Okay, so how the hell do you beat this guy ? I have Lightning, Hope and Vanille on.
I have Lightning as Commando, Hope as Medic and Vanille as Ravager. I get all the heads down easy, but after that I'm screwed. He always does that destrudo thing which kills Lighthing instantly ! I've been stuck on this guy since Friday, and I don't know what to do haha. Any tips that can help me out ?

-Use Lightning, Snow and Hope.
-If you have any Shrouds, use it before going in.
-If you have any CP, use it to raise your HP, magic, strength etc..
-Go to the store, and I forgot which store it was but look for something that says Resist physical damage by 10% or something like that. Buy that and then equip it to Lightning. This is a big help. Also buy alot potions and phoenix down if you don't have any.
-Don't forget to use Libra in the beginning of the match to find out his weak points.
-Now for Paradigms, set it up like this:
Lightning- Med Snow- Sent Hope- Syn <--Set this is your default. Basically what you do is make Hope cast protection on everyone while Snow distracts the boss. Use Lightning to heal everyone. Once everyone is all protected up, switch to this:
Lightning- Rav Snow- Comm Hope- Med <---Have Lightning and Snow attack one face at a time. Start off with the Left faces (They tend to do more damage) Once you stagger one of the faces, switch to this:
Lightning- Rav Snow- Comm Hope- Rav <--- Once you see someone turn yellow, switch back Hope to Medic or use potions.
-Now, once all the faces are gone your going to want to stagger him fast. Make sure everyones shields are still up, if not switch back to Med/Sent/Syn.
Once everyones shields are up, make everyone attack at once (Rav/Comm/Rav) Try to get as much stagger damage. Keep using potions, or keep switching Hope to Med.
-When you see him charging up for Destrudo, you have about a minute or so to attack him before he pulls out the deadly attack. Make sure everyone is at full health at this point and attack him with everything you have.
- I had troubles at this point where Lightning would just die after the first destrudo. I found a way around this. Once he uses destrudo, make sure Lightning is up to his face, attacking him. By doing this, Lightning will take less damage.
- Once you see his life about at a quarter, get him staggered for the last time. Keep using Rav/Comm/Rav and Rav/Comm/Med (Keep switching when someones health falls)
Then Summon Odin once he is staggered. You should then have no problem from here on.

GOODLUCK ! Hope this helps.
