Tanket

Template:Sideicon Template:FFX Enemies The Tanket is a special enemy in Final Fantasy X, created in the Monster Arena when three of each Helm-species fiends have been captured, with the exception of the Swamp Mafdet as that is only encountered when capturing fiends is not possible.

The key reason to fight Tanket is for the Defense spheres for those who want to max out their stats.

Battle

Like its fellow Helm monsters, Tanket is encased in a harder-than-steel shell, meaning weapons without the Piercing ability will do little damage. Although it may appear slow, Tanket has a couple of nasty tricks. His normal attack will inflict Berserk and also Delay the next turn of its victim.

Its special Rush Attack will inflict the same, but also cause Tanket's Agility to increase, meaning it will receive more turns. It is inadvisable to use any aeons other than the Magus Sisters.

Tanket drops weapons with Strength +% abilities and armor with Defense +% abilities, Strength +20% and Defense +20% being fixed abilities.

Strategy

The best strategy is to take it down with party member's with fully-powered Celestial Weapons before Tanket gets a turn. A weakened Auron with the Masamune is advised for maximum damage, preferably alongside allies of: Rikku with Godhand, Kimahri with Spirit Lance, Wakka with World Champion, or Tidus with Caladbolg, both at full HP. Tanket has a relatively low Overkill requirement, so scoring an Overkill should be achieved by any player with the Break Damage Limit, assuming their Strength isn't lacking.
