1.Dual Heads: Both heads can be active, leading to a mix of physical and magical attacks.
2.Strategy:

Final Phase (Low HP):
1.Yang Takes Aim: A devastating attack that can one-hit kill if you're not careful.
2.Strategy:
3.Dodge away as soon as you see this attack coming, or use Moogle Decoy to take the hit.
4.Finish the fight with your strongest abilities or spells, focusing on Fire.
Strategies:
•Exploit Fire Weakness: Use Fire magic or Cait Sith's Heatwave whenever you can, especially during stagger.
•Moogle Utilization: Keep your Moogle out to distract Yin and Yang, use Moogle Mines to build stagger or deal damage.
•Defensive Play: Use Barrier or Protection Materia against Yang's spells, and dodge or block Yin's physical attacks.
•Stagger and Pressure: Pressure them by dealing continuous damage, focusing on Fire attacks. Once one head is destroyed, the other head goes berserk, but this also makes it easier to pressure.
Tips:
•ATB Management: Use ATB for abilities like Let's Ride to quickly build ATB and then use Heatwave or Fire spells.
•Healing: Use Chakra or Prayer for MP conservation, especially on Hard Mode.
•Limit Breaks: Save your Limit Break for when Yin and Yang are staggered or when you need a big burst of damage to finish them off.
•Summoning: If you have a Fire-based summon like Ifrit, use it to deal significant damage or to end the fight if you're low on health.
•Hard Mode: Equip Fire Materia to your weapon for elemental damage on attacks, and use Cait Sith's Moogle Decoy liberally to manage aggro.
•Timing: Be ready to dodge "Yang Takes Aim" - this is a critical moment in the fight.
