----------------------------------------------------------------------------

This battle is very easy if you're prepared before hand, namely having 2x Wings of Discovery in your possession and a 1x Smoke Bomb. In a normal playthrough, Defender X is a tough boss battle due to his high magic and physical defense. Along with this, he is immune to Power Break, and his attacks really pack a punch. Where he is most difficult is that he counters all physical attacks, making the use of item and magic attacks favorable. While like most physical attacks can be dodged with the enemy affected by Darkness, his deadly attack "Haymaker" ignores this and is sure to one-shot party members, let alone outright destroying a NSG party one by one. With all this in mind, he also has Initiative, which means he will always attack first, unless you have someone equipped with a weapon that has First Strike.

In this battle, we start off with Tidus, Yuna, and Lulu, with Tidus having a weapon with First Strike equipped. We also have at least 1x Smoke Bomb*, and 2x Wings of Discovery** in our inventory. The steps for this battle are quite simple.

BOSS: DEFENDER X - 65000 HP

1. Swap in Rikku and use Smoke bomb to blind Defender X
2. Defend your party members and swap Yuna with Tidus.
3. Use Rikku's Mix Trio 9999 (WINGS OF DISCOVERY x 2)
4. Use Tidus's Slice and Dice and or Lulu's Fury
5. If he's still not dead, just attack it to finish it off or use Aeons. (via No Sphere Grid Challenge FAQ by Dustman / Xharas)

Luckily, Riku was switched in and Defender X targeted her, and because she has a weapon with Evade and Counter equipped, she was sure to not get hit. Overall, the battle can not get easier than what is shown here.
