Master the Captain Dolce boss fight in Eternal Strands. Learn enemy stats, weaknesses, phase strategies, and recommended party tactics to overcome Dolce and her lieutenants.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Captain Dolce HP: 141,080
• First Lieutenant HP: 23,520
• Second Lieutenant HP: 28,220
• Recommended Level: 22

Phases:

1. Phase 1: Lieutenants - Defeat the First and Second Lieutenants.
2. Phase 2: Captain Dolce - Focus on Captain Dolce after the lieutenants are down.

Strategy:

• Party Preparation: Pack Item Sets with Club Clovers, Angel Trumpets, and Floral Extracts. Polka's Earth Heal and Frederic's Sacred Signature are crucial for healing.
• Lieutenant Strategy: Prioritize taking out the lieutenants before they can use Rising Power to heal themselves. Use Salsa's Grand Slam or Shadow Silhouette, and Beat's Rapid Shooter from a distance. Frederic should focus on healing or close-range attacks.
• Captain Dolce Strategy: Dolce has long-range attacks like Dead Man's Tale (over 2300 damage), Burning Spindle, and Tempest Swirl. She can also heal herself with Ruthless. She moves frequently, making her hard to block.
• Dolce Combat: Keep Beat attacking from a distance with Rapid Shooter or Fire Blast, and use Power Smash if she gets close. Frederic can use Piu Grave and Coup de Grace, though their effectiveness is questionable. Salsa should use Shadow Silhouette to buff allies and Grand Slam against Dolce.
• Positioning: Avoid clumping the party together. Keep moving and spread out to avoid Dolce's wide-ranging attacks. Use turns to back up or position yourself away from swinging lanterns.
• Polka's Role: If Polka is in the party, use Nether Wave for ranged attacks and Earth Heal for healing.
• General Tips: This fight can be challenging and may require significant healing and sustained offense.
