Strategy
At the start of the battle, Lock-On to this winged opponent and begin your attack. Ignore any that may have entered the battle, as their is no real gain for defeating them. This will be a mostly aerial battle. Make sure you are not on the ground, as the Dustflier will create large shockwaves infused with Fire energy whenever it lands. This shockwave has a long range, so use Glide to make a quick escape. This attack is used for a majority of the battle. When the Heartless Boss is not attacking, hammer it with the Keyblade.
The next and only other attack in the Dustflier's arsenal involves it landing on the ground, shooting homing fireballs. Glide can be used to escape this attack, as well. The Boss's attack pattern then repeats itself from square one. As long as players utilize their Limit Break, as well as the Glide Ability, this monstrous foe should fall in a matter of minutes. It is also recommended that you bring a Fire Charm into this match, as this will slightly lessen damage sustained from the Dustflier's attacks.
