The rest of the Sentiment's moves are not really that hard to dodge; the hard part is finding an opening to attack it. Occasionally but not very frequently, the Sentiment will unleash other attacks like teleporting itself around the player and attacking. Depending on the player's level, this attack can be countered with a guard. Another attack is diving underneath the ground and following the player from below, suddenly bursting out and unleashing fireballs around itself. This can be dodged by quickly dodge rolling just when the Sentiment's mark is underneath the player. Another attack is just firing a fireball at the player which will explode into several smaller balls and home in on the player, much like the original Vanitas's attack, only the fireballs will follow the player longer and will hurt more. Probably the easiest attack to dodge and then take advantage of is the Sentiment's "Shotlock", indicated by several red dots appearing on the player and the Sentiment firing a beam of energy. This beam can kill the player if not careful, but the player can use this time to work their way around the Sentiment and strike it a few times before the attack ends. Another lethal but easy to dodge attack is when the Sentiment dashes around in a circle and leave spikes of black energy which will suddenly join and instantly kill the player should they be in the wrong place.

When playing as [[Terra]], it is recommended that the player equip a deck solely with potions for healing, as using Cure spells will prompt the Sentiment to heal itself as well, making life hard for the player, and since Terra is by far the strongest of the trio, especially with the [[Chaos Reaper]], normal attacks will deal damage to the boss.

As [[Ventus]], the fight becomes much easier if the player has equipped a mastered Tornado (or even two), one of the very few Magic attacks able to do considerable damage to the Sentiment (but is only available for Ventus). The only problem is finding the right moment to use it successfully. Using the Tornado on the Sentiment twice and then striking it normally will end the battle quickly.
