Quick little video on beating Bandersnatch and Jabberwocky. This isn't really a hard fight, but I figured it had enough strategy involved to warrant a video.

Weapon: Save the Power Circle ★
Accessories: Wurtzite Bangle ★, Kaiser Knuckles ★, Genji Glove

I used a Trainer to hack in Gil and CP to minimize grinding. Hope and Sazh are at Stage 7 Crystarium (Primary) and have their Paper Tiger Weapons equipped. I also taught them Provoke so that they KO as soon as possible.

-- Strategy --

All we really need to do in this fight is Stagger. But, both enemies are susceptible to the same status ailments, or at least, of the ones that Snow knows.

So, all we need is a Commando, and preferably 2 Ravagers and 2 Saboteurs. I had a Medic Paradigm in there too, but I neither needed nor used it.

Start in whatever Paradigm (it doesn't matter) and use a Librascope. Or don't. It doesn't much matter if you want to do it as efficiently as possible, but I don't mind relying on Auto-battle for RAV and SAB (after applying the debuffs that matter most).

You need to apply Curse to Jabberwocky (the big one) to ensure that you aren't interrupted. This is actually the only debuff you need to apply in the entire fight. Bandersnatch can't really interrupt you if you have Vigilance, but I debuffed him too because SAB abilities can stabilize the Chain. For a faster run, though, you should probably kill Jabberwocky first. But again, the fight is so easy that I didn't bother with maximum efficiency.

Once you've stuck Curse, just use RAV to build the Chain, and SAB or COM to stabilize it if necessary, and then switch to COM and use Sovereign Fist. If you have a Genji Glove, it should kill both of them in one hit right after Stagger. If you don't have a Genji Glove, it might take about 2 for Bandersnatch and 3 or 4 for Jabberwocky, so you'll really need to Stagger like the wind (or just abuse Launch, if you can). Just to note, though: I once tried Sovereign Fist with the Genji Glove but without the Kaiser Knuckles, and Jabberwocky still had a small fraction of HP left, so you might need at least 2,400 Strength (I think?) to one-shot, but additionally, HP can be reduced further during chain building, especially if you use COM as the stabilizer. If you have Bravera, it shouldn't be a problem, I imagine, especially if combined with Adrenaline. Speaking of which, if you decide to target Jabberwocky first, make sure you use Fog on Bandersnatch so that they can't heal each other.

As for other debuffs, Slow is always useful, but I didn't prioritize it since Snow has so much HP that I didn't even need to heal, plus Vigilance and Curse. Fog is useful in that it stops them from healing, and it also stops them from using their breath attack, which does about twice the damage that their physical attack does (for Jabberwocky, at least). Based on the animation, it looks like it also probably hits your whole party if they're standing close to each other. Again, only Curse is required on Jabberwocky for this setup if you're going for efficiency to get the fastest time.

Thank you for watching!
