I've recently been playing chrono stone a lot, and after finding some strong combos I thought I'd post a few and see what combos everyone else is using. Keep in mind that, in the game, I have a rule where move manuels may not be used, keshin manuels may not be used outside of using Pegasus over Arch Pegasus on Tenma (because its possible from a plot perspective - considering that he uses it before Arch Pegasus) and keshin tokens can only be used to give a player with a native keshin the ability to go armed

One of my favorite pairings to use is Shindou with Kirino. With the ability to use both Sousha Maestro and Senkishi Brynhildr, as well as gaining access to Deep Jungle as a way to block players and shots. I have Heaven's Time (best match new move) which is... ok its useless as a fully evolved STAB (same type attack boosted) Olympus Harmony is more powerful than an un-evolved, "super effective" Heaven's Time; to be honest, I chose it due to the combination of novelty and the fact that Kirino gives him no other good moves to pass down beyond Deep Jungle, and it came in handy when I was still evolving Olympus harmony - so I'm kinda connected to it due to that. The stat boosts are also huge due to being a best match, making it a great combination despite only getting one useful thing.

Tsurugi Yuuchi mixed with Tsurugi Kyousuke doesn't gain much hissatsu-wise (I'm beginning to see a patern here...), although he can get his hands on a fully evolved Fire Tornado DD, which gives him a good STAB shot (which he otherwise lacks without Pendragon active), and gaining Lancelot is also pretty good as it gives him a keshin armed to use with Fire Tornado DD to greater effect than Pendragon due to Lancelot getting STAB on it. All in all, the combination of the two is powerful, gaining big stat boosts due to being a best match, and the good dual STAB of Fire Tornado DD (Lancelot and without keshin) and Pendragon-boosted Great Blaster is nice.

Having Shuu and Hakuryuu miximaxed either way around is insanely good. Shuu gains access to Warp Step for taking on Fire element defensive hissatsu, such as La Flamme from Kirino and Joan (both great players, even with the latter's lack of keshin), and White Hurricane for taking on powerful keepers reliant on earth element moves, such as adult Endou. Hakuryuu gains access to two of Black Ash, Storm Zone, Vanishing Cut or Shunpatsu Ryoku (I personally use Vanishing Cut and Black Ash). They once again get huge stat boosts.

What miximax combinations do you use? What's your reasoning? Do you pair for stats and moves, or do you pair to make your players look more fabulous than Mega Ampharos? I'm genuinely interested to see how different people play :)
