Single Crystarium, No Accessory Upgrades, No Ultimate Weapons challenge.

Snow - Power Circle - Accessory: Doesn't Matter

Everyone uses the Sentinel and defend way so I thought I'd be different, just spam Blizzard but make sure to use it when Nix isn't attacking, make sure it's Blizzard and not Frostrike though! Blizzard works better.

For the Sentinel method you need to time Steelguard so you use it just as Styria is about to attack, 1 or 2 steelguards are enough depending on what attack she uses, if she just hits twice then cancel the 2nd steelguard.

With either strategy it's easy to beat them.

Why take this challenge?

It's very challenging and doesn't require much grinding/farming, in fact gil farming isn't required, I never did it at all and only did a bit of CP grinding when I got to chapter 11.

Recomended Roles:

To clarify on single crystarium - This means you can only level 1 type of role, recommended roles are as follows:
Lightning - Com (Highly recommended)
Snow - Sen (100% must have)
Sazh - Syn (Could be changed - It isn't a must have but Haste is great until/if Hope learns at chapter 12 it if you take him the Syn route)
Hope - Syn (Highly recomended but may be able to be changed only for med)
Vanille - Sab (100% needed)
Fang - Com (Highly recommended)

Really Sazh or Hope are the only ones you may want to change (1 of them definately needs to be Syn though), the others are highly recommended though, Vanille needs Sab no matter what and same goes to Snow's Sen.

For those not sure about Sazh's and Hope's Syn's then Sazh gets Haste, Bravery and Faith early and he also gets En-spells (Enfire, Enblizzard, etc.) which are unique to him, Hope gets Protect and Shell early and Bar-spells (Barfire, Barthunder, etc.) are unique to him, each character learns the none unique spells come chapter 12.
