Mech Guard

Learn how to defeat the Mech Guard in Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster. Get tips on its weaknesses, item drops, and best strategies for the Sanubia Desert.

Alright, let's talk about the Mech Guard you'll run into in the Sanubia Desert. These guys are part of the 'machina' group, which is a big hint on how to deal with them. They're not too tough, especially if you know their weaknesses!

Stats / Weaknesses:

• HP: 1,280
• Overkill HP: 1,432
• AP: 310
• Weak To: Thunder
• Resistant To: Nothing (they don't resist anything, but they aren't weak to anything else either)

Item Drops:

• Common Drop: Hi-Potion (x1)
• Rare Drop: Hi-Potion (x1)
• Common Steal: Grenade (x2)
• Rare Steal: Grenade (x3)

Strategy:

• Since they're machina, your first thought should be to Steal. You can snag a couple of Grenades this way, which is pretty handy.
• They are also explicitly weak to Thunder-based attacks. So, if you have Lulu in your party, have her unleash her Thunder spells. This will deal significant damage, making the fight much quicker.
• Their normal attack isn't anything special, so you don't need to worry about any unique mechanics or dangerous special moves. Just focus on exploiting their elemental weakness and using Steal.
