How to Recruit Radius

Learn how to recruit Radius in Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition. Includes his stats, weaknesses, and a strategy to defeat him in battle.

Hey there! So, you're looking to get Radius to join your party in Chrono Cross? Good news, you can't actually miss him! After you get back from the Dimensional Vortex, you'll be headed back to Arni Village in Another World. Just chat with your mom, and Radius will challenge you to a fight. Beat him, and he's yours!

Stats / Weaknesses:

• HP: 750
• Element: Green
• Attack: 44
• Magic Attack: 15
• Defense: 38
• Magic Defense: 15

Strategy:

• Radius has a good chunk of HP, so be prepared for a bit of a battle.
• Most of your current party members will likely be Black-innates, so you won't have a strong elemental advantage. You'll need to rely on your regular attacks and skills.
• Watch out for his Photon Beam attack – it can hit pretty hard! Make sure your characters have decent defense or are healed up before he uses it.
• Focus on whittling down his HP steadily. Don't get discouraged if it takes a while; just keep up the pressure!
