Game:Young Xehanort: Difference between revisions

Young Xehanort has a variety of powerful attacks, all of which can defeat the player instantly if unprepared. However, nearly all of these attacks can be blocked or dodged with practice.

*'''Dash attack''': Transforms his blades into a spear and dashes forward, then flips backward.

*'''X wave''': Jumps back and releases an X-shaped shockwave from his blades that tracks the protagonist.

*'''Spear orbs''': Summons several orbs that fire spears of energy at the protagonist from every direction. This attack can continue during the Unknown's other attacks.

*'''Summon copies''': Summons four copies of himself to overwhelm the player. Each of them share his abilities, excluding vanish, and there is no set pattern to their attacks. However, the copies can be easily destroyed with a clean hit.

*'''Doom''': Fires a web of energy at the protagonist and starts a five second countdown. The player must rapidly tap {{button|X}} to end the attack, and if the countdown reaches zero they are defeated.

*'''Time reversal''': At any random moment when the player deals damage to him, he could potentially stop and reverse time to the precise moment before the player hit him. As soon as time is restored, he uses one of his other attacks before the player can react.

Young Xehanort is a powerful boss and one of the strongest enemies in the game. His attacks are varied and hard to predict, similar to those of the [[Lingering Will]].<ref name="Dengeki">''[http://www.ff-reunion.net/kh/2010/06/25/khbbs_dengeki_nomura_interview KHBbS: Dengeki PS—Nomura Interview, North American Edition Voice Actors and Added Elements]''</ref> Not only is he immune to all status effects, but he has a great deal of HP as well. The boss is very swift, with his attacks generally reducing the [[Terra]], [[Ventus]], or [[Aqua]]'s HP to 1. Xehanort is also adept in defense; he can turn mostly invisible, although he can still take damage and can be located due to his faint shimmer, and he sometimes rewinds time after taking damage, allowing him to recover some of his lost HP.

In the final stage of the fight, Xehanort remains inside the Clock which is now vulnerable to attack. Whilst he doesn't attack Riku directly, he creates clones of himself to defend the Clock. These clones are invincible but some of these can disappear if they are attacked and will attempt to swarm Riku with continuous combos and projectile attacks, such as turning into X like projectiles and fire tornadoes (Raging Storm-like). Whilst it is possible to block these attacks, it is safer to evade them, because blocking the latter two attacks will lock-out the clock. During the brief moments when no clones appear, the Clock is open to attack. If too much time passes and Riku fails to destroy the Clock, Xehanort will rewind time to the start of the fight as if the Reality Shift wasn't activated, therefore, hurry up when he definitively stops attacking you, because that means he will rewind time soon. You can also, if you are sure you can't do enough damage to finish him off in time, wait until he rewinds time because when Riku once again performs [[Mirage Split]] to trap Xehanort in the Clock, Xehanort will have less HP in this form as well. Multi-hit warping attacks such as Dark Splicer and Dark Aura can bypass the clones and take multiple health bars off of the clock, or even finishing it off if it's in its less HP form, but Riku can be attacked and projected by the next coming clones, especially those which use combos and fire tornadoes.
