WYRMS do not have very dangerous attacks, but they appear in groups and are not easy to destroy quickly. Attack Spells will soften them up, but physical attacks will do most of the work.

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.

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.
