How Do You Use Lulu's Overdrive in Final Fantasy X?

Overdrive attacks in "Final Fantasy X" are special attacks unique to each character, and can only be used once a character’s Overdrive meter is full. Lulu, as the party’s Black Mage, focuses on attack spells to damage enemies. Her Fury Overdrive allows her to cast a spell up to 16 times in one turn. Each cast of a spell does less damage than normal, but is free to cast and ignores all defenses. Lulu can still use Fury when under the effect of Silence, which normally makes spell casting impossible.

Press “Left” on the d-pad during Lulu’s turn. This shows the Fury menu option. Fury will be visible, but unselectable, if Lulu’s Overdrive meter is not full.

Press “X” to select Fury. A list of spells that can be used with Fury is shown.

Press “X” to select a spell. A progress bar and timer is displayed.

Press “X” to select a target to hit with Fury.

Rotate the right analog stick clockwise as quickly as possible to fill the bar. The timer starts to count down once you start rotating the stick, and the bar fills up as you rotate the stick. The amount the bar fills up varies based on Lulu’s Magic stat and the spell being cast. A higher Magic stat causes the bar to fill up more quickly. Using more powerful spells, such as Flare and Ultima, decreases how quickly the bar fills up. Lulu automatically starts casting the spell after the timer runs out. The number of times she casts the spell depends on how much the bar is filled. Completely filling the bar casts the spell 16 times.
