Attack Strategy Help!!!

[crazybayman]

Yeah, but Yuna isn't there? How should I cast Esuna? I'm almost defeating him.....only a few thousand hp left, but then he just have to cast haste and do this swooping swayth whatever you call it! What should i do?? What are my 3 top choices characters for this battle?

I just beat him recently. I used haste on Tidus, Auron, Kimahri, Wakka, and Rikku. I just beat the crap outta him with Tidus, Auron, Kimahri, and Wakka, and brought in Rikku for healing with Al Bhed potions.

So yeah, I found it useful to fight him up close. Whenever I tried to pull away when he took a big breathe (stepped back and did that roaring thing), he had already cast haste on himself (or herself?), so the airship couldn't pull back in time, and he hit me with his breath. Plus, when I finally did pull back, he used swooping scaythe.

Be sure to haste EVERYONE, as he is quite fast, and don't forget to throw Lulu in for a shot, so she can gain some exp. I had Tidus and Kimahri learn haste, so it was quite easy to have someone available to cast it.

I found Evrae tough on my first playthrough too. He's one mean b@stard.

Edit: Oh yeah, use Wakka's Dark Buster whenever you attack with Wakka. It'll blind Evrae for 1 turn, so he'll miss in his phyiscal attack, saving you some HP.
