okay I want some help. Trying to do the 4 star mote Dissidia raid solo and I am just lost on what I am doing wrong.

The problem is Cloud's Ultimate Blade Beam, a very strong, defense-ignoring, NAT-typed, ranged physical. It can essentially wipe your party at will, and you cannot prevent him from using it. Also, he will chase it with Ultimate Braver and Ultimate Cross-Slash, which hit even harder, although thankfully those are neither full-party MT nor ranged.

Since Cloud precedes UBB with Limit Break, which buffs his own Atk, straight Atk breaks like Steal Power are very useful only if you can reliably land them right after Limit Break (e.g. by having someone use Powerchain in advance and then idle.) Otherwise, look into stacking Atk debuffs like Multi Break, Enfeebling Jitterbug, and Mug Bloodlust. Stoneskin, Guts, and even the basic Defend command can also help you survive Cloud's attacks. Blink should also work, but with WoL and Firion around I'd hate to rely on it.

Also, you want to either use entirely MT attacks (to end the fight faster) or entirely ST attacks (to avoid triggering the 'damaged' AI scripts on Firion and WoL.)

I don't like this duchy. Now, it's an adventurer.
