Final Fantasy XIII - Adamantoise Stage 1 (low-spec, summon)

Low-spec Adamantoise battle for those interested in early farming. Only equipment required is a pair of maxed Hyades Magnums (Tier 2 Pleiades Hi-Powers, which are found in Oerba). I have a Genji Glove equipped but it's not at all necessary and has no effect on the fight.

Done at non-maxed Crystarium Lv 9 (note the low HP totals), with a pinch of SAB for Sazh (so he can Deprotect and Deshell early).

Don't use Cold Blood to chain like I did. Just use normal RAV attacks.

Party
Sazh/Lightning/Fang (can use Snow instead of Lightning)

Paradigms
SYN/COM/SAB
SAB/RAV/SAB
RAV/RAV/SAB x2 (use shift recharge/ATB refresh)
COM/COM/COM x2

If you want to play it safe, summon immediately instead of doing one round of SYN like I did (but you can see that I messed up and went into the shift menu instead of Techniques... normally one round of SYN shouldn't be cutting it that close).

You can also use COM/COM/SAB instead of COM/COM/COM (have Fang keep sticking Daze, which will increase your damage), but make sure you time your Blitzes with the Dazes.
