Experience & Stat Growth Tables

Every character shares the same leveling curve. The grind to max level is long but straightforward—the real question is which characters you keep active. And whether you care enough about stat caps to push past level 60. Stats also affect damage calculations in significant ways.

How EXP Works

Open a character's status screen and you'll see two values:

  • EXP - Total experience points accumulated
  • Next - Additional XP needed to reach the next level

When you hit the required total, you level up instantly. Stats increase automatically based on the character's growth rates.

Party Distribution

After each battle, XP and TP get distributed differently depending on who fought:

  • Active party (3 characters in battle): 100% of listed XP, 100% of listed TP
  • Inactive party (everyone else): 75% of listed XP, 0 TP

This means benched characters fall behind in two ways. Their levels lag slightly, and they don't learn new Techs since TP drives Tech acquisition. If you swap party members frequently, the gap stays small. If you run the same trio all game, expect a 5-10 level difference by endgame.

Experience Table

Total XP is the cumulative experience needed to reach that level. Next is how much more you need for the following level. Max level is ★★ (99), requiring 1,743,570 total XP.

Leveling Milestones

Some rough benchmarks if you're not grinding:

  • End of 600 A.D. (Magus): ~25-28
  • Ocean Palace: ~35-40
  • Black Omen: ~45-50
  • Lavos (first playthrough): ~50-55
  • Dream Devourer: 60+ recommended

You don't need max level for anything. Lavos falls in the low 50s with decent gear. Dream Devourer? 60+ recommended, but skilled players pull it off lower.

Character Stat Growth

Each character has unique stat growth rates. HP and MP gains follow predictable patterns within level ranges; other stats vary by character. Speed never increases through leveling—use Speed Capsules if you want more. Stats cap at 99 (shown as ★★).

Crono

Speed: 12 — Balanced growth across all stats. His Power and Magic both reach solid levels, making him effective with physical attacks and Lightning techs. He's in your party for most of the game, so his stats matter more than anyone else's.

Robo

Speed: 6 — Tied with Lucca for slowest. But Robo compensates with the highest HP in the game and excellent Power/Stamina growth. He's a physical tank first, though his Shadow techs deal respectable damage. Magic stays low forever.

Ayla

Magus

Speed: 12 — Magus joins at a high level with strong Magic already. His Shadow techs hit hard, and he's the only character with innate access to all elements through Dark Matter. Magic and Magic Defense both grow well; physical stats are decent but not his focus.
