Strategy:
Heckran might look tough with its high HP, but you can take it down pretty quickly if you play it smart. Remember, just like other enemies in this cave, Heckran is only vulnerable to magic. So, have Crono, Lucca, and Marle blast away with their elemental spells. Your best bet for dealing big damage is to have Marle and Lucca team up for their Dual Tech, Antipode Bomb.
Warning: There's a crucial moment in this fight you absolutely need to watch out for. At some point, Heckran will curl up into a ball and try to taunt you into attacking. DO NOT ATTACK IT when it does this! If you do, your whole party will get slammed with a super powerful water wave attack. If you need to heal up or just want to play it safe, this is the perfect time to do it. Once Heckran uncurls, get right back to blasting it with magic until it's defeated.
