The '''Anti Black Coat''' Nightmare is a [[Dream Eater]] that appears in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]''. He is the physical manifestation of a nightmare that has trapped [[Sora]].
The '''Anti Black Coat''' is a Nightmare [[Dream Eater]] that appears in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]''. It is a physical manifestation of the nightmare that Sora experiences while trapped in sleep.
 
==Design==
As its name implies, the Anti Black Coat wears [[Black Coat|a garment of the same name]]. Its hood is up, showing none of its face save for its disk-shaped red eyes, signature of a Nightmare [[Dream Eater]]. The Coat has magenta flame designs printed on the sleeves and around the bottom coattails. Prior to its fight with [[Riku]], the [[:File:Symbol - Dream Eater (Nightmare).png|Nightmare emblem]] appears on its back, mirroring the Spirit emblem on the back of Riku's outfit. When performing melee attacks it summons up black and red [[Ethereal Blades]] that it wields in a similar fashion to how Riku wields his Keyblade.

==Design==
As his name suggests, the Anti Black Coat wears a [[black coat]]. His circular, red eyes are visible from underneath the coat's hood. He bears the [[:File:Symbol - Dream Eater (Nightmare).png|Nightmare Dream Eater insignia]] on his back and magenta flame designs on his sleeves and coattails. His battle stance while holding a blade weapon during Wild Arcanum is identical to that of [[Young Xehanort]].

==Strategy==
==Strategy==
The battle starts with the Anti Black Coat darkening the area around Riku. Riku should maintain his distance when fighting the Anti Black Coat, as the Nightmare warps away rather often, and closing the distance can be tough while the enemy attacks. He can avoid a majority of the boss's attacks with well-timed [[Dodge Roll]]s or [[Dark Barrier]]. To damage the boss, he should prioritize using magic or projectile [[commands]], but at the right timing, that is when the enemy isn't about to teleport. [[Curaga]] is essential during this battle as well, for it can quickly replenish Riku's [[HP]] if he is hit by the Anti Black Coat's "Shadow Steal" technique, that can be avoided by either blocking or dodging forward. The Nightmare can use this technique at any random moment, but noticeably when combined with other attacks (Wild Arcanum excluded) or when he is idling, and if he follows this attack by any other one while Riku is getting freed, it can become a guaranteed [[Game Over]].  
;Attacks
*{{nihongo|'''Wild Arcanum'''|ワイルドアルカナム|Wairudo Arukanamu}}: Six-hit melee combo.
*{{nihongo|'''Poison Arrow'''|ポイズンアロー|Poizun Arō}}: The Anti Black Coat releases a spray of fast-traveling homing particles toward Riku; each hit inflicts Poison with a duration of ten seconds. Some of them stay suspended in the air near the Coat. In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance HD]]'', the poisoning effect is removed from both the Beginner and Standard Mode difficulty levels only.
*{{nihongo|'''Scissor Bite'''|シザーバイト|Shizā Baito}}: This attack has two variants: "horizontal", in which the Anti Black Coat shoots a clawed hand at Riku; and "vertical", in which the clawed hand springs up from beneath Riku with little warning.
*{{nihongo|'''Shadow Steal'''|シャドウスティール|Shadou Sutīru}}: Quickly shoots a red line across the ground; if Riku is unable to block or dodge in time, he is projected by a blade going upwards that has the effect to reduce him to 1 HP and to scatter HP orbs across the arena. The 1HP reducing effect remains until the attack is finished. If the Coat follows by Wild Arcanum or Scissor Bite, Riku will certainly be defeated. The Anti Black Coat can also pick up the orbs to regain some health. If Riku's Dream Eaters are hit, their HP won't be reduced to 1 HP.


If he gets struck while near the enemy, most if not all of the HP prizes that get scattered around will be grabbed by the Anti Black Coat if he stays where he is, which will replenish almost all of his HP, and for that reason, Riku shouldn't close the distance unless he can predict an incoming Shadow Steal. Provided Riku has [[Once More]] and [[Second Chance]] equipped, the [[HP orb]]s that are spread across the battlefield can act as a failsafe in case Curaga is still in cool down or if [[Leaf Bracer]] isn't equipped. Riku may as well combine [[Doubleflight]] followed by [[Firaga Burst]] and [[Ice Barrage]] for a temporary safe spot, making him avoid most of the boss's attacks while dealing major damage, as they most of the time cannot get Riku, with the exception of Poison Arrow. Beware that Shadow Steal can still hit Riku while in midair if he isn't at a sufficient height.
The main thing in this battle is to act with caution! The Anti Black Coat has some very powerful attacks that can devastate Riku if caught off guard; however, they can be dodged if prepared. It is advisable to keep moving throughout the battle to avoid getting hit by multiple attacks in quick succession.  The Anti Black Coat has three main attack abilities:  an attack from below, an attack from the front, and one that approaches on the ground in front of you to drain all but 1 HP. All of these attacks can be avoided by dodging. To avoid the attack from below, keep moving until the big shadowy circle appears at your feet, then wait about a second and dodge right before the attack sends out its "tentacles". To avoid the frontal attack, wait until the attack is very close to you in its flight then dodge. The arms should close, missing you. To avoid the draining attack, wait until the attack (a small shadowy blob on the ground connected to the Coat by a shadowy line) gets very close then dodge out of the way, it is recommended to dodge this by dodge rolling forward. It is a good strategy to continue dodging these attacks until you can get close to the Coat to attack him. It is best to use quick, powerful commands because he will often teleport away from you after only one or two hits before launching a melee barrage of his own. When the Coat is running, he is most likely moving in to melee attack you, so be prepared to block and counter.
