Phases:

1. Aska First: Aska is the priority target. He has only two main attacks: a physical attack that's easy to predict and Sunshine Nova, where he flies up and releases a Light-based damaging ball. He's not too tough, especially with Sheena's T. Seal: Darkness active.
2. Luna Second: Once Aska is down, turn your attention to Luna. She has more attacks than Aska but they deal less damage. Her most dangerous move is Ray. You can interrupt her magic casting by dealing a significant amount of damage quickly.

Strategy:

• Before the fight, consider using Sheena's T. Seal: Darkness. This is super helpful, especially when focusing on Aska first.
• Don't worry too much about Luna initially; Zelos and Sheena will keep her busy.
• Aska's physical attack is straightforward, and Sunshine Nova is telegraphed when he flies up. Dodge or block these.
• When fighting Luna, stay aggressive. If you hit her enough, you can cancel her spells, which is key to avoiding heavy damage.
• Keep an eye on your HP and TP, and use gels if needed.
• After the battle, you'll receive a 'Topaz', and Sheena will learn 'S. Seal: Light' and 'Summon: Light'. Kratos will also rejoin the party, gaining the 'Traitor' title. You'll then be transported to Iselia Human Ranch.
