Yunalesca 3 does not drop any equipments.
| Aeons | Overdrives ready. |
|---|---|
| Armor | Confuse Proof Armor |
| Physical Counter Attacks | Damages the attacking character and inflicts dispel. |
|---|---|
| Absorb | Drains half of the target's max HP. |
| Counter Attacks (Phase 1) | Blind against physical attackers, Sleep against special abilities, and Silence against magic attacks. |
| Hellbiter (Phase 2) | Deals small damage to all party members and inflicts zombie. |
| White Magics | Curaga, Regen |
| Mega Death (Phase 3) |
Inflicts Death to all party members. |
| Mindblast (Phase 3) |
Inflicts confuse to all party members. |
Once Yunalesca starts using a move, she'll also use that move on her later phases. (for example, she starts using Hellbiter on Phase 2 but will still use it during phase 3)
Yunalesca's only lethal attack at this phase is drain which deals 50% of the targets Max HP. Equip Blindproof equipments for your attackers and silence proof for magic users. Try to end the battle with everyone's HP at max because it will be harder to heal later on.
Do not use zombieproof equipments as it is necessary to avoid her Mega-Death in her third phase (Death does not work against units with zombie). She will start using Regen on your units so ready Yuna to dispel it.
Keep damaging Yunalesca while having Yuna dispel the Regens and resurrecting fallen allies. Also bait out Hellbiter then swap those who are inflicted with zombie to the backline for the third phase of the fight. When resurrecting an ally, immediately restore the fallen allies' HP to maximum either by using healing spells or restorative items. Once all allies are afflicted with zombie, defeat her to move on to Phase 3.
Equip confuse proof equipments as confuse is the only way you can lose this battle now. Let your characters die and just raise them again. And make sure that there is atleast one unit that has zombie on the battlefield at all times to avoid an accidental team wipe from Mega Death.
Keep on damaging Yunalesca while keeping your allies alive and with Zombie status. Once Yunalesca's HP falls low, use all conserved overdrives to burst her down.
