Defender X Boss Battle Guide

Details

Defender X
Defender X has a high attack damage. It also has an armored status making normal attacks ineffective. While this seems like a hard boss battle, it's actually one of the easiest bosses if you know about the provoke trick against it (which of course, is discussed below).

Preparation

Magics Haste
Items Chocobo Wings
Abilities Provoke

Moveset

Haymaker Deals massive damage to a single target.
Blast Punch Deals damage equal to half of its target's current HP.

Strategy

Use Tidus's Provoke (or anyone else that has the provoke skill) to make Defender X focus him. Defender X will only use Blast Punch so it can never kill the character that provoked it. Apply Armor Break to it then finish the fight with normal attacks.

Just use this and it worked...Lulu and Yuna need to be strong with magic to chunk off damage
