Element Color Tier Explanation

S Tiers
White Possesses spells that can cure your whole party and even remove status ailments. They also have the Saints summon that can launch an offensive while healing your own party. As Chrono Cross characers can output more damage via physicals, effects that will heal your party or buff them are much more valuable and White does this the best.
Blue The element that can use Vigora, one of the most broken element in the game. Vigora will allow the character that the spell was cast on perform any actions and not have their stamina get reduced. This means you can even launch several elements continuously provided you have the element grid levels or unleash a flurry of fierce attacks.
A Tiers
Green Green also possess the ability to keep your party's HP up with heals and heal alls. Aside from these, Green also has the Eagle Eye which is one of the better buffs to use since your attacks won't mean anything if they don't hit. The best part is anyone can equip this element so no need to forcefully put a green character for this buff. The reason that Green is in the A tier is due to them having one of the worst elements in the game which is infoscope. It only displays the enemy's HP for the current battle and does not work on bosses which makes it one element you would not want to have at all.
Yellow Yellow is subpar at a first glance but they do have a focus on physical defense buffs which is great for some bosses.
Black Similarly to Yellow, Black is placed on our A tier despite having one of the most lack luster offensive elements simply due to the fact that they have Diminish and even Seal All which can make magic attacks weaker. Most enemies rely on element to deal damage which salvages the black element to our A tier simply due to having Diminish in their element choices.
B Tiers
Red Red is arguably the worst element in the game. They have a high focus on dealing damage but most damage you will deal later on with a right setup will be from Critical hits and not actual base damage. Their unique buff is also a 99% accuracy buff which is done by Eagle Eye already. Lack of buffs and heals just makes Red the bottom tier of the element choices.
