The High Soldier is an Emblem Heartless that appears in Kingdom Hearts III.

Design

High Soldiers largely resemble the normal Soldier Heartless, but with a few differences. Their outfit is black instead of blue, their claws are yellow, they have spikes on their wristbands, and they have red markings on the upper half of their torso. Their helmet curves down in the middle of their face, and two horns on each side of the helmet that curve and bend upwards.

Strategy

Kingdom Hearts III

High Soldiers are more aggressive with their attacks. Just like normal Soldiers, all their attacks can be blocked, but the Aerial Whirlwind Kick will break Sora's guard and trigger Risk Dodge. Luckily, they can easily be defeated in a few hits due to their low HP. They also have a weakness to Blizzard magic that can be exploited.

A large amount of High Soldiers appear grouped together in Battlegate 12, making it an ideal location for farming Wellspring synthesis materials, which High Soldiers frequently drop.
