Why does Caius have doom anyways? Thematically. I kinda expected giga graviton from his boss fight, but whatever.

Anyways, This is what I feel how Caius' gimmick can be practically used, against hard-hitting enemies that doesn't immediately follow up with HP damage, properly timed doom can overcome a full party break/delay and gives you time to live another for another turn.

Although, I wouldn't say this is a preferrable method of dealing with heavy attacks. Taking excessive breaks does negatively impact scoring, and it can be risky in time of misplays. It is not a recommended strategy for fights you don't know well.

Selphie aside, i feel this team of Hope/Leo is the best team I can put together for Caius. Leo's ST debuff boosts Caius' damage significantly, while Hope covers for defensive and AoE. In fact I was quite surprised Hope worked out well here despite the fight resisting magic.
