Anti-Aqua behaves nearly identically to the [[Game:Phantom Aqua|phantom Aqua]] from ''[[Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-]]''. She begins the fight by activating [[Spellweaver]], and continues to fight in this mode. She usually attacks in tandem with doppelgängers, often firing homing orbs at Sora and performing spiraling attacks. All of these attacks can be guarded. She often teleports across the arena, and sometimes teleports before Sora can attack. When her retaliation point is reached, she often counters with an unblockable lunge. Occasionally, Anti-Aqua will wander across the arena with several doppelgängers, explaining her pain to Sora. While she and the doppelgängers will disappear after a short time, Sora can use Thunder to instantly expose the real Anti-Aqua. | Anti-Aqua behaves nearly identically to the [[Game:Phantom Aqua|phantom Aqua]] from ''[[Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-]]''.

As her health dwindles, Anti-Aqua gains access to two ultimate attacks. The first, in which she teleports in the air before firing Blizzard shards, can be guarded or evaded. The second is the Spellweaver finisher, where she and three of her doppelgängers perform a spinning attack. To escape the attack, Sora can either dodge out of the spiral, or block with a [[Formchange]] that blocks with barriers. | As her health dwindles, Anti-Aqua gains access to two ultimate attacks.

Although her pattern can be challenging, she has low health for the point in the game she is encountered. The recently acquired Nano Arms Formchange works well against her as it has strong distance closing potential as well as providing access to a Barrier guard. | Although her pattern can be challenging, she has low health for the point in the game she is encountered.
