Bat Eye (known as BatEye in the PS version)
is a 4th-level Green Element in Chrono Cross. BatEye, and several other strong elements, Traps, Buffs and Debuffs are purchasable from the Demi-human merchant in Guldove and the Demi-humans on Marbule. Specifically, Bat Eye reduces a single opponent's Hit % rate to its maximum low, regardless of level allocation. Because of this, it is wasteful to set Bat Eye and other Buff/Debuff Elements any higher than the level 1 allocation spot. Although this will depict the Element as being -3, no quality difference is depicted; the character with Bat Eye cast on them will still receive the lowest possible hit rate for several turns.
Description[]
Similar in animation to EagleEye, an iridescent eye shape encompasses the target, with several hexagonal lights of greens and pink stemming from the center or pupil. Twin eyes in a green-color emerge on either side of the enemy, radiating light in a hexagonal pattern.
Name Origin[]
Blind by nature, bats rely on echolocation to see. Because of their innate vision impairment, they would be less apt to strike a target accurately.
