GENERAL INFORMATION:

  Dark Anima's physical attack, although inflicting very low damage (with high stats),
can petrify a party member and instantly shatter them; as well as inflict Poison,
Zombie, and Curse. Her special attack, Pain, bypasses Deathproof and kills any
character instantly, including aeons. Dark Anima's most dangerous regular attack
is Mega-Graviton, which deals fractional damage for 7/16ths of target's maximum HP
to all targets, and inflicts Doom, Slow, Silence, Darkness, and Sleep for 99 turns.

  Dark Anima's Overdrive is Oblivion, which deals 16 hits that range from 5,080 to 5,736
damage per hit (81,820 to 91,776 total) and the damage can only be reduced by another
aeon's Shield. It also causes MP damage for about 10% of the dealt damage amount, and
inflicts Delay (strong) and removes the following status buffs (Haste, NulAll, Protect,
Reflect, Regen, and Shell). Dark Anima's Overdrive gauge increases by 10% when
attacking and 5% when targeted.

  Dark Anima is immune to all magical attacks and does not counterattack, and will absorb
all elemental attacks that are not blocked by her immunity to magical damage
(such as elemental aeon Overdrives or elemental items).

STRATEGY:

  It is recommended to have Strength, Defense, and Agility as high as possible, as well
as high Luck. It is best if every character has Stoneproof or Ribbon to avoid being
petrified and shattered—unlike other Dark Aeons, which only shatter if the
petrifying attack deals fatal damage, Dark Anima's attack always shatters the
target if petrification is successful. Auto-Phoenix is useful. One character
could use Sentinel so that they're the only one to receive Dark Anima's physical
attack, and thus the only one who needs Stoneproof/Ribbon. This frees up a slot
in the other characters' armor for a different ability.

  With Auto-Haste or by applying Haste via other means, party members can execute long
series of attacks, dealing massive damage. Quick Hit can be used to get even more
hits in. Cheer, Aim and Luck can be used to boost stats, or Rikku's Ultra NulAll Mix
can be used to grant maximum stat boosts to the party in one move. If Dark Anima is
going to cast Oblivion, Rikku should use the Overdrive Hyper Mighty G or the party
can summon an aeon to take the blow. The party can also survive the full Oblivion
if their HP is at the absolute cap at 99,999, or very close to that amount,
preferably at least 91,777.
