My first Chrono Trigger run! I've been working on a Dino Grind route, and the route that's effectively done here uses Marle from Heckran through Magus. Lucca is traditionally used in most runs, but using Marle instead gets her enough tech points to learn Arise (Life 2) at roughly the same time Ayla can learn Dino Tail. This allows for a safer and more consistent Inner Lavos fight (without an RNG manip), because Marle can revive Ayla to full HP in one turn and then Ayla is set to tank the second Laser Beam attack. This run had several gigantic mistakes: I walked into Frog after Yakra, I failed the Johnny race, I had to do the long party in 65000000 B.C. because I forgot to switch Marle out of the party. I failed 4-5 fight skips during the run, had an exceptionally bad Magus fight, along with a 3-cycle on Nizbel. I made one extra mistake near the end of the run where I forgot to give Ayla the Speed Capsule that I charmed in the Sunken Desert, which I thought could have killed me on Inner Lavos, but I managed to not wipe on any fights in this run. I'm going to look into refining the route a little bit, just to make sure some mistakes don't happen, and so I have better knowledge on the exp route for Marle. Additional Notes: Lavos Shell and Lavos Core went extremely well, as did the Sunken Desert.
