Phases:

1. Phase 1: Rondo's Onslaught

   Rondo unleashes a barrage of powerful attacks. Her speed makes her difficult to track, and her hits are devastating. You'll need to manage your party's health carefully.

Strategy:

• Party Composition: For this fight, consider using Viola for healing, and Allegretto and Jazz for offense. If Jazz is in the front line with Skofnung equipped, be prepared to heal him every turn due to Burst.
• Viola's Role: Viola should primarily focus on healing. Only use her to attack when part of a Harmony Chain. Keep her in the light at the center of the room to maintain distance and use healing skills frequently.
• Offensive Strategy: Have your two main attackers (Allegretto and Jazz) engage Rondo up close. Build massive Harmony Chains to deal significant damage, potentially around 400,000 per chain.
• Healing and Defense: The core strategy is simple: two attack while one heals. Use healing items from your Item Set when necessary. Guarding Rondo's attacks is crucial; failing to do so will likely lead to failure.
• Key Attacks to Watch For:
  • Bombardment: A multi-hit attack, with the final hit dealing around 12,000 damage.
  • Hell Eruption: A very fast attack that can be used twice per turn. While fast, it's slow to recover from, making it dodgeable.
  • Grand Venom: Poisons one party member. The initial hit does no damage.
  • Fer De Lance: Hits twice, with each hit dealing around 7,000 damage.
• Patience is Key: This fight can be frantic due to Rondo's speed and the Moving Command. Stay persistent, manage your resources, and focus on guarding and healing. With enough effort, you'll eventually deplete Rondo's HP.
• Reward: Upon defeating Rondo (4), you will receive a Soul Shard.
