Several of Vanitas' attacks can Freeze Sora, so it is recommended to equip Freeze Protection through equipment such as the [[Snowman Rosette]] armor or the [[Crystal Snow]] Keyblade. Due to some of his Vanitas openings that involve teleporting can only be obtained through the use of a well-timed pre-launch Aero, it is essential to have it on the shortcut menu. Aerora and Aeroga are preferrable here due to their larger range. Using accessories like [[Rune Ring]] and [[Flanniversary Badge]] to ensure that you have enough magic to exploit this opening, especially when fighting Vanitas with all pro codes on. Having [[Block Replenisher]] ability equipped can help greatly in this matter since you can block a lot during this fight and avoid MP recharge. | ||
If Vanitas appears in the air above Sora, he is doing his triple downward slash combo. He will do three downward slashes, with the last breaking Sora's guard and leaving a cluster of ice on the ground. If Sora is hit by this third strike, he may get frozen. Block each strike, risk dodge after Sora's guard is broken, and attack. If Sora is in the air when blocking the third strike, he can perform a normal reprisal and still hit Vanitas for the punish. | If Vanitas appears in the air above Sora, he is doing his triple downward slash combo.

Depending on the height of the first two jumps, Vanitas will then end the combo in one of two ways: | ||
* If he rises very high for all 3 jumps, Vanitas starts falling after the third fountain, he will land on the ground and be open to attack - Airstep to him and strike. Be careful not to Airstep too early, or Sora will be above Vanitas and will miss. | * If he rises very high for all 3 jumps, Vanitas starts falling after the third fountain, he will land on the ground and be open to attack - Airstep to him and strike.

* If the first and second jump was shorter than his third jump, Vanitas disappears quickly after the third fountain and re-appears above Sora, he will perform a guard-breaking downward slash that leaves a cluster of ice. Block, then risk dodge after the guard break, and attack.

If Vanitas cartwheels some distance away and casts two Fire spells, he is doing his Fire combo. For each set of two shots, the lower fireball is fast while the upper fireball is slow and will break into smaller ones after a brief moment. He will cast two sets of these, then will rapidly teleport 5 times on the left, then right, left, right, and finally left before casting one fast Fire spell. Afterwards, he will cast a quick Fire up close, teleport twice and shoot a slow-moving Fire, shoot a fast-moving Fire, do a cartwheel, and cast one final Fire spell. Block the first two sets of Fire spells, and when he starts his five-teleport sequence, keep an eye on the left and count three teleports. Just before he casts his Fire, dodge roll towards him and attack. It is also possible to block and then Airstep to him to attack instead. If this fails, quickly block the next Fire, wait a moment to guard the slow Fire and the fast one, wait for the cartwheel, and then block the final Fire. | If Vanitas cartwheels some distance away and casts two Fire spells, he is doing his Fire combo.

If Vanitas cartwheels to the side and fires white beams at Sora, this is his white beam combo. He will fire three beams, with the third spinning. He will then repeat the three-beam combo, and backflip away. Guard the first beam, then use Counter Kick to close the distance and attack. It is common to get hit by the first couple of hits unexpectedly, but it is very possible to recover and block the remaining hits. | If Vanitas cartwheels to the side and fires white beams at Sora, this is his white beam combo.

In the 2nd phase, he has a variation where he will launch the beam one and teleport one at a time before doing this. | ||
If Vanitas appears far away but instantly teleports before materializing (essentially, a black ball in the distance), he will do his six-hit combo. He will perform four quick flashes at Sora with the fourth being a downward slash, then he will cartwheel on the ground, and follow up with two more hits. Guard immediately when Vanitas teleports at the start, block the first four hits, wait for the cartwheel, and then block the last two hits. To get the opening for this move, you must cast Aerora/Aeroga before he starts this attack and stay near the wind but not too close to the centre to avoid Sora going into a jump animation. If you are next to a wall, launching Aerora/Aeroga to the outside of the wall can prevent the jumping animation from happening. | If Vanitas appears far away but instantly teleports before materializing (essentially, a black ball in the distance), he will do his six-hit combo.

If Vanitas appears on the opposite side of the stage with a dark portal, he is performing his ultimate attack. A cloud of Keyblades will emerge from the portal, and Vanitas will ride on it. From here he will fire three Blizzards, perform a blue-tinted dash at Sora, fire another three Blizzards, blue dash, fire six Blizzards, and finally perform a pink dash. The blue dashes are blockable, however the Blizzards and the pink dash are unblockable. When he starts this move, Doubleflight into the air and glide away from Vanitas, which should make the Blizzards miss. When he blue dashes, Air Slide or block to avoid it. After dodging the pink dash, enter focus and Airstep to Vanitas as he lands to attack. Alternatively, it is also possible to cancel this entire move by hitting Vanitas with Thunder when the dark portal is still visible - just keep an eye on the far edge of the stage to know when to cast. | If Vanitas appears on the opposite side of the stage with a dark portal, he is performing his ultimate attack.

When Vanitas has about six bars of HP left, he will perform a variation of his ultimate attack. He will summon his cloud of Keyblades again, but this time form a large orb around himself. Streams of Keyblades and Vanitas shadows will fly out of the orb - the Vanitas shadows can be blocked, however the Keyblades cannot be blocked since they are glowing pink. | When Vanitas has about six bars of HP left, he will perform a variation of his ultimate attack.

This Keyblade cloud move can be cancelled the same way as before, with a Thunder while the dark portal is still visible. Since he will use the move at about six HP bars remaining, watch his HP carefully and prepare a Thunder cast when he is close to the threshold. | This Keyblade cloud move can be cancelled the same way as before, with a Thunder while the dark portal is still visible.

After the variant of his ultimate attack (whether it was cancelled or not), Vanitas will be in his second phase and will gain some new attacks. The opening for these attacks can only be exploited through the use of a well timed Aerora/Aeroga while Sora is stationary. If you case Aero while moving Sora will end up going into the spring board or out of the hitbox range to force Vanitas out of the teleport. | After the variant of his ultimate attack (whether it was cancelled or not), Vanitas will be in his second phase and will gain some new attacks.

He will fling two streams, pause, fling a third stream, perform an upward slash, pause, fling another stream, and finally spiral into the air with a fountain of Keyblades. Carefully time a block for each attack, keeping the pauses in mind. To get the opening here, dodge roll the first two Keyblade streams, cast Aero then guard the 3rd Keyblade stream and guard his upward slash. | ||
* If Vanitas fires a single slow Fire before disappearing, he will do his fireball-plus-slashes combo. He will appear with an upward slash while the fireball is still far away, then the fireball will break into pieces and approach, and Vanitas will follow with a quick slash. Vanitas will then shoot two fast Fires, do an upward slash, and then do three white beams with a teleport in between each. He will perform a cartwheel just before the last white beam. Be careful not to block too early upon seeing the first fireball, and guard each attack carefully, minding the pauses. If Vanitas retaliate from the previous opening, wait one second after he vanished before casting Aerora/Aeroga, then guard when you see the yellow cursor from afar to guard his teleport slash and he will be knocked out of the teleport. While he can be knocked and punished right there, the fireball attack will split and hit Sora so be sure to guard that as well unless you use Counter Kick for the I-frames from the previous guard. You could technically get the opening with Aerora/Aeroga after you block the split fireball attacks but the timing is quite strict. | |||
