Full Throttle

---

Overview

Full Throttle is the strongest single target Special Dressphere. It’s able to deal heavy hitting elemental attacks and can gain access to Deeth, which can randomly instantly defeat an enemy. Sword Dance is its only attack that hits everything, so this is the Special Dressphere to use against bosses if you’re having difficulty.

The two wings, Dextral and Sinistral, have different capabilities. The Dextral Wing is able to both deal damage and apply status ailments (unfortunately, most bosses are immune), while the Sinistral Wing supports the party, raising its Strength and Defense, lowering the stats of every enemy, and casting Haste. Both wings can restore HP and MP and revive a KO’d section of Full Throttle, so this form is also the most self sufficient of the three.

The three forms share defensive auto-abilities; however, the HP and damage limit breakers require you to obtain the Corpus Invictus and Victor Primoris items rather than unlocking them through AP alone.

The annoying aspect for all Special Dresspheres are the steps you have to take to activate them and how slowly they gain Ability Points (AP). You'll have to jump through Dresspheres and Garment Grids, and then only Paine’s Special Dressphere will gain AP since Yuna and Rikku will be chased off the battlefield.

How to Obtain It

Full Throttle is the earliest of the three. Tromell hands it to Paine in Macalania Woods in Chapter 1 at the end of the conversation with him:

If you miss it in Chapter 1, you can still get it in Chapter 2 by talking to Tromell at the Spring in Macalania Woods. Full Throttle can’t be obtained after Chapter 2.

Unlockable Abilities

Two of Full Throttle’s abilities need a key item before it can learn them. The Corpus Invictus, which unlocks Break HP Limit, is in the New Cave in the Thunder Plains in Chapter 5. The Victor Primoris, which unlocks Break Dmg. Limit, is in a treasure chest on Mi’ihen Highroad in Chapter 5 that only a Chocobo can reach.

Stats

Full Throttle is Paine’s Special Dressphere, so these are her stats alone. The stats of the Special Dresspheres can vary slightly between playthroughs.
