Early

"A spirit that flourished in ancient civilizations. Its gears appear to never rust."

Early (クロック, Kurokku / Clock) are Ancient Spirits that can be recruited by paying a certain number of Antiqua Coins. They are known to speak like a stereotypical elderly person. Early can be selected as the player's starter element for Medium difficulty. Latte and a recruitable Pot use this element in battle. Its special power reduces enemies' Agility.

In the overworld, Early Spirits are disguised as gears.
