Psychic

---

Overview

The Psychic earns its high ranking for its defensive abilities rather than because of its ability to output damage. It only has three real attacks: Psychic Bomb, which hits every enemy and ignores both Protect and the target’s Defense, Maser Eye, a single-target attack, and Brainstorm, which inflicts Confusion and Silence on every enemy. They are decent, but a Dark Knight or a Samurai will out-damage them without trying.

What truly sets a Psychic apart is its defensive capabilities. It has Magic Guard and Physics Guard, which make the character immune to magic or to physical attacks for a time, and Excellence, which makes them immune to both, which is as close to invincibility as you can get in Final Fantasy X-2.

Additionally, the Psychic learns the four elemental “Eater” auto-abilities: Fire Eater, Ice Eater, Lightning Eater, and Water Eater. These abilities turn any damage of that element into healing, and Gravity Eater does the same for gravity-based attacks once the other four have been learned. It also has stat growth that favors HP, MP, Strength, Magic, Magic Defense, and Agility, while its Defense, Evasion, and Luck are not great. You may have to augment them with accessories to offset their defense when their defensive abilities are not active.

This Dressphere can be obtained as early as Chapter 1 and it’s strong from the moment you have access to it. It doesn’t deal the most damage, but you can outlast most enemies anyway.

How to Obtain It

The Psychic is available in the HD Remaster and International versions only. Speak to Shinra on the Celsius and win the “Standard Cup” tournament in the Fiend Arena of the Creature Creator. You can get it as early as Chapter 1, but it’s recommended that you wait until your characters are a bit higher leveled and aim to complete the Standard Cup in Chapter 2.
