Omega (Final Fantasy V)

=== Strategy ===
Even on its first move, Omega may destroy the entire party on sheer whim. Thus it is recommended to aim for a pre-emptive strike/first move.

Each party member should equip a [[Final Fantasy V accessories#Fire Ring|Fire Ring]] to absorb Omega's Fire-based attacks. It is advised to have at least one [[Bard (Final Fantasy V)|Bard]] who knows [[Sing (command)#Final Fantasy V|Romeo's Ballad]], since Omega is not immune to [[Stop (status)|Stop]], although it is not stopped for long. In the Game Boy Advance version, Omega is also susceptible to [[Beastmaster (Final Fantasy V)|Beastmaster]]'s [[Tame|Calm]].

A character who knows [[Spellblade (Final Fantasy V)|Thundaga Sword]] and [[Barrage|Rapid Fire]] should be able to take it down in one or two turns as long as they avoid attacking while Omega is charging up, in case it counters with Encircle. Three Bards and a [[Mystic Knight (Final Fantasy V)|Mystic Knight]] with Thundaga Sword makes for an easy fight. With the slowest [[Battle Speed|battle speed]] with using Romeo's Ballad every time Omega comes out of Stop, he'll be permanently stopped; this can be made easier with applying [[Haste (status)|Haste]] to the party.

If the party [[Summon (Final Fantasy V)|summons]] [[Carbuncle (summon)#Final Fantasy V|Carbuncle]] to counter Omega's Auto-Reflect and avoid Atomic Ray, they can have a Bard sing Romeo's Ballad constantly and [[Dualcast#Final Fantasy V|Dualcast]] [[Black Magic (Final Fantasy V)#Thundaga|Thundaga]] onto the party, and, if possible, equip [[Final Fantasy V weapons#Masamune|Masamune]] to the [[Summoner (Final Fantasy V)|Summoner]], and [[Final Fantasy V accessories#Hermes Sandals|Hermes Sandals]] on the Bard and [[Black Mage (Final Fantasy V)|Black Mage]]. With this strategy, Omega should go down in three turns.

Another strategy is for each character to equip a Fire Ring and be affected with the Float status. One party member should have [[Time Magic (Final Fantasy V)|Time Magic]] Level 6 and [[Gil Toss#Final Fantasy V|Zeninage]] with the Masamune equipped. The other two should have [[Mix (Final Fantasy V)|Mix]] and Zeninage, and the final character should have [[White Magic (Final Fantasy V)|White Magic]] Level 6 and Zeninage. The party should have six [[Final Fantasy V items#Turtle Shell|Turtle Shells]], six [[Final Fantasy V items#Antidote|Antidotes]], and 60,000 [[gil]].

The player should start by casting [[Time Magic (Final Fantasy V)#Hastega|Hastega]] and not attack until they mix a Turtle Shell and an Antidote six times, applying the mix each time to Omega reducing Omega's [[Defense (stat)|Defense]] to where the party can really hurt it. One should never recast Haste, and also not recast Float unless there are no more characters with the Float status left.

The party should attack with Zeninage, dealing about 9000 damage each time. The player should only hit once at a time, wait for the counterattack, heal, and then hit again with Zeninage. The final party member should repeatedly use [[White Magic (Final Fantasy V)#Curaga|Curaga]] [[Group-cast|on the party]]. With two Mix abilities there are three characters who can cast [[Arise#Final Fantasy V|Arise]] in the party (a [[Final Fantasy V items#Phoenix Down|Phoenix Down]] mixed with [[Final Fantasy V items#Potion|Potion]] makes the Arise spell).

Fire Rings absorb Omega's Fire attacks, and the Float status—assuming at least one character stays alive throughout the entire fight—will ensure the party is not entirely wiped out by Earthquake. Equipping [[Final Fantasy V armor#Ribbon|Ribbons]] on as many characters as possible helps to avoid some of Omega's [[status effect|status ailments]], but it will not protect against the Confusion inflicted by Rocket Punch. To prevent it, the player must equip either the [[Final Fantasy V armor#Prism Dress|Prism Dress]], [[Final Fantasy V armor#Genji Armor|Genji Armor]], or [[Final Fantasy V armor#Bone Mail|Bone Mail]]. Using [[Mix (Final Fantasy V)#Dragon's Kiss|Dragon's Kiss]] (via Mix) on the party immunizes the target to Encircle.
