abstract | - Cheer is a special ability that targets all active party members, and raises Strength and resistance to physical damage. Its effects stack up to 5 times per party member, and remain until the end of battle. Cheer raises Strength stat by 1 point per cast; this can even raise the Strength stat to 260 during battle. It also reduces physical damage in a manner similar to the Protect spell; after a physical attack's base damage has been calculated, Cheer reduces that damage by a certain percentage. Casting Cheer once cuts damage received by 1/15 (or about 6.67%). Each additional cast raises this damage reduction to 2/15, 3/15, 4/15, and finally 5/15. It is found in Tidus's section of the Sphere Grid, and is the first ability available for him to learn.
