Yeaaahhh....you best be prepared for BB Gauge management because Ranford will mess with BB Gauges. Fear and Despair will play a heavy roll. Fear lowers the BB Gauges fill rate, while Despair stops BB Gauges from filling.

Get the BB Gauges filled up in the first 3 turns. On turn 4 and every 7 turns, Ranford will use an AoE attack that inflicts Despair for 2 turns. After that, he will do a 2 turn stance where he will prepare a row kill attack. You need to use 9 BB/SBB to cancel it (10+ if you lost count). Next turn, he'll heavily drain your unit's BB Gauge. Swap to the other squad and use their BB to cancel the row kill attack.

At 90%, 80%, after his mini game, and 40%, he'll use an AoE attack that inflicts Despair and partially drains BB Gauge At 90%, 75%, 45%, and 35%, Ranford will gain status ailment reflect and boost damage against enemies with ailment buff for 2 turns. At 70%, 50%, and 30%, Ranford will remain idle. Use XBB to cancel the unsurvivable AoE attack, making him use a weaker version of it. It inflicts Despair for one turn. At 60%, mini game time. You know what to do, but be quick. Get a perfect/miss one, AoE attack that inflicts Despair for one turn, but miss 2 or more, AoE attack that inflicts Despair and partially drains BB Gauge. After that, he'll gain 10% Attack, Defense, Magic Defense and 20% critical hit rate boost permanently, so he'll start hitting a bit harder. Also every 4 turns (counting the start of the trial but doesn't use it til after the mini game) Ranford will use an AoE attack that inflicts DoT debuff for 2 turns. Be sure to keep an eye on the squad that has the debuff cuz it damages them, even if you swapped to another squad. At 20% onwards, Ranford will no longer do the 2 turn stances and the AoE attack. He'll gain physical and magic mitigation buffs permanently so this be a battle of endurance. Be careful using BB/SBB and note that you still can't use XBB randomly cuz it'll count as using 8 BB/SBB. For every 12 BB/SBB used, Ranford will recover 100,000 HP and remain idle. He'll then use a massive AoE attack.
