Game:Young Xehanort: Difference between revisions

To provide for defense, Riku should equip [[Dark Barrier]], [[Counter Aura]], [[Leaf Bracer]], [[Second Chance]], [[Once More]], and [[Slow Block]]. His Command Deck should include homing attacks like [[Balloonga]] or [[Dark Firaga]], as well as powerful attacks like [[Dark Splicer]] and [[Shadowbreaker]], and healing commands like [[Curaga]]. Also, make sure to have two Spirits that have healing commands, like a [[Meow Wow]] or a [[Komory Bat]].

Young Xehanort is an aggressive fighter and it can be difficult to score hits on him as he can trap Riku in a flurry of combo attacks that rapidly drain his health. Dark Barrier followed by Counter Aura is the most effective way of damaging him, although keep in mind that some of his attacks are unblockable and should be evaded using Shadow Slide. Xehanort tends to warp away from projectiles and attack commands but it is possible to use them against him when he pauses to launch his own ranged attacks. Be extra cautious if he shoots dark projectiles at Riku, they inflict Slow so quickly cure it with Esuna or a Panacea if Slow Block is not equipped. Make sure to watch how he warps around the arena, because it will signal which attack he'll use, and it gives you enough time to charge up a powerful attack, such as [[Meteor Crash]], for a big damage payoff. If he teleports constantly from right to left, he's about to charge at you. He will teleport like this twice, and once he warps the fourth time, get ready to block. But if he's a fair distance away from you, he'll start teleporting from side to side again, but he'll gradually get closer to you. After he teleports the third time in this manner, use Dark Barrier to block the lasers, or you could end up getting insta-killed (if you don't have Second Chance or Once More).
