ストレングスブレード (Strength Blade)

This magic-resistant knight Heartless's skillful defense makes it tough to finish off.

Though its focused slash can be stopped with a block, blasting the knight with Aeroga while it is storing up energy will stagger it, opening it up to extra damage, especially from magic.

テイルバンカー

These large aerial Heartless are hard to hit in mid-flight.

Strike their wings and tail to force them to land, then target the head, which is susceptible to Blizzard magic.

アヴァランチ

These large aerial Heartless use their potent ice breath to attack their prey.

Strike their wings and tail to force them to land, then focus attacks on their head, which is weak against Fire.

ウェイブクレスト

These large aerial Heartless use their potent water breath to attack their prey.

This strain cannot be forced to land, so be sure to face them well-equipped to do combat in midair.

テイルミラージュ (Tailmirage)

These large aerial Heartless can't be harmed by blows to the head, instead warping to a remote location on impact.

They won't warp, however, if you attack their wings or tail, so focus attacks there. Go in equipped for aerial combat.

ウインドストーム

These large aerial Heartless use their potent whirlwind breath to attack their prey.

They are hard to hit in mid-flight, so strike their wings and tail to force them to land, then focus attacks on their head, which is weak against Thunder magic.

デブリスフロウ (Debrisflow)

Large and deadly, these flying Heartless pack extreme power and high HP levels.

Their arsenal includes Meteor breath and an invincible charge, and all of their attacks can inflict negative status effects on contact.

This specimen is easily in the strongest class of Heartless. Prepare accordingly.

バニッシュリザード (Vanish Lizard)

This camouflaged creature attacks prey with a tongue lash attack.

Block it to dizzy the lizard, then strike back. You can nullify its camouflage with a solid hit.

TIP: Light-based attacks like its glare will zap your radar, disabling the map.

ビハインドリザード (Behind Lizard)

Similar in form and behavior to the Veil Lizard, these foes attack prey with a tongue lash attack.

Block it to dizzy the lizard, then strike back. Blizzard magic is also especially effective.

ガードアーマー

Large and heavily armored, these Heartless will jump and then crash into the ground, creating a powerful shockwave.

They drop their heads after landing, however; strike then and the body will eventually fall to pieces, with each piece acting autonomously. Start with the limbs and take them all out.

パワードアーマー

This improved version of the Guard Armor still uses the same basic tactics.

The powerful shockwave it produces causes it to drop its head. Strike then and the body will eventually fall to pieces. Start with limbs and take them all out.

インビジブル

Both fast and strong, these Heartless pose a serious threat. They attack with a fearsome shockwave.

Time your combo finisher so it connects right after they catch their sword. This will cancel the shockwave and leave them open.

オーガ (Ogre)

Though faster and more powerful, these Heartless are otherwise the same as the Invisible. They attack with a fearsome shockwave.

Time your combo finisher so it connects right after they catch their sword. This will cancel the shockwave and leave them open.

ダークサイド

This giant Heartless will devour all around it if left unchecked.

The dark homing blasts fired from its chest can be turned back on it with a block. Target its hands or, if possible, its head.

TIP: Earth-based attacks like its homing blasts can halve your current HP.

ダークフォロワー

A stronger form of the Darkside. Though more powerful, it follows the same basic patterns as its predecessor.

Send back the dark homing blasts fired from its chest with a block, then attack either its hands or, if possible, its head for maximum damage.

アントリオン

This massive Heartless swims freely through the sand. Aim for its face when it breaks the surface.

After sustaining damage, it will take to the sky, but its cyclone shield protects it from direct damage while airborne. Instead, hit the debris it throws back at it to create an opening, then strike.

デモンズフォートレス (Demon's Fortress)

The cannonballs this heavy tank Heartless fires can be returned with a block to take out the archers perched atop it.

The battering ram that emerges from its mouth before it charges is especially weak. Capitalize on that vulnerability, but be sure to get out of there before it begins its advance.

This tentacle-shaped Heartless strikes with a savage bite. Block it or dodge roll out of the way, then counterattack.

パラサイトグレイブ (Parasite Grave)

A massive plant-like Heartless with a savage claw attack. The toxic pollen it spews from its head saps victims' HP for as long as they breathe it.

Destroy all of the Tentaclaws to dizzy the main body, then move in.

Note that defeating Tentaclaws or hitting them with magic will speed up the pollen bursts.

ブリードパフォーマー (Bleed Performer)

This newcomer to Wonderland splits in two, attacking as a pair. Unless both halves are defeated at the same time, they will continue the cycle of merging and splitting.

Counter its flamethrower with ice magic - Blizzaga if possible. Aeroga will halt its fiery spin attack.

スカイルーラー (Sky Ruler)

You need to destroy all the tail segments of this avian Heartless to reveal its core.

After each segment is destroyed, the Ruler of the Sky will glow red and charge its foes. Wait too close to the water's surface and it will fire a salvo of water shots.

Once the core is exposed, avoid the spray of coins and counter with Fire magic.

ダスク

These lesser Nobodies handle simple combat, recon and courier operations.

Though lacking in strength, they have a robust repertoire of close-range tactics, including spinning charge and arm thrust attacks.

サムライ

An advanced Nobody well-suited to combat in close quarters.

It pairs naturally high attack power with a dual blade attack that brings targets into submission.

These Nobodies serve under Roxas.
