| 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]]. | | The '''Dual Blade''' is an Emblem [[Heartless]] that is found in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]''. It is one of the many bosses fought in [[Halloween Town]], and one of the many Heartless bosses to become a regular enemy after the first encounter with one. |

| ==Design== | | ==Locations== |
| 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 Entry== |

| ==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 a Dual Blade, it is best the player keep in constant motion to avoid the Heartless's attacks.

So long as one heals regularly and uses their Limit Break or magic as needed, the Dual Blade should not be much of a challenge. |

| 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.
