BOSS: Tuba (3)

Master the Tuba boss fight in Eternal Strands! Learn Tuba's attacks, weaknesses, and the best strategy to overcome this powerful foe with our expert guide.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• HP: 132,530
• Recommended Level: 18
• Tuba's physical attack is slow and can be guarded.
• The arena has sunlight in most areas, which is beneficial for Viola.

Phases:

1. Tuba has a variety of attacks, including close-range, shockwave, and multi-hit abilities.

Strategy:

• This is a three-on-one battle, but don't underestimate Tuba's power.
• Viola's Role: Keep Viola in the sunlight areas of the arena (the shadows are only from the castle gate pillars). This allows her to use Heal Arrow effectively. If your party has enough HP, she can also use Sacred Strike as a Special Attack.
• Party Positioning: Since Tuba's physical attack and Gigantic Slam can hit multiple targets, spread out your other two party members. Avoid keeping them too close together.
• Recommended Party Members: Frederic and Allegretto are suggested.
• Frederic's Role: Have Frederic attack up close using Piu Grave or Coup de Grace.
• Allegretto's Role: Allegretto can stay in the shadows and use Phantom Wave. Alternatively, you can have both Frederic and Allegretto surround Tuba.
• General Combat: Guard Tuba's slow physical attack. Be aware of Mega Mash, which hits three times for over 400 damage each. Gigantic Slam is a shockwave attack that hits the main target for over 400 damage and others caught in the wave for around 200. Demonic Embrace targets a player and can hit others behind them, striking twice for about 300 damage each.
• Healing: Always ensure Viola is available to use Heal Arrow.
• Reward: There is no specific reward mentioned for defeating Tuba.
