what is kimahri for?

[should i lie, steal or care]

ik tidus is for normal enemies auron for evnemies with shields wakka for aerial yuna for healing lulu for elemental damage but what is kimahri for?

[Hinnyuu]

Kimahri has one, very important job.

...to steal Lv.3 Key Spheres from Biran and Yenke.

That's it.

[Boshiken]

Kimahri is the Protector for Yuna - like Auron for Tidus.
Usually you go for Steal and Haste at the Start - and to Auron Grid for Strength later.
So you can steal useful Items and speed the Group.
You can also go to any other Grid than Auron later.
One Key Fight is with Biran and Yenke to overkill them, learn Techniques and steal.

Kimahri doesn't have a specialized enemy type he's good against. His design is the "get a bit of everything" kind of archetype, but unfortunately, that doesn't really work well in this game - proper counters against smaller foes are generally onehits during most of the story, and the "semi-competent all-rounder" attacks often are not, so Kimahri just puts in extra attacks that achieve nothing.

On the Expert Grid, he can be developed into a semi-competent support mage though, and "semi-competent" is good enough to overkill a lot of the enemies that are meant to be killed by Tidus or Wakka, but come with elemental weaknesses.

If you're not trying to level everybody, Kimahri is generally the first one you can ignore completely. If you do try to level everybody, try to have Kimahri do some support work. Picking up Steal and Use as soon as you can access it gives you something useful to do with his turns since Stealing is always fun, and items do not rely on offensive stats.

i think he is poop even though i used him in my main group in my last playthrough. i also still struggle to get his ultimate weapon because his mini game is poop just like his abilities.

They created Kimari so FFVI Setzer wasn’t the most useless and obscure FF character anymore.

I just did a standard grid playthrough where I grinded sin scales for longer than I ever had. I broke kimari into rikku's path for just steal and use, then saved his levels till I got a key to break him into the end of yunas path and get holy. He was my main character. He had curaga, dispel, holy was huge damage. When I got to thunderplains and farmed him an MP stroll armor from the cactuars using elctro marbles that he was stealing from the elementals. He was super good.

I mean... anyone would have been? ;)

You farm someone up and pump into their development, they're going to excel. Not because of who they are, but because of what you did.

Kimahri has uses, but he's almost unequivocally the least useful character based on the actual discriminating factors like early game stats or overdrive. Yeah Lulu isn't too far off, but at least she has a chunk of free Magic to start with that takes a lot of time to match, and while her overdrive isn't amazing it's fairly consistent overkill damage for things like bosses during the story portion. Whereas Kimahri's overdrive has very limited uses even for the story, since a lot of the moves just plain suck. You can cheese Wendigo a little with petrify but that's about it.

Nice try, but tidus wakka lulu and yuna all got the same number of s.levels but with that grid path he was better than them all.

Then that's because you chose the better path for him, and chose NOT to go a better path with everyone else. Slvls aren't what gives you power, what you DO with them is.

There are no inherent differences between characters except for their starting stats and their overdrives. With identical stats and equipment, everyone performs identically (save for overdrives, obviously). If you see differences, it's because either the stats or the equipment are different. And aside from very early on in the game, that's usually a direct result of choices you made and could have made differently.

that's it you got it! good job buddy you're a good boy!

But that doesn't make Kimahri a good character. You're essentially saying "If I treat him as very special, then he's good!", but again, that's true for every character.

So I'm not sure why you feel it's appropriate to be so condescending when your post entirely missed the point of this thread, which was shown very well by Hinnyuu.

what is "Sing a Poor" for?
what is Wakka for?
Wakka as profile picture - just a waste
Forward Position (LF and RF)
1. Larbeight
2. Vilucha
3. Isken
4. Nedus
5. Shaami
6. Tidus
7. Datto
8. Wakka
9. Biggs
10. Basik
11. Argai
12. Giera
- so Wakka and Tidus are of no use
- no one else will ever hire them in their team
- never learn drain tackle

"KiMaHrI is UseLEss if i start sending him down Lulus path and then turn around to go towards Auron" - that is just about as intelligent as your post.
Kimahri early on is decent as he is basically right inbetween Wakka and Tidus. But afterwards he is just a slightly different version of whatever path you choose for him - aka just a clone of other characters. And while his starting-stats are not bad he needs a few extra levels just to get to most paths.
Where he is good is dealing with armored enemies cause Auron is for most of it just slow and only Kimahri regularly get weapons with piercing.
His overdrive sounds nice on paper but saldy also isn't all that strong.
