Lowdown on the restrictions of this challenge:
Ability Nodes Only (ANO) - You can only activate ability nodes, no raising characters' stats in anyway.
Own Sphere Grid (OSG) - Each character may not leave their own section of the sphere grid. Note that these rules combined mean you can still use key spheres to e.g. teach Lulu Doublecast, Yuna Auto-Life etc.
No Summons (NS) - Self-explanatory, Aeons are OP meatshields
No Overdrives (NO) - Mainly for getting rid of Rikku's Mix, which is ludicrously OP
No Items (NI) - No using items, in or out of battle. Chakra Drops, Revival Beads, Megido Rocks, all those classic FF staples are banned (you can still customize equipment though)
Initial equipment:
Wakka: (Stonetouch, Stonestrike, First Strike) + (HP +10%, SOS Haste, Stoneproof)
Kimahri: (Piercing, First Strike, Initiative) + (lol)
Auron: (Piercing, One MP Cost, Evade & Counter, First Strike) + (HP +5%, SOS Haste, Stoneproof)
Yuna: (One MP Cost, Magic Booster, Magic +20%, Magic +10%) + (SOS Haste, MP +30%, MP +20%, MP +10%)
Lulu: (One MP Cost, Magic Booster, Magic +20%, Magic +10%) + (SOS Haste, SOS Reflect, SOS NulTide, SOS NulBlaze)
Another battle that should, by all rights, be impossible. Jormungand's regular attack can be evaded, but Stone Gaze kills one and Space Time Vorpal kills everyone - and his attack pattern is completely unpredictable.
...unless one of your characters is petrified, in which case his priority becomes attacking that character an attempt to shatter them. Knowing this, we can force it infinitely by petrifying one of our teammates (guess who?) and having Auron cover them.
The rest is business as usual. He's completely vulnerable to Slow, and also vulnerable to Mental Break (90% resist, but his mdef is so high you need to inflict it.) Yuna is the damage dealer here because she can take him out before she runs out of MP. Since she isn't constantly dying this time we can even bring in Lulu to max out Makakaja. Just make sure Auron is always guarding when snakey boi gets a turn.
