Whats your favorite strategy for fighting ultimecia?

What i like to do is before i enter the battle i refine my bahamut card into 100 megalixir's, put item command on rinoa, put item command on zell, and also make sure your stocked with 100 aura's on each char, once i enter the battle i kill everyone off until i have my party of squall rinoa and zell, cast aura on squall and zell so they get their limits quickly then keep using their limits and make sure squall has the lionhart so that he can use that sometimes and hopefully enough to kill her, repeat this using megalixirs whenever anyone in your party becomes wounded. ^_^

i use this strategy on all the forms and i havent lost yet :P

note: this strategy works well for fighting omega weapon too, but may i suggest that you have hero drinks in your inventory if you decide to use this strategy against omega

Cast Doomtrain and Cerebrus, triple cast Aura, and spam limit breaks. It's Holy Wars that you want instead of Hero Drinks, since they affect your entire party. Omega can easily be killed without them though.

yeshhhh exactly =]
i killed omega without hero drinks or holy wars
i was just suggesting to use em to make the battle a little bit easier =]

[Bolivar]

first time i beat it, i killed off everyone except squall, zell, and irvine, spammed limit breaks while making sure protect, shell, and aura were always on.

Now I just go with the flow of battle with whoever's in my party, so if you get screwed out of reviving a character it's not that big of a deal. I just aura one of the 3 above and use the others for support, making sure we're always at optimum. And I did use holy war, although it really wasn't necessary.

[Corrugo]

Anytime I actually reached the 4th Disc (A lot of the time I'd get bored of the game after getting all the GFs, Ultimate Weapons, Cards, Leveling up) I was strong as heck and just unleased LionHearts, Ultimas, Holys, maybe used a few Holy Wars. I never had much trouble with that battle.

[Big D]

First move: Cast Triple on someone.

Second move: That character casts Triple on everyone

Third: Aura on everyone

Fourth: Holy War

Fifth: Limit Breaks! for great justice.

Repeat steps as necessary for a methodical and predictable win.
