How to Pressure Stormwing

Equip the Wind Materia to Cast Aero Spells

Stormwings are weak to Wind spells so it's best to prepare by equipping the Wind Materia and casting Aero spells to easily pressure and stagger them.

How to Get the Wind Materia

Choose Dynamic Difficulty if Your Level is Way Higher than the Fiend Intel

If you are trying to pressure the enemy and your level is way too high, there is a chance that you'll defeat the enemy even before pressuring them. To solve this, switch to Dynamic difficulty as the enemies' level will scale with you, providing a challenge and an opportunity to complete the Fiend Intel's mission

Dynamic Difficulty and Difficulty Settings

Retry if You Fail an Objective

If you fail an objective such as pressuring the enemy, you can always retry the Fiend Intel by holding the Triangle button.
