The Vajra Sword (also known as Alloy Blade in the SNES/PS version) is Crono's eleventh-level weapon in Chrono Trigger. It has an attack power of 110. It can be purchased at Kajar for 21000G and/or charmed from Bomber Bird.
In battle, this weapon's sprite is colored with a murky yellow, with its slashing trails being three sparks colored in the same vein that split off when they emerge during the final frames of Crono's basic attacking animation.
Trivia[]
- The term kongō (金剛, lit. gold strength) is the Japanese word for the vajra or vajura, an Indian ritual weapon associated with Buddhism. Vajra in Sanskrit literally means either diamond or thunderbolt as the weapon is said to represent the destructive power of lightning and the unbreakable quality of diamond, hence the alternative translation of kongō as "adamantine" or "diamond".
- A vajra sword or kongōken consists of a straight double-edged sword blade with a vajra handle. It is commonly depicted as being held by Buddhist deities such as Acala.
