Spread Out Your During Battle
Cuchulainn employs a lot of AoE attacks that can decimate your team if they are sticking closely together. Spread out your Units around the area so that they'll be less of a target during said AoE attacks.
Immobilize Cuchulainn Using Leg Shot
Use Leg Shot from Mustadio's Machinist job to immobilize Cuchulainn and prevent him from moving around the area. He can still engage in battle using long-range attacks, but you'll lock him out from employing melee attacks.
Machinist Stats, Abilities, and Equipment
Use Holy Abilities to Exploit Cuchulainn's Weakness
Cuchulainn is weak against Holy abilities, so it is best that you spam Hallowed Bolt from Agrias' Holy Knight job to inflict substantial damage against Cuchulainn. Agrias will be your primary offensive Unit, while Ramza and the rest provide support and healing for your party.
Holy Knight Stats, Abilities, and Equipment
Employ Black Mages to Use High Level Spells
You can also try using -ga spells (Firaga, Blizzaga, or Thundaga) from Black Mage Units to inflict a lot of damage against Cuchulainn, which can provide an alternative for Agrias' Hallwed Bolt should she be incapacitated during battle.
