| The '''Assault Rider''' is an [[Emblem Heartless]] that appears in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''.
| |
|
| |
|
| ==Design==
| | The '''Assault Rider''' is a [[Heartless]] from ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''. It appears primarily in [[The Land of Dragons]]. They have a centaur-like structure, and wield a large spear as their weapon. Getting close in can really take a chunk out of Sora and friends' HP, so long-range magic is less dangerous. These Heartless get especially fast when their HP gets low! |
| The Assault Rider is a centaur-like creature with a black, equine lower body with red hooves. Its upper body is muscular, vaguely humanoid, and has black skin. It wears grey Chinese armor over most of its body, as well as a small, conical, silver helmet with two curved, golden feathers and a red cape. Its pitch-black face is almost entirely obscured by its helmet, though its glowing, yellow eyes are visible. It carries a long {{w|guan dao}} with an angular, gold blade, a silver handle, and a red horsehair tassel at the base of the blade. | |
|
| |
|
| In ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'', the Assault Rider's body becomes predominantly lilac-colored, and its hooves become gold, and its hands and tail become violet. Its armor becomes red-violet and orange with gold lining. Its helmet, though still silver, is a bit brighter, its cape turns yellow, and its face becomes violet. The Assault Rider's guan dao now has a silver blade and an orange and purple handle, though the tassel remains red.
| | ==Journal Entry== |
| | ''Avoid getting hit with its spear by using the well-guarded Jump attack to defeat it.'' |
|
| |
|
| The Assault Rider's name refers to its battle prowess, as "assault" means "to attack," and its equine lower body, hence "rider."
| | ''When HP gets low, its attacks begin to get bold. Use big attacks to defeat it before it uses its explosive attack.'' |
|
| |
|
| ==Strategy== | | ==Location== |
| Getting close to this Heartless can really take a chunk out of the party's HP, and it can also take a large chunk out of the morale gauge during missions, so long-range magic is less dangerous. Although Assault Riders have powerful attacks, they will not attack unless they are in range at the beginning of a battle or are provoked. These Heartless get especially fast when their HP gets low.

|
| When fighting an Assault Rider during the first visit to the Land of Dragons, keep a distance and pelt it with magic, preferably Thunder or Blizzard. An alternative is to simply go to town with [[Valor Form]], hammering the Assault Rider with as many combos as you can before the Form Gauge runs out. Guarding when it rears back is advised, and counterattacking afterwards is also a good decision. Be warned, when it stops flinching from Sora's attacks, stop attacking and guard or retreat before it attacks.
| |
|
| |
|
| During the second visit, use [[Master Form]] along with [[Wishing Lamp]] and [[Follow the Wind]]. Attack with combos and powerful magic, such as Thundara/Thundaga and Blizzara/Blizzaga. When the Assault Rider starts getting more aggressive with its attacks, do not hesitate to use [[Reflect]] magic.
