Sephiroth's attacks are quite powerful, but many of them can be negated using the invincibility frames of [[Leaf Bracer]] or Sora's Special Attacks. [[Sonic Blade]] and [[Strike Raid]] are most reliable for this, and Strike Raid is particularly good at hitting Sephiroth from a distance. In order to provide for maximum defense and restoration, [[Once More]], [[Second Chance]], [[Dodge Roll]], [[Superglide]], at least one [[MP Rage]], and in ''Final Mix'', [[Leaf Bracer]] should be equipped. [[Curaga]] and [[Aeroga]] should be set as shortcuts, as well as several [[Elixir]]s or [[Hi-Potion]]s in order to recover from Heartless Angel. Sora should equip a Keyblade that boosts his MP and magic, such as [[Ultima Weapon]] or [[Diamond Dust]], as well as armor that boosts his HP, defense, and resistance to the Dark element, such as [[Crystal Crown]], [[Gaia Bangle]], or [[Omega Arts]]. Sephiroth's blockable techniques all have maximum recoil, so dodging or negating them is preferable to blocking unless Sora is equipped with the Ultima Weapon or [[Divine Rose]]. Sora should focus on keeping his MP up so that he can quickly heal whenever his HP gets low, and performing a Special Attack to deal damage if he has excess MP. In ''Final Mix'' and ''HD 1.5 ReMIX'', [[Hurricane Blast]], [[Slapshot]], and [[Combo Master]] are useful for dealing large amounts of damage to Sephiroth, although they do not provide the invincibility frames of a Special Attack.

In the first phase, Sephiroth will walk around the arena, occasionally performing Rapid Mow Down, Stepping Mow Down, or Figa Wall. It is possible to hit him with Keyblade combos by jumping towards him to dodge his Rapid Mow Down, but it is more reliable to focus on Strike Raid or Sonic Blade. If [[Scan]] is equipped, Sephiroth's HP Gauge will not appear to deplete at first even though he is taking damage.

If [[Scan]] is equipped, Sephiroth's HP Gauge will not appear to deplete at first even though he is taking damage. Between the first two attacks, trying to guard may prove difficult due to the startup difference between both his two basic slashes.


Once Sephiroth's first, red HP bar is depleted, he will enter the second phase, telegraphed by him holding out his hand and saying "Come." In the second phase, Sephiroth will run instead of walk, and more frequently use Rapid Mow Down. His first action will be to cast Heartless Angel, and he will occasionally recast throughout the rest of the phase. He will also begin using Wild Dance.
