In Chrono Cross, every playable character has unique special abilities called Techs (or "Tech Attacks"). The term is taken from the game's predecessor, Chrono Trigger, and each character ultimately gains access to three in total. We say "ultimately" because they'll start with at least one – in some cases, as many as two – but the third will either require reaching a certain Star Level or accomplishing some specified task to unlock.

When it comes to core gameplay mechanics, Chrono Cross is not the easiest JRPG to decipher. It's filled with somewhat obtuse differentiations, including how its cast acquires their Level 7 Techs. With 45 available characters to choose from, completionists will have their work cut out for them trying to obtain every Level 7 Tech, so let's make things simple with an all-inclusive guide.
Star Levels correspond to the number of Stars you've received in full. You'll earn a Star at the end of every climactic encounter, beginning with Mama Komodo at Lizard Rock (Home World) and ending... well, much, much later on.
