Darkmatter
Battle God
I want to discuss with some people here who have played this game as much if not more then I have. I recently started playing it with Diatenshi and well it's been memory-reviving to say the least. Let's discuss about anything Chrono Trigger related; characters, magic, storyline, etc. 
I'll start off, with the magic’s. There’s only a key few that hold great power, as in that do a lot of damage. There's three main ones, that are actual 20 MP spells (ice, fire, lightning, shadow elements) and those are: Flare, Luminare, and DarkMatter. Which one does the most damage? I compared, and on average DarkMatter seems to do the most, but this is because Magus always has the highest MAG level. Crono has a very low level, while Lucca has a fairly high level as well.
Magic damage depends on the users MAG level, and maybe their level overall. Assuming this, Magus would do the most with DarkMatter to a monster with no resistances to anything and no weaknesses to anything. I searched for such a monster but none seemed to get honest damage, as it was varied based on each element. I did, however, tested double star MAG'd Flare, Luminare, and DarkMatter on Lavos. Here’s what I got:
On his second to last Form, and his last form:
DarkMatter: 2200 (2250-2275 respectively)
Luminare: 2950 (2900-2975 respectively)
Flare: 2525 (2500-2575 respectively)
I was very surprised to see that Darkmatter did the least of them, and that Flare got in second! I knew that spell was good.
However, that was with max MAG. The only characters that can come close to getting that on normal means is Magus, excluding Magic Tabs and such. Therefore, in most peoples games, DarkMatter seems to do the most. Luminare can't pass it by normal means (unless you charm aliens for magic tabs 50 or so times to get enough magic tabs to get Crono to ** Magic) as for Flare, I got Luccas Mag to 75 or so (on a non hacked game, from charming a lot of magic tabs and saving the bunch of them for her) and Flare was doing 2200 or so to Lavos, which is pretty nice. Very interesting indeed.
Which spell do I like the most? Flare. I have become a major Lucca Fan, and I actually got to liking the spell. I first got it on Mt. Woe, where I proceeded to fry Giga Gaia with it. Usually that boss gives me trouble but he was easy this time. I love Flare a lot, especially with Gold Studs.
What’s the most underused character for you? Mine, recently, has been Frog. Now usually it was Ayla, I had a great disliking of her until I gave her a chance. My end party consisted of Aya, Lucca, and Robo. Blaze Kick was doing a solid 3500 or so to Lavos, so it was well worth it. She stole tons of good gear for me too, so I basically love her. Aside from being physically rock solid, she has the best Evade and Hit, maybe besides Magus (he has good hit too)
What do you guys think about the spell thing? I should include Shock, but I'll do it later. Anyone surprised?
