How the heck do you do Lulus overdrive?

[fischerscott95]

Truly aggrivating, but how do you do lulus overdrive?

[Uimet]

You just don't.... There no purpose for her overdrive never actually bother to use her overdrive from start of the game until the end you might as well just use a normal cast rather then wasting your time

It doesnt seem to work for me, either. Using an Xbox 360 controller, no matter how fast I spin the analog stick, it barely fills the meter at all.

good....because i thought it was just me......

The bar fills only a bit at the beginning because she is weak. As you progress in her sphere grid, you will be able to fill more and more.

if using the keyboard rapidly tapping left and right seems to do it but it seems to be delayed...

[Bakou]

with a controler, it's the right stick, not the left one

I can't find the exact calculations anymore, but the number of rotations you can get scales with the spell level and Lulu's magic attack. No matter how fast you rotate the stick it's pretty much set to a specific tier with the max being 16 times at 255 mag attack.

I always had problems with her overdrive. I need a script for that XD

From what I've read for the last, couple days...scripts don't help much. Boosting her magic stat does, though. Lowers the amount of "Revolutions" you must do to get a successful level.

I can't believe this is how this is.

It's actually an unpatched, well known issue that is strictly on PC.
The Playstation ports of the remaster can get over twice the rotations in during fury, tested it myself. It's also been reported across websites like gamefaqs since release.
When it cropped up at first people alleged it was a controller issue. Deadzones or poor detection on the game end. But after testing it with keyboards, controllers and on different platforms it became clear that the pc for some reason just butchers her overdrive. Most of your rotations are fruitless, and you can achieve around 4-7 casts on PC while on the PS3 you can get around 14 depending on the spell.

That being said. Lulu's overdrive is garbage. It's almost always more beneficial to haste and doublecast instead. It doesn't cost a percentage of your spell's damage output, doesn't blister your palms like mario party and doesn't run the risk of damaging your controller.

I really never liked her overdrive, neither on PS2 nor on PC....

[HIGHGRADESMOKER87]

Solution to Lulu's bad Overdrive: Teach Yuna black magic. Don't use Lulu.

Not sure I get this. Yuna's overdrive has nothing to do with Black Magic.

In fact Yuna is probably best off going the Auron/Tidus route and becoming a beefcake, since her aeons scale off her stats to a degree and become absolute monsters if you turn her into a fighter.

You can just not use Lulu's overdrive. She starts as a strong mage with her stat advantage, and having MP1 + MPTurbo on her Celestial Weapon is actually useful at endgame when you're spamming Dual Cast + Gravity and/or Ultima to whittle down things for capturing. There's no good magic-based overdrive on anyone, but at least Lulu has MPTurbo so she's probably the objectively best mage - for all that's worth given how magic isn't hugely relevant for the postgame content.
