Walkthrough

1
Form 1: Yunalesca uses a weak normal attack that removes buffs (except Reflect, Regen, Auto-Life) and Absorb, which heals her for half the target's max HP. She counters physical attacks with Blind, magic with Silence, and others with Sleep. Reflecting these counters is possible. Consider casting Reflect on the party early to mitigate counters and later spells.
2
Form 2: Yunalesca transforms and uses Hellbiter, inflicting Zombie on the entire party. Do not remove this status, as it's crucial for Form 3. While Zombified, Yunalesca casts Regen and Cura on your party, which damage you due to the Zombie ailment. If Reflect is active, these spells will bounce back at her. Dispel Regen if it lands on her. Her normal attack counter still dispels buffs, and Absorb now targets only Aeons.
3
Form 3: Yunalesca casts Mega Death on her first turn, instantly KOing characters without Zombie or Deathproof armor. This is why keeping Zombie is vital. She retains Hellbiter, Regen, and her normal attack counter. She upgrades Cura to Curaga and introduces Mind Blast, which can inflict Confusion and Curse on Aeons. She can also use Osmose on Aeons and uses Hellbiter more freely.

Tips

Holy magic damages Yunalesca significantly, though she is not weak to it. Aim for 9,999 damage with strong mages like Yuna or Lulu.
If Rikku's Overdrive is full, steal a Stamina Tablet and mix it with a Potion for Mega Vitality, doubling party HP.
Keeping buffs on your characters is difficult due to her normal attack dispelling them.
Consider keeping Reflect active to bounce back healing spells and some of her attacks.
The Sun Crest for Tidus' Celestial Weapon is found in a chest that appears after the fight by going down the stairs at the far end of the room. Do this before leaving Zanarkand to avoid a difficult Dark Bahamut encounter.
