Ultima uses the following TP abilities:
From 70%-100% HP:
Wire Cutter: Single-target physical damage (~400 to PLD), absorbed by Utsusemi (2 shadows)
Particle Shield: Strong Defense Boost. Can be dispelled
Chemical Bomb: Cone Attack Elegy and Slow (stronger than Haste). Remove with two Erases
From 40-70% HP:
Nuclear Waste: Causes a status effect that reduces all elemental resistances by 50 in area of effect. This is followed up by one of the following elemental cone attacks, all of which inflict 490 damage if unresisted:
Smoke Discharger: Earth damage and petrification for ten to twenty seconds
Hydro Canon: Water damage and poison
Cryo Jet: Ice damage and paralyze
Turbofan: Wind damage and silence
Flame Thrower: Fire damage and Plague
High-Tension Discharger: Thunder damage and stun
From 20-40% HP:
Equalizer: AoE heavy physical damage (300-400 to Paladin, 600-900 HP to others). Absorbed by Utsusemi.
Also uses Particle Shield and Chemical Bomb
From 0-20% HP:
Antimatter: Heavy "ranged" physical attack (300-900 HP) with a five second charge time; can likely be Stunned. It ignores Utsusemi and Blink, but damage can vary greatly.
Still uses Particle Shield.
Uses many of Ultima's attacks, including some new abilities:
Antimatter: Single-target Light magic damage. Ignores Utsusemi.
Armor Buster: Heavy AoE Light magical damage + Weight, used starting at 40%.
Chemical Bomb: Frontal cone AoE Elegy & Slow II effects.
Citadel Buster: Massive AoE Light magical damage. At 19% it will count backwards from 20 to 1 then at this time everyone inside the room will die unless you are able to make it past the safezone (doorway).
Magic damage reduction gear significantly reduces the damage taken. A Blue Mage using Diffusion + Saline Coat, will also significantly reduce the damage taken. The Corsair Magus's Roll is also very good for this same reason. Stacking Saline Coat, Magus's Roll, Shell V, and Magic Defense Bonus gear will almost reduce all damage from Citadel Buster.
Citadel Buster can be stunned, however timing the cast is pivotal.
Dissipation: AoE Dispel-All (except food) + Terror used at 79%, 59%, 39%, and 19%. Stunnable.
Equalizer: Heavy AoE physical damage. Blocked by Utsusemi.
Holy II: Single-target Light magic damage. Blocked by Utsusemi.
Nuclear Waste: AoE Elemental Resistance reduction (-50), followed by one of the following attacks:
Cryo Jet: Frontal cone AoE Ice magic damage + Paralysis.
High-Tension Discharger: Frontal cone AoE Thunder magic damage + Stun.
Flame Thrower: Frontal cone AoE Fire magic damage + Plague.
Smoke Discharger: Frontal cone AoE Earth magic damage + Petrification.
Hydro Canon: Frontal cone AoE Water magic damage + Poison.
Turbofan: Frontal cone AoE Wind magic damage + Silence.
Wire Cutter: Single target, two-hit physical damage.
