How to Beat Emperor of Zoldaad

[1] Equip Physical and Magic Counter.

Emperor of Zoldaad Equip Physical and Magical Counter

Since this boss fight lets the opponent take a lot of turns, it is a must to equip counter abilities to maximize the damage dealt to enemies. Unfortunately, the boss and his minions have both Physical and Magic attacks, one type of counter won't cut it.

Equip both Physical and Magic Counter if you can. Physical Counter always works on the soldiers, as they can only do Physical attacks. Emperor of Zoldaad, on the other hand, uses both, so grabbing a Magic Counter is also useful.

[2] Prepare Various Defensive Spells.

Emperor of Zoldaad Protectga

Most of Emperor of Zoldaad's attacks are Magic: Hell's Pillar, Bio, and Gravity, so using Shellga is very useful. Protectga can also work if you have trouble dealing with the soldiers very quickly. Esuna is also useful to remove Poison ailment from affected members, as both the emperor and his soldiers can inflict it.

[3] Do Not Disregard His Soldiers.

While the soldiers of the Emperor of Zoldaad are fairly weak, they are annoying to deal with since they always come in pairs or trios. If left alone, they can whittle down your party with their physical and poison-inflicting attacks.
