Symphony Master

The Symphony Master (交響曲マスター) is an Unversed boss fought in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep in Castle of Dreams by Terra.

Story
Some time after Cinderella and Prince Charming met, they were attacked by this massive Unversed. Terra and the Grand Duke later came to their aid, the Grand Duke warning the castle residents of the boss's presence while Terra fought it off.

Worlds Fought

 * Castle of Dreams

Appearance
The Symphony Master has the basic appearance of a band conductor, wearing a tall band hat colored both gold and magenta, baggy pants decorated with a gold trim, and formal reddish-pink suit. One of its black arms ends in a gold knob with a conductor's baton jutting out of it, the other a white and gloved hand used to control its massive violin. The Symphony Master also has red feet meant to appear as formal boots, also having horn-like "ears."

Strategy
At the start of the battle, the player should immediately activate their Shoot Lock tactic in order to deal the most damage as possible at a relatively fast rate. It is then a matter of repeating this process while dodging the Symphony Master's attacks and jumping to land your own on the boss itself and the massive instruments surrounding it.

The first line of defense this Unversed has are the instruments that fight for it, the Symphony Master commanding either its violin, trumpet, or drum to attack. It may also cause all three instruments to charge at Terra at the same time. It should be noted that destroying these instruments grants rewards such as HP Balls and Munny. The Symphony Master will then shine with dark energy that damages when touched upon its instrument's destruction, so it is best to keep away from the boss at this point. The Symphony Master may then jump, causing a massive shockwave to erupt upon landing, this attack is best dodged by a run or jump at the right moment. It is after this attack that the boss may extend the length of its conductor's baton and use it like a boomerang.

It is not necessary to destroy the instruments in order to defeat the Symphony Master. Heal when necessary and continue to use the proper Deck Commands as necessary. The Unversed will then fall with relative ease.

Trivia
