Ultros was probably designed more with bursts than hones in mind though, he also has fire/electric weaknesses so some characters are tailor made to kill him with their relics (Ashe, Shantotto, Kain, Terra, Refia, Locke, Papalymo ect) It's probably better to use SB building materias like Knight's Charge and Ace Striker on characters with instant burst commands who can fill up another bar quickly like Vaan, Alphinaud, Raines, Onion Knight ect if he's too much of an endurance with just hones.

I mastered the FFXI ultimates.

Porphyrion was cake, I brought Prishe and thankfully she can use Slowga so I don't have to rely on Tempo Flurry, Vaan for breaks, Beatrix for Gaia's Cross and Tyro/Y'shtola. He never did any significant damage outside of Ultimate Roar of Thunder but Asylum patched that up.

Minotaur was also easy thanks to native Raines burst, I don't have any Shantotto relics but all she really needed to do was use Ley Lines RW and some chainga spells, Raines and Alphinaud killed him so quickly she only got a little over a bar anyway at the end of the fight.

Shadow Lord took forever though, he has two "lives" kind of like Primal Exdeath but that adds up to 400k HP together and he has no weakness. I egged up Prishe to 80 and brought Vayne, Vaan, Tyro and Y'shtola. First life is the same as the multiplayer from earlier but the second phase is more a straightforward Ultimate++ and he stops the immunity, but I was gimped because my Vessel of Fate ran out during the first life since Vayne had to do the physical immunity phase by himself. Second part was a race to kill him before Tyro ran out of wraths to use SG but other than that I was never in danger of dying thanks to Prishe's Super and Y'shtola's burst.
