Laser Spin is the third Tech learned by Robo in Chrono Trigger. Deals Shadow damage to all enemies. The most significant application of this is during the fight against Magus.
Laser Spin is one of the Single Techs with the most combined Techs, the others are Fire II from Lucca, and Ice II from Marle.
Animation
Robo raises his arms and begins to spin, shooting lasers across the screen as he spins.
Enemy Tech
All Enemies who use a version of Laser Spin use it in the exact same way as Robo. Lasers project from the enemy's chest and spin around to singe all opponents. Unlike Robo's tech, not all enemy Laser Spins are Shadow spells, as is the case with Mother Brain.
Since Robo is the primary caster of Laser Spin, and he is a robot of Geno Dome, naturally the R-Series Robots and Atropos XR, also children of the very same factory, are programmed with this ability. Golem, however, was not created in Geno Dome, but Golem is a mechanical creation, so this may explain why it is able to cast Laser Spin.
Trivia
- Robo is the only character capable of inflicting full damage on Magus when his barrier blocks all elements but Shadow.
- Even though Robo can't use Magic, this tech allows him to inflict Shadow damage on enemies.
