The mix can sometimes be a great overdrive you know!. for example if you have learned all of the Al Bhed primers you can tal to the Rin agency owner who will give you 99 underdogs secret witch can be mixed with rikku's overdrive make 25.000 damage on each enemy ( the same damage bahmut's overdrive does)

I never really used Rikku, but like Rydia said, her Overdrive did prove useful when you knew what to mix.

I figured Rikku as a the initial chemist. Mixing item to make awesome combination is really helpful.

But you could really have anyone being anything after a while. I know a guy who had Lulu doing 9999 damage with her doll O_o

I thought she was quite useful actually, her over drive is pretty nifty, especially early on - double HP can be a life saver on some of those harder battles

She's also fast and I like to steal from anything and everything so she was fab for me

My Yuna is always the first character to reach 99999 damage, I dont know how that always happens to me but it gets annoying when Auron is only doing 36k or something lol

Well The Only Thing Shes Good For Is Disabling Machina And Stealing And Using Special Items Only Usable By Her(depends if another character learnt use on sphere grid)

Sorry for such a late reply, my university is cranking up the work load and play time has shrunk accordingly. Thanks for your posts, they all came as on topic, insightful and non abusive.



Due to using the ultimate weapons around the time I posted, her mixes are no longer as useful. However, a few of those look fantastic for reviving a nearly dead party and I will remember them for that purpose.



As a few have mentioned, Rikku is very fast and after moving her through Auron's grid and equipping Godhand she is now surpassing 9999 damage. Once finished with Auron's, I'll move her onto Lulu's grid and see how effective she can be as a Black Mage but with terrific speed. I'll post about it after I beat the game this second time. Her combat usefulness is steadily increasing after moving her to other grids.

Personally, I thought she was cool, but not the most useable.
Kinda like Kimahri for me; I liked them, but didn't use them.
Her Overdrive was good, until you start getting Ultimate Weapons and people are doing 9999+ damage per hit (Go my Auron/Tidus; doing 99999 just after Yunalesca) and so her usefulness damage-wise aint so great late-game.
But her revival capabilities were pretty good.

Lets not forget she was able to fight underwater aswel, she did have her uses

My main party was mostly Auron, Yuna & Wakka but she was my next most used character

Later on I guess she does become a little redundant but early in the game I thought she was one of my most useful. Steal/mug is a command I abuse plus she was a goodsend in the calm lands & mt Gagazet

Theres also that underwater fiend in the monster arena, I forget his name Shuyin or something

There's an underwater Fiend in the monster arena? Lol! Also, I'm pretty sure Shuyin is from FFX-2. o_o...Lenne's lover. haha.

Anywho, Rikku can be very useful with her speed and how she can steal items that could be useful for customizing your weapons. =)! She can be pretty handy.

Also, with the underwater battles, you can have her learn black magic (Thudara or Thundaga) and use her that way too.

I didn't use her much but her ability to mix was very unique and she was a really fun character to play with.
