Using Ice attacks brings it down quickly, so attacks such as Blizzaga and Ice Brand inflict the most damage to it. It is also wise to have some status resistance to Sleep, Darkness, and Silence. The Machina Striker will retaliate with Triple Play! after being damaged every 13 times, which unleashes a barrage of blitzballs on random characters with each of the 10 hits removing 3/16 of maximum HP. Because of this, it is advisable to finish this enemy off quickly.

Machina Striker can be fought as the team 'No Limit'. Players who seek to upgrade their party, especially captured creatures, would benefit from fighting Machina Striker. Apart from its high EXP yield, the machina also has a rare offensive item called the L-Bomb, with one that can be stolen and three as a common drop. Consuming 10 L-Bombs will teach Fireworks, one of the most powerful abilities in the game.
Its rare drop, Petrifying Grenade, can also teach the even stronger ability Hurt when 10 or more units are obtained and then consumed on a creature. Teaching Hurt to any creature with a high HP pool, high Strength stat, and the Total Limit Break or Break Damage Limit auto abilities, can potentially result in them surpassing 50,000 points of damage in one hit. At 99,999 HP, Hurt will inflict 74,999 damage (can rise to 99,999 if chained).
To enter the Aeon Cup in the Fiend Arena, the player must capture and raise the story levels of eight special creatures. Though these creatures will immediately be available to be released upon capture, the player must raise their story levels by four before releasing them to change that particular creature into an aeon. The Machina Striker is one of these eight creatures, capable of being changed into Ixion.
