Below you’ll find a step‑by‑step breakdown of his attack patterns, recommended team compositions, artifact priorities, and practical tips for staying alive during the battle.
Understanding Dottore’s Attack Phases
Dottore’s fight is divided into three distinct phases, each with its own set of mechanics. Recognizing the transition cues will help you adapt your strategy on the fly.
- Phase 1 – Shadow Bombardment: He launches a series of shadow projectiles that explode on contact. These projectiles can be dodged by sprinting sideways or using a burst with mobility (e.g., Venti’s Wind’s Grand Ode).
- Phase 2 – Healing Pulse: Dottore summons a large healing circle that restores his HP. Breaking the circle with Electro or Cryo damage interrupts the heal and deals additional damage.
- Phase 3 – Summoned Minions: He calls forth two Columbina-type minions that target the player with fast melee attacks. These minions can be eliminated quickly with AoE abilities.

The most reliable way to handle Dottore’s varied attacks is to build a balanced team that can trigger elemental reactions while providing enough survivability. Below is a recommended lineup that works well for both solo and co‑op play.
