This Airbuster Boss Guide was done on NORMAL difficulty and it is part of my FF7 Remake 100% Platinum Walkthrough, which is a detailed guide to complete all achievements in the most efficient way.

NORMAL Airbuster Strategy:
Before the fight, you can use keycards to remove parts from Airbuster and make him weaker.
The best parts to remove are without a doubt the AI Programming Cores, they slow down Airbuster's attack speed and his overall decision making. He'll use abilities less frequently if you remove his AI Programming Cores, most importantly his Finger Laser stun ability, which is quite annoying.
This is why we remove all 4 of them before the fight.
M-Units don't have any impact on the fight.
Big Bomber Shells are not a problem because I'll show you how to completely counter that ability in this guide.
Keep in mind that my execution was not perfect on this video, as you'll see I sometimes didn't do exactly as instructed in the info panels, this was done in one take while going through my FF7 Walkthrough. So when in doubt, follow the instructions on the panel and you'll wreck this boss easily without even using a single item or cure.
If you liked this guide, please leave and like and subscribe. I'll be doing guides for ALL important bosses in FF7 Remake, it's a lot of work, so I need your support ;-)
Thank you for watching and see you in the next one!

I thought it said, "NO DAMAGE," I was about to say, "Sir YOU LIE.!"

[@JamesGuides]

No damage is possible on hard mode with the right setup. But in normal mode I really don't see how ^^
