If you revive Rosa first, you can free Kain for the attacking role. It may not cause so much damage as Edge, but you get to keep a safeguard. Plus, I believe there's a Osmose step somewhere in the battle phase when he's only using Big Bang. That should be your opening for any buffing/debuffing. 

Also, when he starts spamming Meteor, he lays off quite a lot from Big Bang as well, and has a tendency to use Osmose more too. Burn through your Elixirs if you must. 

Do you not understand what I've been trying to tell you?

Meteor kills me outright and so does Big Bang!

He uses Meteor right after Big Bang, I think, but I don't know when I can't do one thing about it to even remotely prepare myself.

Black Hole = Defenseless Kain

Big Bang = No way to restore buffs

Meteor = LOL, I'm completely unfair!

That's why I'm saying that ressurecting Rosa is a top priority when you get to the Meteor stage. 

You need Shell, even if he constantly dispels it with Black Hole. And if you can keep Slow up then it's a plus.

He follows a strict battle pattern that you should have figured out now, if you have been dying that much. Make use of the gaps between attacks to prep your strategy. I just don't know what else to tell you, because I've already went with you all that I did on the battle. 

All that I've figured out is he uses Meteor when his HP drops enough.

But the thing is I have no CLUE when that is.

I've told you already a couple of replys back

It's around the 30K HP mark, which is 20% of his total HP 

I have no CLUE when he has 30K HP.

I don't know, everything else in this game has been manageable, but this is just.... for god's sake, he has two moves that can kill my entire party.

Well, usually for this kind of bosses, I keep a mental check of how much damage I've done to them. 

How much damage do you do per average to him? 

Anywhere from 4500-8786.

So, worst case scenario 27 attacks, best case scenario 14 attacks. 

Factoring an average of 20 attacks, and considering that you'll have at least that same amount of turns for healing/buffing/reviving, you'll probably be hitting the 30K threshold somewhere down the 40th turn mark.
