No, you need piercing for that, and none of them have it. Armor Break is always an option, though.
Or Banishing Blade when Armor Break refuses to stick

Whoa Banishing Blade always applies a breaks unless immune? Awesome.
Yeah, it was one of the strategies to take down Juggernaut at the start of the STR grind where you don't have enough stats to hit the mob for 99,999 through his defenses. You Banishing Blade then Attack Reels/Slice&Dice him. With Victor overdrive and a couple of wolf mobs in between repetitions (which is a very good technique past this stage of grinding) it makes the initial slog go by a lot quicker.
edit: Or just use Frag Grenade if you're lazy.

If you want the best item you just need to get 8 of the 10 named Cactuar spheres. (Friend Sphere)
This means two Cactuars you can screw up on.
However just getting 6 to 7 of them gives you a Megalixir in my option is just a more practical item.
Vachella and the last one are always the hardest, so getting all 10 won't give you any extra special rewards, unless you just want to get all 10 named spheres for bragging rights.
Oh, yeah. I know - I just don't remember that one being so ridiculous.
Brother's class being "Dancer" is pretty fitting, really.
Question guys...I'm getting loaded up with Magic Def spheres thanks to farming One-Eye (still short of Yuna's, Rikku's and Khimahri's weapons...)
Should I just chuck them into empty nodes for the sake of filling out the grid, or what other stat spheres do they have out there that are recommended to get? I know the Luck sphere...but any other that I should aim for?
Should I leave the empty nodes empty before I get those spheres or?

People called Romanes they go the house?
Ugh. I know Wakka's Attack reels is the best attack in the game bar Anima Overdrive for damage, but grinding out these matches for the sigil is a pain in the ass.
Kudos to whomever mentioned the Wedge/Brother/Ropp/Zamitz/Jumas list, tho, it's worked out really well. Wedge becomes a beast of a forward, way better than Tidus save for Jecht Shot.

Well, I'm finally done with FFX. Beat all the arena creations, Dark Aeons, and Penance. I used Yojimbo to cheese a couple of Aeons and Penance, but I was so sick and tired of messing with the sphere grid.
Now on to FFX-2... although I make take a break from that universe for a bit so I'm not totally burnt out. I really liked X-2 my first time through - I was surprised at how dark some elements of the story were, and pleasantly surprised at how fun the job and battle systems were. I've tried to replay it about three times since then, and unfortunately, each time I get it into my head that I should go for 100%... which means that I quit around the end of chapter 1. It's time to try and actually enjoy the game again.

Ah, don't do it too quickly? Holding off on digging till Chapter 5 will make certain things easier.
Wouldn't it be 24? Two leagues?
I did two leagues because I wanted to get the Jupiter Sigil
I reset. Wonder why we took the same amount of time. Maybe I took up a lot of turns that didn't use time?
Just take the path it leads you down. You'll be fine
You don't need two leagues to get the Blitzball Master trophy, I just looked at the first picture lol.
One Blitzball match is only 5 minutes (the clock runs at double speed), plus turns, etc. If you start the match by scoring and then sit behind the goalie you can get it down in 3~ hours.

Just send her. The items you get from her aren't really worth it.
Yeah, and I just don't have the items needed to get the third thing on the weapons or else I would.
And I'm still not strong enough to kill Kottos either
Did you capture 10 of each fiend? You should have more than enough items I believe.
Edit: Yeah, my suggestion is to catch all fiends and get Celestials for the 3 characters you'll be using. This should make you strong enough to be able to take on One Eye. Free Triple Ap weapons for everyone.

I finally just got Jupiter Sigil+Auroch Reels. Thus I am officially done with Blitzball (wasn't that bad really) and got every celestial weapon upgraded. Next step would be getting started on some AP farming on Don Tonberry I guess.

So is the concensus that break HP limit ain't worth it? I rarely see anyone mention that for late game armor.
It's not worth the time investment, no. Still really kickass to have 99,999HP if you're willing to put in the time though lol.
Auto-Haste
Auto-Protect
Auto-Phoenix
Auto-Potion or Ribbon
Dark Yojimbo has 210 defence. Although at max strength Wakka should be doing more than 12k (unless my calculations are wrong, my Wakka hasn't been trained much).
Each hit from attack reels has a base strength of 10. Max strength +luck Tidus does about 40k on Dark Yojimbo with Slice and Dice, which has a base strength of 6 per hit. Although I'm unsure as to whether attack reels can get critical hits.

At 255 STR. Attack Reels should do about 36k to 40k a hit against Dark Yojimbo.
If Attack Reels doesn't ever do 99k against an enemy, it's because they have extremely high DEF or permanent auto-protect in effect with stacked Armor.
Things like Auron's Banishing Blade mitigates most of this.
You can also have 3 characters with full Overdrives in reserve, and use Entrust to transfer OD gauge to Wakka so he can re-use attack reels. Also using Victory Overdrive Mode means he should get 50% of his guage back after a fight allowing another character with 50% gauge to entrust again to re-use the Attack Reels every battle against Yojimbo.
This is how I killed him at least.
With liberal spamming of Cheer and Luck to reduce the damage of Wakazashi and increase the odds of landing a hit on him.
I generally wouldn't recommend fighting Yojimbo unless you have 255 Acc or high luck. He dodges almost everything.
A propos Luck: how much does it increase your Luck?
I'll begin the power-up shortly.
What is recommended for maxing your stats/armor:
- To be able to kill Drak Aeons/Penence/Nemesis
- The most effective way?
I remember giving up farming Luck on my PS2 run, far too much time consuming.

Just to back this up. You really need Wakka's attack reels or high luck. I have 255 acc and I can't land a single hit on him. Attack Reels and/or high luck is the way to go
With Comrade/Stoic, Entrust you will never run out of Attack Reels. You just need to get to the point where none of Yojimbo's attacks will 1-shot any character, and as long as you remember to dispel Armor Break from his shuriken attack you will be fine.
Def+20%/Auto Protect/9999 HP does it as far as surviving his attacks go. You have to manually cast Hastega/Haste for this battle assuming your armor is Def+20%/Auto-Protect/Stoneward/Auto-Potion but other than that Yojimbo doesn't pose a threat at all. If you keep passing turns other than to remove debuffs, entrust and re-haste, Attack Reels should finish him off before he gets close to his overdrive every time.

BHPL + Auto-Regen is really really good.
The problem is farming up all the HP spheres is so boring, and the alternatives don't need to farm HP spheres at all, since you can get 9999 so easily just from what's already out there.
Should have stolen some from

Farming One-Eye is easy and quite fast after all but damn he likes to drop mage armour all day long :lol. The only bright side is that they sell for 1000+ more than it costs to fight him. Only got a weapon for Rikku with 2 empthy slots and TAP so I guess that's a start.
Well at least he drops dark matter so if it takes too long I can always make my own Ribbon accessories :lol.

Yeah and when you fight monsters that hit hard. This armor works better , especially against P...Auto-Potion, Auto-haste, Auto-protect, Defense+20%. And if you want to take it a step further, mix Rikku's ultra null all with that. You'll only be taking about 5K damage. But it really doesn't matter how much damage you're taking because they'll automatically throw x potions everytime they get hit.

So far I'm really enjoying this. Hits me right in the nostalgia soft spot. I'm not hating the new soundtrack as much as I thought. I think it was just the battle theme, and the boss theme so far that I hate..

I'm nearing the point where I'll get full control of the airship and can do some ultimate weapons... But... I'm not sure if I want to even bother. I have a lot of games in my backlog, and getting the ultimate weapons is such an annoying time sink. I'll have Tidus' ultimate weapon as soon as I beat Y since I already have the Sun Sigil. The main ones I dread are Auron (capturing enemies, yawn), Lulu (fuckin' lightning...), and Wakka (hate blitzball). Even though I'm glad to finally have all the optional content of the International edition (like bosses and such), I might just skip them and beat the game, then move on. I just don't know if I have it in me to do all that grinding.
So don't do it. If you're not feeling it going in, how do you think you'll feel halfway through? Then if you quit, you'll have wasted your time, or if you don't quit, you'll be wasting more of your time completing it.

Yeah, I guess you're right. I love the base game of FFX, but I've never liked the "end game" of it. I'll probably just beat it and move on to another game (before coming back to FFX-2). I might return to FFX down the road and work on the optional content.
