Warning red.pngREAD BEFORE EDITING:
  • Red-linked phrases should not be de-linked or pipe-linked if the phrase is from an official publication. Instead, please start an article or redirect at the link's target.
  • Technical info must be written in accordance with the consensus formats. Adding technical info without using these formats creates extra work for other editors and wastes everyone's time.
  • Trivia will be removed if it fails to meet the notability guidelines.
  • Do not source news to fansite translations of official publications or journals. Instead, source the publication or journal itself.
  • Based on the spelling used by the games, "Grey" is preferred over "Gray".
  • Entelechy is used here per its English definition, and is not meant to imply that it is an official term within the Kingdom Hearts franchise.
  • Do NOT add voice actors to a character's article UNLESS YOU HAVE A CLEAR SOURCE TO SUPPORT IT.

The '''Air Soldier''' is an [[Emblem Heartless]] introduced in ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}''.
The '''Air Soldier''' is an Emblem [[Heartless]] that is found in ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]'', and ''[[Kingdom Hearts coded]]''.

A cousin of the [[Soldier]], bearing the same shadowed face and jagged visage, the dark-skinned Air Soldier is kitted out for aerial battle in an modified aviator cap that covers the upper half of the face and boasts a pair of shiny-rimmed goggles; the propeller on the top of the cap presumably assists it in hovering in battle, though its bat-like wings seem to do most of the flying work. The Air Soldier also wears thick black pants with an inverted brown Heartless-symbol silhouette at the knees and bulky brown boots with blue and gold toes. It fights with black elbow-length gloves featuring metal bands at the top and sharp red claws that allow for painful attacks.

In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Final Mix]]'', the Air Soldier and Soldier had their palettes switched, with the Air Soldier now shaded using the Soldier's bright blue and purple colors. The ''Final Mix'' wing membrane is also curved, rather than straight as in the original ''Kingdom Hearts''.


The Air Soldier's design was changed in ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]'' to reflect a more Grecian look, due to its primary appearance in the world of [[Olympus]].

The Air Soldier's name highlights its ability to fly, and could also be a reference to {{w|Airman|soldiers}} serving the Air Force.

For the majority of the time, the Air Soldier will hover just out of reach, then dash in to attack Sora. Fighting large groups of these enemies can be dangerous because of their high strength and quick attacks. When fighting a single Air Soldier, Sora should use magic to stun it, then close the distance with his Keyblade to finish it off.
When fighting large groups, it's a good idea to cast [[Thunder]] first off, then finish off the nearest Air Soldier. Cast Thunder again, and repeat. Be sure to heal when necessary. In the case Sora doesn't close the distance himself, they may do so themselves and dash at him, leaving potentially no breathing room for healing.
If timed correctly, Sora can earn technical points for blocking the Air Soldier's attacks.<ref>Before Kairi's rescue, 1 and 2 Tech Points can be earned for blocking any attack in ''Kingdom Hearts'' and ''Kingdom Hearts Final Mix'', respectively.</ref><ref>After Kairi's rescue, 27 and 135 Tech Points can be earned for blocking any attack in ''Kingdom Hearts'' and ''Kingdom Hearts Final Mix'', respectively.</ref>

Air Soldiers gain distance from their opponents first before attacking, so closing in on them can prevent them from taking the initiative. Once they're at a range watch for any sudden movements and be prepared to guard for when they dive down. Since Air Soldiers have a tendency to snipe the party while they're dealing with other enemies, alongside flying high up enough to safely attack without intervention from ground enemies' attacks, it's best to take these Heartless out first.
In certain areas of Olympus as well as in [[Battlegate 1]], Air Soldiers will appear carrying [[Bizarre Archer]]s with their feet. Attacking the Air Soldier will cause it to drop the Bizarre Archer.

For the majority of the time, the Air Soldier will hover just out of reach, then dashing in to attack the player. Fighting large groups of these enemies can be dangerous because of their high strength and quick attacks. When fighting a single Air Soldier, the player should use magic to stun it, then close the distance with their keyblade to finish it off. When fighting large groups, it’s a good idea to cast Thunder first off, then finish off the nearest Air Soldier. Cast Thunder again, and repeat. Remember to heal often, as the Air Soldier can defeat you on lower levels without taking your HP into critical beforehand.
