User:Xelias0/DissidiaKH/Heartless Enemies

Shadow
Shadows are very common fodder enemies, always appearing in groups and often accompanying stronger Heartless. They are quite weak and do little damage.

Neoshadow
Neoshadows are moderately powerful Heartless that frequently appear with other Purebloods, such as Shadows and Invisibles. They are fairly fast, and can be dangerous under the right circumstances.

Novashadow
Novashadows are very similar to, but rarer than Neoshadows. They have fewer attacks and their HP attacks aren’t quite as strong, but their Brave attacks drain the enemy’s Brave points faster.

Soldier
Soldiers are rather weak Heartless that often appear in groups. They are fairly common and don’t pose much of a threat, except for their high speed.

Deserter
Deserters often appear in large numbers, and virtually never appear with other types of Heartless, save for Soldiers and—rarely—Barrier Masters. They are easily beaten and do not have a wide repertoire of attacks, so their strength lies in their numbers and speed.

Large Body
Large Bodies are usually slow, moderately powerful Heartless, though they will periodically become invulnerable and use faster attacks. Large Bodies’ main assets are their armored bellies, which automatically guards against frontal attacks.

Large Armor
Large Armors are, as their names imply, fully armored versions of Large Bodies. They are not a great deal stronger than their relatives, but their armor automatically blocks all Ground attacks. Though their attacks are mostly the same as those of Large Bodies, their HP attacks are able to inflict a status effect that temporarily robs the enemy of its ability to use Brave attacks.

Rabid Dog
Rabid Dogs always appear in packs, and are usually accompanied by other types of Heartless as well. They are quite weak and generally just act as distractions when accompanying stronger Heartless.

Snapper Dog
Snapper Dogs will usually appear with many weaker Heartless, particularly packs of Rabid Dogs, and occasionally appear with stronger Heartless, including other Snapper Dogs. Though they only have two attacks to Rabid Dogs’ three, Snapper Dogs make up for this by doing more damage and having the potential to inflict a status effect which temporarily robs the enemy of their ability to use Brave attacks.

Minute Bomb
Minute Bombs are generally more nuisances than actual threats, until they utilize their ability to self-destruct, which can be quite deadly under certain circumstances.

Detonator
Detonators will usually appear in groups of two or three, accompanied by other types of Heartless (often Minute Bombs). Like Minute Bombs, they are generally more irritating than dangerous (albeit they are stronger and tougher than their smaller relatives), until they make use of their ability to self-destruct.

Crimson Jazz
Crimson Jazzes typically appear in pairs and, much less commonly, with other types of Heartless. They are the only type of Heartless that use Fire magic, but cannot Ignite the player. Instead, most of their attacks can hurl enemies into the air. They attack quickly and can chain attacks fairly easily.

Emerald Blues
Emerald Blues are a bit stronger than other Heartless in their family, if only because of a slightly larger than average repertoire of attacks and the fact that every one of their attacks (which use Wind magic) can not only Air-Toss enemies, but also automatically shield them with wind.

Silver Rock
Silver Rocks use Light magic to cause explosions and also use dive-bombing attacks. They are somewhat rarer than their fellow magic-using Heartless, but are not very powerful.

Grey Caprice
Grey Caprices always appear in the company of other types of Heartless, and act more as diversions and annoyances than actual threats. Their ability to switch places with the player can be disorienting, and the potential status effect they can inflict further hinders the player by removing their ability to jump.

Turquoise March
Turquoise Marches are easily dealt with, as they only have two attacks, both of which have the potential to Freeze enemies.

Scarlet Tango
Scarlet Tangos, like Turquoise Marches, are simple Heartless to deal with with only two attacks, both of which deal Fire damage and can Ignite enemies.

Bookmaster
Bookmasters are a fair bit more difficult to deal with than most other magic-using Heartless. They cast their spells quickly and their melee attacks are difficult to avoid. They also have the distinction of being the only type of Heartless capable of casting three types of magic, Fire, Blizzard, and Thunder, meaning any of their HP attacks can potentially Ignite, Freeze, or Jolt the enemy.

Barrier Master
Barrier Masters are focused more toward aiding their allies in battles and as a result always appear with at least one other type of Heartless. Their attacks do gradual damage to the enemy’s Bravery or HP, or surround their fellow Heartless in impenetrable barriers.

Cymbal Monkey
Cymbal Monkeys are another type of Heartless that serve to disorient and frustrate the enemy more than directly pose a threat. Their sound bullets have the potential to inflict a status effect which temporarily reverses the controls. The bullets themselves can be rather difficult to avoid.

Air Battler
Air Battlers are moderately powerful Heartless that can utilize Wind magic to Air-Toss enemies. They are very fast and frequently opt for an “avoid and evade” strategy, dodging the player’s attacks before quickly moving in and attacking for itself.

Dual Blade
Dual Blades are powerful Heartless with a large repertoire of attacks, one of which can steal the enemy’s HP and transfer it to the Dual Blade. They are fast in terms of their attack speed and have a fast block. They are occasionally accompanied by weaker Heartless, such as Shadows or Minute Bombs.

Invisible
Invisibles are powerful Heartless with a number of attacks, both physical and magical. They generally do heavy damage and have a large amount of health, and can execute their attacks quickly. Invisibles don’t often appear with other Heartless, but when they do they are only ever accompanied by Angel Stars or Pureblood Heartless.
