YAT-97

Learn the YAT-97's stats, weaknesses, and item drops in Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster. Get tips on how to defeat this Zanarkand enemy effectively.

Alright, let's talk about the YAT-97! You'll run into this mechanical menace in the later parts of Zanarkand. It's a bit of a tricky one because it likes to hang back behind other enemies at first, launching attacks that can hit one of your party members or even everyone. Once you clear out the enemies in front, it'll reposition and can only target individuals.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• HP: 3,700
• Overkill HP: 5,550
• AP: 3,200
• Weak: Fire, Water
• Strong: Nothing

Item Drops:

• Common Drop: Phoenix Down (x2)
• Rare Drop: Mega Phoenix
• Common Steal: Holy Water (x3)
• Rare Steal: Ether (x2)

Strategy:

• Focus on defeating the enemies in front of the YAT-97 first. This will force it to move up and limit its attack options to single targets.
• Even though it's weak to Fire and Water, its magic defense is pretty high. You'll likely do more damage by sticking to physical attacks with your strongest characters.
• Keep an eye on your party's HP, especially when it targets multiple members. Heal up as needed.
• Don't forget to try and steal those rare items like Mega Phoenix and Ether!
