Photon Wings is an attack that brings Lapis Laser to shame. It inflicts a shitload of bad statuses and there's absolutely no way to reduce the damage. It's one of two attacks in the game that are neither physical nor magical, so Shell, Protect, Defend, Power Break, Magic Break, Focus or Cheer will not work. It should come as no surprise that Auron is the only one who can survive it, but there's no way I can customize Sleep Ward and Confuse Ward, so we're in for a little problem.

There's one very simple solution. Simply gamble on Auron not getting Sleep or Confuse. There's a 50% chance he'll get Sleep and 25% chance he'll get Confuse. You have to go through three Photon Wings in order to win, so that's not exactly good odds. I decided to go for a safer solution and in order to do that, I had to learn Regen. I fought Mandragoras and they can drop both Sleep Ward and Confuse Ward, but I didn't get either for Auron.

Once Auron has Protect, Shell and Regen, he can safely be put to sleep or confused. You still have to gamble on the first turn, though. You also need to inflict Power Break and Magic Break, which is taken care of with Banishing Blade.

Attack patern:

1. Photon Wings
2. Attack
3. Attack
4. Mana Breath
5. Defensive spell
6. Defensive spell
7. Repeat

Put Reflect on him and the defensive spells are nothing to worry about. Mostly. He can use Reflect, which is then reflected onto one of the characters, and if he uses Esuna on that character before you have a chance to Dispel, he'll lose poison. Re-casting poison can then result in a Tail Sweep, which you may not be prepared for.

PS. The other attack is Mortibody's Desperado in the Natus battle.
