X Strike

Targets Enemies
Description Attack enemy w/ X Strike
X Strike is likely to be the first Dual Tech you learn, and it remains useful throughout the game. It simply deals Physical damage, but it costs very little MP and combines the attacks of two of your most powerful Characters. It's not necessarily worth waiting for if Crono and Frog's ATB gauges are out of sync, but it's never a bad use of a turn.
