The Purpose of Rikku? - Page 5

Stealing was very important at the beginning of the game. I had her in my team almost all the time. Without her I wouldn't have gotten all the good items: especially
from bosses.

no rikku was great and is a useful character for me. she can steal and use items to deal sometimes big damage and defence (mix is good), also the al behd potions came really handy for me especailly in my battle with evrae. also she i good for taking out machines very quickly, for example on the calm lands you have the machine fiends if you use rikku and her steal straight away the thing just falls apart and you get like 3 grenades.
i also think i went a bit wrong on the sphere grid as rikku somehow has taken over on yunas path and has curaga and regen when yuna is nowhere near there yet, so she also comes in use with that too for me.

Rikku is mainly a healer and gadgeteer

her speed allows her to heal and damage fast, by the use of items
her ability that allows to use combat only items, like al bhed potion makes her amazing in this

her mix ability has amazing effects that will save you a lot of buffing time(for example she can buff your party with haste, protect, shell, reflect, null all and regen in one single turn)

During my first playthrough Rikku was one of my best characters( I put her through Yuna and Lulu's grids so she was a good mage.) In my next, she was mediocre. But she always was always useful as a healer (via Al Bhed potions) during the periods when Yuna was gone. Even when Yuna was around I used her often because Yuna can't heal the whole party at once unless I had a mega potion. For me, though, she found her ultimate use during the battle with Yu Yevon when I randomly decided to start using the leftover items in her inventory because I wouldn't need them later

. So I used a Candle of Life or something like that and found that even though all other bosses are immune to it, Yu Yevon is suseptible to Doom! Now that battle is super quick!
I don't know if that's really a spoiler but since I mentioned the end boss I decided to cover it just in case.

I use Rikku pretty often. I've been using Al Bhed potions, and I'm almost out. :\
Fire gems, ice gems etc are pretty useful I think, so I use them, when I have them.

I've never used her much I only used here when I played with the boss in the water (when they catch you and throw you in jail) but I used Pheonix Down on the monster so he died pretty easy and I didn't use Rikku much after that

Since I'm playing a No Sphere Grid game, Rikku is absolutely essential, since she's the fastest team member and has access to Steal and Use, and her Mix combinations are the only way to get through the game at certain points.

She is the ray that sheds some light on the mysterious shade

Seriously she is, Rikku to Tidus:"you know what happens to summoners right?"

Plus when you're fighting machina she comes in reaaaaaal handy
