Game:Ventus

Ventus is a mini-boss in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep at the Land of Departure. He is fought twice in the tutorial episode, using Terra and then Aqua—once to teach guarding and countering, and then again as a practice free-for-all.

Strategy
Though he is one of the easiest bosses in the game, Ventus is arguably the most difficult of the three tutorial bosses; the difficulty mainly presenting itself in the form of having to use Aqua for this battle.

His attacks consist of quick weak slashes which can form a powerful seven-hit combo if they are not parried/dodged. Whether a distance away or close by, Ventus may use his Strike Raid command. Strike Raid can hit twice and deals a large amount of damage. use Cartwheel to dodge this, for if it misses, Ventus will be open to attack. He will also make use of his Sliding Dash and Aero commands, which are less of a threat but should still be avoided. Countering Aero with Blizzard works well and leaves Ventus open to your standard combo, or your close range commands.

Attacks

 * Standard Combo: Attacks the player with quick slashes(normally 1 slash, but if is not blocked or dodged, can become 7 slashes)
 * Strike Raid: Hurls his keyblade at the player(can hit twice)
 * Aero: Surrounds himself with gusts of wind that pulls you in before sending you flying while dealing damage(this is close ranged).
 * Sliding Dash: Launches himself at the player, keyblade first(he only uses this command at a distance)
