Brynhildr

I'm stuck on this Eidolon fight right now, I've libra'd him, found out what he likes, i've tried going the whole fight just applying buffs, I've tried the whole fight building his chain, I've tried a balanced mix, but in the end I always lose with jsut a small amount of gestalt guage left to get and it's really aggravating.

Managed to finally get it after a few more attempts. Jesus Eidolon fights are always really close for me on doom time.

sometimes it can hjelp to set the ATB speed to slow so you can react to their attacks by a quick paradigm shift

It wasn't an issue of dying to damage, I can manage that well enough, I just had an issue getting the gestalt guage high enough.

Each Eidolon fight has its own quirks, but the general theme that crosses all of them is building gestalt by building and maintaining the chain gauge. If you let the chain empty, you lose out on gestalt when you start building it again.

For Brynhildr specifically, it's best if you buff at least Haste for Sazh and Vanille, and inflict at least Imperil so you can aim RAV attacks at multiple weaknesses.

Your AI party members contribute best to building gestalt when they are Ravagers. Your lead character often has other good ways to contribute, such as by being in Sentinel during certain big attacks, or by using SAB instead of RAV for chain building. In the Brynhildr fight, there's even a way to leverage Sazh's COM for extremely fast gestalt building, but it's something of an advanced technique (buff Sazh with Enfrost, then use specifically Attack-Blitz strings).
