YES I finally did it!!! It was a Christmas miracle (I did this Christmas night). I seriously think my cousin (xwhoaitstrin) is good luck...after almost 30 attempts during the past couple months, the second time I try it while she's visiting, I'm successful. She's magic I tell you...

Ahh geez...BFA's second form is such a nightmare. The reason for buffing up Kimahri as well as Auron is because if Triumphant Grasp hits Auron, you will be in serious trouble without a backup tank. Though you should always try to switch out Auron before BFA can use Triumphant Grasp, you don't always have a chance to. However, it should be noted that on top of Kimahri not being as reliable a tank as Auron (he can't survive without defending on top of all the buffs), due to a glitch of sorts, he won't always be able to revive both ko'd characters, which could lead to a lot of problems. According to my theory, this glitch involves the fact that a character cannot revive two ko'd characters if they are both a higher rank than them, and will instead only revive the lower ranking character. The rankings, from highest to lowest, go like this: Tidus, Yuna, Auron, Kimahri, Wakka, Lulu, and Rikku. Usually, your three main characters are Yuna, Auron, and Rikku. If Auron is ko'd, often times, the only character who will get a turn before BFA's next turn is Rikku, so you'll have to switch her out for Kimahri in order to survive a sword swipe. However, since both Yuna and Auron are a higher rank than Kimahri, Kimahri will only be able to revive Auron, which again, could be very problematic. As with most of the fight against BFA's second form, you just have to hope and get very lucky...

----------

NSG = No Sphere Grid
-Never activate any node on your Sphere Grid.

NS = No Summoning
-Never use Yuna's "Summon" command to summon an Aeon.
-There are two exceptions to this rule.
--During the third forced fight in Besaid against Garuda, Yuna is forced to summon Valefor.
--At the exit of Via Purifico, Yuna is forced to summon Aeons against Issaru.
-Those are the only two exceptions. You may never summon an Aeon any other time, not even against Belgamine. You may, however, accept her challenge and simply escape in order to get the items she gives you.

NO = No Overdrives
-Never use an overdrive.
-There are two exceptions to this rule.
--In the first "boss" fight in Zanarkand against Sinspawn Ammes, Auron is forced to use his Overdrive "Dragon Fang."
--After the scene at the Moonflow where you get Rikku back, she is forced to use her overdrive "Mix" against a Bunyip.
-Those are the only two exceptions. In Kilika, when Kimahri is forced to Lancet the Ragora, filling up his Overdrive, you may not use his Overdrive afterwards.
