Both
Gajeel and
Rogue have resistances to each other’s attacks since they have the same element. Start by casting Steel to increase Gajeel’s ATK and DEF at the cost of lowering his SPD. Focus on using Gajeel’s attacks that also applies the DEF Down debuff. If Gajeel is properly leveled up, even just using his Mega Iron Dragon Roar should be enough to inflict DEF Down and
Break, allowing you to land another free hit. Keep spamming this attack until you deplete Rogue’s HP. A cutscene will follow afterward.
For the second phase of the battle,
Rogue’s shadow will take over, boosting his stats. If the ATK/DEF buffs is still active, have
Gajeel spam his DEF Down skills and continue trading blows with Rogue until his HP gets depleted once again.
Finally at the third phase,
Gajeel will take on his shadow dragon form. The battle is practically set to your favor now since Rogues’ attacks will just get drained and heal Gajeel. You should have a full fairy gauge at this point as well. You can cast Steel once again then activate a
Magic Chain on the following turn. Alternatively, you can use the Iron Shadow Dragon Roar that’s temporarily available while in this form. This will seriously damage
Rogue with several debuffs and status ailments inflicted. Finish him off to finally conclude the battle.
