Anima can use Oblivion and Pain. Instead of being instant death like in Final Fantasy X, Pain this time inflicts non-elemental damage and various status effects; namely Silence, Blind, Itchy and reducing Strength, Defense, Magic, Magic Defense, Accuracy, and Evasion by 1 level. It is best to protect the party by equipping Ribbons. Anima is weak against Holy, so a Warrior's Excalibur and Yuna's Trainer with Kogoro Holy deal heavy damage. Dark Knight's Darkness ability also works well. Another effective strategy is to use any special dressphere to render the fight somewhat trivial.
