Throughout the game, the Zip Slasher appears as an enemy with incredible strength compared to Roxas's expected strength during the mission it appears in, usually at lease twenty levels higher and capable of completely draining Roxas's HP with one combo. The Zip Slasher is most likely expected to be defeated by the player when they revisit the mission once they are strong enough to hold their ground against the powerful Heartless. It first appeared before [[Roxas]] and [[Marluxia]] as an optional boss in [[Twilight Town]]. It is Also imunne to all forms of magic And their negative status efects so use melée attacks Against it.

The '''Zip Slasher''' is an [[Emblem Heartless]] that is found in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]''.


==Design==
A Zip Slasher is a relatively small, humanoid Heartless covered from head to toe in blue, silver, and cyan armor. The armor on its legs sport white spikes. Its helmet sports two short, white spikes and a long, twisted, black antenna. A small opening in the front just barely exposes the Zip slasher's black face and glowing yellow eyes. Its most notable features are the light blue, interweaving blades in place of each of its hands. It has two Heartless emblems, one on each of its shoulder pauldrons.


The Zip Slasher's name seems to refer to its speed—as "zip" can refer to something moving quickly—and the blades on its hands—a "slash" is a swift cut with a bladed weapon.

The Zip Slasher is powerful, as it has high HP and damaging potential. It is immune to all forms of magic (although upgraded [[Blizzard]] magic can still freeze it for a short time). Physical attacks are the only way to damage the Zip Slasher. Also only use Limit Breaks when it is low on HP or on its last HP bar, as it can still attack with its deadly combo. It does not hesitate to attack, immediately lunging at Roxas.

This tactic is easily predicted, as the Heartless's blades glow green, and can be avoided with careful timing of [[Guard]] or [[Dodge Roll]]. The Zip Slasher's technique is to do a powerful spinning attack, then lunge toward Roxas with its powerful sword-like arms. Blocking this attack will not stun the Zip Slasher unlike its larger variations, but the Blizzard Block ability will freeze it easily. It should also be noted that the best time to attack is when the Zip Slasher pauses after each attack, which is about enough time for two combos. Also, the Zip Slasher will heal a little bit whenever it lands its powerful water-based combo, which can make this a tiresome battle. Despite its high health, the Zip Slasher can be defeated easily when Roxas revisits the mission.
This [[Heartless]] is rather small, about as tall as Roxas. Its armor light blue in coloration, it is basically a smaller version of the [[Dual Blade|Dual Blade Heartless]]. This would suggest that the Zip Slasher and its larger cousin are connected in some way.

The Zip Slasher is indeed powerful. It does not hesitate to attack, immediately lunging at Roxas. This tactic is easily predicted, as the Heartless's blades glow green, and can be avoided with careful timing of the [[Guard]] or [[Dodge Roll]] abilities. The Zip Slasher's technique is to do a powerful spinning attack, then lunge toward Roxas with its powerful sword-like arms. It should also be noted that the best time to attack this Heartless is when it pauses after each attack, which is about enough time for two combos. Despite its great amounts of health (a grand total of 11 HP Bars), the Zip Slasher can be defeated easily when the player revisits the mission. Also, the Zip Slasher will heal whenever it lands its powerful combo, which can make this a tiresome battle. A well timed blizzard spell has the potential to freeze him, leaving a few seconds to deal huge damage. You can usually eliminate 2 or 3 bars if you have a decent weapon equipped. The best time to blizzard him is right before the second part of his attack, where he lunges both blades at you.

The Zip Slasher is an Emblem Heartless that is found in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days.

Design[edit]

A Zip Slasher is a relatively small, humanoid Heartless covered from head to toe in blue, silver, and cyan armor. The armor on its legs sport white spikes. Its helmet sports two short, white spikes and a long, twisted, black antenna. A small opening in the front just barely exposes the Zip slasher's black face and glowing yellow eyes. Its most notable features are the light blue, interweaving blades in place of each of its hands. It has two Heartless emblems, one on each of its shoulder pauldrons.

The Zip Slasher's name seems to refer to its speed—as "zip" can refer to something moving quickly—and the blades on its hands—a "slash" is a swift cut with a bladed weapon.

Strategy[edit]

The Zip Slasher is powerful, as it has high HP and damaging potential. It is immune to all forms of magic (although upgraded Blizzard magic can still freeze it for a short time). Physical attacks are the only way to damage the Zip Slasher. Also only use Limit Breaks when it is low on HP or on its last HP bar, as it can still attack with its deadly combo. It does not hesitate to attack, immediately lunging at Roxas.

This tactic is easily predicted, as the Heartless's blades glow green, and can be avoided with careful timing of Guard or Dodge Roll. The Zip Slasher's technique is to do a powerful spinning attack, then lunge toward Roxas with its powerful sword-like arms. Blocking this attack will not stun the Zip Slasher unlike its larger variations, but the Blizzard Block ability will freeze it easily. It should also be noted that the best time to attack is when the Zip Slasher pauses after each attack, which is about enough time for two combos. Also, the Zip Slasher will heal a little bit whenever it lands its powerful water-based combo, which can make this a tiresome battle. Despite its high health, the Zip Slasher can be defeated easily when Roxas revisits the mission.
