Editing Game:Master Xehanort

  |tab1=KHBBS

Terra will fight both Master Xehanort and {{ns|Game|Vanitas}} two-on-one. Vanitas should be the primary target as Xehanort will mostly dodge and keep a distance from Terra. Xehanort isn't very difficult and after sustaining minor damage, the battle will end. On the PS4 version, Vanitas's HP has to be fully depleted in order to end the battle.

|Used below 40% HP during the underwater phase. Xehanort disappears when the pillars of fire converge until the end of the attack. Attacking Xehanort between two combos may result in the Continuous Attacks ending early.

{{atk-m|col=5|{{nihongo|'''Heavenly Pillar'''|ヘヴンリーピラー|<br>Hevunrī Pirā}}

|Erects a gigantic pillar of fire at the center of the plaza, damaging the surroundings, erects pillars of fire several other places similar to Flare Pillar, spreads fireballs similar to Flare Shot several times in a row, and Continuous Attack and rinse and repeat. After a while, erases the gigantic pillar of fire and draws the opponent to the center of the plaza while engulfing their body in flames, using "Siege Flare" if they are far away,<!--このとき、相手が遠くにいたら『囲みフレア」も使う--> then detonates a big bang (which also sprays rubble in the closing phase) after either enough time has passed or Sora is within range.

|Used during the opening phase when below 75% HP and at the start of the closing phase.<br>The attack will launch Sora into the air twice (once at the start, and a second time near the end of the first part of the attack), so [[Glide]] can be used to avoid the pillars. The first pillar is always placed at Sora's position. Xehanort will hide within the central pillar, only emerging to perform "Continuous Attacks". [[Dodge Roll]] or [[Air Slide]] can be used to avoid being sucked in to the warping fireballs and the big bang. After using this attack, Xehanort will be vulnerable for a short period. During the opening phase, this attack removes the flagpoles scattered across the arena as well.

[[File:Versus Master Xehanort 1 KHIII.png|thumb|right|Master Xehanort battles Sora, Donald and Goofy within Scala ad Caelum.]]

With his armor destroyed, Xehanort flees to the top of the tower with Sora and the party in pursuit. Cornered, Xehanort summons the χ-blade and engages the party in one grand final battle. Like the previous battle, Sora should equip [[Elixir]]s and a [[Kupo Coin]] for healing (if not used up yet), and the [[Ultima Weapon]] if possible for offense.

Armed with the legendary χ-blade, Xehanort has an arsenal of powerful attacks at his disposal. Sora should focus on defense, as "Knock Down" will prevent him from landing attacks easily. Sora should also be close to Xehanort as much as possibly to prepare for "Call Calamity". While Xehanort uses it occasionally, it is his most dangerous attack and even getting hit by blizzaza can cause devastating damage to Sora. It comes out fast and if Sora is too far when Xehanort throws the χ-blade, it will halt in front of him and activate the -za spell sequence immediately meaning Sora has no choice but to withstand it. The only way to avoid this is to stay very close to Xehanort to properly block the χ-blade throw. Successfully blocking the attack allows for Sora to follow up with a reprisal. Reprisals such [[Counter Blast]] and [[Wrathful Flurry]] are useful for injecting damage, as well as speedy Formchanges like {{c|Highwind|Formchange}}, [[Blizzard Blades]], [[Twin Yo-Yos]], and [[Nano Arms]], or homing techniques like [[Flare Force]].

After losing seven and a half health bars, Xehanort will initiate the second phase of the battle by summoning [[Kingdom Hearts]] via "Ascension", then immediately launch into "Dark Shooting". He will continue employing his earlier techniques, albeit enhanced via "Ascension".

|Summons pillars of light run around or forward, or performs "Continous Attacks" while emitting halos using the χ-blade. Furthermore, if the opponent approaches the light at the center of the plaze, it releases a ring of light to its vicinity.<!--光の柱を周囲や前方走らせたり、武器による連続攻撃(※9)を仕掛けたりする。 さらに、広場の中央の光に相手が近寄ったら、兆の周囲に円形の光を放つ-->

Although the rays are made out of beams of light, they deal dark damage. Xehanort is left vulnerable at the end. This attack is skipped if Return to the Light brings Xehanort to 1 HP.

Master Xehanort's data is a recreation of his final boss battle. He retains most of his attacks from the final battle, but this time he can [[Formchange]] the χ-blade into a myriad of weapons, such as a double blade that inflicts [[Leech HP]], a pair of chakrams that stun Sora on impact, a whip that has very long range which inflicts [[Time Break]], spinning bombs that can freeze Sora if they explode, spikes that shoot gold lasers from the sky, and massive aerial cannons that fire large red beams. He often combines the Formchanges with his old attacks.

 

 

 

Xehanort then calls upon Kingdom Hearts to flood the arena with a golden light, and pillars of light start to orbit out from the center of the arena. After a moment, Xehanort sends a shockwave towards Sora, followed by a spinning bomb, a set of 2 spinning bombs, and another single spinning bomb. Dodge the shockwave, and block-then-dodge-away from the bombs, as the bombs will explode unless Sora gets away from them quickly. Airstep to Xehanort as he throws the second single bomb for a chance to attack. After Xehanort has received some damage, the golden light on the arena will fade away.

For the remainder of Xehanort's first phase, he may use any of the above attacks, or any of the following additional attacks:

* Laser combo: Two waves of gold lasers will appear, followed by a third wave that also has a red laser. Dodge all three.

* Physical combo 1: Xehanort rushes in for a downward physical strike with the χ-blade, then an uppercut, and finally a downward strike. All three strikes can be blocked, and reprisaling as Xehanort finishes the uppercut grants a chance to attack. Alternatively, the uppercut can be dodged, and Sora can strike Xehanort as he finishes it.

* Physical combo 2: Xehanort rushes in, but does the uppercut first. Block-then-reprisal it, or dodge-then-strike for a chance to attack.

* Bombs into lasers: Xehanort throws one bomb, followed by rushing in for an uppercut physical strike at the same time as gold lasers spawn. Dodge the bomb, then block the uppercut and immediately reprisal for a chance to attack. The invulnerability granted by the reprisal will protect Sora from the gold lasers. Alternatively, dodge the lasers and the uppercut, then strike Xehanort for an opening.

* Red laser combo: Xehanort fires 6 red lasers, one by one. He re-appears in the center of the arena after the second fires, but disappears soon after the fourth fires. Dodge the first three red lasers, then airstep to Xehanort right as the 4th fires for a chance to attack. If Sora airsteps too early and the 4th red laser has not fired yet, strike Xehanort to stagger him, air slide to avoid the 4th red laser, and then airstep back to Xehanort to continue the combo.

At about 7 bars of HP remaining, Xehanort will summon a large red emblem and darken the arena. He will then perform a variant of XIII Combo, firing various gold and red lasers while summoning shadow Xehanorts to attack Sora. Xehanort himself cannot be attacked during this sequence, so focus on surviving.

* First combo: Gold lasers, then 4 shadow strikes. Dodge the lasers, then block the shadow strikes.

* Second combo: Gold lasers, 4 shadow strikes, and a shadow wielding the χ-blade will Formchange it into chakrams, followed by a double-bladed weapon. The chakram strike can stun Sora if it connects, but is blockable, while the double-blade strike is unblockable and will inflict [[Leech HP]] if it connects.

* Third combo: Gold lasers, 4 shadow strikes, double-bladed χ-blade, chakrams.

* Fourth combo: 4 shadow strikes, red laser.

* Fifth combo: 4 shadow strikes, 2 spinning bombs.

* Sixth combo: Gold lasers, red laser, 4 shadow strikes.

* Seventh combo: Gold lasers simultaneous with a shadow strike, 4 shadow strikes, double-bladed χ-blade. Jump then dodge the gold lasers, then block the shadow strikes mid-air, and dodge the double-blade strike.

After Xehanort's ultimate attack concludes, he is in his second phase, and adds the following attacks to his arsenal:

* Red laser + bomb + double-blade: Xehanort fires a red laser, followed closely by a bomb, and then a double-blade strike. Dodge each of the three, then strike Xehanort right after the double-blade finishes for a chance to attack.

* Formchange combo 1: Xehanort attacks with a whip, which inflicts [[Time Break]], then chakrams, double-blade twice, chakrams twice, and finally double-blade. The whip and chakrams can be blocked, however the double-blade still cannot be blocked. Strike Xehanort after dodging the last double-blade for a chance to attack.

* Formchange combo 2: Chakrams twice, whip, chakrams, double-blade. Strike after dodging the double-blade for a chance to attack.
