Attacks
1)Shotgun

Rufus shoots a single bullet at Cloud. Deals about 30 damage.
2)Barrier

Dark Nation summons a protective shield for him and Rufus. The shield reduces physical damage inflicted on the affected.

The Guard Hound creates a shield for him and his master. This shield reduces magic damage inflicted on the affected.
4)Bolt

Strategy
Focus on Defeating Dark Nation First

Defeating Dark Nation will make Rufus more vulnerable as he won’t have shields or Bolt in his arsenal. In addition, Dark Nation won’t give you an item (Guard Source) if you defeat Rufus first.
Constantly Use Bolt and Other Magic Spells
Lightning magic is effective against Dark Nation. When only Rufus remains, bombard him with magic to quickly defeat him.
