Editing Anti Black Coat

The battle starts with the Anti Black Coat darkening the area around Riku. Riku should maintain his distance and prioritize using magic or projectile [[commands]] when fighting the Anti Black Coat, as the Nightmare warps away rather often, and closing the distance can be tough while the enemy attacks and teleports when expected the least. Due to the enemy's Poison Arrow, Riku should have the [[Poison Block (KH3D)|Poison Block]] ability equipped to avoid further damage when hit.

He can avoid a majority of the boss's attacks with well-timed [[Dodge Roll]]s or [[Dark Barrier]]. Shadow Steal can be avoided by either blocking or dodging forward. Dodging it sideways requires it to be done at the exact moment during which the tentacle thrusts out at Riku's position. Riku may as well combine [[Doubleflight]] followed by [[Firaga Burst]] at its apex for a temporary safe spot, making him avoid most of the boss's attacks while dealing major damage, as these attacks only hit at ground level, 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.  

Shadow Steal can be used at any moment, but noticeably when combined with other attacks (Wild Arcanum excluded) or when the Anti Black Coat is idling. When Riku gets struck, and if the enemy follows this attack with any other one while Riku is getting freed from Shadow Steal, it can become a guaranteed [[Game Over]], even on Beginner Mode. In the case Riku also 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.

Because of this attack, [[Curaga]] is essential during this battle, for it can quickly replenish Riku's [[HP]] if he is hit by this technique. However, provided Riku has [[Once More]] and [[Second Chance]] equipped, the [[HP prize]]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. Having multiple instances of [[Treasure Magnet]] equipped and fighting during the HP Showers Forecast may help a little with the restoration of Riku's HP with those prizes while the former ability prevents the enemy from collecting them.
