Rikku’s trio of 9999 overdrive allows you to inflict massive damage, and will be the main strategy for how you deal with boss battles. Please enjoy your no sphere run, it can be very compelling when it gets going.Ģ - Your aeons can be called on as meatshields to block big damage that bosses inflict, saving you from an instant KO. My advice for those new to the challenge is to call on your aeons and Rikku's strong mix overdrives as useful resources if you feel like you need them, until you want to change the challenge to something else.
