Editing Game:Lingering Will

Sora should have [[High Jump]], [[Quick Run]], [[Dodge Roll]], [[Aerial Dodge]], and [[Glide]] all at [[Level]] 3, as well as some support [[abilities]] such as [[Once More]], and [[Second Chance]]. He should pack as much [[Ether]]s as he can, and have at least one [[Combo Plus]]. Sora should also have [[Decisive Pumpkin]] equipped for its [[Combo Boost]].

The Lingering Will has a very high forced retaliation point/Revenge Value, meaning that it is especially vulnerable to multiple combo attacks. Therefore, the player should equip [[Combo Boost]], [[Air Combo Boost]], and [[Combo Plus|Combo Pluses]]. However, the player should be careful to back off before dealing a fifth normal combo finisher in a row, as the Lingering Will counterattacks quite harshly at this point. The combo portion of [[Ars Arcanum]], without the [[Reaction Command]] finisher, is also quite useful for racking up damage without triggering any forced-retaliations. The safest and most effective setup would be for Sora to have his two Combo Pluses equipped, along with [[Guard Break]] and [[Explosion]]. This allows him to fit exactly three Guard Break finishers and one Explosion finisher before the Will forcefully retaliates.

It mainly attacks by Formchanging its [[Keyblade]] into multiple forms to assault Sora. The Lingering Will's most basic attack is when it leaps in the air, and dashes at Sora three times. The timing of the dashes are easy to predict, so avoid being hit by Dodge Rolling or [[Guard]]ing. Anticipate where its third dash will end, and attack during its third dash. The Lingering Will can sprint towards Sora and perform a three-hit combo, Formchanging its Keyblade into a drill and thrusting it at Sora for the finisher. It isn't easy to predict when the Lingering Will is going to actually use this move after running, but Sora can easily defend himself using Guard, or [[Reflega]]. If Guard is used to block the attack, Sora must wait before attacking. If Sora starts the attack right after guarding, the Lingering Will's drill will take most of his health, and he will be knocked far away from the Lingering Will. The Lingering Will can [[Formchange]] its Keyblade into a whip and swing it around itself, dealing massive damage. Unfortunately, when it is going to use this attack is unpredictable, but it tends to use this move after dashing though Sora three times, or when receiving massive damage. Sora can defend himself with Guard or Reflega, but it is a lot better to just run away and quickly get close to the Lingering Will as soon as it is landing and attack it with a new combo. However, if Sora does get hit, do not try to resist with [[Aerial Recovery]] or [[Retaliating Slash]]. Being hit by this attack will more often than not leave Sora with only 1 [[HP]] left, if Once More (and preferably Second Chance) is equipped, so don't try to use Aerial Recovery of Retaliating Slash, or Sora will fall. To get out of the attack and save HP, activating a [[Drive Form]], or using [[Trinity Limit]] with [[Donald Duck]] and [[Goofy]] are the only ways for getting some invulnerability.

The Lingering Will can also use the [[Ultima Cannon]] [[Shotlock]] that appeared in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]''. It Formchanges its Keyblade into a cannon, and fires one giant sphere of energy that follows Sora around the battlefield. The explosion is huge, but Sora can deflect the sphere back at the Lingering Will by guarding, hitting it, or casting Reflega. If it is charging the cannon and Sora is too far away, then Dodge Roll, or Quick Run against it to nullify the explosion. If you are close enough to the cannon and guard against it, it will launch the Will leaving it vulnerable. The Lingering Will can Formchange its Keyblade into a bow-like weapon and shoots three deadly projectiles trying to catch Sora, but keep in mind that it shoots up five when low on HP. If any of the projectiles hits Sora, his health begins to drain and the command bar changes in a manner reminiscent of [[Xemnas]]'s curse from ''[[Kingdom Hearts Final Mix]]'', only showing '''Release''' and '''Fall'''. To break free of the curse, simply press '''Release'''; if '''Fall''' is pressed, Sora's health drops considerably. The projectiles can be evaded with the right timing of Dodge Roll, or Reflega, and when it turns its Keyblade back to normal form, that is the time to attack. However, if the Lingering Will's projectile hits Sora, the best way to break free from the curse is to glide away while waiting for the "Release" command.

The Lingering Will can also Formchange its Keyblade into the [[Keyblade Glider]] used by its complete self [[Terra]] in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'', and move around the map extremely fast. Using Guard is the best way to defend, and if Sora is in [[Final Form]] just Glide, as his Keyblades will protect him. Sora can attack when the Lingering Will lands, though it's hard to predict when and where. In addition to its Keyblade, the Lingering Will has some magical abilities as well, such as creating an strange looking seal that either creates a blue, or orange orb above Sora's head. The orange orb prevents Sora from attacking, while the blue orb prevents Sora from using [[Magic]] or [[Items]]. In order to break free from this curse, Sora has to deplete a new, smaller bar of HP, visible when the Lingering Will has been [[Lock-On|Locked on]] to. If a blue orb in seen, attack to deplete the bar, if an orange orb is seen, use Magic, [[Valor Form]]'s abilities, or [[Limit]]s in [[Limit Form]]. Either way, Drive Forms are still usable. Sora can evade this move by using Dodge Roll, Quick Run, or Reflega if timed right. It is unexpected when the Lingering Will is going to use this move, but when if it teleports suddenly behind Sora, then be prepared. Another clue for Sora to dodge this attack is when the Lingering Will begins flying at high speeds and repeatedly landing right behind Sora.
