Final Fantasy X (Lowest Turn Count) Ep. 4 - Piranhas and Tros
13So there are random battles in the area which you can just flee from and there's one forced encounter with 3x Piranha. Since I have no grenades I need to steal some more, but I don't want to waste any turns.
It's actually better to steal the grenade from a random encounter, then flee. This costs only 1 turn to steal then you can throw the grenade right away to kill everything in the forced encounter. Otherwise if we just do the forced encounter, we have to steal, attack with Tidus then throw the grenade. So we save 1 turn there. Additionally, you have a 25% chance to steal 2x Grenades, so I need to reset until I get 2x.
I actually figured out a pretty interesting strategy here for the boss. Instead of waiting for 2x Grenades from a random battle, I instead Steal 2x Grenades plus 1x Grenade from a single battle and then flee. This uses 2 turns. Afterwards, I just get into random battles and let the ambushes bring me into overdrive with Rikku. Tidus also got his overdrive as a result of farming for ambushes. Which is fine, I'll use it eventually.
Now I have 3x Grenades. I use one on the forced Piranha fight, and them mix 2x Grenades for the Flash Flood Mix, which does ~700 damage, 6 times. Allowing me to one shot, and overkill, the boss.
I wasn't expecting to have such a strong attack at this point. I was expecting this section to take roughly 15 ish turns, instead it only took 4!
This Section: 4 Turns
Run total: 36 Turns
