Focus on raising HP and skills to make Sonon more tanky

Increasing maximum HP by the full amount, and unlocking Incendiary Limit Breaks allows Sonon to make the most of this weapon by using Incite to draw enemies' attention off of Yuffie and to him instead. In addition, Synergized Limit, and the skills that raise defensive stats should be unlocked as well.

Some of this information is incorrect. The "fully upgraded" stats don't seem to include the bonuses from Sub-Core IV. Fully upgraded, Attack is 105, Magic is 89, Max HP is 775, and MP is 26. I checked this in my own game, and the math on this page also supports those numbers.
