The Dustflier appears at the Station Plaza after the basic requirements for the mission have been completed.
The Dustflier appears at the Station Plaza after the basic requirements for the mission have been completed. It is vital that the player have Glide equipped, and a strong Keyblade. Dustflier's most accurate attack is Fire-elemental, so it would be wise to equip a Ring that defends against Fire damage or Ignite status.
At the start of the battle, Lock-On to this winged opponent and begin your attack. Ignore any other heartless that may have entered the battle, as their is no real gain for defeating them. This will mostly be an aerial battle. Make sure you are not on the ground, as the Dustflier will create large shockwaves that cause a random status effect whenever it lands. This shockwave has a long range, so use Glide to make a quick escape. This attack is used for a majority of the battle. When the Heartless Boss is not attacking, hammer it with the Keyblade.


It uses two attacks that the other Tailbunker-like Heartless use on occasions. It often shoots forward after creating the shockwave, causing Air-toss status if it hits. It will also perform a midair flip that deals decent damage. Another attack in the Dustflier's arsenal involves it landing on the ground, shooting homing fireballs that inflict the Ignite status if hit. Glide can be used to escape this attack, as well. The Boss uses these three attacks in no particular order, though the attack does vary depending on your distance from the Dustflier after it lands. As long as players attack with a powerful weapon during openings, as well as use the Glide Ability to dodge the shockwave attack, this monstrous foe should fall in a matter of minutes. It is also recommended that you bring a Fire Charm into this match, as this will slightly lessen damage sustained from the Dustflier's meteor breath attack. If you can, bring a Tears Of Flame instead of a Fire Charm into the match, it gives fire resistance 100% which will be very useful in this battle.
The Dustflier will move a short distance and then land, creating a powerful shockwave that will cover almost the entire field, as well as the ground itself. Make sure to jump over the shockwave and continue gliding until the field fades from the ground. At this point, the Dustflier will begin an actual attack. The Dustflier will either flip, dash forward, or shoot a bevy of homing fireballs. The first two attacks can be evaded by keeping your distance from the Dustflier, while the fireballs can be avoided by continuing to glide away from them. As soon as you escape these attacks, go for the Dustflier and land at least one combo on it; sometimes you can land up to three. As soon as the Dustflier flies back into the air, glide away from it and repeat this process. If you do get hit by the Dustflier's attacks, you'll lose a great amount of health, and will suffer a status effect. The shockwave, which has no element, inflicts a random status effect, while the Earth-elemental flip will inflict HP-half, the Aero-elemental air dash will inflict Air-Toss, and the Fire-elemental fireballs will inflict Ignite.
