Susanoo Movesets

Baleful Bellow Damages and inflicts Dread to the whole party.
Soul Prison Inflicts Doom to all targets.
Loathesome Lunge Damages a target and inflicts Dread.
Thanatophobia Instantly kills a target with Dread.

Susanoo Strategy

Equip Doom and Instant Death Resist Gear

The Safety Ring which can be purchased in Rimedhal is a great accessory to equip against Susanoo. It will negate Doom and Instant Death which Susanoo's biggest threats.

Thanatophobia is an Instant Death Move

Thanatophobia will instantly kill a target that gets inflicted with Dread. Since it's an instant death move, it will also be countered by Safety Ring.

There's no need to cure Dread unless you want to Brave against Susanoo.

Use Reraise if you don't have Death Resist Gear

Reraise
Reraise is a great counter against Susanoo's Baleful Bellow and other instant death moves. Having a maxed out White Mage can allow you to use Reraise on all party members instantly.

Healing magic works against Susanoo

Since Susanoo is an undead, you can use the Red Mage's Healaga against him to quickly burst him down.
