Use Thunder Magic to Exploit Shirdal's Weakness

Equip a Lightning Materia and use Thunder spells to exploit Shirdal's weakness.

How to Get the Lightning Materia

FF7 Rebirth - Use Focused Thrust When Enemy Casts Off Wind Protection

How to Pressure Shirdal
They will eventually cast off their protective wind shrouds to send them hurtling around the battlefield. At this point, they will become pressured.

Shirdal will occasionally cast off their protective wind which will automatically pressure them. Use Cloud's Focused Thrust when they are pressured to increase their stagger meter.

Use Cloud's Infinity's End once the Shirdal is staggered. This will deal massive damage despite its slow wind up and will help on defeating the Shirdal quickly.
