Here's my simple guide on how to beat the final challenge Three Person Team vs Top Secret in the Shinra Combat Simulator.
My lineup:
Cloud - Main DPS/Somewhat Tank
Tifa - Main Stagger builder and Secondary DPS
Aerith - Mage and Healer
Materias to Consider
i. Revive - You'll need this possibly for the entirety of this challenge maybe except for Fat Chocobo.
ii. First Strike - Whoever you want to have an immediate ATB advantage at the beginning of the fight. I have mine on Cloud.
iii. Steadfast Block - For Aerith so she can gain more ATB as she blocks attacks
iv. Healing/Barrier - For keeping the party alive especially on Rounds 4 and 5.
vi. Magnify - Just a personal preference of mine and connect it with a healing materia so you can use Curaga for everyone instantaneously.
vii. Elemental - Preferably MAX LEVEL and connect this with a Fire materia on Cloud (armor) so you'll have an easier time dealing with Ifrit as soon as Bahamut summons him. Mine isn't at max level though so I still get hit with fire attacks lol.
viii. Time - If you prefer to mount offense really fast. You can also pair it with magnify to have haste on all three or use Stop against Shiva for example.
Boss Strategy
Round 1 - Shiva: Same as the first encounter only that she does more damage. Use Firaga to stop her if necessary. Keep the pressure on building up her stagger and chip away. Shiva is also susceptible to Stop so you can use that and stop her from floating around too much.
Round 2 - Fat Chocobo: Easiest among the 5 battles. Very similar to the first encounter and doesn't do much that is threatening. Mount pressure and kill easily.
Round 3 - Leviathan: Annoying same as the first because he will just fly away for the 2nd half of the fight. You can have Lightning on your mage with high MP and hit him with it as soon as he starts flying. Be careful with your MP though. Block his charging attacks and heal if necessary.
Round 4 - Bahamut ft. Ifrit - The first half of the fight is similar and he still does the countdown. Either stagger him before he releases it to reset to put MANAWALL on each of your members in order to survive Mega Flare. He will then summon Ifrit on the 2nd half of the fight and if you have a MAX Elemental on Cloud paired with Fire he will basically tank the rest of the fight as long as Ifrit is hitting him with fire based attacks. Block often and heal wisely. This is actually the hardest round in this challenge.
Round 5 - Pride and Joy Prototype: Honestly not a difficult boss. The mech hits hard but also slow and telegraphs most of its attacks. The only thing you should be careful is his Catch attack because whoever gets caught will be disabled for a long time. Unfortunately for me Aerith got caught and I lost my healer and almost ended up losing the fight lol.
