Introduction

This is a quick guide the the tactic I used to defeat Ruby Weapon. The fight was incredibly easy, so much so that I only took a very small amount of damage on Rubys first (and only) turn.

For it I used Cloud, Cid & Barret but this tactic will work with literally any combination of characters since it doesn't require any limits to be used. For easiness sake though I'll write it designed for the 3 characters I used.

Materia Needed

2x Master Summon (grind one out in the Northern Crater and recieve on from defeating Emerald Weapon)

2x W- Summon (Master this when your grinding out your first Master Summon)

3x HP Plus

3x MP Plus

1x W-Item

1x Enemy Skill (All you need is Big Guard)

1x Phoenix (Mastered should't be needed in this fight but you probably should have had it for the Emerald Fight)

1x Final Attack (Mastered)

Items & Equip Needed

99 Megalixirs

99 Dazers

3x Characters Ultimate Weapons

3x Zeidrich

You can steal 1 Zeidrich from Rude each time you encounter him on Disc 2. It's worth taking the time to steal these as they're pretty much the best Armours on the game. If you cant get 3 of them Mystile will do.

Equip any accessories you want for this.

Materia Setup

Cloud: W-Summon, Master Summon, HP/MP Plus,Enemy Skill.

Barret: W-Summon, Master Summon, HP/MP Plus.

Cid: W-Item, Phoenix, Final Attack, HP/MP Plus.

The Fight

Begin by going in with Cloud and Barret already dead. Just get in a random encounter and have Cid kill them.

Once the fight begins Ruby will immediately bring out his tentacles. Have Cid cast Phoenix to revive your other party members.

Then have Cloud cast Big Guard, have Barret 2x cast Knight of the Round on Ruby (ignore the tentacles, and have Cid use a Megalixir on the party and a Dazers on Ruby. this turn must go in this exact order.

You might take a small amount of damage in this round but dont worry about it. After Cids turn you'll be back at full power and Ruby will be paralyzed and won't be able to do anything. You can completely ignore the tentacles too since they're controlled by Ruby they cant act while he's paralyzed.

Then just play every round with Cloud & Barret 2x summoning KOTR on Ruby and with Cid finishing the turn with Megalixir and Dazers. You'll constantly have enough MP to copntinue casting and Ruby should be paralyzed the entire fight and won't get a turn after his first.

And just incase anything goes wrong you've got Phoenix - Final Attack so just revive and start the process again. However if you follow the guide this shouldn';t happen but it never hurts to be safe.

Easy peasy. Let me know if you've used this an it works or if you've got an even easier tactic!

Hope this helps :)
