This is a more defensive Barret build that revolves around constantly spamming Cura and Reraise to stay alive when enemies aren't using Fire attacks to heal him with Elemental-Fire.
Try not to use Curaga and only use Cura when needed so that you can conserve MP for Reraise and offensive spells since you'll be reliant on MP Absorption-Fire and Ice spells alongside Trade-Off to restore your MP.
Do note that with this build, the first few rounds will be slightly more difficult, but it makes up for it by making the last three rounds much more manageable.
How to Beat All Rounds
Round 1
| Jump to Round | |||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | |||||
| Enemies | ・Thug x6 | ||||||||
Open the fight with a Limit Break to deal massive damage spread between all 6 Thugs. From there, slowly pick them off one by one by spamming Overcharges and Maximum Furies. You can also use Fire spells, but make sure you don't use too much of your MP.
Also, be careful of the melee Thugs that use Slice and Dice since this is the highest damage move this round.
Round 2
| Jump to Round | |||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | |||||
| Enemies | ・Modded Sweeper | ||||||||
Prioritize destroying the Modded Sweeper's Arms first with Limit Breaks and Maximum Furies to minimize its damage output. You can also use Point Blank if it gets close, but don't rely on this move because the robot likes to move around a lot, making the attack miss.
Play this fight slowly and safely by blocking and healing when necessary. As soon as it gets staggered, run in and use Point Blank to deal massive damage.
Stay Away during Emergency Defense Mode
When it gets low enough, it will use Emergency Defense Mode, letting loose a barrage of missiles. Run away as far as possible, and as soon as you see the missiles, hold block to survive its final attack before blowing up.
Round 3
| Jump to Round | |||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | |||||
| Enemies | ・Gigant Bomb | ||||||||
This fight is made trivial since most of the Gigant Bomb's attacks heal Barret thanks to Elemental-Fire equipped on his armor. Just make sure that you're blocking its melee attack since you won't be able to out-heal the damage without casting Cure spells.
Stay Away during Massive Explosion
Similar to the Modded Sweeper from the last round, Gigant Bomb will use Massive Explosion when it gets low on HP. Make sure to run as far away from it as possible to avoid the damage radius.
Round 4
| Jump to Round | |||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | |||||
| Enemies | ・Moss-Grown Adamantoise | ||||||||
Start by using Turbulent Spirit, followed by Fira on the Adamantoise to pressure it and cast Reraise on Barret for safety. Once pressured, get Bonus Round active as soon as possible and use two Focus Shots to stagger it or a single Fira if it's no longer pressured. Once staggered, get close and unleash a Point Blank followed by a Limit Break if it's available.
Repeat Process to Constantly Pressure and Stagger It
When it gets back up, repeat the process of casting Fira to pressure, followed by Bonus Rounds and Focus Shots to stagger. The goal is to create a constant pressure into stagger loop, with the help of the Skill Master Materia, to minimize the amount of homing attacks it unleashes.
Make sure that you're also paying attention to Barret's health, and only cast Cura if you know you won't be able to immediately cast Reraise again when Barret gets back up after going down.
Summon Phoenix for More Fire and Reraise
As a note, you can also summon Phoenix this fight for extra Fire damage and Reraises if you're running low on MP, but it's recommended to prioritize maintaining the pressure and stagger loop before the Adamantoise gets out of control.
Round 5
| Jump to Round | |||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | |||||
| Enemies | ・Hell Rider II | ||||||||
This round should be a bit easier than the last one because Hell Rider II's flame breath attack heals Barret thanks to the Elemental-Fire equipped on his armor.
Block Infernal Cannon
When it uses Gravity Well it will turn yellow and it can use strong attacks like Infernal Cannon which can stun Barret. Make sure to block this attack to avoid the stun.
Use Point Black If It Has Reflect
If Hell Rider II has Reflect active, just spam Point Blank to deal as much damage as possible. However, if it doesn't, use Blizzara to pressure it followed up by Bonus Rounds and Focus Shots to stagger it. Once downed, let loose a powerful Blizzaga before you can't cast spells on it anymore due to Reflect being reactivated.
Prioritize Casting Cura and Reraise
Remember to prioritize casting Cura and Reraise when needed so that you don't accidentally die to the boss, forcing you to start from Round 1 again.
