This is a very special Carry Armor battle. In all my previous challenges, there was one annoying thing you had to avoid at the beginning of the battle, but not today. After all these years, we finally want to see Lapis Laser at the beginning, as this will bring Tifa's HP to the critical level. Then she deals 16x normal damage with Deathblow.

The chance of seeing Lapis Laser at the beginning of the battle is 50% in theory, but it's closer to 90% when you don't want him to use it and definitely under 25% when you do. However, that's just the beginning of the luck fest. First of all, you don't want to see Lapis Laser for the rest of the battle, and you don't want to see Arm Grab. Also, Tifa can't get attacked for the rest of the battle, but Red has Cover and I think it was at 60% here. Finally, you need Deathblow to connect three times. Two might be enough if Tifa counters Lapis Laser and you don't get killed in the meantime.

So yeah, a very luck reliant battle that needed at least 50 attempts, but at least it's simple and effective. You have to go through more Submarine Crews on the way to the save point, but they have no chance. Not even the final battle.
