Finally! I learned my lessons from yesterday's failure and managed to take him apart this time!

Also, you can see at the end that I have not only completed all missions with these restrictions but also five-starred them all! (Though that's not really that impressive since the target times are extremely high thanks to my low stats anyway.) The only things I have left to do now are Chapters 12 and 13, and the Long/Shaolong Guis. Yayyyyyy!

Some notes:

* I was kinda dicking around in the beginning, which is why Fang died 5 seconds into the battle. Basically, I was fed up with how hard it was to get Lightning on the other side of Vercingetorix and decided to switch things up with Fang not in a Sen role for two seconds. The first stage of the battle is easy, though; his attacks are weak and he doesn't use Wicked Whirl. That's why I try so hard to get Lightning across the stage early on.

* 5:53 is the optimal place for Lightning to be; Fang rarely gets that far over, which makes Lightning dodge Wicked Whirl 90% of the time.

* 7:23 LIGHTNING Y U MOVE RIGHT? This moved her from her optimal spot and I could never return there. Oh well, I won anyway.

* 8:24 is the second stage of the battle, where Vercingetorix starts using Wicked Whirl. If Lightning gets caught by any Wicked Whirl, it's game over. Fang and Vanille die to Wicked Whirl 99% of the time, so I have to revive them and tank Vercingetorix's remaining attacks until they get full ATB bars, then I can resume with whatever I need to do (primarily moving Lightning away again).

* 10:18 I am really surprised I survived that. Usually a Wind Shear immediately after a Wicked Whirl means all the attacks hit Lightning, which even in full health Sen can kill. But I had revived Fang quickly enough so it didn't matter.

* 10:51 is the third and final stage of the battle; his attacks are the strongest and he will now use two Wicked Whirls between Impenetrable Auras. As you can see, he immediately started with a Wicked Whirl which isn't optimal because I have to defend against his strongest attacks while he's buffed with Bravery and Faith. I'm also surprised Lightning wasn't caught up in the Wicked Whirl, too, especially since V. went straight for Vanille.

* 14:54 Oh my gosh, after my failure video I was so certain this was another failed attempt WHEN I WAS SO CLOSE YET AGAIN...

* 15:00 Epic win! :D

The rest is just to show the paradigms, equipment, stats, and proof that this was done with Stage 8 stats. I also prove that I 5-starred all the missions with these stats. :D

So what else should I do? I'm tempted to go back and record mission 51 (Attacus) and mission 55 (Neochu + 5 Picochu) since those were the most challenging with my stats, but I'm also unsure if I want to relive those nightmares, especially after finally conquering this one. I might also try and tackle Shaolong Gui since that's the last feasible beast I can take down... Long Gui might just be impossible without an Elixir, which I can't obtain until Chapter 13. (I don't know if you can tell from this video, but I'm still in Chapter 11!)
