Normally in the early stages, Terra-Xehanort will be the same as [[Game:Master Xehanort|Master Xehanort]], being very patient in accordance to the player's moves; however his offense is arguably more punishing with increased mobility due his Sonic Impact, dashing around the battlefield, surrounded in darkness and invulnerable to damage. This normally is used whenever the player tries to attack him recklessly or when traps (e.g. Mine Square) are laid in front of him, and would often cause confusion due to his varying dashing patterns.

Often after two or three Sonic Impact dashes, Terra-Xehanort often performs one of his attacks at random as a counter-finisher, otherwise, if a specific attack or damage-area is ongoing, then Terra-Xehanort will continue to dash-dodge in random directions for the whole duration. Terra-Xehanort also has access to the Block and Counter Hammer combo, as Guard Impact, thus he should be physically attacked mainly from behind to avoid retaliation whenever possible.

Aside from this, Terra-Xehanort would normally choose to make the first move with his own version of Terra's Ars Solum or Dark Impluse abilities when enough time passes. Regardless, the best move to make against his dashing tactic and any of his normal combo attacks is to use Block and immediately follow with a Counter Hammer. This will do great amounts of damage to Terra-Xehanort, causing him to Sonic Impact away from the enemy. However, it should be noted that Sonic Impact will not be interrupted when blocked, and Terra-Xehanort may use an unexpected attack after a Sonic Impact that can't be blocked normally.

As Terra-Xehanort's HP starts to dwindle, his true power is unleashed. He may use a variation of the Demolition finisher, Rock Storm, causing several large rocks to erupt from the ground and bombard the player. While this attack can potentially deal heavy damage, it can be defended against with a well-timed Block. Don't try to go for Terra-Xehanort at this time as he will escape by teleporting. He may also summon a large meteor if the player is at close range.  

This attack requires precise timing to dodge, the player needing to wait for the pool of darkness to travel beneath them and then using the Slide ability, which can also be used to avoid many of Terra-Xehanort's attacks or get the Lingering Will out of attack range. As Terra-Xehanort's HP lowers even further, he will chain the close-range Quake spell with the Rock Storm spell.  

It is recommended that the player Cartwheel away from the boss and use the Mine Square ability. Terra-Xehanort will most likely Sonic Impact in the player's direction surrounded in darkness as he did in his battle with the Lingering Will, but he will be damaged by the mines, his attack interrupted and opening him to more damage. However just like before, there is a chance he'll most likely dash around any attack that would be landed on him in the open, with trap-based attacks being no exception if Terra-Xehanort happens to dash somewhere else towards a possible blind-spot. Because of this, commands like the aforementioned Mine Square should be used more to limit and control his movement instead of outright trying to damage him. For Level 1 challenges, it is recommended to use Peter Pan's Swordbill D-Link Finish command when catching Terra-Xehanort offguard, it can also be used when he's preparing Ars Solum or using Dark Impulse as he will be locked in his combo and unable to evade the hits with Sonic Impact.  

In early stages of the battle, the Dark Figure will vanish from behind Terra-Xehanort and begin to strike from underneath Aqua with Dark Aerial. This can be avoided with timed Cartwheels or parried using Barrier and Counter Blast; however, Aqua should time the Counter Blast correctly by using it after one strike has been blocked and done to take advantage of its invincibility frames to avoid the incoming next strike. If the Dark Figure's attack lands, it will grab Aqua and slam her into the ground to deal heavy damage. Blocking and countering this attack can fill the command gauge really quickly, and is a reliable way for Level 1 challengers to score a [[Swordbill]] with Peter Pan's D-Link and end the fight early. Once it returns to Terra-Xehanort, strike the boss with the most powerful attacks possible and continue with a hit-and-run strategy. Terra-Xehanort may avoid Magic or Shotlock attacks by going from side to side when he isn't attacking. The Dark Figure may sometimes attempt to shoot twin energy balls at Aqua. Use Barrier to block these projectiles, as they can blind Aqua. Cartwheel should be used to dodge when the Dark Figure sends dual waves of energy in Aqua's direction, as this attack is unblockable. If Terra-Xehanort ever attempts dashing towards Aqua, to use his Ars Solum combo, Block him and knock him away with a Barrier and Counter Blast combo. This combo can also be used if the Dark Figure ever attempts to punch Aqua with its mighty fist. The boss and his symbiote will repeat these attacks until much of their HP is depleted.

|Stun<ref name="ars solum stun">The stun prevents the opponent from interrupting/avoiding it once it hits, except for the last hit. The stun can be seen on the opponent when they either accidentally avoid a hit or if they manage to hit and interrupt Terra-Xehanort at the same time as his first hit lands.</ref>

|Launches multiple dark projectiles straight at the opponent.

|When his HP below 50% during Terra's scenario, and 75% during the Final Episode, he will start using a longer version of this ability, where he summons fewer projectiles around him with some aimed straight at the opponent, then finishes by launching several projectiles straight at the opponent.

|Only used when his HP drops below 50% during Terra's scenario, and 75% during the Final Episode. He may also use this ability twice in a row.

|Summons a bunch of meteors randomly from the ground of the arena that then aim and crash at the opponent.

|Only used during Terra's scenario, when Terra-Xehanort's HP drops below 50%. He will warp each time the Lingering Will approaches him or aims with a Shotlock.

|O (sometimes △)

|X<ref name="deflect">Can be deflected with a physical command that gives invincibility frames. Terra-Xehanort can take the explosion damage, depending on the timing and the position of the explosion.</ref>

|Formchanges his Keyblade into a large cannon which fires a single ball of energy. The exploding impact covers nearly 2/3rds of the arena.

|X<ref name="deflect"/>

|Only used when his HP drops below 25% during Terra's scenario, and 50% during the Final Episode. During the Final Episode, Terra-Xehanort may summon two meteors in a row. The meteor can also appear without him telegraphing it or at the same time as another attack.

|Stun<ref name="ars solum stun"/>

|Terra-Xehanort doesn't ready himself when using the attack in this fight.

|The Dark Figure fires two orbs of darkness towards Aqua.

|The Dark Figure detaches itself from Terra-Xehanort to attack Aqua from below several times.  If hit, the Dark Figure will grab, rush to the sky before crashing down and slamming her at the ground, creating a large shockwave.

|Resembles Ansem's Aura of Darkness/Dark Shadow, while the animation of the rushes resemble his Rush/Dark Rush.

|Only used during the phase triggered by Phantom Charge, at long range.

{{Atk-c|note=When not attacking, Terra-Xehanort responds to magic/projectile attacks by moving sideways, nullifying the attacks.}}
