I nearly Black Batted myself to death.
Challenge Conditions
-) No Items
-) Initial Equipment
-) No Accessories
-) No Physical Attacks/Limits
-) No Non-Mandatory Inns: pastebin.com/WHheXtMc
-) Allowed Materia List: pastebin.com/cHJs2BLH
So the end of our first 'boss rush' segment of the challenge goes off without too many problems. Jenova here has decent magic defence + HP which makes this slightly dangerous. We can completely nullify her attacks on one person with Fire + Elemental, but this doesn't help if you can't bring her down, so I left this off.
The first order of business is the Silence; she'll cast this at the start of the fight and whoever it hits either needs Seal + Added Effect (only your third character can have this, as both Cloud and Tifa are wearing Bronze Bangles :I) or to get an Esuna casted.
Second, you get Slow casted on her to put a wrench in her damage output. They can add up over the course of the fight and you don't want to be wasting MP on healing or mitigation if you can help it. After that, it's damage time so Bolt3 + Comet get chucked out before slowing it down to regular Bolt1 as MP starts to fall low.
With a win here, we've got MP Turbo which I should probably start building up for faster battles. I doubt it's more economical for MP vs Damage but it's nice to have the option there. Our next heal after the Junon incident isn't going to be until the Midgar Raid itself so that's Carry Armor, various soldiers, Rocket Rude, maybe the Gelnika Turks + Rapps, and finally Diamond Weapon so lots to do, little MP to waste :c
