Game:Young Xehanort: Difference between revisions

==Strategy==

===''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''===

Young Xehanort is a powerful boss and one of the strongest enemies in the game. His attacks are varied and hard to predict, similar to those of the [[Lingering Will]].<ref name="Dengeki"/> Not only is he immune to all status effects, but he has a great deal of HP as well. The boss is very swift and can inflict massive damage to the protagonist, quickly knocking them out unless they have Second Chance or Once More equipped. Xehanort is also adept in defense; he can use Renewal Barrier if attacked too much, and he sometimes rewinds time after taking damage, allowing him to recover some of his lost HP.

===''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance''===

To provide for defense, Riku should equip [[Dark Barrier]], [[Dark Roll]], [[Counter Aura]], [[Leaf Bracer]], [[Second Chance]], [[Once More]], and [[Slow Block]]. His Command Deck should include homing attacks like [[Balloonga]], [[Firaga Burst]] and [[Dark Firaga]], as well as powerful attacks like [[Dark Aura]], [[Dark Splicer]], [[Meteor Crash]] and [[Shadowbreaker]], and healing commands like [[Curaga]]. Also, make sure to have two Spirits that have healing commands, that can cast Support Magic like Haste, Spirit Roar at the same time as well.

{{Atk-c|note=When at 1HP, Young Xehanort will stop time (Riku is invulnerable while immobilized), merge with a Clock, attempt to rewind time and recover to full health with his max HP cut at 30% of his initial HP if he succeeds. Riku must use [[Mirage Split]] within a narrow timing in order to prevent that. Subsequent time stops will have the timing for activating Mirage Split be longer than the first time. When used successfully, Mirage Split will open the next phase where Xehanort's Clock will assault Riku with Clones (see below).}}

===''Kingdom Hearts III''===

Young Xehanort is fought alongside Ansem and Xemnas by Sora, Riku and [[King Mickey]] as the final boss fights of the Keyblade Graveyard. Although his health is less than that of the other two top-tier members of the Real Organization XIII, he is still not to be underestimated. Young Xehanort is able to turn his Keyblade into a whip that has a long range and can also briefly ensnare Sora and is able to summon a small rift to launch a whip attack from. He can also summon a ring of 9 icicles that he launches at Sora which deals Blizzard damage and his deadliest attack has him summoning a circle of time that stops time as he unleashes invisible attacks at Sora. It's recommended to take him out first as he's the easiest to combo, if hit twice by his whip combos, it is possible to quickly block the third attack and use [[Risk Dodge]] to fight back. The whip combo can also hit you in the air. Each member will have a dark aura surrounding them whenever they disappear and reappear to attack, which means they'll only target Sora and each of them will use a specific attack with the one with the aura appearing last. For Young Xehanort, Ansem and Xemnas will create dark mines and ethereal blades followed by Xehanort's time-stopping attack. Jump and block the ethereal blades and use [[thunder]] to destroy the mines to avoid damage. During Master Xehanort's storm of Keyblades, each member will use an attack in a specific order. For all three, Young Xehanort will use his time-stopping attack followed by Xemnas's rolling attack and Ansem's shockwave. The best way to avoid them is to jump over Xehanort's, block Xemnas's incoming attack and [[glide]] away from Ansem. If Xemnas is beaten, Xehanort will launch the icicles followed by Ansem's shockwave attack. Having Riku and Mickey active is wise as they can do double and triple damage when attacking together, if they're trying to attack your target, it's wise to stop your combos and let them land their own.

{{Atk-o|KH3}}

Young Xehanort's fight at the Keyblade Graveyard is nearly identical to the base game, although Sora does have access to the [[Faith Volley]] and [[True End]] [[Team Attack]]s.

====''Data Rematch''====

Like with all the other data rematches, even though Young Xehanort's HP bar may be the least among them, he is still extremely powerful. Young Xehanort has a tendency to teleport often, create clone illusions, and throw feint swings, to confuse Sora before attacking. He will often formchange his Keyblade into a whip for a long reach, as well. He is also capable of freezing Sora with certain attacks, so it is recommended to equip [[Freeze Protection]] through equipment such as the [[Snowman Rosette]] armor or the [[Crystal Snow]] Keyblade. Only one of Young Xehanort's attacks is unblockable, so the first instinct for most of his attacks should be to block.
