Final Fantasy X-2 Remaster - Boss: Angra Mainyu

Yup just like from before...you can guess why Paine is the Gunner. With the right timing, Cat Nip + Trigger Happy will work, just heal and repeat. Other battle methods, Dark Knights, Samurai, and Lady Luck.
Yuna: Level 59 - Treasure Hunter Garment Grid
Alchemist - Adamantite & Tetra Bracelet
Rikku: Level 61 - White Signet Garment Grid
Dark Knight - Defense Bracer & Kaiser Knuckles
Paine: Level 62 - Mounted Assault Garment Grid
Gunner - Cat Nip & Speed Bracer

If you want hastaga, you can use chocobo's feather. If you want reflect, you should use star curtain. Using items are faster than using magic because you have to wait for casting spell. It wastes your time, basically.

[@Eternallama1]

That became my favorite team setup for the rest of the game.

[@InsomniaVirus_]

This fight took me a while since I ignored leveling and sorta regretted it lmao If anyone’s having trouble, this is what worked for me: Having protect and reflect up at all times came in clutch for me so if you have a bunch of Star and light curtains like I did (or accessories that grant auto reflect and auto protect I forgot the names.). I also used 2 Maxed Dark Knights and one maxed Alchemist with the occasional shift to a psychic. The garment grid used was the abominable gg with psychic in the center, alchemist in the left, white mage on right and a filler on top (I used thief). I used the Star and light curtains right off the bat(**if you have auto protect and reflect, you may ignore this part**)and completed the grids cycles to activate Ribbon for everyone (since I had no ribbon and it’s my first play through of the game.). Along the way, I stopped at Psychic to use express which will massively boost my evasion which will allow us to dodge almost every single physical attack the boss throws. After I’ve done that, I settled into two dark knights and one alchemist. The dark knights will use Darkness (Darkness damage is determined by the strength stat so if you want to apply some accessories that boost that you should, but in order for this strat to work, you must have protect and reflect at all times) for big damage. The alchemist will constantly be spamming stashed mega potions. You can occasionally use some of your powerful mixes (the one that I used was white hole: Holy water+any gem). But stay on your toes to keep everyone healed. •The boss will attempt to use bio but your reflect will cause it to bounce back. He is immune so it won’t matter. •The bosses arms will attempt to cast -aga level magic. The reflect will cause them to bounce back for some damage against them. •The left arm will occasionally punch you. Since you’ve used express to boost evasion, you should rarely ever get hit. •The left arm will also use Bloody breath or something to inflict a multitude of status ailments. You will be protected because of the Garment grid granting you Ribbon. •The boss will attempt to use an attack (I forgot the name) that will inflict heavy MP damage. This will hardly ever matter since I never used spells. I ignored this. •The boss will periodically use Demi. If your alchemist is on top of its healing, this will hardly matter. •The boss will sometimes use its most damaging attack, Perditions Flame. If your team had protect they should live. Heal afterwards. *The boss will also use dispel. If you have auto protect and reflect. Ignore this. If you don’t, IMMEDIATELY re apply those because if you are caught without reflect… •The boss will at times cast Flare. If you have reflect, it will bounce back and hit. If you are caught without reflect this attack can easily kill one of your characters. And it would be a pain to get back on your feet. (I am not sure if this is a thing or not but I don’t think the boss will use flare if you have reflect on everyone. I could be wrong) •The boss will use Curaga often. Ignore and continue hitting it with all you’ve got
