As you all may or may not know, I don't normally bother with the D??? fights after Jenova.
But I figured my X team was decent and I sub-30'd the D240/D280 with little trouble (which, in my limited experience, is a good indicator of how well I'll do on the D???) so I thought I'd give D??? Yunalesca a try. I was in the bathroom and not enough stamina to do a full daily anyway.
First try, 62%. No checking script or changing my team from D280.
Tidus (LM2+LMR): R3 Sapphire Shot, R4 Sapphire Bullet, Scholar's Boon (USB1), double water boost
Wakka: R3 Entrust, R5 Wrath, Ace Striker (USB1 - didn't use), one water boost
Rikku (LM1+LM2): R4 Flash Disaster, Shellga song, Mako Might (CSB/BSSB2)
Paine (LM1+LM2): R4 Torrent Spellstrike, R3 Water Quadstrike, Swd DMG+30%, double water boost
Yuna: R2 Hastega, R4 Curada, Gathering Storm (BSSB2/SSB2)
Major Dark resist on Rikku, holy resist on everyone else.
Magicite: Geo (+L15 ATK boon/L15 Empower Water), Necrophobe (+L10 Dark Resist), Seraph (+L10 Holy Resist), Famfrit (+L8 Blade Ward/L8 HP Boon), Evrae (+L8 HP Boon)
I suspect that, thanks to the magicite deck, this initially wasn't as bad as I was fearing. IN fact, I was cruising along until I Wakka got hit with Mind Blast which KOed him early, so I never got to use his USB1. He only got to entrust a bit of bar to Yuna for early BSSb2 and that's it. Yuna was keeping up with the healing, and SSB2 is actually pretty nice after BSSb2 with Seraph (7000+ healing). But without mitigation, Incubus Ultima at the start of Phase 3 wrecked me. Only Tidus and Paine survived, Paine bit it to Chain Water after, though Tidus lasted another two turns and did another 250,000 damage or so since her slotted attacks whiffed. I would have died to Incubus Hellbiter anyway, but Sap got me before that happened.
Anyway, pretty encouraging. I know I can go further, but I don't intend to revisit the fight any time soon. At least I know that I'm in "okay" shape for this realm.
Oh, and on a completely unrelated note, I've had great quantity luck with the daily draw, and am up to nineteen relics pulled, including back-to-back hits yesterday and today. Unfortunately, quality has been pretty bad, with only a handful of those being useful. I'd trade half of those relics for a decent disco.
