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:
Tidus: (Strength +3%, One MP Cost) + (Defense +10%, Berserk Ward, HP +30%)
Lulu: (One MP Cost, Magic Booster, Magic +20%, Magic +10%) + (Ice Eater, Fire Eater, Water Eater)
Yuna: (One MP Cost, Magic Booster, Magic +20%, Magic +10%) + (HP +30%)
Auron: (Piercing, Strength +10%, Sensor) + (SOS Regen)
Wakka: (Stonetouch, Stonestrike, First Strike) + (HP +10%, SOS Regen)
Another long fight, but this one is easy. The fins only attack once you hit them a certain number of times, so you have as much setup time as you need. The left fin attacks every 7 hits. The right one attacks every 5, and finally it goes down to every 3 once its HP is below 16250. Yuna and someone else can be set up to survive this with Protect + Defend, while Lulu takes the hit with Auto-Life. Holy is the preferred method of attack because double Flare adds 2 to the hit counter. You should get Lulu out of the front line and bring in someone with First Strike at the end of the second fight. Equip Lulu, Yuna and Auron with SOS Reflect armours.
Genais is, laughably, vulnerable to Demi. With this setup double Demi immediately sends him back into his shell, and Holy finishes him off most of the time (or Auron can if not.) The core just spams Gravija and counters with elemental magic, but SOS Reflect takes care of the latter and the former is no threat on its own. It will occasionally negate buffs but you can just reapply Mental Break if so.
