{{nihongo|'''{{PAGENAME}}'''|エックス斬り エックスぎり ''ekkusu giri'' "X-Cut/Slash"}} is a [[Tech]] in {{CT}} usable by [[Crono]] and [[Frog]]. X-Strike becomes available once Crono and Frog learn [[Cyclone]] and [[Slurp Slash]], respectively. Although Frog is not officially recruited until after the [[Masamune]] is reforged by [[Melchior]] and the [[Hero's Badge]] is recovered from [[Tata]], this tech can be learned as early as Crono's first visit to the [[Middle Ages]]. In {{CC}}, a [[Element#Techs|Tech]] performed by [[Serge]] and [[Glenn (Chrono Cross)|Glenn]] exists with the name of [[X-Strike (Chrono Cross)|X-Strike]]. Similar in appearance to its ''Chrono Trigger'' counterpart, it is worth noting that Serge, like Crono, is a silent protagonist and Glenn is very similar to Frog. The two not only share the same name, but the same spelling of that name, which is an atypical spelling for that name. [[Masa & Mune]] perform X-Strike, when the party battles them atop [[Denadoro Mountains]]. | |||
==Description== | |||
Bracing their [[Katana]]s and [[Sword]]s, Frog and Crono dash toward the target. The blows from their weapons cross perpendicularly to form a red X shape on the map. Interestingly, depending on the positioning of the enemy and the positioning of the tech's casters, the X formed varies widely in shape and slope. Occasionally, it will cross perfectly in the center, forming a sideways X, while on other occasions, the X is more lopsided, resembling a T shape more than an X. | |||
==Strategy== | |||
Fighting [[Yakra]] in [[Manolia Cathedral]], Crono, Frog, and [[Lucca]] have few options for performing effective hits on the [[Fiend]]. Lucca's [[Flamethrower]] is all but useless, due to Yakra's high [[Magic Defense]]. Because of this, it is advisable to use X-Strike, while Lucca heals the party using [[Potion]]s and [[Ether]]s. | |||
In addition to the battle against Yakra, when battling [[Flea]] in [[Fiendlord's Keep]], it is also useful to perform X-Strike. Not only are Crono and Frog necessary party members for that boss battle, but the tech proves useful, as Flea also has high resistances to [[Magic]]. Also, when a fresh session of ''Chrono Trigger'' is loaded, if the player watches through the scrolling videos, the battle with Flea in Fiendlord's Keep is shown. The tech Frog and Crono use in that animated video also happens to be X-Strike. Along the same vein, in one of the full-motion video's of the [[PlayStation]] release, Crono and Frog are seen using X-Strike against [[Zombor]] on [[Zenan Bridge]], which is also a battle in which this tech is effective. | |||
