Demigod_Elessar 07/26/22 7:39:48 PM #8:	Where everyone else gets their own dedicated spot of the sphere grid to level through and mostly increase stats recommended for their play style (Tidus as damage dealer, Lulu for black magic, Auron as a "tank"/damage dealer, Yuna for white magic and summoning, etc) Kimahri doesn't. His position on the sphere grid involves you directing him into any of the other character's paths. Because of this, you can essentially make him whatever you want (he's essentially a blue mage). But also, he's not going to be as good as the other party members that already fulfil that role. So in regards to the battle system, he's just kind of there and the odd one out. --- IRON MAIDEN IS MY RELIGION! <cite>Demigod_Elessar posted [p:966858221] in Is there a...

Guns_of_Verdun 07/26/22 7:49:58 PM #17:	Not really. If you use the Expert Sphere Grid he can learn bribe early and you can bribe the Lord Ochu Boss in Kilika for a bunch of Remedies.

geno_16 07/26/22 7:58:14 PM #21:	The only decent use I found for him was taking him down Rikku's path (which is way easier on the Expert grid) and using him for Steal and Use in the early game. Eventually Rikku just completely outclasses him though due to Mix being a much more useful Overdrive and he just sits on the sidelines the rest of the game. <cite>geno_16 posted [p:966858598] in Is there a...

Anony1125 07/26/22 8:06:58 PM #23:	The other characters have their destiny laid out for them. They will always be what they were foreordained to be, bit actors following the same paths in the same doomed pilgrimage. Kimahri is the outcast, a broken-horned Ronso out of place in the group. He's cast aside any place in the world to offer his love and support to a lonely little girl who needed a friend after her hero dad had to leave. What he becomes is up to you. It doesn't come easily to him, in fact he has to work harder than any other character to get there. He doesn't have a neat path to follow, so he makes his own. Becoming whatever he needs to be to help out, and to keep Yuna alive and free to cherish the memories she makes along the way. Kimahri mighty Ronso. --- Feeling really good.

BuffaloRider 07/26/22 8:15:25 PM #28:	Put him down Rikku's path for early Steal/Use and some extra HP. Then go to Yuna's path. I don't remember if he gets to Reflect before Yuna, but Reflect is useful for a certain boss battle and I think he can have it by then. Then finish off Kimahri in Yuna's grid. Yuna's grid has a lot of Magic stats and Kimahri's breath attacks are based on his magic stat. He'll OHKO most random encounters with his Blue Magic if you do this build. I did a Kimahri solo character challenge and it was lots of fun. You get to use lots of blue magic that way with Loner overdrive mode.
