This is one of the easiest AND one of the hardest most annoying boss battles at the same time. It's simple because if you can kill that weaksauce CD quickly, which almost every vocation can, then the DB is left on its own and can be staggered out of most of his casting making the fight trivial. For example as an MK the CD dies to just one Stone Forest....as soon as he rushes in after the cutscene.

And then it's the hardest when the BD possesses the CD.....good lord. For some reason the possessed CD can send you tumbling backwards without actually flapping its wings -_- and then a High Maelstrom comes out of nowhere to juggle your entire party to death. You get to see yourself and your beloved pawns thrown high up and down again repeatedly, even after you and them are dead, until the tornado ends....THEN get a chance to use a Wakestone. High Bolide meteors will hit in close proximity, it kills one of your pawns, you go to revive them and get hit by the subsequent one. Grand Exeguy sets up stupidly fast charging sigils also in close proximity to eachother killing off pawns easily and making it nigh immposible to avoid all of them in time.

Honestly, long range or powerful melee attacks are all I can recommend when he's in this state. Mid range is just suicide, just stay far away and cast spells or use blast arrows or get in really close with the Stability augment and hit him with your best move, knocking the DB out of that thing is of utmost importance.
