<p>It's recommended that you have a group healer (Frog or Robo) to heal the party periodically after taking significant target or AOE damage.  Remember that Dual Tech healings are extremely good, especially Ayla and Frog's '''Slurp Kiss''' which only costs two MP. Attack with your best multi-enemy techs when the arms are both alive, such as '''Lightning 2''', '''Fire 2''', etc. or even '''Frog Squash'''/'''Luminaire''' if you have them.</p>

<p>Attack with your best single-enemy techs when only the head is alive.  Chrono's '''Spincut''' is a good attack, as well as Frog's '''Leap Slash'''. Ayla is a ''goddess'' with her physical attacks and '''Cat Attack''', but the rest of the party members don't have many effective attacks. Chrono and Ayla's dual tech '''Falcon Hit''' is an excellent way to kill the arms because it will hit both of them for around 900-1200 damage (note: in the DS version the hands appear to have only about 1000 HP, so this can one shot both of them). When the arms are revived they should be weaker than before so just a few techs should finish them off.  Try to use physical attacks more than magic, but if you've got powerful magic then go right ahead.  Dual techs, especially with Ayla and Crono are a good choice.  If you choose heavy attacks and choose them quickly, this battle should be a breeze for you.  After a couple rounds of defeating the arms, you can say goodbye to Giga Gaia.</p>

<p>Second Strategy: If you have it, you can just plow through the hand attacks and use 3D-attack. If you do, make sure to use the gold stud accessory on Ayla to save a lot of mp.
Second Strategy: If you have it, you can just plow through the hand attacks and use 3D-attack on the head. Doing so kills him in 4-5 hits. If you do, make sure to use the gold stud accessory on Ayla to save a lot of MP.
 
Third Strategy: With '''Crono''', '''Marle''', and '''Lucca''' in the party all around level 38, use their '''Triple Tech''' of '''Delta Force''' 6 times back to back defeating '''Giga Gaia'''.
