Trance Kuja casts Curaga to replenish his HP and Reflect on himself in addition to Flare and Holy. He periodically casts Flare Star against the party and also as a counter when his HP becomes low.
Upon defeat, Trance Kuja will cast Ultima on the party, who are sent to the Hill of Despair, where Necron is fought.
For defense, it is best to use Shell to protect party members against Trance Kuja's magic, although this will not lower the damage done by Flare Star. The support abilities, such as Auto-Regen, Auto-Haste, and Auto-Life, will provide extra defense although they are not necessary.
It is best to equip the abilities Bird Killer and MP Attack to heighten damage output when using normal physical attacks. If leveled up correctly, Zidane'sThievery skill, Freya'sDragon's Crest, and Quina'sFrog Drop can all inflict maximum damage against Trance Kuja. Additionally, Steiner'sShock ability can deal an extreme amount of damage in a short period of time. Vivi should cast Flare, or if the player has Shadow protection on all party members, Doomsday, while Eiko and Garnet should concentrate on healing the party with Curaga and occasionally summoneidolons. Amarant should equip his Kaiser Knuckles as they provide extra damage with their Wind element or throwWing Edges. He can also support the party by using his ability Aura to cast Regen and Auto-Life upon members.
The player should refrain from attacking too often when Trance Kuja's HP starts to run low as he counter attacks more frequently with Flare Star, which could spell disaster for the party if done twice in a row.
