About this converter
Crono katana ladder runs 1 to 240 across one clean stat. Mop at 1, Wooden Sword at 3, Bronze Blade at 7, Steel Saber at 15, Silver Sword at 20, Thunder Blade at 25, Crimson Blade at 30, Mammoth Tusk at 40, Slasher at 43, Primeval Blade at 70, Zanmato at 90, Empyrean Blade at 125, Swallow at 145, Rainbow at 220 and Dreamseeker at 240. That makes Dreamseeker two hundred forty Mops. Older guides rename several blades, for example Silver as Lode and Crimson as Red Katana, and the notes carry both names. Every figure here is the base attack stat from the Chrono Wiki weapon tables.
How to use it
Pick two katanas and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try 1 Dreamseeker against Mops to see the two hundred forty to one climb.
DS version names are rowed while SNES names sit in notes, for example Mammoth Tusk against Flint Edge. Special effects like Zanmato 1.5 times against magic foes and Rainbow 70 percent crit do not change the attack stat and stay in notes. Frog swords, Lucca guns and Marle bows run their own ladders and stay out of this Crono table.
