Wyverns are the latest in a long line of very generic large creatures. They don't hit very hard, but they are Poisonous. They have decent Evasion, but your Accuracy should counter that at this point in the game.

By the time Wyrms start appearing, they really aren't anything special. Their attacks are moderately dangerous, but individually they aren't much of a problem. Fighting three of them can be somewhat dangerous, since it will usually take a few hits to take down each one, but they won't do more than sap your party's resources.

WYVERNS have a lot of HP, Evade, and Magic Defense. Attack Spells will work, but physical attacks can do the job just as well. WYVERNS don't hit very hard, but they are Poisonous.

Wyvern are tough but pose little threat unless they are left alone. In that case, they may use the devastating Cyclonic attack. It won't kill anyone, but it will burn through healing Items or MP. Don't save these guys for last. Also, despite clearly flying, Wyvern don't have the Float Status.

Wyverns are nasty foes who can, fortunately, be avoided by keeping the area rainy. They resist all three of Vanille's available Saboteur Abilities until staggered. You will get a lot of mileage out of Sazh's Synergist Abilities, but your main goal is to stay alive while building up the Wyvern's chain meter. Do not underestimate its powerful attacks—cast Esuna to remove Deprotect before the Wyvern one-shots a Character with its Bite attack.
