======================================================

=Start of Battle=
Start at any Paradigm except All For One (COM/SYN/SYN) so that you can switch to it when the battle starts to: A) Jump start Sazh and Hope's buffing/ATB gauges, and B) to get the first Paradigm Shift animation over with.
Proudclad is immune to all debuffs, so Fang and Vanille will be sitting this out. That said, no need to use Libra since Proudclad has no elemental affinities/vulnerabilities either.

=Notes=
Proudclad's regular attack is single target, but its laser attack can hit targets within a radius. So have Lightning focus on physical attacks to keep her away from Sazh and Hope.
Queue up only 4 Attacks in a string, instead of 5, so that Lightning doesn't perform a backflip when she lands. This may not seem like a big deal, but when you're using Potions, those backflips are a big waste of time. Wouldn't want any party members in critical condition to K.O. because Lightning just HAD to backflip before using that Potion.
This battle basically follows the NCU strategy of not Staggering Proudclad until going for the kill. If Proudclad is still alive after a Stagger, it Deactivates Limiters to buff itself and uses the deadly Retaliatory Strike. In that case, you'd need a Sentinel to weather the storm before you could resume offense.
With the party's current stats, damage output is really poor. So for this fight, the party will mainly be priming the Chain Gauge with COM attacks in order to reach the maximum Stagger Time Limit of 45s. From there, Odin will deal the damage needed to get the kill.
To get the instant kill, aim to A) fill the Gestalt Gauge to max before going into Gestalt Mode, B) use Lightning Strike to get in front of Proudclad, then spam Razor Gale, C) raise the Chain to 800-840% before Zantetsuken, D) reduce Proudclad's HP to 40% (~600,000HP)

=Other=
Odin, I like you, but I've used you too much in the playthrough already, lol. Still, it's good for showing that Eidolons aren't as useless as they seem.
