Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days
This magic-resistant knight Heartless's skillful defense makes it tough to finish off. Though its focused slash can be stopped with a block, blasting the knight with Aeroga while it is storing up energy will stagger it, opening it up to extra damage, especially from magic.

Design
This Heartless's armor is reddish-brown in decoration. Its weapons are uniquely-shaped golden twin blades.

Strategy
Like most arm-blade knights, the Stalwart Blade attacks with sliding thrusts, spin attacks, and drop bomb attacks. Like the others, it becomes stunned and dizzy after its own attempts. Dodge its attacks, then counter during its malaise. It recovers all too quickly, so be ready to jump or roll away. Hit it with Aero spells to stun it for longer periods of time, creating more chances to hit it.
