Walkthrough

• Time to fight the massive Airbuster and you have a total of 21 minutes, 30 seconds to finish the fight before the Reactor explodes, killing everyone.
• This fight can vary wildly sometimes with the amounts that people can remove things from the Air Buster.
• First, building ATB for Cloud and Barret (at least 2 for both).
• If possible, get Barrier going on all the characters you can to reduce damage.
• Additionally have Barret use Steelskin to further augment his defenses.
• Watch the health of the whole party throughout the fight.
• The Airbuster can do heavy damage with its BB attack as well as its Stun Beam.
• Throughout the whole fight, watch for the small detonators it drops, these do burst lightning damage and stun those in range.
• Be careful with Cloud and Tifa since the Airbuster wqill electrify its base and does an attack to knock those close by far back.
• It can use its arms to create a barrier in front of it along the walkway, making it impossible for a melee character to approach.
• Barret is the best option to attack during this time, using his ranged attack or anyone in the party with Lightning magic.
• Summon attacks and Limit Breaks can also reach the main body of the Airbuster.
• While the arms are out and generating this field, use targeted spells or ranged attacks on one are to bring its health down.
• This will break the barrier, allowing the party to resume melee engagement.
• Watch out since the arms will now start moving around, going to the far sides of the remaining portions of the catwalk not covered by Airbuster.
• Use your melee while you can because getting Airbuster to 50% health will change the fight fundamentally.
• Airbuster will take to the skies at this point.
• Barret is the best attacker now, with Tifa and Cloud limited to their items and Spells.
• Switch to Barret and start unloading with Overcharge and his basic attack.
• As much as possible, use Barret's abilities to keep a high damage trend on Airbuster.
• Try to use Focused Shot to build the Stagger Gauge to hopefully draw the Airbuster closer so everyone can attack it.
• Watch out for its new basic attack, sending out waves of blue electricity.
• Getting hit will do some damage, but also momentarily stun those hit by it.
• Eventually, the Airbuster will come closer, allowing both Cloud and Tifa to join back into the fight.
• Quickly use their Abilities to bolster their damage against this target, you are on the clock.
• Watch out for the Big Bomber attack, which Barret, or another party member, can dodge by going to the far side of either part of the surviving catwalk.
• While the Airbuster is nearby, watch out for its arms going forward with its hands open.
• Very likely it will unleash a gout of Flame from its palms.
• If it puts its arms forward crossed, start dodging as it will shortly be using a laser blast from its knuckles.
• Watch for the Airbuster being in the center area of the catwalk, since it can still use the Tankbuster attack.
• It can also start simply pummeling those nearby.
• As it is moving back, be on guard for it to unleash a barrage of missiles.
• If you manage to stagger the Airbuster, be on guard for it to get stunned wherever it is.
• If it is staggered while hovering far away, it will stay far away.
• Careful engagement and health monitoring will get the team through.
