He dosnt if u hit him with enough atb attacks and i was countering him when i could he was going to as he hit Gjallarhorn's Warning But i was able to to stop him i guess with aeriths ray of judgement and i was able to finish him off shortly after so in this fight he didn't get his chance to use it in every fight other fight that i focused on him he used it so thats why i took out alexander first to make it easier out of the 2 alexander was more annoying for me there
