The Storm Rider, as its name implies, wields the element of Thunder in its attacks and uses said element to its fullest. It can shoot lightning bolts from its wingtips and call lightning from the sky. Its most powerful attack is trapping opponents between two walls of electricity and shooting a large beam of thunder, causing massive damage on impact. Its only non-thunder attacks are dashing across the arena, carpeting it with bombs and spinning towards the party when they are on the ground. The carpet bomb attack can be easily predicted as the Heartless always claps its cymbal feet together beforehand. The dash attack can be avoided and used advantageously with a reaction command. | The Storm Rider, as its name implies, wields the element of Thunder in its attacks and uses said element to its fullest.

Firstly, it may be wise to equip the party with Lightning-resist armor before heading out to battle the dragon, since all its most powerful attacks are of that element. Once the battle is underway, Sora will start out on the Heartless' back. You can choose to either attack the dragon's head directly, or attack the horns near the wings. If you choose to attack the wings, and destroy both of them, Storm Rider will collapse on the ground and Sora will be able to unleash some more powerful attacks (eg: Drives) without the risk of falling off. | Firstly, it may be wise to equip the party with Lightning-resist armor before heading out to battle the dragon, since all its most powerful attacks are of that element.

The Storm Rider will try and perform a barrel roll to shake Sora off (this becomes a double barrel roll later in the fight), you should counter this with the reaction command, which lets you stay on and keep attacking. | ||
Should you get knocked off the dragon's back (it may well be impossible to stay on anyway), the giant heartless will begin attacking you. | Should you get knocked off the dragon's back (it may well be impossible to stay on anyway), the giant heartless will begin attacking you. It generally floats over a corner of the palace courtyard before attacking. It can energize six lightning bolts with its wings and fling them at Sora; using Reflect is recommended as the bolts home in on Sora. The Storm Rider can also dash across the courtyard, dropping a series of bombs on the party, this is the dragon's only non-elemental assault, and Sora should dodge it by running out of the way if possible. When Storm Rider gets low on health, it lands on the bridge on the southern side of the courtyard. Walls made of electricity form and close the party into a corridor directly in front of Storm Rider. The heartless then fires a massive beam of lightning down the corridor, inflicting immense damage. Attempt a dodge by going near the dragon's wings. | ||
If Sora and the party are on the ground, the dragon may start to spin slowly toward Sora. If this happens, run in front of it and use the Reaction Command '''Slide''' when It gets right next to you to dodge, and then use the command '''Vertigo Toss''' to toss and strike him down to the ground. This also deals a good amount of damage. It stays stunned on the ground just as long as if you attacked its two wings to knock it down. | If Sora and the party are on the ground, the dragon may start to spin slowly toward Sora.
