (an alternate name for Luminaire), bringing equipment resistant to Light element is highly recommended. But don't neglect physical defense either, as his physical attacks, much like the real Crono's, are very powerful as well.
