Switch to Barret when Air Buster moves away.
At the start of the second phase of the fight, Air Buster will be at a considerable distance away from you. Only Barret will be able to hit him with normal attacks when Air Buster is airborne so switch your controls to him and attack him to build up your ATB gauge.
Build up ATB gauges for Cloud and Tifa.
Try to accumulate up to two ATB bars with Cloud and Tifa when Air Buster is within melee range. You will want to have enough ATB bars to attack him with magic when he flies away again.
Defeat Air Buster before time runs out.
The boss battle has a time limit of 21 minutes. Stack as much damage as you can with abilities, limit breaks, and magic to take down Air Buster before the time runs out.
