So cute and cuddly
I'm at 6AM on Day 12, and the only things left alive are Aeronite and Earth Eaters. Killing them all is, in fact, the only thing left to do at this point before endgame.

My issue is this: I cannot stagger Aeronite before he gets fed up and runs. I've never even got him into the red as far as staggering goes. It doesn't help that his Magnet doesn't have a clear wind up, so I tend to get dragged in and roared at which hurts like hell no matter how much I guard. On the other hand, I have like 5 ethers, so EP isn't an issue.

Given that the alternative is extincting Earth Eaters (gently caress those guys and their "no I don't care that you're blocking, you are taking all the damage and debuffs" attitude), and I have a whole day ahead of me to burn, what sort of setup would be recommended? I'm on Normal, have the XIII and XIII-2 imports and the FFVII DLC from a pre-order.

I find that mixing a few uses of Ruin in when staggering someone is particularly helpful, especially if it has Stagger Duration bonuses.
