As its name suggests, the Anti Black Coat wears a [[black coat]]. Its circular, red eyes are visible from underneath the coat's hood. It bears the [[:File:Symbol - Dream Eater (Nightmare).png|Nightmare Dream Eater insignia]] on its back and magenta flame designs on its sleeves and coattails.

His battle stance while holding a blade weapon during Wild Arcanum is identical to that of [[Young Xehanort]].

==Strategy==
==Strategy==
Riku should maintain a hit-and-run/block strategy when fighting the Anti Black Coat, as the Nightmare attacks every time Riku staggers him. He can avoid a majority of the boss's attacks with well-timed [[Dodge Roll]]s or [[Dark Barrier]]. To damage the boss, he should rely on using his [[commands]] like [[Balloon]] spells or [[Shadowbreaker]] at the right moment mostly when the Nightmare is close and not about to teleport. [[Curaga]] is essential during this battle as well, for it can quickly replenish Riku's [[HP]] if he is hit by the Anti Black Coat's "Shadow Steal" technique, that can be avoided by either blocking or dodging forward. The Nightmare can use this technique at any random moment, noticeably when combined with other attacks or when he is idling, and if he follows this attack by any other one while Riku is getting freed, it can become a guaranteed [[Game Over]]. Provided Riku has [[Once More]] and [[Second Chance]] equipped, the [[HP orb]]s that are spread across the battlefield can act as a failsafe in case Curaga is still in cool down or if [[Leaf Bracer]] isn't equipped. Riku may as well combine [[Doubleflight]] followed by [[Firaga Burst]] and [[Ice Barrage]] for a temporary safe spot, making him avoid most of the boss's attacks while dealing major damage, as most of said attacks cannot hit Riku, with the exception of Poison Arrow. Shadow Steal can still hit Riku while in midair if he isn't in a sufficient height.
The battle starts with the Anti Black Coat darkening the area around Riku. Riku should maintain his distance when fighting the Anti Black Coat, as the Nightmare warps away rather often, and closing the distance can be tough while the enemy attacks. He can avoid a majority of the boss's attacks with well-timed [[Dodge Roll]]s or [[Dark Barrier]]. To damage the boss, he should prioritize using magic or projectile [[commands]], but at the right timing, that is when the enemy isn't about to teleport. [[Curaga]] is essential during this battle as well, for it can quickly replenish Riku's [[HP]] if he is hit by the Anti Black Coat's "Shadow Steal" technique, that can be avoided by either blocking or dodging forward. The Nightmare can use this technique at any random moment, but noticeably when combined with other attacks (Wild Arcanum excluded) or when he is idling, and if he follows this attack by any other one while Riku is getting freed, it can become a guaranteed [[Game Over]]. If he gets struck while near the enemy, most if not all of the HP prizes that get scattered around will be grabbed by the Anti Black Coat, which will replenish almost all of his HP. For that reason Riku should avoid using melee attacks or commands. Provided Riku has [[Once More]] and [[Second Chance]] equipped, the [[HP orb]]s that are spread across the battlefield can act as a failsafe in case Curaga is still in cool down or if [[Leaf Bracer]] isn't equipped. Riku may as well combine [[Doubleflight]] followed by [[Firaga Burst]] and [[Ice Barrage]] for a temporary safe spot, making him avoid most of the boss's attacks while dealing major damage, as they most of the time cannot get Riku, with the exception of Poison Arrow. Beware that Shadow Steal can still hit Riku while in midair if he isn't at a sufficient height.[[File:Versus Anti Black Coat KH3D.png|thumb|right|The Anti Black Coat about to fight against Riku in The World That Never Was.]]
