Kimahri Ronso/Gameplay

Final Fantasy X


Being of the Dragoon class, Kimahri uses various spears and lances in battle. For defense, he relies on armlets. Having the central section of the Sphere Grid, Kimahri can move into any other area and grow as the player sees fit. Like Auron, Kimahri has the Piercing ability by default on most of his weapons; however, he has less Strength but higher Agility at the start of the game.

Kimahri is also a Blue Mage, allowing him to use his Lancet ability to learn new Ronso Rage Overdrives and starts off with the classic Jump. Gaining a new ability instantly fills his Overdrive bar. When counterattacking Kimahri swings his spear upward upon the fiend regardless of whether they are on the ground or in the air.

Stats
Kimahri's section of the Sphere Grid reflects his nature as a Blue Mage: in both the standard and expert kinds of the grid, he has average stats with little growths on his section, but can easily enter any other character's section and "learn" their way of fighting, being the easiest character to customize.

Equipment
Kimahri can equip spears and armlets. He is one of two characters (the other being Wakka) to join in Final Fantasy X with no armor equipped. In addition, he and Auron are the only characters to have the Piercing ability on the majority of their weapons from the start. His Celestial Weapon is the Spirit Lance. Fully upgraded, the Spirit Lance has the abilities Break Damage Limit, Triple Overdrive, Double AP, and Evade & Counter. The Spirit Lance does more damage the closer Kimahri is to his max HP.

Abilities
Kimahri's Sphere Grid area runs in the middle of the Sphere Grid, and his Sphere Grid color is blue. The unique abilities that are in Kimahri's default position on the Sphere Grid include the following:
 * Note: Abilities denoted with an asterisk (*) are available in the International, PAL, and HD Remaster version of Final Fantasy X.

Ultima is among a group of Level 4 Locks, making it unattainable at the beginning of the game.

Quotes
Kimahri Ronso does not have specific quotes like the other characters. He rarely speaks during battle (he only says, "Don't move!" and "Stop!" while using Threaten), and even then, he speaks mostly in grunts and growls.
