Use Aerith's Arcane Ward, which can be obtained after mastering it from Guard Stick, to cast Fire spells twice. With the ATB materias equipped, it can be possible to do a double cast of Firaga to deal tons of damage.

Don't worry about ward placement since all of Jabberwock's attacks are blockable, eliminating the need to reposition.

Cloud is going to take a step back here and be your support. His main job is to buff Aerith and Tifa, heal the party, and remove any crowd control.

To contribute more damage, the Elemental + Fire materia will allow his basic attacks to be imbued with Jabberwock's weakness

Jabberwock Tips and Strategies

Biological Intel: Stony Stare Tips
CheckmarkUse Fire when Gorgon Shield is up
CheckmarkUtilize Tifa's Abilities when its Staggered
CheckmarkUse Esuna to Remove Petrification
CheckmarkKeep distance when it's using Raze

Use Fire When Gorgon Shield Is Up

You can only Pressure Jabberwock by using Fire when its Gorgon Shield is up. Have Aerith be prepared for this; to make it more effective, have Arcane Ward ready and, when the time is right, double-cast the spell for more damage.

Utilize Tifa’s Abilities When Jabberwock Staggered

When it's Staggered, use Tifa's abilities to massively deal damage. When it's available, use her Limit Break to further increase damage while Jabberwock is down.

Use Esuna to Remove Petrification

Jabberwock can Petrify your team. Have Cloud ready with Esuna to remove this status. Since your main DPS will be Aerith, it's also recommended to equip her with a Safety Bit to negate Petrify.

Keep Distance When Jabberwock Uses Raze

When it's health is low, Jabberwock's Seismic Waves will turn into Raze, which can deal tons of damage. It's best to stay away from it when it uses this move.
