He is in my view pretty challening. I want to ask what level does it require to defeat Sephiroth? At least to keep your HP up. At least alive.

from what i hear, its possible to kill him when you level 40, but i trained till 70 to make it easier...
basically, when you fight him, study his attack patterns and make up a strategy to counter it...
well a basic one is at the start, jump and normal glide towards him, he will do this attack that charges forward then jumps back, you glide and when hes just gone pass you while jumping back, combo him...
after 4 hits he disappears, so prepare to dodge roll after the combo...
after you get one of his health bars down, he will go crazy and teleport strike you, just dodge roll around the centre of the arena, after each of his teleport strikes lock onto him, then after the 4rd or 4th teleport strike, he will move to the outer edge to cast sins harvest, if you locked onto him then dodge roll to him and attack him before he finishes casting, its easier with vortex ability...
then he will do omnislash every once in a while, during this, cast curaga and aeroga on yourself before he starts, then time your movements and dodge roll into him the moment he tries to strike you, this way you will avoid damage and cause damage to him at the same time...
basically just attack when he casts sins harvest or when you get the chance, around this part of the battle i just went psycho on him...
thats my strategy, use it or make your own...

Just to be safe...don't go near him....AT ALL. And it's better if you were, say....about 80 and over? I'm still afraid to fight him..bastard has killed me too many times.
At level 80 at least so you have the defense to withstand some of his attacks.
70, at least, to be safe.
Try a few strategies. Don't worry. Some people don't even beat him at level 100.

it took me level 100 to beat him and it was still hard
I would use the strategy Dual Wieldergave you.But there is one attack he did not tell you about. After the omnislash, Sepheroth teleports around, not attacking. After this he goes to the middle of the arena and calls down these meteors. Try to dodge them, but with my experiance of them you WILL take damage. After a while the meteors explode. He then throws a spirit bomb-like(dragon ball z referance) thing at you, which if you dodge roll, is very easy to dodge. After that he will run around the arena creating energy balls,don't try to dodge them because they home in on you, and then spiral slashing from this point on he is very easy to beat.
i beat sephiroth at level 60 on expert mode, but i had the ultimate weapon then thats why i beat him so easily ^_^ but he was kinda hard though when he pulled on his omni-slash and his sin guardian angel
i use full attacks on him i kept on getting close up to him n attacking him n every time u us 1 of his special moves i use Sonic Blade n Strike Raid just be carful about timing the moves thts how i beat him at lvl65 expert mode
i just kept on usin all of my specail techs cuz i have 100 ability pts

Getting near him usually results in bad things...long range attacking is the way to go, IMO.
NO SEPHIROTH DOEANT COME OUT IN CoM HEHEHEHE THAT WOULD BE DUMB
Sephiroth's fight can be essentialy divided into 3 phases. Each phase lasts 2 of Sephiroth's HP bars (the first is invisible). The abilities you MUST have equipped are two MP Rages, MP Haste, ONE combo Plus (Sephiroth teleports after 4 hits), Guard, eventually Arcanum and last but not least Dodge Roll. A few Elixirs are nice just to be on the safe side but you probably won't be needing them with this startegy.
In the first phase Sephiroth uses a quick slash, a jumping sword sweep and summons three pillars of fire. If you want to just retreat for a while you'll notice an attack pattern that keeps repeating which consists of a slash, a jump towards sora, a quick slash, one or two jumping sword slashes, another quick slash then summon the fire. Your best bet is to Dodge Roll those sweeping attacks TOWARDS Sephiroth then get your four-hit combo in as soon as he gets back. He will always teleport behind you and immediately use a jumping sword sweep which you can dodge roll under and start hitting using your four hit combo again. This should get you through the first phase relatively easily although he will sometimes hit you no matter how good you get at dodge rolling. The simple solution is to cast Aero and/or Cure often when you feel you're in peril.
In the second phase Sephiroth uses all the above and two new moves: Heartless Angel (yes I know it sounds like Sin Harcest but it ISN'T, the name of the technique can be found at the official Final Mix site) and Omnislash (the succession of fast blows with a great finisher). He will always use Heartless Angel after Omnislash so beware. Sephiroth will announce this phase by taunting Sora ("Come On!"). The first notable difference will be that he runs and will take the initiative rarely giving you time to heal. He will start by running towards you but instead of taking him head on like a moron retreat to one side of the arena. He will teleport himself behind Sora once he gets close but on the other side of the arena, meaning that if you're badly positionned you will be skewered by the infamous Heartless Angel. If you did it well, he will teleport just next to you and give you ages to interrupt the lethal attack. Hit him four times then he will teleport behind sora and begin the same series of attacks as in the first phase but frequently inserting a Heartless Angel and less often an Omnislash. If you want to be on the safe side, try to stay on the middle of the arena so that no matter which end of the arena Sephiroth teleports to do his attack you will be within dodge rolling distance to interrupt him.Omnislash is another attack you want to look out for which he announces by saying "Come Power!" or "Prepare yourself!". He will only actually hit sora every 3 swipes so if you keep count and block the corresponding strikes you should get out of this attack unhurt. If you don't want to bother timing it right the best you can do is keep healing while he does it (hence the vital need of MP Rage). After the finisher (Sephiroth hovers in the air then strikes down, just block after he says "No more games") he will teleport at the other end of the arena to do Heartless Angel so be ready to dodge roll towards him to prevent an untimely death (yours in this case). This should go for 2 HP bars then when you begin to see the green one he will power up and summon an aura (a very nastly one at that).
Phase 3 introduces a whole new array of devastating attacks attacks as well as powering up the previous ones. The first thing worth ntoing is the abundance of dark balls of energz Sephiroth will create by doing anything from running to the basic sword slashes. In a way it means his weapons have a longer reach than ever. He will also call these dark balls to circle and close in on Sora which you can dodge roll or jump out of. If you just ignore the damage (Aero is vital here) you can get 3 hits in which will be just enough to make him teleport behind you and do it again. This is also your best opportunity to use Arcanum. Sephiroth always starts phase 3 by summoning a circle of dark balls to close in on sora. Once he does that, he will proceed to summon Meteor Shower. This attack is really annoying when on the lower levels because it will hit xou at least once at a rate of 99%. When he summons the meteors you should Glide or keep jumping to avoid the large shockwaves . The meteors will then proceed to circle Sephiroth (he is immune to all attack just like in Omnislash) either in random directions, in which case you will definitely be hit at least twice, or anti-clockwise in which case you should run and dodge roll in the same direction as them to avoid being hit. After a few seconds of this the meteors explode then sephiroth sends down that great sphere of energy he had been gathering all along. You can avoid damage from this one by dodge rolling BEHIND Sephiroth AFTER he throws the thing (you have around 2 seconds to do so.). Now all hell breaks loose. You will notice rather quickly that Sephiroth has a new sword slash which makes him spin like a cyclone that is fast, powerful and hard to dodge (he drives you crazy by saying "Dodge This!!", the bastard). The tempo of the attacks are what what make this battle teeth grinding. He will jump around, use a sword swipe, then teleport (or not) behind Sora going Dodge This all the time. Aero is a REALLY vital necessity here. You might also find yourself swept away in this frenzy of attacks then suddenly realise that he's on the other side of the arena charging the ever-feared Heartless Angel. Try your best to make sure the you're within dodge rolling (or super gliding if you have it) distance to ANY point of the arena within seconds because if not, you're dead. Speaking of dead, Sephiroth still uses Omnislash, more powerful than ever, but the real bummer is that he will frequently use two of them consecutively. As a result, you barely have time to recover from the first before he goes and does it again, which is in turn, of course, followed by a Heartless Angel attack. After using Omnislash, Sephiroth will summon the dark balls again to close in on sora then teleport into the middle of the arena to do Meteor Shower. Thus the circle is complete and the whole third phase mostly consists of Sora healing himself and getting a few combos in when he can. You might want to make frequent use of Arcanum when you can afford it (which will often be the case given all those MP you gain thanks to MP Rage) as it makes you invulnerable (but not to Heartless Angel I've discovered) and gets a decent load of hits in. Of course, if you have enough strength you can just go Arcanum crazy and spare a few elixirs/ethers to afford doing the combo until death (his, with any luck) parts you from Sephiroth.
