Air Pirates are not a particularly difficult enemy if dealt with quickly. Since they have no resistances, all spells work well against them. Being an airborne enemy, the best strategies are to use [[Thunder]] or just attack it with the [[Keyblade]].

===Strategy===
===''Kingdom Hearts II''===
====''Kingdom Hearts''====
Air Pirates are generally easy to defeat. Sora can jump and use an aerial combo to destroy it, or use magic like Thunder, or airborne [[Blizzard]]. Back away when it stands still in the air or starts to circle—this means it's about to attack. Another good way is to use the [[Reaction Command]] '''Air Twister'''. To do this first hit the Air Pirate once, then get a lot of distance between Sora and the Air Pirate. Then after it does a pointing pose, it will attack Sora with its '''Rush Kick''' attack. That's the time to use '''Air Twister''', which allows Sora to spin the Air Pirate around and attack surrounding enemies. If damaged at close range, it will instead retaliate with its '''Kick''' attack.
