Grinding: Who do you Grind with? (leveling)

**Cruel Misery** · 04-07-2010, 03:07 AM

So i was just wondering, who do you like to grind with?

I personally go with Rikku, Auron and Lulu.

Rikku: well her stats no look like Tidus's, she has all her theif skills along with some healing magic, she can also act as a support mage with time magic and a few stat raising abilities. Has a pretty good attack and high speed so when needed she can pile on the damage.

Auron: Armour pericer and heavey damage, not as slow as he should be, distill and break abilities help give him the edge in battle. A high HP level lets him tank the damage from the group.

Lulu: Main Black magic caster, has a few minor healing spells just incase Rikku goes down, also a ranged attacker. Major black magic damage and element risistant spells to help defend the group.

I use everyone in every battle. Make it so everyone gets xp from every battle.

You asked who do I grind with, not who I use when I max everyone's sphere grid. In that case I use the best team in the game, the only 3 characters who can swim underwater. Tidus, Rikku and Wakka.

After "finishing the game" I think you mean nearing the end

what's the purpose of "grinding" with only 3 characters unless you are going to only raise the stats of those three? otherwise I'd think you would just rotate everyone in for exp./AP

Maxed out stats/sphere grid is different because then it wouldn't really matter.

when I was just fighting to get extra spheres to replace on the grid it was usually Tidus, Auron and Rikku.

My strategy on Leveling Up the characters was to use the ones with the lowest stats. I made a chart and ranked accordingly. And three with lowest rank would become my party. Then when I unlocked a Sphere on the Sphere Grid I would just change the stat on the chart, and if the final rankings changed, then so do my party.

For boss battles, though, I used every member. That way each member would benefit. Right now on my playthrough, I have Tidus, Yuna, and Lulu.

What I did to make sure everyone was getting EXP even when grinding was put in the party I didn't use (Auron, Kimarhi, Rikku & eventually Lulu) to begin the battle and then switch them out to my normal party which was Tidus, Yuna, and Wakka. But Wakka and Auron were interchangeable in my group so those two switched a lot. That way everyone get points for each battle. I grinded away in that cavern...was it Zeritan Caves? Where Omega Weapon is

Auron (is awesome), Tidus (only because he has a SOS Overdrive sword), and, Waka (for thoughs imposible to hit fiends).

P.S.: I just got an awesome Fatal Cait Sith 4 Lulu.

**NeoAquarius12** · 07-20-2010, 08:02 PM

When I need to catch a character up, I just make sure Auron is in the party. Like, getting Rikku to the power of everyone else-ish. After that, I just use them ALL in tuen, although I use Tidus more often because he's the main character.

I used all of them against Omega, why not. haha

**Rocky** · 07-20-2010, 08:27 PM

I like to grind with Yuna, Rikku and Lulu, and then I put myself in the middle of the sexy dancefest.

But yeah I normally just switch everyone out and get ap that way. Even when the spheregrid is maxed, I still have a habit of doing that lol.

I try to grind everyone equally, and I manage to a certain extent, then it just seems to end up being Auron, Yuna and Wakka when I start deleting/re-adding nodes an' shit, the others end up losing stats as I start neglecting to fill theirs back up. Poor Lulu on my first main file.. all because I couldn't get Onion Knight for AGES

**Zidane77** · 07-27-2010, 08:48 PM

I usually grind with Auron,Kimahri and Tidus but now my favorite is Rikku,Auron and Kimahri.
My strongest party is though Kimahri,Auron and Yuna.

**BellaTheDead** · 07-30-2010, 10:48 PM

Lulu Auron and Tidus Normally. I never really switched party members unless I had to or one was dead. I eventually ended up picking those three as my favorite characters and always us then if available

**scorptatious** · 08-28-2010, 09:42 PM

For almost the entire game I used everyone for grinding. But as I as I got close to the end of the game, I found myself mostly using Tidus, Auron, and Lulu. As they become very big damage dealers by that point. Although I also liked using Yuna and her aeons as well.

**markandrewkinzett** · 12-16-2010, 04:30 AM

I can use any charcter I want cuz they are all on the same stas (except for minor diffferences in the luck stat) however out of choice I like Tidus, Auron and Wakka cuz they just look awesome whn they are kicking the shit out of their opponents!!! The Attack Reels attack is also seriously cool!!!
