It's time for Aerith to get revenge on Sephiroth once and for all, but unfortunately, she'll need help this time around. This is the one fight that I have to kinda bend the rules a bit. Under these circumstances, it is impossible to beat Bizarro Sephiroth with just Aerith, mainly due to the fact that Core Energy fully restores him after every single turn. It just wasn't going to happen. So we have to do things the hard way: Fight him with three separate parties - well, in this case, Aerith and two other characters. I chose both Tifa and Yuffie. Aerith's going to handle things in the center section, while Tifa takes on Bizarro's right side, and Yuffie deals with the left side; all will be solo. This is going to be a long battle, for sure - it almost took me 40 minutes to do this.


Center (Aerith): Equipping Aerith with a Reflect Ring goes a long way here because Bizarro loves using various Contain magic, including Freeze, Break, and Flare, all of which are reflected. Of course, this means we have to use Magic Counter + Renew for healing. Other than that, her main offense is Magic Breath and Pearl; the Right Magic absorbs ice, so we have to blast that part with Pearl instead, which it's weak to. The head, when it dies, will counter with Demi 3, which is also reflected. We do want to get up Star Curtain at first, then a Black Veil and finally a Vaccine before Stigma shows up on Turn 3; we don't need to be dealing with status effects on top of everything else we have to deal with. With her Mystile and Reflect Ring, Elemental + Ramuh equipped on armor, as well as Vaccine + Black Veil set up, Aerith is safe from pretty much all of Bizarro's attacks here. The only thing that can be scary is Aurora Fence hitting Aerith; this will remove her reflect status, meaning those Contain spells will start hitting and things can get dicey from there. Of course, we want to take out all of the parts except for the chest and core before switching over to Tifa.

Right Side (Tifa): The strategy here is similar to Aerith's strategy, only we'll be using Ultima. Tifa's got both Quad Magic and W-Magic to help with dealing damage. This side tends to lean more on status magic like Sleepel, Slow and Stop, so that's why we throw up a Vaccine early so we don't have to be dealing with that. Of course, she needs to watch out for Bizarro's other attacks, especially when her barriers run out (we can't replace them because of Vaccine). Ultima uses a lot of MP naturally, so every few turns we need to feed Tifa a Turbo Ether. Basically, we spam Ultima until the core's defenses drop, then we try to blast everything at once, including the core. Once the core goes down, we switch over to Yuffie.

Left Side (Yuffie): This side is a bit more dangerous because it can also use Contain spells, like the center, as well as some status magic like Stop and Slow. Again, we start off by tossing a Star Curtain and a Vaccine to protect Yuffie from the status effects. Her setup is somewhat similar to Tifa's, only instead of Quad Magic + W-Magic, Yuffie's got both Mime and MP Turbo linked to Ultima. We'll be using Ultima along with Mime to cut down on her Turbo Ether usage. We also should try to be careful when to use Mime because if Bizarro attacks and Yuffie counters with Cure 3, then it will be the Cure 3 that will be mimed instead of the Ultima, forcing us to manually cast Ultima again. Once barriers run out, we need to make sure we always keep Yuffie's HP high so she doesn't get sniped by a spell and get killed. Again, we blast him with Ultima whenever we can until the core's defenses drop and dies before switching back over to Aerith.

When the cores of both sides are dead, the core's defenses will drop for Aerith. At this point, we can just use either Magic Breath (if the head is alive) to one shot it or Pearl to damage Bizarro's Core or Chest. Again, Reflect Ring keeps Aerith safe from the Contain spells, she gets healed by Lightning, the Demi 3 counter gets reflected, and the physical will likely miss. We still don't want to see Aurora Fence though, but it rarely shows up at this point.
