Brynhildr (boss)

Brynhildr is a boss in Final Fantasy XIII. She is Sazh's Eidolon, and is fought by him and Vanille in Nautilus as a test to prove Sazh's strength to her.
== Stats ==
== Battle ==
Brynhildr inflicts Doom on Sazh at the beginning of the battle, and instead of defeating her, Sazh must fully fill up her Gestalt bar.
For attacks, Brynhildr can fire a barrage of bullets at one target and deal rapid damage over an area with Valkyrian Scythe, while Pyroshot and Pyroburst function similarly to Fire and Fira, respectively.
=== Strategy ===
Sazh should prioritize applying Haste and Enfrost to himself, and can apply Vigilance to both himself and Vanille to stave off knockback. Vanille's offensive spells and curing benefit from Haste and Faith.
Due to conditional chaining modifiers, the Gestalt Gauge will fill very quickly if Sazh queues up Attack>Blitz, with his Blitz greatly benefiting from Enfrost and the alternating ability bonus. Vanille can simply alternate between RAV and MED. Debuffs and additional buffs are not vital but aid in chaining.
Sazh can use a shroud before he meets up with Vanille, but will still need to cast Enfrost manually.
