Do yourself a favor and fight this battle overlevelled. Seriously. The drop kinda sucks anyways and the only thing behind it is a lv2400 boss.
The basic idea of this fight is that, if you damage the sword directly while both arms are alive, it will use a powerful dual-elemental counterattack that hits the whole frontline that will likely oneshot your attackers, but it becomes weaker if only one arm is alive, and only hits one target if both arms are dead, so you need to kill the arms before bringing the hurt on the sword (though even the weakest normal attack counter still hits really hard, so make sure your attackers are capable of surviving the move with either raw bulk or Akyuu support). However, whenever the sword detects that it has been disarmed (whether one or both), it will revive them - immediately at first, but every time afterwards it will delay the revival by one (more) turn. So you need to kill the arms a few times to build up the delay long enough for you to kill the sword. This already makes the fight a huge marathon to go through as you have to waste a lot of time dealing with the arms before you can go for the sword directly, but then the sword can randomly use Black Universe and Space Time Warp (it doesn't seem to use Black Universe frequently, at least), and the Right Arm will spam Greatsword of Calamity at your slot 1 tank, so you can't just sit there and make it a battle of attrition either, unless your characters are strong enough to kill Right Arm in two turns (and since it gets revived at like 9000+ ATB sometimes it's more like one turn). So it's a huge marathon fight that forces you to go in damage race mode, and then sometimes when you're almost about to win it just goes "fuck you" and space time warps your main attacker into a Greatsword of Calamity or Black Universes your tank into an MT attack. Not fun at all.
(There's an abrupt cutoff at around 9 minutes mark in the video because I was interrupted and had to leave for several minutes. On any other fights I'd have just do a fresh take, but screw doing this fight a second time)
