After successfully sneaking on board the cargo ship, all seems to be going fine with the group heading to Costa del Sol. However, suspicious characters are reported on board and they believe they have been found out, however, its not them. Investigating the lower decks and engine room they encounter Jenova (though to them appears as Sephiroth) and after a small bit of banter, Jenova 'flies' off and leaves behind on of her parts to fight the party, this part is known as Jenova-BIRTH.
Jenova-BIRTH can be a little annoying if unprepared. Its main threat comes with the ability to use the magic 'Stop' however it only has enough MP to cast it three times.
Other than that magic it has 'Laser' which it'll shoot at a single target and can do this three times in a row in quick succession, and sometimes to the same target.
'W-Laser' a stronger version of the 'Laser' and highly damaging, what's worse is she can use it up to three times, nonstop. Broken? Jenova? Never!
'Gas' where she spews a putrid green gas at the target. Pretty weak overall but has a chance to poison.
'Tail Laser' which sweeps across the field, damaging all characters. It also has knock back properties as well as doing high damage. She can use it twice in a row at times.
Going in unprepared to this boss fight can lead to a game over due to Jenova's ability to use moves in quick succession. Especially if done to a single character. Stop can be its biggest threat but in my opinion, its Tail Laser is the bigger threat, especially if done twice in a row. Being prepared however gives you a bigger advantage against her but she can still be a threat.
On an unrelated note, Jenova's theme is one of my favorite in the game. ^_^
