    Omega Weapon's Medigo Flame deals, as rubah noted, 9998 damage to all characters. While full health and 9999 max HP can circumvent this attack, it's also possible to have a GF "block" it by taking the damage for the character during the summoning process.

    Omega Weapon also has Light Pillar, which has the same effect as when Ultima Weapon uses it. One target will take 9999 damage.

    Once you've used Phoenix in battle, it will sometimes appear during random battles and perform Rebirth Flame, reviving KO'ed characters, which can save the party from annihilation. This is the closest FFVIII comes to having an Auto-Life type spell.

    And, yes, invincibility items guard against anything, although Omega's predictability removes most of the difficulty from the battle. They're really not necessary.

    Not really.

    Leveling your characters up without any of the status benefits will backfire.
    Leveling your characters up with four of them will allow you to pwnze anything and junction less magic.

    Still... the most powerful party is a level 9 party with the best Junctioning and best Weapons. You can kill bosses in a singel phsycical blow sometimes.

    You know, I never know this until I came along with some random post about Omega weapon on this forum...

    Like the three Seifer fights, the two Raijin/Fujin fights, Iron Clad, and Disc 1 Edea? XD

    Well, back to the topic o.o

    Terra Break can be reduced by having high Vit, Protect, invisibility items/Invincible Moon, Defending, or having a GF take most of the damage.

    My frist tries against Omega I did the last one. XD

    Well, it depends. If you use the stat Bonus abilities as you go up, it won't harm you. Of course, you could just keep your levels low and use Devour and get the same results while your enemies stayed weak, but that's a much slower process.

    Plus you need to draw Eden from and defeat Ultima Weapon/Tiamat first. x.x
    Or to use a Hungry Cookpot, a oh-so-rare item. T_T

    But Angelo Search is tricky to activate. I don't plan to leave my console turned on 9+ hours just to get items.

    Devour is useless anyway. *shot*

    PS: Ultima Weapon at Lv9~12 WAS a sucker. XD I kept on Drawing Ultima form him, oly using Phoenix Downs/Revive when Light Pillar. His other attacks couldn't kill me anyway.

    I was absorbing Quake. Even if I wasn't, It would deal 200 damage.
    Gravija can't kill you, obviously.
    His sword slash dealt 200 damage.
    And... without Shell... his Meteor dealt 82 DAMAGE PER METEOR LOL XD
