The '''Dual Blade''' is an [[Emblem Heartless]] that was introduced in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]''. It is one of the bosses at [[Halloween Town]].


==Design==
The {{nihongo|'''Dual Blade'''|デュアルブレード|Dyuaru Burēdo}} is a large Emblem [[Heartless]] fought by [[Roxas]] and [[Demyx]] in [[Halloween Town]] in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]''. Roxas also fights a pair of these Heartless with Luxord in a later mission to the same world. It is one of the many Heartless bosses that Roxas fights in his time with [[Organization XIII]]. It is the basic form of many other Heartless with the same design.
A Dual Blade is a large, humanoid Heartless covered from head to toe in silver and grey armor. The armor on its legs sport white spikes and steel blue highlights. Its helmet sports two short, white spikes and a long, twisted, black antenna. A small opening in the front just barely exposes the Dual Blade's black face and glowing yellow eyes. Its most notable features are the blue interweaving blades in place of each of its hands. It has two Heartless emblems, one on each of its shoulder pauldrons.


The Dual Blade's name is a clear reference to the two blades on its arms that it uses to attack.
==Journal Entries==
===''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''===
''This large and aggressive knight Heartless's skillful defense makes it tough to finish off.''<br />
''Though its focused slash can be stopped with a block, blasting the knight with Thundaga while it is storing up energy will stagger it, opening it up to extra damage, especially from magic.''

==Strategy==
==Strategy==
When facing a Dual Blade, it is best to keep in constant motion to avoid the Heartless's attacks. Block its spinning thrust attack, and jump to avoid the [[Aerora]] spells it launches. When the Dual Blade jumps high into the air, be sure to jump and Glide out of the way, or suffer damage when it comes down and causes a short-ranged shockwave to erupt. A well-timed Dodge Roll can also prevent damage. When the Dual Blade charges power, immediately Block to avoid the powerful long-range slash attack that follows, as it may inflict the [[Air-toss]] status effect. Blocking this attack successfully will cause the Heartless to collapse, increasing damage that can be done with magic or attacks. As the Dual Blade's journal entry suggests, [[Thundaga]] will have the same effect on this Heartless. Once it recovers, the Dual Blade will use the attacks in its arsenal at random. Be sure to heal when necessary.
When facing [[Armored Knight]]s, the usual strategy is to circle around it and wait until their spin/thrust attack, then attack while it recovers. However, this knight has a much shorter recovery time than all the other knights, so hit it with Thunder magic to pause it for longer. As usual, ignore the side kicks, since they tend to be replaced as soon as they are defeated. Instead, avoid/block their attacks and focus on taking out the boss first, and then go back and finish them one by one until they stop popping up. When it starts charging up for its rush attack, be sure to guard at the right time to knock it down and deal a painful combo while its down.
 
== Attack Pattern ==
All of the "blades" have a similar attack pattern. When your physical attack is blocked, that is the time to cover. When it jumps up, then glide around until it falls, avoiding its shockwave.

On Mission 54, the pumpkin bombs on the floor are pretty useful. After hitting one, lure the Dual Blade near it, and the explosion should take out 1 bar of the Heartless's HP.
