Before starting, I will consider you've beaten all other challenges in Combat Simulator. I will use Cloud and for strength build, Aerith for magic build and Tifa for dodging, staggering and magic. If you need strategy and help with previous fights, check out my other video:

0:01 - Preparation & Setup

Cloud:
I went with strength build, including Gotterdammerung, which actually works in this fight - it will give you half of Cloud's Limit Break at the start.
Bring Lightning materia, Combine Time with Magnify, bring First Strike materia, HP and MP Up (remember - you can raise your MP up to 100%)

Tifa:
For Tifa, Parry is a must, you will use her to dodge. Bring Lighting and HP/MP Up Materias as well. I used her and Cloud to heal if needed.

Aerith:
Make out of her the best Magic Build you can. You also need Lightning materia, I paired one with MP Absorb to recover some MP when attacking with magic. Barrier and some Stagger materia can also help. I also gave her 2 Magic Up materia's - those will boost her magic.

1:38 - To unlock this fight simply beat 2 extra chapters with Yuffie and repeat chapter 17 with Cloud and the crew. You can now enter this optional fight with Weiss, I would say the hardest one so far.

2:21 - Weiss Phase 1

Strategy:
Your focus here should be casting Haste with Cloud, putting Barrier on Tifa, and dodging with Tifa while countering when you see the "Pressured" state on Weiss. It happens when you dodge his unblockable attacks. In this phase I waited for Cloud to fill his Limit, used Tifa's Focused Strike to raise the stagger bar, but also using her Unbridled Strength to get Rise and Fall, which you want to use when you stagger him. Aim to boost this just before his is in that state.

With both ATB bars filled, stagger him and use Tifa's staggering attacks while combining with 2 Aerith Lightning Spells, Limit with Cloud, and casting Haste with him afterwards. Second phase is magic phase.

5:18 - Wiess Phase 2

Strategy:
Now you need to use magic to stagger him, but first cast Arcane Ward with Aerith which grants you 2 magic casts if you cast the magic when inside of it. This is what you must do all the time - You need to try and use that field as much as you can, and when you cast magic, switch to other character to boost ATB, lure, change to other character, do the same, and keep repeating. The idea is to pressure him with magic while boosting ATB bars with others. It takes some practice, but eventually you will stagger him again and then he is done for. If you enter the 3rd phase, you will need Manawall to survive and this video will not try that tactic. Good luck, you will need it.
