The Dustflier appears at the Station Plaza after the basic requirements for the mission have been cleared, by defeating the other six Heartless bosses. With its immensely high defense, the battle with the Dustflier is largely one of survival. Watch out for the cues preceding each of the Dustflier's attacks. | The Dustflier appears at the Station Plaza after the basic requirements for the mission have been cleared, by defeating the other six Heartless bosses.

Its most common attack is a large, non-elemental shockwave that has a 100% of inflicting a random status effect. The Dustflier will leap a short distance and then land, releasing the shockwave on the ground. To avoid this, jump over the shockwave and air slide or glide until the until it dissipates. The Dustflier will then execute one of three followup attacks: a flip in the air that will [[Halve HP|halve Roxas's HP]], a flying charge that will [[air-toss]] the character, or a volley of fireballs that have an 80% chance of [[Ignite (status)|igniting]] the character. The flip and charge can be avoided by keeping one's distance or quickly moving to the side when the Heartless takes to the air. The fireball attack, which is signaled by the Dustflier spreading its wings and raising its head to the sky, can be avoided with continuous sidewards movements, or by hiding behind one of the brick walls beside the train station steps. It is also possible to [[block]] the three followup attacks, especially if [[Round Block]] is equipped. | The Dustflier is a powerful, yet predictable boss.
