How to Beat Genesis Avatar and Materia
Avatar and Materia Share HP
The Genesis Avatar and Materia attached to the sword share the same HP bar, so you don't have to worry about who you should attack first.
Attack the Sword Stuck on the Ground
You can't use melee attacks against the Genesis Avatar himself. You can only use them when the Materia Sword is stuck on the ground. Use a combination of Battle Stance and Command materia to deal as much damage as possible.
Use Ranged Magic on the Avatar
As previously mentioned, you cannot use Melee attacks on the Genesis Avatar. Use Magic Materia such as Firaga, Blizzaga, or Thundaga to deal considerable damage from a distance!
Use Darkness on the G Shadows
The boss battle periodically spawns G Shadow mobs. Use Darkness to take them out all at once thanks to the materia's AoE capability.
Block Shadow Flare and Flare
The Shadow Flare and Flare attacks are very difficult to dodge. You can choose to block them or use materia such as MBarrier or Wall to reduce damage taken.
How to Beat Genesis (Second Encounter)
Use Battle Stance to Increase Abilities
Most of Genesis' attacks are difficult to evade. You can use the Battle Stance and guard to transition to a powerful Command Ability.
Back Attack After Dancing Sword
After Genesis uses Dancing Sword, he most likely will turn his back for a short while. Defend yourself from Dancing Sword to be able to attack back when Genesis' back is turned!
Use Wall to Reduce Damage
Genesis' attacks are powerful and overall tough to avoid, you can use the Wall materia to reduce damage taken as Genesis excels in both Physical and Magical attacks.
