Shaman

The Shaman (シャーマン) is an Emblem Heartless from Kingdom Hearts II. The Shaman casts magic and is resistant to magic. Sometimes they are found riding on top of Living Bones, another Heartless found in the Pride Lands.

A more powerful version of Shaman, called Necromancer, can be found in Cavern of Remembrance.

Journal Entry
''It attacks from afar and moves around very little. It is very magic-resistant and nullifies all attacks while taking on its mask form.''

The cursed flame it occasionally unleashes firmly chases its target, but it can be used advantageously with reaction commands!.

Locations

 * Pride Lands
 * Olympus Coliseum

Attacks

 * Claw: Scratch with both hands
 * Blaze: Blue fire sprouts at target's feet
 * Will-o-Wisp: Will-o-Wisps surround Sora
 * Mask Rush: Ram at target as mask, temporarily invincible

Strategy
The Shaman becomes invincible during the duration of a curse. When atop a Living Bone, the power of a curse is increased greatly, and can even take out a high level character (70-80) if not careful.

As mentioned above, a Curse while on Living Bones can be disastrous. The best choice would be an immediate Trinity Limit, however this can only be accessed in normal form, meaning it can not be done in The Pride Lands. This can however, be a lifesaver in the 45th fight of the Hades Paradox Cup, in which Sora must fight alone.
