It's finally time to defeat Seymour once and for all!
To do this however, we need a bit of prep work. First of all, we have a triple Eater armor, but nothing to protect against Thunder yet. I beat up the Black Element until it dropped a Lightningproof armor.
We then add +600 HP from the grid and add HP+5% to the armor we got from Stratoavis. with that, we're ready for the boss fight.

I start the fight using Jinx to increase our crit rate and swapping to the Fire Eater armor. This will lower our speed due to missing Haste, but it's fine. Once Seymour mentions the "Rest in peace. In Eternal Darkness", we swap to the HP+65% armor and heal to full in order to tank the incoming Ultima. You're probably thinking, why don't you cast Mighty Guard right after the Dispel? It's simple, Seymour's Ultima is special. While it has a lower base damage than regular Ultima, it pierces Shell so there's no way for Kimahri to reduce the damage other than increasing Mag. Def. So, with HP+65% we take the Ultima, switch back to the triple Eater armor and start attacking. Seymour's defense is through the roof (only down to 100 once Ultima is cast) so the Spirit Lance is the way to go. This is also why we need to heal before attacking, otherwise the damage output is very bad. It's also why SOS-armors wouldn't really work. I mean, in theory, sure, but then your damage is bad since you can't even use the Bomb-dropped weapon because of Firestrike. Once we reach the Thunder phase, it's time to swap to the Lightningproof armor. Basically, you rinse and repeat until Seymour falls. Not a super hard fight, but it requires some preparation.

In this challenge I am only allowed to use Kimahri during the game. The other party members will either have to KO themselves or try to run away as soon as possible. When Kimahri is not available in the party, the party must follow NSGNSNENNE rules (No Sphere Grid + No Summons + No Escape + No [No Encounters]). While I am allowing Customizing (the challenge would not be possible otherwise), I am placing certain 'limits' on myself. For example, I won't Customize First Strike or Evade & Counter unless it's absolutely mandatory to get through the fight(s). Combined with the No Escape rules, that should make for an interesting run!
