My first attempt at this fight. Long video just speed it up.
Yuffie is theoretically good, as she can prevent the boss getting buffs, as well as stealing them. Ideally I would time her EX to prevent their physical resistance buff once I'm more familiar with the fight. Unfortunately her damage output here isn't too great in this team.
Eight did fine, I suppose. I didn't realize that the bosses gain physical resistance with the buff at first so a lot of his counter damage went to waste. The bosses resist DEF down debuff which also took away some of Eight's utility, in addition to not having an abusable targetting AI.
Eiko is 2LB here, it felt that her damage was lacking so I decided to MLB her after the fight. Since the bosses can't be abused into targetting Eight all the time her buff extension was less useful.
Agrias friend... just didn't do a whole lot of damage here.
Ultimately I decided that this team isn't ideal to handle this fight, due to the gimmicks and restrictions of preferring Elemental attackers. If I have Lulu or Rydia on this account I would have kept with Eight/Yuffie but I chose not to pull them. There is also currently a bug which a Lulu friend will grant Fire Enchant even when not in field, so I did not bother with that strat..
