Coach and captain of the local blitzball team, the Besaid Aurochs. Wakka plans to retire from the sport after this year's tournament, so that he can devote himself fully to serving as Yuna's guardian. His deadly blitzball is especially useful for knocking down aerial enemies.

To simply put, Wakka is pretty weak. His only and I repeat only usefullness comes from attack aerial fiends. He has skills that causes status ailments on all creatures which can help out at the beginning of the battle before switching to the more balance and powerful fighters like Tidus and Auron.

Wakka starts off with Element Reels and acquire his other Overdrives by winning blitzball games in both League and Tournaments. Whenever you use Wakka's Element Reels Overdrive, slot wheels start spinning. If you match all three wheels, then Wakka performs a single-elemental attack against all enemies. If you match up two wheels, then he performs a double-elemental attack against a single, randomly-chosen enemy. If no wheels match up, Wakka performs a physical attack against one randomly-chosen enemy. A similar concept is employed in his other Overdrives.
