Fight mechanics:
50T to get through 40M HP (20M each)
BRV damage is reduced by up to 70% throughout the fight.
BRV Gains are reduced by up to 50% throughout the fight.
General Team Themes to counter the stage:
20M HP in an era with Force Weapons. Force Time + BT phase or strong summon phase can eat that HP up.
These enemies can actually get high turn rate and lots of BRV that can lead to dangerous attacks if unmitigated. Either deny them turns or mitigate to take their attacks and counter/trap attack back.

Fight mechanics:
60T fight, 40M HP (20M each)
BRV damage is reduced by up to 70% throughout the fight.
BRV gains are reduced by up to 50% throughout the fight.
General Team Themes to counter the stage:
Celes and Rubicante can solo this stage, just make sure getting to FR time is comfy.
The enemies can link up and reduce BRV DMG taken by 75% unless launched. If taking an aggressive approach, launch is heavily suggested. Selphie, Keiss are helpful if you have them free (not locked in DET 6 right). Raines call is great for a strong burst phase.

15T Force Time: Cannot BREAK delay, cannnot delete their turns, you cannot gain BRV
They can use Slime Rain+ during FR time which ignores HP DMG mitigation.

3 Stack: DEF up, 1M HP Regen
4 - 5 Stacks: DEF up only (This is what you want)
6+ Stack: DEF up, 1M HP Regen, 100% BRV DMG reduction, 300% HP DMG reduction
HP Regens occur on their turns only
Below 50% HP: Above auras are canceled and replaced with a 100% HP DMG Resist unless launch HP damage.
They also inflict Old 5T on the party here.
Below 29% HP: Repeat the Stacked Debuff mechanic, removes the launch requirement and resist of normal HP DMG aura.
Fran BASE call, Jack LDCA, Kurasame, Kadaj and Cinque can all apply a stacking debuff up to level 5.
If you bring Fran/Neon and use LD, make sure to have another stacking debuff as those will take priority over negative effects 6+ stacks would otherwise bring.
