Press the 'X' button as the back and forth sliding sparkly thing moves within the central marked section before time runs out, except for Blitz Ace, to invoke the most powerful attack. If time runs out without a successful button press, a less powerful attack takes place.

• Blitz Ace: (attained after using 80 Overdrives) Tidus strikes a randomly chosen target eight times and then performs a Sphere Shot once for physical damage from all attacks.
• Energy Rain: (attained after using 30 Overdrives) Tidus jumps high into the air off of an enemy and causes a rain of energy to fall from his sword, causing non-elemental damage.
• Slice and Dice: (attained after using 10 Overdrives) Tidus runs back and forth physically striking six semi-randomly chosen targets.
• Spiral Cut: (attained automatically) Tidus does a flip and performs a physically damaging cut attack against a single opponent.

Jecht Spheres can be found all over Spira to gain new Overdrives. Once Bushido has been selected and initiated, you must enter the contoller button combination, indicated on the screen, within the timer limit to execute the full strength attack. If you don't get them all pressed in time, an attack of lesser strength occurs.

• Banishing Blade: (attained after finding three Jecht Spheres) Auron causes non-elemental damage as well as a Full-Break to a single enemy.
• Dragon Fang: (attained automatically) Auron jumps up into the air, then drives his sword into the ground striking all enemies for non-elemental damage.
• Shooting Star: (attained after finding the first Jecht Sphere) Auron uses an Eject status attack plus physical damage against a single enemy.
• Tornado: (attained after finding all eight Jecht Spheres as well as the Auron and Braska Spheres) Auron creates a huge Tornado, which damages all enemies once or twice, depending upon whether you correctly pressed all the button combinations within the time limit.

Selecting Overdrive causes a three ringed slot machine to spin. Press the 'X' button once for each of the spinning reels to select a slot on each one. The selected slots are used to determine the moves, the more slots of the same choice, the more effective the attack.

You can keep resetting your blitzball data to more quickly receive the Overdrive you want. The teams are also reset, hence you should have no trouble beating them.

• Attack Reels: (won in blitzball league or tournament play) Three 1x slots result in six strikes. A Miss, a 2x slot, and a 1x slot yields 3 attacks. Three 2x slots give 12 enemy strikes. Finally, a 2x slot, 1x slot, and a 2x slot will result in five hits being delivered.
• Auroch's Reels: (won in blitzball league or tournaments) It's the most overrated of the reels, being nothing more than something of a mix of the lesser reels.
• Element Reels: (attained automatically) Three in a line gets that element; one, then two, gets a less powerful version of the two's attack, and none causes a critical attack.
• Status Reels: (won in blitzball league or tournaments) Possible outcomes include a skull, and 2 arrows, causes a Full-Break physical attack; a skull, lock, and arrow, causes a physical attack; 3 skulls invokes Silence, Poison, Darkness, and Sleep statuses; three locks yield a petrification attack; while three arrows causes a physical attack plus Full-Break against all enemies.
