Academia (400 AF): Fighting Zenobia

Academia (400AF) is under siege! Time to show these artificial fal'Cie who's boss!
 
Zenobia Boss Fight Strategy:
 
Zenobia can't be damaged until the four tentacles around him are taken out. Use Ravagers to quickly stagger the tentacles, then slam in with your strongest Commandos. Use a similar strategy on Zenobia himself, and bring in your Saboteur (if you have one) to inflict some serious status problems before that tentacle barrier goes back up. You've gotta get your hits in quick though, otherwise you'll be fighting that wall of tentacles again before you know it.
