LLNIIENA Party vs. Diamond Gear Mk.2 (An ETT Production)

This poor little guy has been around for more than three years without anyone attempting to defeat him, so I figured it was about time. What we have here is basically a tougher version of Diamond Weapon with a shitload of MDef and the rules specified you had to fight him with a low level party. Piercing attacks and the Conformer are banned, so I figured an LLNIIENA party would be a good match.

Since there are limited ways of dealing damage, I had to pull out my new favorite Enemy Skill: ????. However, it's physical, and this guy is immune to physical attacks except during his Countdown phase. To trigger the Countdown phase, you need to use two limit breaks the first time. Then you get three turns where you can attack physically. Meanwhile, you also need to stay alive. You need at least 2000 HP to survive the fire ball, so I had to stack my character with some HP Pluses. Cloud only got room for one, though, and with his amount of HP, he's not guaranteed to survive, so I had to use one Dragon Force.

At the end of the Countdown, he uses Diamond Flash, an attack that reduces your HP to 1/8 and inflicts Silence. Cait and Cid got Added Effect=Seal, so that's nothing to worry about. After Diamond Flash, you have to use two more limit breaks to trigger another countdown, but some times it's three. I'm not sure exactly how it works. Magic Hammers will miss, so Mog Dance is necessary at least once. It wasn't necessary when I accidentally got that combo near the end of the battle.

Not much else to say. A good battle, but it does drag on, so his usual 30K HP would have been enough here. His Auto-Haste prevents the battle from ending properly, so it glitches after you defeat him. So that's how that is.
