How to Defeat Ultima
EnlargePoints to Consider
- A party of Lv.50 and above is recommended
- Ultima's normal attacks can cause Sap
- She uses a Holyja(which casts Reverse)-Renew(heavy damage leaves 1HP) combo
- She's susceptible to Dark-element attacks
- Dark-element espers are also strong against her
In-Depth Battle Walkthrough
This is a battle where the esper is at least Lv.60 and above, so a party of characters at above level 50 would have a fighting chance against her. Ultima was the one who led the espers into battle, and this conflict to summon her is a clear indicator as to why she was designated the leader of these espers.
Ultima has a lot of buffs which could deal maximum damage to a careless player. Her attacks can drain HP through a Sap-like move; she can cast a field which can Slow opponents. Her signature attack, Holyja, can open a world of pain for enemies in that it inflicts Reverse on the party. Once that's done, she casts Renew using her Magic CT0 augment, and it's almost an instant death to the party.
One way to deal with this is to stock up with Holy-element items. The Sage's Ring is one such item; also, Darkra and Dark-element weapons and spells are strong against her. If you wish to enlist the help of an esper, Dark-element espers like Zeromus stands a very good chance against her. By making a Bubbled Zeromus the focus of her attacks and using the espers strongest attacks against her, you'll count Ultima among your own summons in a very short while.

Ultima - Benefits of Use
Redemption and Eschaton are Ultima's unique attacks and are efficient tools in your arsenal when she is summoned, but best of all, Ultima provides your party with the best there is, if not one of the best, when it comes to offensive Holy-element attacks. Ultima can also cast Renew, a spell which, when not used offensively (as in Reverse), fully restores HP to the whole party regardless of how much HP a character has left.
