Help FFXIII: Mission 62. Raktavija

[Altair]

Ok I really need help at this mission. I have completed every other mission in the circle of stones. I can trample an Adamantoise, but not this. My chars are around 16000 with snow at about 20000. I throw my best team at them and use all different paradigm decks.

I go in with full shrouds and immediatly slow both of them, then imperil and pain. You can't catch them with a premptive strike and before you can stagger one they throw 5 ruingas, 2 blizzagas, a firaga, and thundaga and after that salvation doesn't even keep you alive. I have tried timing tortise to thier attacks but it makes little difference. I only come for help because I have failed over fifty times, and I know I must be doing something wrong. Either that or I will have to grind for two months straight to get high enough hp to withstand them. Please help

Are your party members fully leveled? I wouldn't bother with this mission unless every last CP has been spent. It sounds like you're basically there, but otherwise, don't bother.

If you are completely leveled, I have a few ideas. I'd use the following Paradigms:

(SAB/SEN/SYN) Premeditation <-------------Start here
(SAB/RAV/RAV) Smart Bomb
(SEN/MED/MED) Combat Clinic
(SEN/RAV/RAV) Mystic Tower
(COM/COM/COM) Cerberus
Fill something in here.

The goal, as you might have guessed, is to eliminate one of the enemies as quickly as possible. Once you've done this, the fight is easy.

You'll want to spend the majority of your time in Smart Bomb or Mystic Tower to quickly stagger one of the enemies. Make sure to keeps not only the buffs on your own party but on your target as well. Once you get one staggered, switch to something like Smart Bomb to get the Stagger Gauge up to around 999, then switch to Cerberus for the final push. Using an ability like Highwind or Army of One will help immensely here.

Try that and see how it works. Let me know what happens.

I had all my characters equipped with 3 witch bracelets Lv.7 when you have 3 of them they give +54% magic defense i leveled them with 50 egnimatic fluits so they got exp X3 than i repeated mission 34 for bomb cores and they gave alot of exp

I HATED this mission, I probably tried beating it like 3 hours straight with no sign of winning. Then FINALLY some stroke of luck helped me beat it. I had full shrouds on, then SAB/SAB/SAB to raise the stagger and add debuffs, then RAV/RAV/RAV to stagger, then COM/COM/COM to attack. (MY characters crystariums were almost maxed out basically, I only have one level to go for each character on a secondary role they have.)
