Attacks

Rude is able to guard and deflect normal attacks, causing the enemy to be left open for a counterattack.
Swinging Toss
Rude grabs an enemy and swings them around before hurling them to another target, causing damage to both.
Strategy
First Phase
Avoid swapping to Aerith since it causes the boss to inflict her with Sleep. Instead, give some time to let Aerith’s ATB go up. Assign her to use support while you pilot Cloud.
Set to Punisher mode and have Cloud dodge the boss’ attacks. Cycle between Cloud’s and Aerith’s Aero.
Second Phase
Rude gains Shockwave and Spirit Geyser. When you suspect him to perform a ground pound, back away to avoid it and punish him with a counter if you can afford it. Like the first phase, concentrate on using Aero.
When you find Rude glowing, stop attacking and focus on evading. Nuke him with a wind spell of choice and execute counter.
