Sabertooth, Rogue | Light | Dark |
For
Natsu, start by using Crimson Lotus: Fire Dragon Fist to hit both enemies and give him the Counter stance. For
Gajeel, use Iron Dragon Lance: Demon Logs since its range can hit both
Sting and
Rogue while also lowering their defense. Don’t hesitate to activate Follow-Up attacks as well since you don’t need to activate
Awakening in this fight. If you managed to fill up your fairy gauge at this phase, don’t use it yet and just use ordinary attacks until you deplete their HP gauges.
After depleting their HP, the battle will enter the second phase. Both of them will use Dragon Drive, with
Sting getting DEF Up and Barrier while Sting getting a SPD and LUC
Buff. If you start this phase of the battle with a full fairy gauge, use a
Magic Chain immediately. This will not instantly KO Sting and
Rogue but will severely damage them. Pick them off with ordinary attacks to end this phase of the battle.
Finally, we enter the last phase of the battle.
Sting and
Rogue will activate their
Dragon Force forms, giving them a significant
Buff to their parameters, making them even more sturdier than before. At this point, you have to focus your attacks on each of them. Have
Gajeel use his attack against Sting, especially those magic with the DEF down effect.
Continue your normal attacks until you’re able to fill up your fairy gauge again. Wait for the duo to use their powerful combo attack (Holy Shadow Dragon Flash Fang) before activating your
Magic Chain.
Natsu and
Gajeel will suffer high damage but will endure this attack just fine. Better yet, this attack will decrease
Sting and
Rogue’s defense, making it ideal to retaliate with a magic chain. If you’re able to pull off this timing properly, you’ll be able to completely decimate the duo and win the match during this turn.
