Crono is your primary Character, and will be in the party at all times for most of the game. Towards the end, Crono will leave the party, and even once he rejoins, he no longer has to be taken along. However, every Triple Tech in the game (save the five that require special Accessories to use) requires Crono, and in fact every party combination that includes Crono and not Magus has its own Triple Tech.

In battle, Crono is a powerful warrior and your only dedicated Lightning-elemental Character. His Techs and Double Techs are powerful, and he can deal plenty of damage both Physically and magically.
