Final Fantasy X is one of many entries in the hugely popular JRPG franchise. First coming onto the scene in 2001, FFX is the tenth entry, first releasing for PlayStation 2, before coming to other consoles years later. The game finally came to Nintendo Switch in 2019 as part of the Final Fantasy X/ X-2 HD remaster collection. Of course, as with any FF title, it features various playable characters besides main protagonist Tidus.

Our FFX Lulu guide aims to provide details on who she is and what she brings to the party, including weapons, armour, and abilities. As a black mage, Lulu is proficient in black magic. She deals out impressive magic damage while also having great defence against the majority of spells thrown her way – a unique advantage for a black mage.

If you enjoy Final Fantasy X, chances are you’re a fan of JRPGs or role-playing games in general. In which case, you might want to check out our list of the best Switch RPGs and the best mobile RPGs. If you’re after a new Switch adventure, we recommend The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and we have handy guides such as BotW Zelda and BotW Link for you to check out. Oh, and if you prefer other Final Fantasy X characters, you’re in luck, as we have a FFX Auron guide, too.

FFX Lulu’s stats Look no further than her stats if you want to know all you need to know about Lulu’s combat capabilities. As expected from a mage, her magic is strong, but it comes at a detriment to her physical prowess.

FFX Lulu’s armour Each character has a different item that classifies as armour, and in the case of Final Fantasy X’s Lulu, it’s bangles – because chest plates don’t keep you alive, pretty shiny things do. There are many out there for you to get your hands on, and, of course, each provides different benefits. Some break the MP and HP limit, while others offer protection against various elements such as fire and lightning.

Given that there are many different bangles up for grabs, we have chosen a select few that we consider beneficial.

FFX Lulu’s weapons I’m going to be honest, Lulu’s weapon of choice creeps me out. There’s something about dolls that I just don’t like. Frankly, I don’t trust them. But, they help Lulu wreak magical havoc on her opponents, so there are some upsides to them.

There are many different dolls to collect, all of which attack the enemy in different ways and possess a range of dominant abilities that can aid in battle.

Such dolls include:

P-mog Distill power

Ominous cait sith Two status touches

FFX Lulu’s abilities There’s a large range of abilities at Lulu’s disposal through the sphere grid, and given her affinity with magic, it should come as no surprise that she has many spells to choose from. The clue as to what each ability does tends to be in the name. For example, death, you don’t get much blunter and to the point than that, and it causes your opponent to, well, um, die.

As for Lulu’s overdrive, she uses fury which casts a flurry of up to sixteen spells, potentially decimating the opposing party. There really is nothing like a woman scorned.
