Sniper

Snipers (スナイパー) are Nobodies controlled by Xigbar. Snipers wield a crossbow and possess the same abilty as Xigbar to float and teleport. Snipers are found in the Land of Dragons (where they are used as a distraction by Xigbar) and The World that Never Was.

Strategy


Snipers move the same way their master, Xigbar, does. Rather than actually move their limbs, they will teleport around the field and shoot at Sora. They will seemingly stand on nothing and ready their crossbows to attack. These shots can be very accurate. Their reaction command, "Warp Snipe", allows Sora to teleport in the same way they do, and literally bat the projectile back at the Nobody. If successful, it will hit the Sniper, damaging them, and rendering them defenseless for a while. What must be considered when facing multiple Snipers is that while warp sniping, Sora is still somewhat open to other sniper shots.

One good place is The Ruin and Creation were in one section about five snipers. All of them start with Warp Snipe. Use this to take down one then continue to combo. This leads to loads of exp.

If given enough time, then Snipers will charge their projectiles, similar to the way Xigbar does, and will produce a bigger projectile. Once fired there will be a short delay, enough time for Sora escape the trajectory of the shot. If caught it will cause a significant amount of damage.
