Strategy
Tiamat Omega has a fairly high Double Attack rate and base Attack, otherwise she is pretty simple, with no HP triggers, and the only thing to watch for is her Overdrive Charge Attack. Tempest can devastate most players if they're not prepared for it, as it deals a large amount of damage to random targets, meaning it can potentially eat past and low-powered  if you're unlucky.

Best case scenario is to push her into Overdrive and all the way through to Break before her first Charge Attack. This means you will want to use Dark Fencer with a Fire weapon mainhand in order to ensure that Stall, Miserable Mist, and Gravity hit consistently. As her normal attacks can deal around 3000 damage unmitigated, it's recommended to take Rain of Arrows III as your subskill. Blind can work too, but since you're already lowering her attack with Mist it can be easier to deal with consistent, low damage over spiky, medium damage.

If you aren't strong enough to Break her before her Charge Attack, you will want to bring, , and/or to attempt to survive Tempest. You should be able to push her to Break if you survive, and by the time she uses her next Charge Attack Peridot Carbuncle should be ready to go. Another option is to sandbag all your skills until after her first Charge Attack and bring or cross your fingers that she doesn't use Backdraft. After her Charge Attack, immediately push her through Overdrive to Break.
