Phases:

1. Aska: This is your primary target initially. Aska has relatively few attacks, making him predictable. His standard physical attack is easy to dodge, and his special move, Sunshine Nova, involves him flying up and releasing a damaging light-based attack. Stay aware of his position and dodge accordingly.
2. Luna: Once Aska is dealt with, turn your attention to Luna. She has more varied attacks than Aska, but they generally do less damage. Her basic physical attack is weak, and her more powerful spells include Photon and Ray. The key here is to interrupt her casting by dealing consistent damage.

Strategy:

• If you have Sheena's T. Seal: Darkness, it's highly recommended to use it here, especially against Aska.
• Prioritize taking down Aska first. While his attacks can deal moderate damage, his limited move set makes him manageable.
• Keep an eye on Luna; she'll likely be engaged with Zelos and Sheena, which should give you a good window to focus on Aska without being overwhelmed by both bosses simultaneously.
• Once Aska is defeated, switch your focus to Luna. Don't let her cast her powerful spells like Ray. Use combos to interrupt her magic and deal as much damage as possible.
• Luna's attacks are generally weaker than Aska's, so once you get into a rhythm of interrupting her and dealing damage, she shouldn't pose too much of a threat.
