 * 50% HP: Casts MS Focusing Magic Power! -> MS Snort and ends the turn. On the following turn, it casts MS Ultima

Other Attacks

 * On standard turns, there's a 20% chance of casting MS Strike once. Additionally, every four turns (including pre-emptive turn, so when turn counter displays 4n-1), Brachiosaur casts MS Disaster -> MS Meteor and will not get a chance to cast MS Strike.
 * Every other turn (starting after pre-emptive turn, so when turn counter is odd), Brachiosaur casts MS Spin once and it won't cast MS Strike. Whenever he casts the MS Disaster -> MS Meteor sequence, it will not cast MS Spin.

Tips

 * See testimonials and discussions.
 * You can seal Ultima and Disaster with Manufacted Nethicite or Celes' Sealing Blade.
 * You can reflect Disaster.
 * Use dispel whenever it uses Focusing Magic Power! It'll dispel the massive buff, but not the resistances.
 * Handling Snort:
 * You OTK Brachiosaur from above 50% HP, completely skipping the 2 snorts.
 * You provoke the 50% HP threshold snort with a non-crucial unit and OTK Brachiosaur from above 30% HP.
 * You provoke both snorts.
 * Magic Cover Tank route
 * Allows you to redirect Ultima to a single unit. However, your team will have to handle Spin.
 * Spin can be dodged with AoE mirage (e.g. Sara's Retreat Command or Illusionist Nichol's LB)
 * Physical Cover Tank route
 * Use a physical cover tank to handle Spin, Strike and Normal Attacks, while leaving your party open to Ultima and Meteor.
 * Ultima won't hit prepared parties too hard (~3k on a 400 SPR unit w/ 45% breaks), so you might save up a valuable team slot. Otherwise seal the spell.
