Hi-Res (HiRes in the PS version) is a 4th-level Yellow Element in Chrono Cross. This element temporarily increases a single ally's Defense, its counterpart is LoRes. Specifically, Hi-Res maximizes a single ally's Defense, regardless of level allocation. Because of this, it is wasteful to set HiRes and other Buff/Debuff Elements any higher than the level 1 allocation spot on an Element Grid. Although this will depict the Element as being -3, no quality difference is noticeable in-game; the character with HiRes cast on them will still receive the same boosts for several turns.

Enemies that commonly use Hi-Res are Beeba, Acacia PVT, Acacia SGT, Dwarves, Googhouls, Rockroaches, Cassowary, Gurgoyle, and Wight Knights

How to Obtain[]

After assisting the sailors on the S.S. Invincible defeat the Ghost Ship, HiRes, and several other strong elements are purchasable from the Demi-human merchant in Guldove and on Marbule. HiRes is valued at 430G in each of these markets.

Drops, Steals, and Chests[]

Commonly, Geos drop it after battles.

It can be Pilfered or Snatched from Googhoul and Cybot on rare occasions.

Description[]

When the player casts this element, an iridescent sphere encompasses the target before shimmering around the target's body.

Name Origin[]

HiRes is a portmanteau of "high" and "resistance".
