The battle against the Fire Saber can be difficult, but only if you do not understand its one weakness. [[Xion]] and [[Axel]] will immediately rush to fight the Heat Saber, but you should turn to your left first. At first, it may seem as if the Heat Saber is invincible, as a glistening shield appears around it, making it invincible to every and all attacks. However, to your left, a [[Barrier Master]] can be found, the source of the shield around the Heat Saber. Xion and Axel will follow you as you go after the Barrier Master, as will the Heat Saber, which will cause them to continue their pointless battle. Once you knock the book from the Barrier Master's hands, the Heat Saber will become subject to attack. However, Xion and Axel will continue to fight it for you. Your focus should be focused on the Barrier Master until it has been disposed of. After this has been completed, the fight with the Heat Saber is fairly simple. Just avoid its attacks, and you should be fine.
The Heat Saber is by no means an easy opponent to defeat; luckily, you are accompanied by [[Xion]] and [[Axel]] to help you take it down. It uses the element of [[Fire]] in its slash attacks, so equipping the [[Fire Charm]] or even the [[Tears of Flame]] would be greatly helpful. After a combo by the Heat Saber, the Heartless will stay still for a small period of time; at this time, attack with [[Blizzard]] magic, as this is not only the only type of attack magic that it is affected by, but also its weakness. Continue in the pattern of dodging the Heat Saber's combo and using Blizzard magic while it pauses, and this Heartless should fall. Also, attacking this Heartless while it is storing energy will cause it to immediately perform its focused slash.

Template:Enemy The Heat Saber is an Emblem Heartless that is found in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. It is one of the bosses in Twilight Town.

Design

The Heat Saber is a large, humanoid Heartless covered from head to toe in silver and grey armor. The armor on its legs sport white spikes and steel blue highlights. Its helmet sports two short, white spikes and a long, twisted, black antenna. A small opening in the front just barely exposes the Heat Saber's black face and glowing yellow eyes. Its most notable features are the jagged, seemingly molten blades in place of each of its hands. It has two Heartless emblems, one on each of its shoulder pauldrons.

The Heat Saber's name refers to its fire-based attacks and the blades on its arms—the word "saber" or "sabre" refers a lightweight sword now used in fencing.

Strategy

The Heat Saber is by no means an easy opponent to defeat; luckily, you are accompanied by Xion and Axel to help you take it down. It uses the element of Fire in its slash attacks, so equipping the Fire Charm or even the Tears of Flame would be greatly helpful. After a combo by the Heat Saber, the Heartless will stay still for a small period of time; at this time, attack with Blizzard magic, as this is not only the only type of attack magic that it is affected by, but also its weakness. Continue in the pattern of dodging the Heat Saber's combo and using Blizzard magic while it pauses, and this Heartless should fall. Also, attacking this Heartless while it is storing energy will cause it to immediately perform its focused slash.
