Can be blocked with [[Guard]], dodged with Jump, [[Dodge Roll]], or [[Sliding Dash]], or negated using the invincibility frames of [[Leaf Bracer]] or a Special Attack. It has a slightly shorter pause beforehand compared to Stepping Mow Down.

Sephiroth's attacks are quite powerful, but many of them can be negated using the invincibility frames of [[Leaf Bracer]] or Sora's Special Attacks. [[Sonic Blade]] and [[Strike Raid]] are most reliable for this, and Strike Raid is particularly good at hitting Sephiroth from a distance. In order to provide for maximum defense and restoration, [[Once More]], [[Second Chance]], [[Dodge Roll]], [[Superglide]], at least one [[MP Rage]], and in ''Final Mix'', [[Leaf Bracer]] should be equipped (but sadly Sonic Blade's invincibility being only on the first attack limits its use severely, and it is not recommended to use Strike Raid's entire sequence due to the said invincibility changes). While [[Guard]] can be used against several of Sephiroth's techniques, it is not as reliable for defense as using a Special Attack due to Sephiroth's Rapid Mow Down and Stepping Mow Down, which telegraph similarly but require different timing to successfully block. [[Curaga]] and [[Aeroga]] should be set as shortcuts, as well as several [[Elixir]]s or [[Hi-Potion]]s in order to recover from Heartless Angel. Sora should equip a Keyblade that boosts his MP and magic, such as [[Ultima Weapon]] or [[Diamond Dust]], as well as armor that boosts his HP, defense, and resistance to the Dark element, such as [[Crystal Crown]], [[Gaia Bangle]], or [[Omega Arts]]. Sephiroth's blockable techniques all have maximum recoil, so dodging or negating them is preferable to blocking unless Sora is equipped with the Ultima Weapon or [[Divine Rose]]. Sora should focus on keeping his MP up so that he can quickly heal whenever his HP gets low, and performing a Special Attack to deal damage if he has excess MP. In ''Final Mix'' and ''HD 1.5 ReMIX'', [[Hurricane Blast]], [[Slapshot]], and [[Combo Master]] are useful for dealing large amounts of damage to Sephiroth when it comes to attacking Sephiroth head on with basic combos.

In the first phase, Sephiroth will walk around the arena, occasionally performing Rapid Mow Down, Stepping Mow Down, or Figa Wall. It is possible to hit him with Keyblade combos by jumping towards him to dodge his Rapid Mow Down, but it is more reliable to focus on Strike Raid or Sonic Blade. If [[Scan]] is equipped, Sephiroth's HP Gauge will not appear to deplete at first even though he is taking damage.

|Can be dodged or deflected with [[Guard]] and [[Counterguard]], which must be activated more than once throughout the combo, or interrupted with an aerial combo if the initial hits are dodged. In the final phase, Sephiroth will warp behind Sora before slashing to evade Sora's Guard, and leap around after to prevent Counterguard from connecting. Keeping Sora's back to the edge of the arena will help prevent Sephiroth flanking him.
