With boss fights againstYuna’s former aeonswaiting for players at the end of the game, having all the dresspheres and as much to choose from as possible is key to winning. However, many dresspheres are easy to miss and quite difficult to earn. Here’s where each of the non-default (Thief, Gunner, Warrior) dresspheres can be found.
Updated on July 21, 2025, by Anastasia Maillot:The Final Fantasy franchise is seeing some interesting action again in 2023, with Final Fantasy 16 taking a bold step outside of the franchise’s usual style and theme in a more mature, serious approach. Meanwhile, fans who miss the silliness of some of the earlier Final Fantasy entries might look back to Final Fantasy 10-2, which in comparison looks like a silly anime show. And yet, even in 2023, thanks to the HD Remaster, there’s something heartwarming about the girl power Yuna, Rikku, and Paine embody. Those planning on revisiting FF10-2 in the current year will be met with the quirky dressphere system and some of the most unique gameplay the franchise has seen throughout its existence. In this updated guide onhow to find all FF10-2 dresspheres, some additional information on each dressphere’s abilities and viability has been provided.
Songstress
The easiest dressphere to get by far, aside from the three default ones already available, Songstress can be acquired right off the bat in the very first fight Yuna, Rikku, and Paine will have against Leblanc after the opening concert.
Songstress is definitely a supporting dressphere, ideal for applying buffs on party and debuffs on enemies. It’s a slightly weaker alternative to other support dresspheres but does come with some interesting abilities like Jitterbug which grants Haste, Carnival Cancan for doubling the party’s HP, and Dirty Dancing, which lets the other party members score critical hits for the duration of the dance.
White Mage
During Chapter 1, the trio will eventually headto Besaid Island to visit some old friends. While there, a dangerous quest leads them to Besaid Cave, at the end of which a dressphere can be discovered. However, in order to get it, the Flame Dragon needs to be defeated, which is one of the game’s earlier boss fights.
White Mage is a dressphere that’s focused heavily on support. In fact, it’s considered by far the best support dressphere in the game, close to the Alchemist that can also apply incredibly strong heals on the party. White Mages get access to all forms of Cure, can Pray to restore a bit of health to the whole group each turn, and also have powerful healing spells like Life and Esuna at their disposal.
Black Mage
An offensive counterpart to the White Mage dressphere, Black Mages will dish out potent damage in the form of elemental spells like Fire, Water, Thunder, and Blizzard. As this dressphere is leveled up, more powerful versions of the original spells can be used for devastating damage.

This dressphere is part of the earliest missions on Mt. Gagazet, where players must race to the top of the ruins before Leblanc and his goons. Even if the party can’t make it before Leblanc, the dressphere will still be the final reward for finishing the quest.Black Mages are great for dealing elemental damageabove all and are a staple in theFinal Fantasyfranchise. That said, this dressphere isn’t the greatest option unless players encounter enemies that have nonexistent Magic Defense.
Gun Mage
Gun Mages are a unique type. They’re not quite as straightforwardly useful as many other dresspheres, but they’ll come in handy due to their ability to deal extra damage to specific types of fiends and being able to scan information on various enemies and fiend types. Most importantly, Gun Mages have access to the Blue Bullet ability, which lets them learn various interesting and powerful abilities from enemies. Ever wanted to use Supernova or Drill Shot? A Gun Mage can make that happen.
To get it, there are two ways. Either during Chapter 1, when Yuna, Rikku, and Paine can choose to help bring Tobli’s caravan to Moonflow by starting an optional side quest. Or, it can be gained during Chapter 2 by helping Tobli sell some tickets in Moonflow during an optional quest.
Dark Knight
For a tanky dressphere with some of the best boss damage in the game, look no further. This truly is one of the strongest dresspheres out there, and fairly easy to get as well. It can be discovered in the Bevelle Underground, as early as Chapter 2. To get to the chest it’s in, the player needs tounlock a few switches at the triple elevator before the fight against Baralai:
Dark Knights sacrifice a bit of their health to cast Darkness, a powerful damaging ability. On top of it, Dark Knights have access to some Arcana abilities, such as Demi and Bio. They also get some of the highest base HP and tons of resistances as the dressphere is leveled up. There’s also the powerful Charon ability, which has the character run into an enemy and deal high damage while dying in the process—a great last-ditch effort if sacrificing one party member is doable.
Alchemist
Completing the mission for the Alchemist dressphere should be done sooner rather than later, given it’s the best support dressphere inFF10-2, next to White Mage. In Chapter 2, head over to Calm Lands and pick up the side quest from Clasko that involves clearing out a dungeon so he can startraising Chocobo in it. Beware, however, as some of the fiends inside like the Queen Coeurl are able to one-hit kill.
Once the job is done, the Alchemist dressphere is acquired. The Alchemist is an excellent support who at maximum level can use items quickly, mix various concoctions on the fly, and best yet, access the Stash. The Stash contains extremely powerful healing items, like the Mega Potion, which can be spammed in boss fights to consistently keep the party alive, and grants 2000 HP to each party member per cast.
Samurai
Another fairly tanky and high damage dressphere quite similar to Dark Knight, one of the best parts of the kit is Zantetsu, an ability that can instakill an enemy. Within Bushido, a wide range of powerful abilities like Dismissal, Fireworks, and Momentum can also be found. The dressphere can really rack up some serious damage when its abilities are used to their maximum potential.
The dressphere can be accessed as early as Chapter 3, found within Kilika Temple. Just beforethe encounter with Ifrit, the dressphere is sitting on the ground and can be easily missed if players are in a hurry. Alternatively, it can also be discovered in Chapter 5, inside the Chamber of Fayth.
Berserker
Strong on the offensive, and weak on the defensive, the Berserker is all about high damage and high health pool. The Berserk ability will make the player lose control of their character but deal high damage, while the Instinct ability tree has a wide range of high damage abilities like Cripple and Mad Rush, and even instakills like Eject.

During Chapter 3, go to Lake Macalania and wipe all the fiends in the area nearby the travel agency. As a reward, Yuna, Rikku, and Paine will receive this dressphere.
Trainer
Drawing inspiration from the Beastmaster, depending on the character, Yuna, Rikku, and Paine will each command their own unique pet while wearing this dressphere. Kogoro, Ghiki, and Flurry each have their own abilities, with Kogoro focused on elemental magic, Ghiki focused on status effects like Darkness and Silence, and Flurry proficient in Poison and Petrification.
To get this dressphere, players must make the right choice in Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 when speakingwith Kimahri. In both dialogues, Kimahri will express his concern for the younglings for the Ronso. Pick the second option, which has Yuna tell Kimahri he needs to figure these things out on his own. Return in Chapter 3, and Kimahri will grant Yuna the Trainer dressphere.
Lady Luck
Lady Luck is a dressphere that has incredibly good utility. Not only does Lady Luck work fantastically when trying to level characters quickly, thanks to the double XP passive perk that can be learned, but Lady Luck has tremendous potential to deal fantastic damage if players feel comfortable using the Attack and Magic Reels. Two Dice and Four Dice are also incredibly useful against a variety of enemies.
To get this dressphere, the player needs to beat Shinra in a game of Sphere Break as early as Chapter 3. The earlier this quest is done, the easier he will be to beat. Sphere Break is a monster of its own to master, but with some practice, it’s a simple mathematical game at its core.
The best strategy against Shrina is to always go for Echo on Sphere Breaks, and the player’s quota will rise exponentially as the round progresses. It’s possible to try and beat Shrina in Chapter 5 for another chance of getting the Lady Luck dressphere if players missed it initially.
