Boris (Final Fantasy X-2)

Boris is a boss in Final Fantasy X-2. He is first fought in Chapter 1 guarding the Black Mage Dressphere atop the Mt. Gagazet Ruins.

Strategy
Boris is fairly strong at this point in the game, being able to inflict around 50 HP per strike. His Sticky End attack can inflict the Stop status on your party.

To defeat him, it is best to have two party members in attacking-type dresspheres (such as the Gunner or Warrior) and the third party member being a Songstress. Have the Songstress continually use Darkness Dance while the other two just attack. If a Warrior knows the abilities Flametounge or Liquid Steel, then those could also be used to inflict damage. The Darkness inflicted on Boris will lower his Accuracy, so you will not need to worry about him hitting you too much. If you do receive critical damage or one of your party members gets stopped, use a Potion and Remedy, respectively.

Etymology
Boris' name is most likely a reference to the song "Boris the Spider" by The Who.
