Tips[]

See testimonials and discussions.
The Dragon will counter if hit with abilities or magic
- This includes ability- and magic-based counters (e.g. Holy from Ring of the Lucii, Lotus Mage Fina's Holy Retaliation counter)
The trick is to hit the Dragon with an esper (needs to be one that deals damage, e.g. Odin, Bahamut)
- On the turn after the dragon is hit with an Esper, it uses a self-imperil as its only action.
- The turn after that, it resumes its normal attack rotation.
- BUT for those 2 turns, the Dragon will not counter if hit with abilities/magic.
- Suggested rotation: Fill esper gauge -> summon esper -> fill esper gauge -> summon esper...
