BOSS: Fugue (2)

Learn how to defeat Fugue (2) in Eternal Strands! This guide covers recommended levels, party setups, Fugue's attacks, and the best strategy to win.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• HP: 219,460
• Recommended Level: 28
• Fugue has surprisingly slow melee attacks.
• His special attacks (J'accuse, Blood Scent, Dark Presence) are relatively weak, dealing around 2600 damage for J'accuse.
• The arena has an uneven split of light and dark, with the left side shadowed by a large tree. This might influence the effectiveness of certain attacks.

Phases:

1. Fugue has three main attacks besides his melee: J'accuse (a linear, one-hit attack that can hit multiple characters), Blood Scent (a multi-hit attack), and Dark Presence (a ranged attack).
2. The fight is essentially a three-on-one battle, making it manageable if you have a solid strategy.

Strategy:

• Party Setup: A recommended party includes Salsa, Frederic, and Beat.
• Beat's Role: Keep Beat at a distance to focus on healing the team with items like Star Cookies and Club Clovers. He can contribute with his gun if everyone is healthy.
• Salsa & Frederic's Role: These two should surround Fugue, with one attacking from the front and the other from the back, using powerful close-range Special Attacks.
• Special Attacks: Utilize strong close-range Special Attacks. Frederic can use Piu Grave and Orzel Bialy, while Salsa has Grand Slam/Deadly Orbit. Any potent Special Attack will be effective.
• Item Management: Stock up on healing items such as Club Clovers, Floral Extracts, and Angel Trumpets. This fight can be won through sheer endurance if you have enough supplies.
• Positioning: Use the arena's light and dark areas to your advantage, though the source doesn't specify how. The main strategy is to overwhelm Fugue with coordinated attacks while keeping your healer safe.
• Post-Fight Rewards: Upon defeating Fugue, you will receive the Brisingamen and Torquatus.
