Gold Beat

The Gold Beat is a Heartless that appears in Kingdom Hearts III.

Design
Resembling a Yellow Opera, the Gold Beat has intricate gold markings on its body that tells tell them apart; its hat is also black with hold trim, another visual difference between them.

Like other Heartless of its family, this one comes from the color/mineral gold and the music rhythm "beat".

 * Thunder Whip (サンダーウィップ)

Strategy
Because Gold Beats must summon their sigil before they can perform any attacks, they never cause an immediate threat. That, combined with their low HP and defenses, and relative infrequency of attacks, makes them fairly easy to deal with if done quickly.

Their movement can be erratic, making them somewhat difficult to hit while moving without Combo Master. This can be remedied by using aero magic since it pins them in place, causes extra damage, and will never miss (unlike fire or blizzard magic).
