Auron’s Overdrive “Bushido” consists of four different attacks that he can unleash on enemies. He’ll start off with one technique (Dragon Fang), and he will learn the others mostly from collecting Jecht Spheres during Yuna’s pilgrimage.
The Jecht Spheres throughout Spira are mostly a side-quest, meaning you won’t collect them all by default. But you can start collecting them right after you defeat the Spherimorph in Macalania Woods.

Banishing Blade Inputs
Auron can learn up to 4 different Bushido attacks for his Overdrive. Each one will have a different button sequence to gain a special effect – but the button sequences are the same each time, so you can memorize them for consistency.
Being able to hit the correct button inputs faster will also result in the attack dealing more damage.
Here’s a look at what each attack does and what special effect it comes with.

Where To Find All Jecht Spheres
Jecht Sphere on the S.S. Liki
Once you gain access to start collecting Jecht Spheres, you’ll be right in the middle of Yuna’s pilgrimage. Some spheres can be found in places you’ve already been to, so for those you’ll need the airship to make a quick return to past areas.
When you find a Jecht Sphere, each one will play footage of Jecht during his time in Spira. This adds to the storyline and gives you a small glimpse of his adventures with Auron and Lord Braska.
Below is a table of where you can find each sphere in the game, and how to ultimately collect all 10 so you can unlock all of Auron’s overdrives.
Note: There are a couple of spheres that aren’t labeled as Jecht Spheres, but they are included in the 10 you’ll need to find to unlock all of Auron’s Overdrive attacks.
