The Dustflier appears at Station Plaza after the other six Heartless bosses are defeated. With its immense Defense and HP, the Dustflier takes a very long time to whittle down. Its attacks deal high damage and inflict status effects, so watch for visual cues telegraphing each attack and dodge carefully. Be wary of the Shadows that continuously spawn: their attacks can stun, making the player vulnerable to the Dustflier's attacks.
It is strongly recommended that Roxas have abilities equipped for aerial mobility, especially [[High Jump]], [[Air Slide]], and [[Glide]]. Equip a weapon with high Strength, Critical Rate, and/or Critical Bonus to boost damage, and equip a [[Ring Panel]] that boosts fire resistance, such as the [[Tears of Flame]], or Defense and/or HP, such as the [[Princess's Crown]]. Offensive magic is highly ineffective, so equip only [[Cure]] magic. Since the Dustflier can inflict status effects with every attack, bringing [[Panacea]]s and [[Elixir]]s is also recommended.


Equip abilities for aerial mobility, especially [[High Jump]], [[Air Slide]], and [[Glide]]; a weapon with high Strength, Critical Rate, and/or Critical Bonus to boost damage; and a [[Ring Panel]] that boosts either fire resistance, such as the [[Tears of Flame]], or Defense and/or HP, such as the [[Princess's Crown]]. The Dustflier is resistant to all offensive magic, but [[Cure]] magic can help Roxas's longevity. Bringing [[Panacea]]s and [[Elixir]]s can make the battle easier.
The Dustflier appears at the Station Plaza after the basic requirements for the mission have been cleared, by defeating the other six Heartless bosses. With its immensely high defense, the battle with the Dustflier is largely one of survival. Watch out for the cues preceding each of the Dustflier's attacks.


The Dustflier's most common attack consists of a leap, followed by large, slow-moving, non-elemental shockwave that has a 100% chance of inflicting a random negative status effect. Jump and Air Slide or Glide over the shockwave. Alternately, if the Dustflier performs the shockwave on the lower ground, move to the top of the Plaza steps to avoid the shockwave entirely.
The Dustflier is a powerful, yet predictable boss. Its most common attack is a large, non-elemental shockwave that has a 100% of inflicting a random status effect. The Dustflier will leap a short distance and then land, releasing the shockwave on the ground. To avoid this, jump over the shockwave and air slide or glide until the until it dissipates. The Dustflier will then execute one of three followup attacks: a flip in the air that will [[Halve HP|halve Roxas's HP]], a flying charge that will [[air-toss]] the character, or a volley of fireballs that have an 80% chance of [[Ignite (status)|igniting]] the character. The flip and charge can be avoided by keeping one's distance or quickly moving to the side when the Heartless takes to the air. The fireball attack, which is signaled by the Dustflier spreading its wings and raising its head to the sky, can be avoided with continuous sidewards movements, or by hiding behind one of the brick walls beside the train station steps. It is also possible to [[block]] the three followup attacks, especially if [[Round Block]] is equipped.  


After its shockwave attack, the Dustflier follows up with one of three attacks: an aerial flip that [[Halve HP|halves HP]], a flying charge that can [[air-toss]], or a volley of fireballs with an 80% chance of [[Ignite (status)|igniting]]. After each followup attack, the Dustflier performs another shockwave and repeats the process.
It is possible to avoid the shockwave by standing at the top of the steps.<!--how reliable is it?-->


The flip and charge are short-range and easily avoided using Air Slide or Glide. Watch out for the fireball attack, telegraphed by the Dustflier spreading its wings and raising its head. Dodge the fireballs by continuous dodging, or by hiding behind the two brick walls at either end of the train station steps. All three attacks can be [[block]]ed.  
The best opportunity to deal damage to the Dustflier is after a followup attack, especially the flip and charge attacks. Roxas may be able to execute one or two attack combos before the Dustflier leaps up for the next shockwave. The key to defeating it is patience, as non-critical attacks will deal very little damage, and getting hit by any of its attacks can be devastating to Roxas's HP.


The best opportunities to attack are immediately after the Dustflier's flip and charge attacks. Execute one or two attack combos before the Dustflier leaps up for the next shockwave.
The Dustflier is a test of endurance and patience. Prioritize dodging, and only land attacks when it is safe to do so.
