Final Fantasy X: Tidus Overdrive - Swordplay

Tidus’s Overdrives in Final Fantasy X are called Swordplay. All of his Swordplays do damage to either a single target or all targets, and you can get them at any point in the game, though it will take some time.

How to Use Swordplay

All of Tidus’s Swordplay attacks have the same mechanic to use. When executed, you will see a timer and a meter, with a small gold section in the middle of the meter and a marker going back and forth. Your goal is to hit when the marker is in the middle of the meter, and to do it before the timer runs out.
