It may be wise to equip the party with Lightning-resist armor before heading out to battle the dragon. Once the battle is underway, Sora will start out on the Heartless' back. Sora can choose to either attack the dragon's head directly, or attack the horns near the wings. If one chooses to attack and destroys both wings, Storm Rider will collapse on the ground and Sora will be able to unleash more powerful attacks without the risk of falling off. The Storm Rider will try and perform a barrel roll to shake Sora off (this becomes a double barrel roll later in the fight), counter this with the reaction command, which lets Sora stay on and keep attacking. | It may be wise to equip the party with Lightning-resist armor before heading out to battle the dragon.

Should Sora get knocked off the dragon's back, the giant heartless will begin attacking him. 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 have homing capabilities. The Storm Rider can also dash across the courtyard, dropping a series of bombs on the party, 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, dealing immense damage. Stay as close the side of Storm Riders wings to avoid damage. | Should Sora get knocked off the dragon's back, the giant heartless will begin attacking him.

The Storm Rider will charge and fire two beams; during the second beam, lightning will strike horizontally across the electric walls at Sora's location, so keep moving along the corridor lengthwise to avoid these. | ||
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 Sora 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 long enough for Sora and party to deal major damage. | If Sora and the party are on the ground, the dragon may start to spin slowly toward Sora.
