How to Beat The Doctor (Dottore)
Hide Behind the Pillars
At the very start of the fight, The Doctor will unleash the power of the moons to cause a Moonfall. Take cover behind the pillars that he summons to avoid taking damage from the fall.
While behind the pillars, your characters will continuously regenerate energy. Make use of this to setup your characters' burst once he comes down.
Three Moon Punishments
At one point in the fight, The Doctor will use one of the moons to punish his enemies. The Doctor's punishment changes depending on the Moon that he uses.
Regardless of the moon, the punishment phase will last roughly 5 seconds.
Frost Moon
When The Doctor uses the Frost Moon's powers, if the character moves during this period, The Doctor punishes his opponent by imprisoning them while his projectiles attack.
However, this does not mean that you cannot attack. To negate this, simply keep attacking without moving your character in any direction.
Eternal Moon
With the Eternal Moon's powers, the characters' movement will be inverted while The Doctor is in this state.
The most effective way to negate this is to keep on attacking with melee characters who naturally move closer to their targets via their Normal Attacks.
Iridescent Moon
While the Iridescent Moon's power is active, If the character faces towards The Doctor, they will be imprisoned while being attacked by The Doctor's projections.
It is recommended to use characters whose skills are automated to do DMG without them having to move. A good example of this is Furina in her Ousia alignment, with the Salon Solitaire members doing the DMG for her.
Destroy the Moon Replicas Inside the Realm
Once The Doctor's HP reaches a certain threshold, he will summon portals to the Moonwither realm that will periodically deal damage while he rains down upon his opponent, continuously dealing damage.
Go towards one of the portals to enter the Moonwither Realm and destroy the Moon Replicas. Do note that The Doctor's attacks will still occur inside the realm, make sure to dodge them.
When destroyed, they will deal damage to The Doctor and once all three are destroyed, the character will return to the battlefield.
Leave the Realm
Alternatively, you can just leave the realm by going through the portal to continue fighting The Doctor himself.

The boss does not require a specific team or element to defeat him. However, do note that he have mechanic where if he takes a massive amount of damage in one instance, he'll gain increase in all his RES and heals back his lost health
It is recommended to use a team that gradually decreases his health. Lunar-Charged, Electro-Charged, or Hyperbloom teams in particular are great as they deal damage per tick rather than one instance.
