As expected, this is the hardest battle so far. There are six opponents and they hit hard compared to your max HP. Crono can only survive two of the nasty punch attack.

In the beginning of the battle, three of them will use the punch attack. I don't know why, but every time I had Crono Cyclone the three on the left side, the first three punches would be used on Crono. When I Cycloned the three on the right side, they attacked Crono twice and Marle once. That's why I start on the right side.

Then I get a couple of turns before they all attack. A combination of the lowest battle speed, Wait mode and saved battle cursor allowed Marle to get an extra turn before they started attacking again, so that she could heal up. This extra turn is very important, as she's much more likely to survive with full health.

If someone should get killed here, it's not the end of the world, as you'll enough time to revive and recover. It'll only make the battle last longer. If you do survive, the battle is pretty much won, as the robots will start falling when you start attacking again.

The reason why I didn't kill the three on the right side first is because they start using a counter attack when one or more of the robots have already been killed. This counter attack hits both characters for 20+ damage and that's obviously bad.

I thought this battle would be more luck reliant, but it's hardly luck reliant at all with the right strategy. Marle had the lowest level of the girls, which is why I used her.

Crono: Level 1
Marle: Level 3
