*Additional Notes*
----------------------------
To unlock the Phoenix summon fight in the demo, you first need to unlock and beat all of Chadley's other combat simulator missions. The most important part about beating this fight quickly is to not let Phoenix get to half health before you're able to finish it off while it's staggered. This is because at half health, if it isn't staggered, Phoenix will use its Rebirth Flame ability which does roughly 1200 damage to all party members and instantly summons all three of its minions at the same time. This is also why on the first stagger I make sure not to use too many abilities. This keeps its health high enough that it won't dip to half during the second phase and saves my strongest abilities for the second stagger, where I can finish it off in one go.

As for the specific details of what's happening in the video, start by getting Tifa to Unbridled Strength level 2, which is needed to increase the stagger damage when you eventually stagger Phoenix. This is also why I gave her the First Strike materia. Switch to Barret and use his Overcharge, then his basic attack until you have enough ATB to do three commands with him. Switch to Cloud and do the same thing. This gives them the three synergy energy blocks they need to do the Partners in Pain synergy ability on the first Phoenix stagger. Now finish off the enemies that Phoenix has summoned around the stage.

Once all the enemies are beaten, Phoenix will go into a pressured state which is when you want to use Blizzara twice with whoever has available ATB. This puts Phoenix into stagger mode, where you should switch to Tifa and do two unique (triangle button) attacks to increase the stagger damage to 210%, then use Cloud and Barret's Partners in Pain synergy ability which will give them both limit level 2. Don't use their limits yet if you have them, you'll need those to finish Phoenix off more easily on its second stagger phase. While they're doing their synergy ability, do one Divekick command with Tifa, then beat on Phoenix with her basic attacks until she has enough ATB to get back to Unbridled Strength level 2 for the second phase. Don't do too much damage or you'll accidentally trigger Phoenix's Rebirth Flame ability when it hits half health. Use Barret to heal the party at this point if they need it, and have Cloud summon Ramuh to help you deal a little extra damage to the enemies in the second phase. If you summon Ramuh too early in the fight he won't be available for the second, stronger wave of enemies, and he might do too much damage to Phoenix early on.

Second phase is basically just making sure that everyone keeps their ATB bars up and defeating the three new enemies as quickly as possible. By this point a couple of characters should have their limit breaks already, and if they don't, try to use them to stagger the enemies or take a little extra damage to get them there. If any of your party members die before the second stagger, it's doubtful that you'll be able to do enough damage to finish Phoenix off which means you'll trigger Rebirth Flame and most likely die, so don't take too many risks.

Once all of the enemies are defeated and Phoenix is pressured again, use two Blizzaras to stagger it like before, then do two unique (triangle button) attacks with Tifa to increase its stagger damage to 210% again. Now use any limit breaks that you have available, making sure to use the level 2 versions with Cloud and Barret (Ascension and Catastrophe) and use any additional high damage abilities in the meantime such as Divekick, Braver or Maximum Fury. This should be enough to finish off Phoenix before the stagger wears off, which gets you your full might win and the Phoenix summon materia if you don't already have it. Thanks for watching!
