I thought the combo of Zack+Rosa would be overkill here, but apparently not... I barely made turn/score here.
Beatrix on the other hand worked nicely, overall good damage/sustain/battery, though this fight isn't too tanky in terms of DEF and the boss actually gains weapon type weakness.
The overabundance of buffs actually worked in favour to push off debuffs (though the framed one on the phoenix was more annoying). On fights with predictable HP damage you can nullify it with the EX HP+, the difference between her and Edge is that Beatrix has more flexibility in when she can apply the buff while Edge's party dodge is tied to his EX. Not to mention Beatrix has a faster recast.

![DFFOO JP - Old School Delay Strat vs. Cinque LC Chaos - Shadow/Setzer/Leo ft.Quistis
What is friend Quistis doing when Leo is a thing?
The [Action Delay Up] debuff from skill 1, or Turn Rate Down in GL.
While it is not strictly a SPD down, it work in tandem with a SPD down debuff to further slow the enemy down, and is quite useful here.
As for the fight proper, this time I went with a Freeze/Delay/Damage setup, pretty straight forward. DFFOO JP - Old School Delay Strat vs. Cinque LC Chaos - Shadow/Setzer/Leo ft.Quistis](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/sG2zJnnLA44/mqdefault.jpg)
