Crono vs Terra Branford

[Shade45]

Crono


Too cool for you.

Who wins and why?

 

[FanofRPGs]

Sorry for the bump

Assuming Terra has her best equipment and is mastered in Espers, I think Terra will win with high difficulty.

Terra is slower, much slower. But that is the only thing Crono has over Terra.

Terra has far more hax. She can heavily weaken him with her Graviga spell, petrify him, poison him, drain his health away, and more.

Also the difference in power between the two seems larger than the difference in speed.

Overall I give Terra 6/10

 

[Yojimbo1989]

Very and I mean VERY hard match to decide. I think Crono could possibly win if and only if he can outlast Terra's esper form. But I need to give this some thought.

Another important factor is what equipment does Crono have, since some of his equipment would probably make him immune to Terra's hax?

Moon Armour could act as a counter for all of that though

The Moon armor would lesser her damage, but not nullify it. She is still vastly stronger.

No it does not, it just raises his magic defense

It protects against negative status effects, which would likely make a lot of Terra's hax useless

I remember having this conversation with my buddy Protie (ClassicGameGuys to you fellas) a while back

http://www.narutoforums.com/showthread.php?t=1049971

tl;dr Terra has higher DC and movement speed, so while Crono has higher reactions, Terra can just spam her more powerful/hax spells from a distance. Banish/X-Zone alone should seal a victory

A lot of Terra's attacks, like Gravity or X-Zone, ignore durability. So that is a null point.

 

[Reppuzan]

Her Riot Blades blatantly ignore all defenses, so unless Crono can survive something like that I don't see him taking this. Not to mention the fact that Terra has an extreme range advantage despite Crono's signficant speed advantage (Being twice as fast as her and all)

 

[FanofRPGs]

She has haste which should make her faster also

 

[ImagoDesattrolante]

Likely Terra

Better hax, but is marginally weaker and a bit slower.

But stuff like Slow, Stop should even it out

She is much stronger

She fought Kefka and one of the three of the Warring Triad, that is enough to make her much stronger.

 

[Yojimbo1989]

I should also point out that the Green Dream gives Crono a second chance should he die in battle, so if Crono is hit and killed by one of Terra's hax skills he can be revived and he would learn from his mistakes and see that skill coming.

Also he has a piece of equipment called the Third Eye, which increases evasion of party members. The cause of the Third Eye increasing evasion has been explained as giving the wearer the ability to see into the future, enabling them to predict an enemy's movements, coupled with his speed advantage does give Crono an advantage.

There are counters for the slow, stop hax as well. The Haste Helm keeps him in a constant state of Haste thorughout the battle and any attempts to remove that with slow or stop don't work, if I recall correctly.

With the following equipment: Dreamseeker, Haste Helm, Moon Armour, Green Dream/Third Eye, then he has a chance at winning

Fairly sure Crono scales to Chrono Cross' meteor calc thing which was 325 yottatons

Terra has Rearaise, which is the same ability, if she is losing she uses that and she also gets a second chance, or in this case, a dozen second chances

Reraise only works on other party members iirc. It wouldn't make sense for her to revive herself after being KOd. It wouldn't matter anyway, since she has much better mobility, AOE, and hax. Crono might have the speed advantage along with precog, but Terra has too many options to win the fight in one attack

 

[FanofRPGs]

so far it is 4:1

is there any way Chrono can tank X-Zone or Gragija?

 

[Metabro]

He's got equipment that makes him immune to status effects, but none of the effects of some of Terra's haxier spells

 

[FanofRPGs]

Should this be added to her wins yet?
