Phase 1 (100% - 50%)

 * Aranea will use Wind Reader every 4 turns.

 * If you did not use a Limit Burst, she will use Highwind (7.5x).
 * Every action has the following chance:
 * Forward Lunge (20% chance) or Dash Thrust (25% chance) or Brandish (3x) (15% chance) or Roundhouse Kick (15%).
 * Aranea will use Overclock (2x) once after she has used a combination of Forward Lunge and Dash Thrust 4 times. Overclock will increase in multiplier every use up to 16x.
 * Aranea will use Spectral Flight every 3 turns when her HP is below 60%.

Phase 2 (49% - 30%)

 * Aranea will use Radical Belief every turn.
 * Aranea will use Wind Reader every 4 turns.
 * Aranea will use Spectral Flight every 3 turns.
 * Every action has the following chance:
 * Dash Thrust (25% chance) or Brandish (3.5x) (15% chance) Smash (30% chance) or Swooping Blow (40% chance).
 * The Overclock rotation continues in this phase but now triggers every 4 uses of Dash Thrust.

Phase 3 (29% - 0%)

 * Aranea stops using Wind Reader.
 * Same actions as in Phase 2.
 * She has a 15% chance of using Highwind (4.8x) once per turn.

 * Aranea only uses physical attacks, so use a physical cover tank. If you have a 100% physical evasion tank unit, you will have no problem beating her. In any case, a 100% physical evasion unit will be able to solo this battle given enough time.
 * See Evasion page to find best unit/gear to use.
 * You can turn any unit into a physical cover tank with Illusionist Nichol.
 * As she's vulnerable to any break, make sure to use a strong break.
 * Keep track on her buffs; at around 3rd turn she will buff her ATK. Dispel this, unless you are using aforementioned evasion tank.
 * She uses Wind Reader every 4 turns, and then Highwind the following turn. If you use any LB right after she uses Wind Reader, including no-damage support LB, the damage of Highwind will be reduced and her DEF will break.
 * She will ramp up damage below 50% HP.
