The Iron Giant is an enemy in Final Fantasy X found in the northern section of the Thunder Plains. They also appear in unison with the Gemini enemy in the Omega Ruins.
Stats[]
Battle[]
Iron Giants have high Strength and are Armored, but have low defenses. They will attack the character with the lowest HP three times, then use Reaper to damage the party. If Provoked, they will use Leaping Swing, and against aeons, they will only use basic physical attacks. Iron Giants are excellent sources of AP, yielding 1200 if overkilled.
Iron Giants will drop armor with SOS Regen (which sell for a high price) and/or HP +5% or +10%. They will also drop weapons with Strength or Magic bonuses of +5% or +10%.
Strategy[]
Auron's or Kimahri's Piercing weapons do the best damage, or the party can use Armor Break. Lulu's elemental magic works well, except for Thunder, which Iron Giant resists. Summoning Valefor is also efficient, as Iron Giant is slow enough that Valefor can chain half a dozen Sonic Wings before it gets an attack in. One Boost will also charge the Overdrive gauge from empty to full at the cost of nearly 600 damage.
