Wakka

Wakka (voiced by John DiMaggio) is a playable character in Final Fantasy X, who is a blitzball player and one of Yuna's guardians. He appears in a smaller role Final Fantasy X-2, as well as Final Fantasy X: Eternal Calm and Final Fantasy X -Will-. Wakka is the only playable character from Final Fantasy X who cannot be recruited in Final Fantasy X-2: International and Final Fantasy X-2 HD Remaster.

Wakka is the first person Tidus meets after washing up on Besaid, and befriends Tidus after being impressed by his blitzball skills. He is the captain of the Besaid Aurochs, a team that has never won a game. He grew up with Yuna along with Lulu, and views her as a younger sister. His late brother Chappu was a Crusader who lost his life while wielding a machina weapon. For this, Wakka harbors a resentment for machina, and bigotry towards the Al Bhed who use them, and uses his staunch following of the teachings of Yevon (which forbid machina) to further rationalize his hatred. His world-view broadens during Yuna's pilgrimage, and despite his bigotry, Wakka is a loyal friend, and helps Tidus come to grips with Spira.

Wakka is a ranged attacker, and uses his blitzballs and armbands in battle. His Sphere Grid path grants him high Accuracy, several Skill abilities that inflict negative status effects, and a few Blk Magic spells. His Celestial Weapon, World Champion, deals more damage the higher his current HP is. His Overdrive, Slots, deals various damaging effects with his blitzball depending on slot input, and Attack Reels in particular allows him to potentially deal some of the highest amount of damage possible in one turn in the game. Wakka is one of three characters along with Tidus and Rikku who can fight underwater, and can be used in blitzball matches as a team member.
