Editing Game:Master Xehanort

|Warps above the opponent, grabs them with his right hand, pushes them down, then hit them with cold air from his left hand. Repeatedly press the {{button|x}} button while being pushed down to escape before being hit by the cold air.

[[Sora]] should have several [[Elixir]]s equipped, with [[Curaga]] set as a shortcut. Stocking a [[Kupo Coin]] is also helpful, but beware of its price. The [[Ultima Weapon]] will be the most efficient Keyblade to have equipped, but [[Hero's Origin]], [[Shooting Star]], [[Crystal Snow]], [[Hunny Spout]], and [[Wheel of Fate]] are also useful for their Formchanges. Xehanort's Flare attacks are all neutral-element, unlike their looks, instead of fire.

 

After the [[Replica Xehanort]]s are defeated, Master Xehanort absorbs them and dons his new [[Keyblade Armor]], then reshapes the plaza into a closed chamber to initiate the beginning phase. Keeping track of Xehanort's position can be difficult due to his speed and the size of the arena. [[Airstep]]ping can be used to stay close to Xehanort, but can sometimes result in accidentally leaping to one of the flagpoles dotting the arena. Speedy or homing attacks such as [[Flare Force]], [[Double Arrowguns]], [[Hunny Blasters]], [[Highwind]], and [[Blizzard Blades]] will be useful for dealing damage, while the defensive [[Counter Shield]] can be used for its [[Wrathful Fist]] reprisal.  

When reduced to 75% of his HP, Xehanort starts using Heavenly Pillar, damaging the arena, and removing all flagpoles. After dodging the scattered flame pillars, Sora should stay behind one of the houses at the bottom of the arena to avoid the Flare Shots, and parry the incoming Continuous Attacks, telegraphed by a sound or visual cue from Xehanort. Once the attack launches Sora into the air a second time, he should stand on a high ground, evade the Siege Flare, and, once the attack is over, perform a Diving Strike on the now vulnerable Xehanort.

After getting his health down to 50%, Xehanort will move the battle underwater, initiating the middle phase. As formchanges cannot be used underwater, Sora will not have access to [[Rage Form]]. Sora doesn't have access to shotlocks or counterattacks. He should then wait until Xehanort's combos end before responding with a combo. Regarding avoiding Xehanort's Flare attack, Sora should use the projectile attacks of his combo once, and slide the moment before the explosion happens.

Finally, after reducing his health down to 25%, Xehanort will move the battle to the stormy skies above the flooded town in ruins, initiating the closing phase. Sora will be alone during this phase, and consequently [[Donald Duck]] and [[Goofy]] cannot heal or support him. Sora should focus on dodging Xehanort's attacks during Heavenly Pillar, counterattacking his Continuous Attacks while evading his Face Claw which usually comes right after an attack, and healing when necessary.

|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}}

|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.

|Call Calamity can be nullified with a Block before the weapon touches the ground. Xehanort disappears after it does so. The weapon is targettable.

|Only used in the second phase, when below 25% HP.<br>Telegraphed by Xehanort raising a platform of light and using Kingdom Hearts to steal Sora's light and force him into Rage Form. Although the attack is made out of beams of light, the attack deals dark damage.

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.

* Dark Shooting and Lasers: Xehanort fires 2 purple meteors, a third meteor that coincides with unblockable gold lasers, 4 more meteors, and finally a wave of gold lasers. The meteors can be blocked, however the gold lasers cannot. Block the first 2 meteors, dodge the third meteor and the gold lasers simultaneously, block the next 4 meteors, and dodge the wave of gold lasers.

* Call Calamity: Xehanort appears and throws the χ-blade at Sora. If it connects or hits the ground, it will unleash a blast of Blizzard magic that will freeze Sora. Xehanort follows up with three fireballs and finishes with two thunderstorms, both combined with gold lasers. The magic and lasers are unblockable, however the thrown χ-blade is blockable if Sora is somewhat close to Xehanort when it's thrown - so when Xehanort appears, run towards him as he winds up the throw for this chance. Blocking the χ-blade reflects it back at Xehanort, cancels the entire magic sequence, and leaves Xehanort open to attack.

** Outside of the initial sequence, this attack can be anticipated if Xehanort disappears for longer than usual. If that happens, have Sora run towards the edge of the arena, and Xehanort should appear close enough that Sora can block the χ-blade.

* 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.

* Bombs combo: Xehanort throws 6 spinning bombs, one at a time. Dodge each, then airstep to him as he throws the sixth bomb for a chance to attack.

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.

* 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.

* 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.
