Phantomtail: Difference between revisions

At the start of the battle, Lock-On to the Phantomtail's wings or tail as it hovers above you. As this is an aerial battle, you must jump to the Heartless' level before you can begin your attack. Use caution, as the Boss will eventually proceed to summon homing balls of blue energy to damage you. From this point forward, the Heartless will warp around the battlefield each time a hit lands to its head, making attacks difficult.

You must also be careful not to get too close to the Phantomtail, as it will stab you with its talons in an attempt to knock you away. Another attack in this Heartless Boss's arsenal involves it spiraling into you, dealing impact damage. The Phantomtail will also flip in the air, damaging those in its way. So long as you heal periodically, utilize your [[Limit Break]], and attack whenever possible while at the same time dodge the beast's attacks to the best of your ability, you should be able to tackle the Phantomtail in a matter of minutes. If you wish to use Magic in this battle, use it when the Heartless is stationary. Attempt a spell while the beast warps to a new location, and your spell is guaranteed to miss.

Another strategy is to continue hitting the Phantomtail's head. Though it may teleport away, if you can keep up, you can still continue to deal damage, and it will not be able to counter. If, however, it does gain the upper hand by avoiding your attacks, simply fly far away until it ceases attack. If it fires its homing energy balls at you, fly away, they will fizzle out eventually. Also, if you have [[Thunder|Thundaga]] equipped, wait until right after it ceases its spin or flip attacks, then let it rip.
