Game:Lingering Will: Difference between revisions

Line 76: Line 76:
In the first phase of the battle, the Will usually executes its abilities in a predictable pattern, which corresponds to the first attack it used at the beginning of the battle. Remember to keep track of the Lingering Will's forced retaliation point to prevent being attacked unawares. In this phase, deflecting the Will's Ultima Cannon back at it will also count as a finisher that can fill up its hidden value towards the said point. When it is left with six or seven HP bars, however, it will use its desperation move for the first time, marking the end of the first phase.

During the final phase, the Lingering Will's AI can be exploited by always stopping Sora's combos just short enough, causing it to repeatedly retaliate-normally with its desperation attack in a predictable manner. Otherwise, the Lingering Will will instead generally forced-retaliate with its devastating triple dash attack and whip attack.

Otherwise, the Lingering Will will instead generally retaliate with its devastating triple dash attack and whip attack in sequence if the forced-point is reached, often choosing randomly between which of the two to start with.
 
Despite this, the Lingering Will can be fairly easily ripped apart by repeated use of [[Megaduck Flare]], alongside the use of plentiful Ethers in order to keep Donald's [[MP]] filled and the [[party]] alive.

<!--rewrite to take into account Megaduck Flare, as this strategy instructs the player to actually -avoid- the setup and situations that make LW vastly easier
<!--Donald can be a key component to surviving the Lingering Will's ultimate attack as well as his other attacks. If Donald is equipped with the Premium Mushroom along with his default MP Hastera, he can regain his MP in roughly 10 seconds. If the player unequipped all his other abilities apart from Donald Cure set to "Use this ability in special situations", he can cure Sora and other party members. However, as Donald lacks Once More and Second Chance, Sora should make every effort to keep it away from Donald by moving away from Donald as the Lingering Will only targets Sora and heal Donald the first chance they get, even if it means wasting their own cure as he will cure Sora if he is in critical condition. If Sora  sees the Lingering Will charging for its ultimate attack and Donald is unconscious, they should heal Donald immediately. During its ultimate attack, it's fairly easy to keep it away from Donald if Sora just glides away from him.-->
