I used lightning/fang/hope

use shrouds before the start of the fight.
at the start of the fight, use rav/rav/rav to build up quite a few chains.
once he starts attacking, change to sab/sen/med... cast deprotect then change to com/sen/med..
stay at that paradigm until you lose your haste... then switch to med/sen/syn. wait till lightning gets a haste then switch to rev/sen/med.

the whole idea is to have haste at all times (atleast on your leader/attacker).
attacus should have deprotect at all times.
always have a sentinel and medic at all times.
if you want, you could build up a reasonable amount of chain percentage (about 400-500%) first with rav/sen/med before using com/sen/med.

you may not be able to get 5 stars (i killed it in about 17mins and got 4 stars).
btw, i fought it before end game.
