Strategy explanation

In the third Luca encounter you fight three waves of Workers, with two of them in each wave: usually in the 1st wave one is killed with 2 Tidus Attacks, 1 Kimahri Attack and Kimahri’s Seed Cannon and the other is killed by Lulu’s Thunder; in the 2nd wave both Workers are killed by Lulu; in the 3rd wave one of them is killed by Lulu and the other is killed with 2 Kimahri Attacks and 3 Tidus Attacks.

There is a small chance (9% for both Tidus and Kimahri) that one of the Attacks will crit: in that case it’s possible to Attack instead of using Seed Cannon and use it later in the fight but there is still a small chance that 4 Attacks will not kill even if one of them is a crit.

Lancet strategy

By using Lancet with Kimahri it’s possible to skip 2 Worker Attacks since Lancet is a faster action than Attack, with the added benefit of making it impossible for Lulu to get a 2nd turn before the first wave is dead.

1st wave:

  • Tidus > Attack > Worker A
  • Kimahri > Lancet > Worker A
  • Lulu > Thunder > Worker B
  • if Tidus crit or has a Lightningstrike weapon:
    • Kimahri > Lancet > Worker A
  • else:
    • Kimahri > Seed Cannon > Worker A

2nd wave:

  • Lulu > Thunder > Worker B
  • Tidus > Defend
  • Kimahri > Defend (x2 if he didn’t Seed Cannon)
  • Lulu > Thunder > Worker A

3rd wave:

  • Tidus > Attack > Worker A
  • Kimahri > Lancet > Worker A (x2)
  • Lulu > Thunder > Worker B
  • Tidus > Attack > Worker A
