1313 As a Sergeant class officer the lieutenant hits harder than a common Deckhand and will parry a careless melee rush. The real threat is the escort: clearing the surrounding Deckhands first, or pulling the lieutenant away from them, keeps you from being surrounded while you trade blows. A ranged opener staggers the pistol phase, and saving a dodge for the saber close-in avoids the parry counter.

1515 Both quest variants share the same fight, so the approach that works on one works on the other. Compare its kit with Richards' Lieutenant, the matching officer in the other Blackbeard command branch, which fights the same way.
