Recommended paradigm s are : It is recommended to start the battle with SYN / SYN / SEN to buff the party with Protect and Shell . If the party has a Goblin Chieftain as a Sentinel , its Feral Link ability can be used to buff all from the start . After being buffed the party should switch to SAB / SAB / SEN and start spamming ailments on the Long Gui ' s foreleg , especially Deprotect and Deshell . It ' s also possible to poison it . The player should switch to Tortoise ( SEN / SEN / SEN ) whenever Long Gui attacks to minimize its attacks . It is near mandatory to restore HP after every attack . Once the leg has Deprotect and Deshell on , the party can switch to RAV / RAV / COM and start building the chain gauge , and after it reaches its stagger point switch to Cerberus ( COM / COM / COM ) and start attacking until it falls . Repeating the same process with the other leg sends the Long Gui falling to the ground . The legs have a low chain resistance , making them easy to stagger . Once Long Gui is toppled the party should inflict Deprotect , Deshell , and Poison on it and switch back to RAV / RAV / COM and start building the chain gauge .

The Long Gui will get back up when its stagger is reaching its end , and the party must repeat the same steps of taking out the legs first . Depending on the party ' s state it will take 2 - 3 staggers to bring down its HP to zero .
