Anima (Final Fantasy X boss)

Anima is a boss summoned by Seymour Guado during the first battle against him. After she is defeated, the battle against Seymour will continue.

Strategy
Anima's Pain attack causes Instant Death, so it is best to take Tidus's advice and summon Shiva (presented as "????" at this stage of the game) as aeons are immune and will just suffer damage. Shiva should shield against Anima's Pain and heal using Ice spells until she has a full Overdrive gauge. Anima may also use Boost to fill up its Overdrive gauge and miss a turn.

Diamond Dust will potentially do near max damage to Anima. The player should aim to keep Shiva alive until Anima unleashes Oblivion; just before Oblivion is launched, Shiva should use Shield. After that, one need simply attack until Anima is dismissed by Seymour. If Yuna can use Grand Summon and call Shiva with a full Overdrive gauge at the start, this part of the battle will go quicker.
