This article is a list of character techs in Chrono Cross.
Single Techs[edit | edit source]
The element color of single techs is the same as the innate color of the character who uses them. The exceptions to this rule are: Sprigg, whose techs use the innate color of the being she transforms into, and Pip, whose innate color is able to change as he evolves.
