He will use a combo attack, you just need to wait until the combo ends and then go in and strike. Also keep an eye for the drone attack, before the drone attack you will see a red laser pointing at you.
Just dodge these attacks and hide behind something.
If you get far away from Garcia, he will jump on you or will throw Molotov cocktail. Try to dodge those attacks as well by jumping to the sides.
When you attack, aim for the right arm of Garcia because if you finish him by a blow on the right arm you will be rewarded MG jackknife Pro and AID Nightfall Gear.
Violent Vic
Violent Vic is the first boss you will face in the game, at JCPD Armory – Detention Center. This boss has armor all over his body except his head, that automatically makes his head most vulnerable part to attack.
You need to use Limb targeting system and just aim to his head when you attack. Violent Vic uses equalizer and attacks with a combo, you just need to dodge that and when he is recovering make your move.
Repeat this until you defeat the boss. By defeating him, you will get Keycard to Officer Johnson and 100 tech scrap.

It also has two claws that can be destroyed off its body separately.
Little Johnny will chase you in the whole arena and if you get below it, it will throw itself on you dealing high damage. You need to get just get close to him and then just go for its claws first, one at a time.
When you are done with claws, you can always wait until its combo ends and its in recovery. So after claws, destroy the two batteries on its body. After that, go for one arm at a time to destroy remaining batteries.

Captain Cervantes
You will find this enemy at Gideon’s Rock. It is a hard battle and battleground is small too. Cervantes can perform short and long-range attacks very effectively. You have more chances to survive if you stay closer to him.
He uses his cloaking ability and can disappear at one instance and can come back from somewhere else with an attack.
You can stop this from happening either by destroying its cloaking device or attack him using your drone as soon as he tries to go invisible.
He will get closer to you to perform a parry attack. You need to dodge it. He also uses a long-range katana attack which is very difficult to dodge and parry. You can try evading it by dodging to the left but is a very quick attack so good luck.
