How to Beat Dohalim

To aid in your battle against Dohalim, here are some tips that you can utilize in your fight.

1. Avoid his Rod Twirls
2. Attack when he rests
3. Use Kisara's Boost Attack to stop his charges

Avoid His Rod Twirls

While all of Dohalim's other attacks are devastating if you are hit by them, his attacks using his Rods can be the most difficult attack to manage.

Although it causes little harm per hit received, you may find yourself spending resources recovering from this attack that is more than necessary, so simply trying to avoid this kind of attack will help save resources and CP.

Attack When He Rests

After finishing a barrage of attacks against your party, Dohalim will slump his shoulders and seemingly "rest". This is the time to unleash a string of attacks and combos against him.

Unleashing a Boost Attack against him outside of his rest can force him to enter into one, particularly if you use Law's or Alphen's.

Use Kisara's Boost Attack to Stop His Charges

In the second phase of the fight, Dohalim will be able to charge at you, which can instantly K.O. you or reduce your HP drastically. These can be stopped immediately by using Kisara's Boost Attack, which also forces Dohalim to kneel and rest.

Recommended Party Setup for Dohalim

Party Members

Leader	Members
Kisara Lv.22	Shionne Lv.22	Alphen Lv.22	Law Lv.22

Make Heavy Use of Kisara

The newcomer to the group, Kisara can more than adequately serve the role of a tank in your party. Use her "guard" to reduce the effects of Dohalim's attacks – you can even stop his Charge Attacks by executing a perfect block as soon as he comes near Kisara.

Kisara Equipment and Artes

Kisara Lv.22	Equipment
	Imperial Shield
	Topaz Guard
	Grift Emblem
Ground Artes	Aerial Artes
Crescent Moon	-
Tiger Blade	-
Guardian Field	-

Use Guardian Field In Place of Healing Circle

In place of using Shionne's Healing Circle, you can instead make use of Kisara's Guardian Field. This casts a smaller circle that can heal your allies, all while causing damage. It also has a lower CP cost, allowing you more flexibility with how you make use of Shionne's healing abilities.

Use to Tank Hits

As the character in your party that has the highest stat for Defense, she is the best candidate to be the center of Dohalim's attention. Simply keep her healed when receiving major damage to sustain her durability.

Shionne Equipment and Artes

Shionne Lv.22	Equipment
	Innocent Lily
	Topaz One Piece
	Alexandrite
Ground Artes	Aerial Artes
Healing Circle	Toxicity
Gravitas Field	Glacio Celestra
Tonitus Celestra	Spear Sweep

Keep in Healer Role

Shionne is an effective character to have due to her range, as she can remain outside of Dohalim's immediate vicinity whenever he attacks. Keep her at a safe distance from where the main part of the fight is happening and have her do small attacks. Her primary focus, however, should be on healing the party or resurrecting any fallen allies.

Alphen Equipment and Artes

Alphen Lv.22	Equipment
	Topaz Mail
	Flare Claw
	Pierce Emblem
Ground Artes	Aerial Artes
Destruction	Mirage
Shockwave Slash	Stardust
Eternal Devastation	Rising Falcon

Use His Boost Attacks Frequently

Although Fire is not a weakness of Dohalim, he can still be effectively be forced to "rest" by making use of Alphen's Boost Attack. Alternating between Alphen and Kisara can allow you to control Dohalim's focus of attention as well as when you can force him into a vulnerable state.

Law Equipment and Artes

Law Lv.22	Equipment
	Flaming Knights
	Zeugle Shell Vest
	Grift Emblem
Ground Artes	Aerial Artes
Talon Storm	Eagle Dive
Tectonic Punch	Eagle Assault
Fang Blast	Death Blossom

Use As Distraction

Law is effective in a role that sees him actively going after the group's enemy. In this case, while alternating between Kisara and Alphen for the main roles of this battle, you can leave Law to conduct his attacks independently.

During times when Alphen and Kisara are low on HP, you can have them move away from Dohalim, who then can focus on attacking Law and thus leaving you enough time to recover.

Dohalim Attack Patterns

Rod Twirl

A speedy attack that can cause multiple hits and damage against your characters if you aren't careful. There are several variants of this attack, the most devastating of which is when Dohalim decides to do a combo that can blast you into the air where he will hit you some more before slamming you back down to the ground.

Charge Attack

In the second phase of the battle, Dohalim will begin to have a golden aura surround him, before blasting forwards straight towards any one of your characters. These attacks will bite off huge portions of your HP at a time or even completely K.O. you in one hit. These attacks can be blocked using Kisara's Boost Attack.

This attack can also be performed one after the other, homing in on your character until he eventually ceases or is stopped by Kisara.

B Naturae

Similar in appearance to his Charge Attack, Dohalim can perform B Naturae. This attackraises chunks of rocks from the ground that he then allows to fall down to the ground. There will be a larger rock that falls in front of him after all others have fallen, which can instantly K.O. any party member standing there or nearby. This attack is done repeatedly by Dohalim when he is nearing death.

Stalagmite

A rare attack that he does, where pillars of stone will rise up beneath the ground where a yellow-tinted crack will form. This attack can easily knock you to the ground, leaving you vulnerable to his Rod Twirls.
