Template:Enemy The Sapphire Elegy is an Emblem Heartless that is found in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days.

Design

A Sapphire Elegy has a smooth, conical, dark blue body that is sapphire blue at its base and has a Heartless emblem emblazoned on its chest. The top of its body flares outward and forms a jagged "collar" below the Heartless's spherical, pitch black head. It also wears a conical, dark blue hat that has a sapphire blue tip, a turquoise inside, and a jagged brim and a thin, curled tip. Like many Heartless, the Sapphire Elegy has glowing yellow eyes. Its seemingly useless feet sport three small, thin toes.

The Sapphire Elegy's name has the same structure as other Heartless in its family, consisting of a color—in this case, sapphire blue—and a musical term—in this case, an elegy, a song set to a melancholy tone, usually to mourn.

Strategy

The Sapphire Elegy is an annoyance to battle, as its ability to warp around the battlefield makes attacks difficult to land. It also has a large amount of HP, thus there is quite a bit that must be done to take one of these Heartless down. They like to team up with others of their kind, using them to serve as a distraction while they float peacefully along the sidelines of the fight. While they are not all-out offensive, they can swipe at those who battle it as a means of knocking them away. They do, however, drop a large amount of HP Balls and Munny, something much-needed after a long battle. They also have a chance of dropping any one of the three Rune Tech Items. Blizzard spells do decent damage to them, as well as keep them in one place for the length of the spell.
