The Waterstrike auto-ability in Final Fantasy X will imbue a weapon with the water element. This means that you will be dealing water damage when using physical attacks. ..
Waterstrike is a special ability that can be found on some weapons that drop during battle. The Brotherhood, the sword given to Tidus by Wakka at the start of the game, will receive an upgrade that includes Waterstrike during the events at Guadosalam. ..
Where To Get Fish Scales
The Fish Scales in FFX can deal water damage to an enemy when used through the “Use” ability. Rikku starts the game with this ability already learned, so you can find it on her starting section of the Sphere Grid.
Fish scales are a valuable item that can be obtained through the Use ability. To obtain them, you must steal them from certain enemies.
- Fish
- Sharks
- Large fish
- Cetaceans (whales, dolphins, porpoises)
- Sea turtles
- Seagrasses
- Coral
- Anemones
- Jellyfish ..
The Mug ability can be used to acquire Fish Scales from these enemies. Both Mug and Steal are also found in Rikku’s section of the Sphere Grid.
Using Waterstrike
The Waterstrike ability is best used by characters like Tidus and Wakka who rely on physical attacks for most of their damage.
Waterstrike is a powerful weapon that can be used to damage enemies that are weak to water, or to absorb water damage. However, it should only be used on enemies that are vulnerable to water damage or have no resistance to it.
You can see an enemy’s elemental affinities by using Scan or by having a party member equipped with Sensor present on the battlefield. If you find yourself facing an enemy that resists or absorbs water, you can swap out gear on a character by pressing Right on your D-Pad when it is their turn and choosing Weapon from the menu.
