Overdrive: Swordplay
Celestial Weapon: Caladbolg
Author’s Note: Tidus is technically not going to be your strongest character at any point in the game, but even if he isn’t doing the most damage (Auron/Wakka will do more damage in no time) he has huge versatility. He’s also the main character so he will be involved in most of the fights anyway and will level relatively quickly.
Some of Tidus’ abilities are critical to some of the boss battles including Cheer, Haste and Hastega. He also has the ability to use the Flee command so that you can ditch out of unnecessary battles. Finally, Tidus has one of the stronger Overdrives.
