Final Fantasy X: Wakka's Celestial Weapon Guide (World Champion) 

IMPORTANT INFO: The Playstation version of the HD Remaster refers to the items by their North American names: Jupiter Crest and Jupiter Sigil. The Xbox version uses the International names: Mercury Crest and Mercury Sigil. If you'd prefer not to reset your data but still minimize games, you can save immediately after finishing a League but before starting a new one. The League prizes will change in the same way when you open the Blitzball menu again each time you reload this save file. (thanks to Jeremy Brandt!) At 8:05 I say that you can fully upgrade the World Champion before you reach Mt. Gagazet. This is incorrect because you aren't able to re-enter Guadosalam after Macalania Temple until you have the airship. This roadblock prevents you from returning to Luca as soon as you have the Celestial Mirror. -Bowen

I remember being 8 or 10 playing this for the first time. I spent SOOOO much time taking on the Goers too win all because I thought it was required to get Wakka’s ultimate weapon.

Before this video, I was scared of the amount of Blitzball required for this weapon. But I managed to get used to the tatics (Brother and Tidus are beasts). Thank you.

brother is the real MVP in blitz along with titas.

I’m playing FFX HD now so I can get the platinum on the PS5, and while I love the story and combat, the grind for platinum can be miserable. The celestial weapons are a prime example of this. I’ll eventually have to get Wakka’s celestial weapon so thank you for the video

I felt like I was playing blitzball on hard mode using the aurochs especially when trying to win the 1st championship. This helps haha basically just get rid of the aurochs lol

i don't recommend resetting, i would save the game before viewing the rewards for the first time. If you do this and your desired reward isn't there just reload and you'll have a new set of rewards

8:04 correction (big error): Cloudy mirror is in Calm Lands. Celestial mirror is in Macalania Woods. After Macalania Lake (crawler boss fight), you are labeled a traitor. Travel back is only by airship, because Gaudosalam is blocked. (South of Thunder Plains) World champion is in Luca.

mannnn, the trick for aurochs reels saved my life. Thank you

Also don't reset data after getting your team coz then you'll have the standard besaid aurochs team. Also don't accidentally go into a match because there's no getting out til it's over.

Thanks for the tutorial. If it wasn't for this video I wouldn't have had a clue or even have done any good at blitz ball. Thank you for another top tutorial!

I have finally got this all completed and here is my experience using this strategy. Honestly all the picks are great and you won't be able to do much better. Definitely get brother if you want to sail through these games with relative ease. He proved time and time again that he was the real mvp. He was my highest level character and even though he didn't score as much as tidus or wedge he set up a lot of the goals they both made. Use brothers speed to your advantage. The only team you can't really out speed is the guado glories. This means for everyone else as long as brother has the ball you can just swim close to the enemy team, get them to chase, and then pass when you get enough distance to not get challenged. Brothers stats are good but he can't take a lot of heavy hits so remember sometimes it's better to maybe only take 1 hit if you think you can reasonably keep the ball and just pass anyway if more people are blocking. It's not a guarantee that a blocker will touch the ball anyway and thus may not interfere. Wedge is a great shooter I had to get the hang of him first but what worked for me was his attack stat got pretty high and he has decent endurance so he would regularly steal the ball from mid field right away. Now the important thing to remember with Wedge is his mid range shots are decent and better than trying to get too close and have multiple people challenging you. So the game would start, I would steal with Wedge and then I would swim just a little bit forward and when I noticed the enemy team converging on him as he got closer I would shoot. The middle fielder will likely challenge you but as I said his endurance is good and he can take 1 good hit, but the left and right defense is a gamble if they have tackle techs. After breaking through the mid fielder shoot with wither shot and even if you don't score you stand to halve the goalies catch rating which means you can score from even further range or a close shot will be a sure shot. Tidus feels lacking to me but the jecht shot does open up good passing opportunities if tidus is by the goal but there are still defenders nearby. He definitely needs some levels to make him more consistent but once you get a 2nd tech slot for him sphere shot is a great alternative if he isn't challenged, less hp cost and possibly higher sht rating than is possible with jecht shot. Other than that the rest of the team handles themselves well and no special note is really needed. The goalie suggested is good and when he gets a tech slot he gets super goalie which is one of the better techs imo. As a final note just keep in mind that it's impossible to go back after making certain choices and the last thing you want to do is lock yourself into certain positions that you can't get out of. Have an idea of what you want to do and err on the side of caution, maybe you can take a 1 person challenge with tidus maybe you can't, but jecht shot is sure to at least clear the way. I would even use it early on when he wasn't challenged to guarantee he scores and gets more exp so I advise to use it often until he runs out of steam and then switch to Wedge or brother to make goals. good luck

When I was I believe a sophomore in hs. I did nothing but devote most of my time to collecting the celestial weapons. There are only two I could not finish, Lulu and of course Wakka. But I did manage to understand the game of blitzball very well to the point where I was winning a lot of games. And call me crazy but playing blitzball games sounded better than doing Lulu's 200 lightning Dodges to me. 😅 ( I keep fucking up on dodging at the time. You needed to press X right when the flash happened. Also I was at the tower running back and forth to the crater. ) It got exhausting... This was 21 years ago. PS2 memories

4:24 Tidus, Wedge, Letty, Zalitz (has low pass, endurance, 59 speed baseline), Ropp (best defender, Navara is close 2nd at lvl 35+), Jumal (best goalie at low lvl) In Luca (best starters in beginning) who can get reels (attack, status, auroch) & Jupiter sigil before leaving Luca/Mi'ihen Highroad area (if you grind sphere lvls early). Best team at lvl 99: Tidus, Larbeight, Linna, Ropp, Navara, Nimrook with (Nizarut/Wedge) --> 2nd/3rd best goalies Durren (missable) on the bench. Masters of speed: Brother/Nedus (lvl 70 - 99), Datto, Navara --> group up the opposition and pass to forwards/easy score. Best shooters: Tidus (special shot ignores 3x defender), Larbeight (1st), Vilucha (2nd best), Linna (3rd best, 59 speed/low endurance, but high atk/blk/best pass), Wakka (+ Datto/Keepa as defender & not goalie) --> 80+62+99 shoot at lvl 99 can shoot from anywhere and score, Keppa (solo, slowest non-Ronso, 99 shoot) Focus on getting key techniques in order (asap) and you will win. Pass to your team only in beginning to get skill slot advantage, prevent opponents from lvling, and lvl up your team's stats. Sign target players when available and prevent other teams from using "them" against you. Defensive skills are good but winners shoot (bait defenders away and pass to forwards to shoot on sleeping goalie/weakly defended goal). Lower stats with wither, remove players with nap, defend with (anti- (nap/wither/venom), elite defense/brawler, grip gloves/super goalie, tackle slip), use golden arm (increase ball movement), and use tech find to help get skills faster.

your the best guide for FFX. i've used all your videos. i'm currently close to getting wakkas, just need lulus 😢. then kim, but i don't think i'll get his since i do not use him

Thank you for explaining that you can get it before mount gagazet, a lot of threads online say there are none you can get before the airship and I was sure you could get this one

Never liked playing blitzball. That's why I costumized my own weapon for Wakka.

Thank you, this guide was really helpful!

I was so bad at blitzball 0-3 almost every game but his line up I’m not kidding makes blitzing so much easier, wedge is a savage a scoring with his high shot number. Use break and wither shot. I personally didn’t even use jecht shot. Use his line up and score with wedge or brother.

I hate playing bliztball but when you understand the basic and able to start recruit people to your team the game is on Its super addictive, i played bliztball more than ffx itself

This is arguably the most fun celestial weapon to get

Tidus, Bickson, Ropp, Brother, and Verujo. After a certain point it became hard to not win with this team

As of 2022 right now on my Xbox one X this glitch in blitz ball works still!

So incredibly helpful thanks

Brother is a beast

At the beginning the Aurochs were the worst team in Spira, they were the Houston Texans of blitzball. But if your hire Wakka and keep your original team they turn out pretty good.

World champion is my most favorite celestial weapon. Especially since I love playing Blitzball. I always run a good team as soon as Blitzball becomes available and obtain all the reels. I keep Tidus, Datto, and Letty. Then replace Datto with Wedge and then I replace Botta/Jassu/Keepa Ropp/Shuu/Miyu when I can. Then I build the same team except replacing Letty with Brother and reset data/play Blitzball until I get Wakkas sigil.

I don’t understand the struggle on blitzball I lost the first game agains the Luca goers then I have never lost after that I’m not sure what I’m doing different but I think it helps that I have probably one of the best possible teams you can get and also jecht shot is absolutely necessary imo and make sure to use it as much as possible and I usually win atleast 3-0 every game. I believe to get the team I got if I remember right because it was a long time ago I think I ran around Luca where the docks are and looked through all the teams trying to sign anyone and I now have 29 wins without losing since the first match. Hope this helps someone at some point 👍

I dont know if this works on all versions but hd on switch u can save right after the 10th and the League end before u ever look at the prize and the League battle prize will reset instead of resetting everything if ur like me and put alot of time training ur team and hates starting over lol

The only enjoyment i got out of doing this was going around recollecting the players. Only because i imagine them them saying "you son of a bitch, im in" Good guide thanks

best guide EVERRRR ❤❤❤❤

Fun playing blitz, but long and grinding! Thanks yo!

Wow it took me four hours to beat the league, won every game but... are you sure everyone loves this game? So boring, 8 -10 hours for 1 celestial weapon. Granted it's the best one.

5:05 actually sphere shot is best against an undefended "NIMROOK" on the Al Bhed Psyches (1 on 1) early lvls. A lvled Nimrook will catch your Jecht shot (super goalie/grip gloves skills exist). Tidus/Nimrook (at lvl 10+) use Jecht shot for better odds or nap/wither shot him first. All teams are trash: except Psyches(best)/Glories(spd/pass)/Beast(balanced)/Fangs(slow)/Goers (best to worst)

Do you need to do it in order like this: -Get one overdrive -Fight 250 times -Get another overdrive -Fight 450 times -Get the final overdrive -Fight more -Get the sigil Or can you just wait until endgame when you have 1000+ battles and they'll all appear one after the other if you reset?

I managed to win all the reels with Wedge, Tidus, Brother, Ropp, Kyou and Jumal as my team. The Al bhed psychs were hard though, I faced them in both tournaments and again in the league, but in the league they were my 8th match so my players had levelled up a fair bit and I was able to score barely 1 with pure luck of sphere shot. Just have the sigil now, it's just so damn long, I wish I could avoid psychs in the league altogether

My mercury Sigil vanished from my inventory after opening the Luca locker twice. The crests and sigils were in different places and for different character. Can’t unlock Wakka’s weapon due to no longer having the mercury sigil. Gutted.

I'm undefeated in blitzball

Is anyone wondering how did they score against Nimrook with all base stats?

great video man appreciate the help when I was a kid I did it the legit way but 7 year old me thought blitzball was fun, 20 year old me says I don't have the time to play possibly hundreds of hours of this shitty minigame

So instead of reset data on blitz, just restart your system until you get the desired prize

I got “mercury crest” from the locker room in Luca, isn’t it for rikku? I’m so confused, I’m playing it on switch it matters

Don't mind playing blitzball, you just have to play so many games

I've given up on getting the outer 3 overdrive moves for wagga years ago Yes, I don't have the patience to play the blitzball minigame anyway

So you need status reels THEN battle 450 times before you have the chance to win the sigil? Is that right?

What is overworld and how can I tell if I've done 250 battles cause I keep resetting andstatus reels isn't showing up btw I'm the endgame

8:14 how ? How before Mount Gagazet. I just got the mirror in the calms. How do i get back to luca before gagazet? The bartender needs to see the mirror to obtain the physical weapon, right ?

This was helpful for a replay but don't reset your data. Just restart the game and it changes if your gifts

So is it the total amount of fights youve done in game so far or do you have to do 250 then get status then 450 for aurochs?

Spending several hours on blitz ball just to achieve three items for endgame is crazy. I have no problem with tournaments but league should’ve been at least five games.

Hi, there’s a way to know how many battles i did? Im afraid to keep resetting but not appear because I don’t have enough battle

I just played another league after getting Aurochs reels and another to have the Sigil appear cause ain’t no way I was going to reset data when I worked to hard/grind but thanks

I lost Jecht shot and sphere shot wen I reset the data how have you still got it in the video?

I love blitzball and if you love blitzball as well, wakkas Celestial is a piece of cake 😂

Bruh I use to brag to my boy about Wedge being so cold lbs

Best MF by far, Nav Guado

tidus dont have jet shot when you reset ? how would i use jet shot on the league?

So if I reset the data all your player I hire will also be gone? I have to hire them again?

I hate blitz ball bro

Brother is brutal, he can 1v6 😂

I cant get the weapon, do i have to do multiple matches?

Blitz all might have been tolerable if you could actually swim, or you know, play a full contact sport in anything that isn't JRPG menus

So by following this team set up, i jus finished the 10 games in a row without letting a single enemy team score 1 time, completely flawless😭i abused Brother and Wedge, didnt even bother with jecht shot.

I don’t mind blitz ball man I don’t see how I haven’t had over 450 battles does wakka have to be in the party for all of them cause if so I’m kinda fucked 😅

should rename it impossible to get. just like Tidus' and Lulu's

Best player in blitzball is tats no doubt invisible shot

Blitz ball is easy lol just hug the left side and pass with jassu to wedge and tidus and it’ll be almost too easy especially with jumal at goalie the only thing I do different is put zelk Ronso at center he’s so bulky and he comes with tackle slip which makes him damn near impenetrable but he’s slow as shit lol idk I score like 6-8 times a game and give up no goals so it’s a fool proof plan I promise

👍

I gonna say it why this game have one of the most annoying things to just get a weapon

three hours after resetting the last match of my first tournament for attack reels, i give the fuck up, blitzball sucks worse than Donald Trump.

Blitzball is so boring
