Ironclad (Final Fantasy X)

Ironclad is an enemy in Final Fantasy X, created in the Species Conquest at Monster Arena after ten Iron Giant and ten of each type of Gemini fiend have been captured. The prize for unlocking it is 60 Mana Tablets and the cost to fight it is 8,000 gil. It uses the same model as the Iron Giant.
==Stats==
==Battle==
Ironclad's attacks are physical. Its primary technique is "Reppageki" , a quick sword strike on one character that it uses as a counterattack in response to any damage. On its turn, Ironclad will use Reppageki, then "Bushinzan" , which attacks all characters for both HP and MP damage, then the more powerful "Shinryuudan" , a jump attack against the character with the highest current HP. Against aeons, it will only use Reppageki.
It drops weapons with Strength +% abilities and armor with HP +% abilities, the Strength +20% and HP +30% abilities being fixed.
===Strategy===
The best option for damaging it is using the Celestial Weapons. 
Ironclad is not immune to Magic/Mental Break, but these will only work 5% of the time due to its Magic/Mental Break resistance. Similarly, it is not immune to Armor Break, but it will only work 5% of the time. A Frag Grenade or Auron's Banishing Blade Overdrive (if successful) will inflict Armor Break with a 100% chance, the latter also inflicting the first two Breaks.
For surviving Ironclad's attacks, having Protect, five layers of Cheer and/or Defense+20% armor will help. Reppageki and Shinryuudan both target a single character, so the player could have one character use Sentinel to protect the rest of the party while taking reduced damage. For the party-hitting Bushinzan, the player could have all three characters defend when Ironclad is about to use this attack. Lastly, if the characters have Evasion of 200 or more, almost all of Ironclad's Reppageki attacks will miss.
