•Exploit Lightning Weakness: Use Thunder, Thundara, or summon Ramuh if available.
Stagger and Pressure:
•Damage the tail fin to pressure the boss, especially when it uses Grasping Tail.
•Use abilities like Cloud's Triple Slash or Barret's Focused Shot to build stagger when pressured.
•Synergy: Utilize Aerith's Radiant Ward for doubled spell effects, particularly with Lightning spells.
•Defensive Measures: Ensure you have enough healing or use Barret's Steelskin for damage reduction.
Tips:
•Character Switching: Swap characters to deal with different phases of the fight; for example, switch to Cloud for aerial combat or Barret to free allies from Water Cells.
•MP Conservation: Try to use ATB for abilities rather than spells for healing unless absolutely necessary.
•Positioning: Stay away from the center during Oceanic Tornado; use the edges of the arena for safety.
•Limit Breaks: Save these for when the boss is staggered or low on health for the highest impact.
•Ranged vs. Melee: Balance between Cloud's melee to stagger and Barret/Aerith's ranged damage for safety and continuous damage.
•Summoning: If you have Ramuh, summon him to deal significant lightning damage and control the fight's pace.
