Was pretty easy. Just waited out my 2nd round of SS2 and Boon until after he used dispel. No S/Ls needed.

Pushed dmg before Maduin's dispel b/c I had sb's to use, and it turns out that he'll use the scripted chaos wave before using dispel. Made it super easy to get buffs back up before he could do anything else.
Finally downed him after switching to a wall roaming warrior.
So I'm actually debating taking on the last 2 fights; normally I stop after getting whatever MCII because my crew's not up to snuff.
Tried inferno for kicks. Didn't get fully wrecked, but could probably use a better set up.
Any tips? Go to crew is basically:
Cloud (70)
P.Cecil (70)
Terra (65)
Vanille (65)
Free slot (top characters are Hope w/Brutal Sanction, Zell with Maverick, and uh..level 50 Celes who can be egged higher).
VI is probably my strongest synergy realm in terms of armor; Gaia Gear, Crystal Armor, Helm. For weapons I've got Enhancer, Assassin's Dagger, and Maneater (lol) 5*.
If it's not feasible I won't lose any sleep. But was curious. Even being able to get the MCII from some events now is a big step forward.
I brought PBD and all thunder. I didn't bother with the arms other than breakdowns. I just attacked the body.
I didn't even breakdown the arms. Terra was on Meteor/Ruinga duty. Tyro kept body FB/PB'd. Lightning was on Life Siphon duty to body for Crushing Blow spam. Celes used R3 Thunder Strike and Drain Strike if she needed a top off. Healer healed.
I've still got Lightning set as my RW for the moment, too. Should probably expect to do about 30k per use to body with FB applied. Paired with AoEing, there's a good chance you'd take down one arm while the other would just keep healed. In Ayn's case, though, Cecil looks like the dead weight since I wouldn't say a Knight-type is needed here. Swap him in for Celes if you have another Thunder Strike to work alongside Cloud's, which I guess I'd hope you'd set.
I brought Celes instead of Cecil or Steiner. Her default SB made everything hurt no more than like 100-150 damage with SS/Shell up.
WOO beat Kefka for my first MC2! Probably won't spend any time trying Inferno since my character synergy is bad, but feels good man
yay for the best waifu at 80
Ayn, what do your abilities look like? Your levels and gear look great so if your hones are OK this should be pretty easy. You can either take down the arms with AOE or leave them up and use protectga/drawfire+reta (they can AOE but eh, and the delta attack pet chance isn't really that high), and magic mitigate/DPS on inferno. Bring power breakdown for mastery and use thunder spells/spellblade.
Burning rave is probably the best pick here with a phys vulnerable boss and boostga. Pally cecil can hold magic break or could be replaced (alternately if you use zell, swapping terra for a physical sup 4/5 to get extra juice on the breakdown might not be bad). RW is probably HOTE/hastega if rave. Otherwise hope works, although if you do kill the arms and are using mages, you'll want a way to get past the eventual magitek barrier.
