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

=Start of Battle=
- No need to use Libra on the group of Numidias since their Intel will be completely revealed in 10 seconds tops. This is because the more enemies that are killed and/or hit, the more Intel about them gets reveals. You will want to use Libra on Syphax, though, to reveal the debuffs it's susceptible to so that Fang doesn't waste time casting every debuff to figure it out.
- Set up Protect immediately so not to be overwhelmed by the little, but frequent, pecks. Shell can be useful too once Syphax comes out. But ideally, Syphax should be staggered asap so you won't have to worry about any of its attacks.
- Putting up EnElements at the start of battle is useful so you don't need to worry about applying them after Syphax comes out. If not controlling the Synergist though, you'll have no choice but to stick Imperil on Syphax first to render it weak to all elements so that the Synergist AI would then apply EnElements.

=Notes=
- Numidias are weak against wind damage, so I specifically chose a character with access to Aeroga in order to spam it. The only characters with access to it are Hope and Sazh (Fang being the third).
- Hope and Sazh are both good Synergists. However Hope doesn't have access to Vigilance but does learn Veil, while Sazh has no access to Veil but does have Vigilance. For this battle, Hope has an edge over Sazh since Veil is more important than Vigilance due to Syphax's ability to cast debuffs on the party.
- I set up Lightning as a RAV instead of a COM so that Fang's Blitz get upgraded to Ravage. The idea would've been for Lightning to use the AoE Thundaga while Fang Ravages. But for this particular attempt, she didn't use Thundaga even once, unlike previous attempts. (Probably a good things since those AoEs really hurt my framerate, lol)
- Once you've killed 20 Numidias, one of the survivors will transform into Syphax. You'll be able to keep track how close you are to having Syphax appear since Numidias go from "A" to "Z".
- When it's out, you'll need to accomplish 2 things: A) clear the field of Numidias so the Saboteur can focus debuffs on Syphax, and B) Stagger Syphax as soon as possible to keep it stunned so it won't have the chance to call in another batch of Numidias.
- Syphax is susceptible to Deprotect, Deshell, Imperil, Poison, Slow, and Curse. Fang has an edge over Vanille in this case since (of the primary SABs) only Fang learns Slow and Curse while only Vanille learns Poison. Slow and Curse are much more vital to keep Syphax in check, and Poison isn't as necessary since the party can do an immense amount of damage without it.

=Other=
- I don’t really know if this still qualifies as “low level” since some Stage 9 abilities have been unlocked. Without it, I’d go with Sazh/Vanille/Fang and have Vanille learn Veil at SYN Stage 2.
