Any tips on how to beat Gigas (Xenosaga) using only humans/androids?

<div style='font: 9pt Arial; text-align: left; '>I made the mistake of going to the Kukai city before repairing my AWGS units (all three around 300-500), and now I'm stuck here until I beatt this lousy schizoid.

So far I've had the best luck with Ziggy, KOS-MOS, and MOMO (all level 20). The first 2 do the attacking, while MOMO stays in the back and gives KOS-MOS items(speed stim, veil, defense sheild) early on and heals the party when necessary. This usually allows me to take out the one on the left, although with a few scars. However, once that guy goes down, the one on the right goes into a frenzy and casts one of two spells: a more powerful Frostbite, or some instant KO spell, which basically forces me to spend the rest of the battle healing and reviving, and eventually dying in the end.

Do you guys have any different strategies on how to beat this bitch? I know I can beat him if I level up enough, but I don't really feel like it because that's how I got my characters to level 20 in the first place (my guys were around 18-19 when I first fought him on Monday). I also considered loading from a previous save, but that was back when you first get to the Durandal, and I figured that it was too far back (though in retrospect, it probably would have taken less time to restart from there).

Damn, I can't wait for Zelda.</div>

Just pray

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>You can't have any items that protect you from instant KO at this point, so just quickly revive people by using a 6 point action + a Medica All and hope he'll use Frostbite over the instant KO. That battle is probably the cheapest one in the game. I'm lucky to beat it the first try. Pumping up your Ether Defense migth help. You can always try something like having 3 Boost bars on everyone and try to knock him out quick when he gets low.</div>
