No Menu Challenge - Part 32: Nova Dragon - Final Fantasy IX

This was the hardest boss in the entire challenge.
The reason I consider Nova Dragon the hardest boss is because it was the only boss that required a pretty significant amount of level grinding to beat (I put the levels gained since the last video in parentheses below). The reason he's so hard is because he mostly uses multi-target attacks, which can be difficult to recover from.
In addition to the level grinding, I had to do some other preparations as well. I made sure both Eiko and Amarant were very close to Trance before the battle. Having both of them Trance early was very helpful because Double Cura is needed to be able to fully recover after a multi-target attack, and Amarant's strength buff while Tranced makes Ultima Swords hit for 9999. I also got Quina's frog count up to 190 before the fight. This made Frog Drop deal enough damage to kill Nova Dragon with three Tranced Ultima Swords and three Frog Drops. Getting Frog Drop all the way to 9999 wouldn't have made a difference.
The Tent was only used to make him unable to cast Twister. He'll only start using that attack when he drops below half health, but it was successful in making him waste one of his turns (at 2:26).
Other than that all I could do was try to deal as much damage as possible as quickly as possible and hope Nova Dragon would use Psychokinesis (his only single-target attack) a lot.
The party's levels:
Eiko: 36 (+8)
Zidane: 39 (+4)
Quina: 44 (+11)
Amarant: 40 (+6)
