Duel With Luca Blight

[TomTom]

This is the only duel in Suikoden that I have lost too. I can't seem to get his pattern down and I keep losing. Can you guys help. Only have had one other problem duel and that was in Suikoden V.

Still can't beat Luca Blight? I remember that it was a difficult duel, but it took me several times until I could beat him. Here are some tips directly from the Suikoden II - Duel Guide at GameFAQs on beating Luca Blight in the duel:

=====================
Luca Blight vs Hero
=====================

Notes:
This is very easy. Luca is strong but his HP will be very low when the
battle begins which makes this battle hard to loose.

Thanks Mike. The third time I dueled him he started with almost no health so it was easy. I will be done with the game by the LAN party.
