How Do I Defeat Lightning & Amodar?

Question

The Lightning & Lieutenant Amodar fight is one of the first DLC for FF 13-2. I'm having trouble beating them. I've tried taking out Amodar first, Lightning first, and also turtling while they use their more powerful attacks.

Any proper strategies, paradigms, or monsters to use against them?

Answer

There are a number of strategies to use for them. I recommend maxing out all of your jobs and your three monsters having more then 2000 HP - one COM, RAV, and MED (Vodianoi level 17, Gremlin level 40, and Green Chocobo level 27. Accessories for Noel were 3 Power Wristbands and for Serah I used Hypnocrown, Durable and Delicate Magician's Mark. The paradigms I used were COM COM COM, RAV COM RAV*, RAV SAB RAV*, RAV COM MED*, SAB SAB MED*, and MED MED MED. The ones I've starred are the more critical ones I used. The all COM paradigm is nice to have if you cannot finish them before the stagger bar empties.

The fight can be broken up into three parts one is when lightning is alone and you just need to get her hp down to about 3/4 which isnt very hard. the second phase is when amodar joins the battle (com com) the two of them work more on party damage with amodars grenade or him simply attacking able to hit all if close enough. and lighting with ruinga. after about 2 mins in they change to either sab syn, sab med or com rav. when amodar is a sab he inflicts just about anything on the party members he hits so i recommend going after him first plus lightning is easier to take out alone because of his debuffs.

At the start of phase two i recommend either rav sab rav if you think your good enough or sab sab med to keep more hp. (note my chocobo did die often so have many phoenix downs and potions, possibly if you desire remedys) you can only inflict deprotect and deshell on lightning and imperil and poison on amodar however you really only need imperil. once you have that on amodar switch to either rav com rav or rav com med and stagger him. he does have alot of hp but if you either get it to 999.99 or about 1/3 of the way empty change to com com com and you should be ok this also works on lightning however amodar like to switch to sab and cast alot of debuffs on your party.

Now comes the third phase either lightning or amodar are alone and they cast a few buffs on themselves which cannot be dispelled. i recommend switching to rav sab rav and getting what i sujested before on them and switch to rav com rav and try to stagger them. before you can they usually get off about 2 feral links but lightnings is weaker and wont one hit your party members (except noel) with this party i recommend having atleast 20 phoenix downs to revive your monster and if sarah or noel dies.
