Novashadow



The Novashadow is a Heartless Boss exclusive to Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. Rising up from the darkness before Roxas and Luxord in the Bizzare Room while the two Nobodies explored Wonderland, it is a larger version of the Neoshadow. Purple in coloration, it has red highlights on its head and on the body rather than blue. The Novashadow is fought on Days 255 and 323.

Strategy
At the start of this battle, Lock-On to the Heartless Boss and slowly approach it. Do not let its size intimidate you. Prepare to dodge an attack, as it sinks into the ground right off the bat, unleashing a shockwave with a wide range as it resurfaces. As the Heartless proceeds to slowly pace in front of you, begin your attack. Use caution, as it may slash with its claws. These two attacks are the only ones in this Boss' arsenal, the tactics used repeatedly throughout the battle.

The Novashadow is highly vulnerable to magic, particularly the Thunder Spell. You shouldn't have to worry about your HP in this battle, as Luxord will heal you in times of need. If your HP does hit the "Alarm Zone," do not hesitate to make use of your Limit Break. Follow this strategy, and the Novashadow should fall in defeat rather quickly.

Trivia

 * The Novashadow, like other Heartless Bosses featured in 358/2 Days, can be fought multiple times. It should not be a challenge so long as the strategy used by the player from the first fight is repeated.
