Editing Game:Young Xehanort

  |KH3battlename2=L'Impeto Oscuro -Young Xehanort-  

|KH3battlename2n= (Ultimate attack variation)

|Has a similar but slightly different animation from the short combo. The combo finisher will hit from behind, so Terra and Ventus need to use a reprisal just before it hits to avoid it.

|Jumps back and releases an X-shaped shockwave from his blades that homes in on the protagonist.

|While the spears can be blocked, only Aqua's [[Barrier]] commands will block the entire attack, as they can hit from behind and thus pierce through Terra and Ventus's [[Block]] commands.

{{Atk|''Rush''

|Doom{{note|Can be nullified by breaking free. Countdown begins one number lower for each subseqent time the attack connects.}}

|Fires a web of energy at the protagonist and immobilizes them. Rapidly tap {{button|X}} ({{button|circle}} in the Japanese releases) to break free.  

|Casts a golden barrier around himself. If any of the protagonist's attacks connects, he will recover a bit of his health.

|Used if the protagonist attacks him head-first without an opening or attacks constantly with a long combo. If the boss uses this in response to the player's Shotlock, he will also summon a laser orb each time he is hit that will attack the player once the Shotlock ends.

|The boss will follow this ability up with Whirlwind, X Blade, or Aerial Dropkick. If the player is not currently using a command, an attack or Finish command can be buffered before the effect wears off. The boss cannot use this ability if the player is invincible, or if the boss is air-tossed, invisible, or has clones active.

{{Atk-c|note=The Unknown can summon four copies of himself to overwhelm the protagonist. Each of them share his Dual Blade, Dual-Wield Wild Dance, Rush, Collision Magnet, and X Blade attacks and there is no set pattern to their attacks. However, the copies can be easily destroyed with a clean hit. The boss will not stagger or use Renewal Barrier or Time Reversal while clones are active.}}

Alternatively, continue using Firaga Burst, Balloonga, and other attack magic in conjunction with spirit attacks. Keep also in mind the Haste Support Magic after being cast on Riku can be handy, not only to speed up the reloading times but also his main combos, which can keep staggering Young Xehanort as well. After Xehanort staggers from enough hits, he will use Guard Impact, where he Formchanges his Keyblade into a shield and if Riku hits it, Xehanort will counterattack. If he teleports up and falls, he will use Whip Wave. Get ready to block or to Shadow Slide when he reaches the ground. If Xehanort teleports constantly from right to left, he will prepare a version of Wild Arcanum where he warps between each strike. He will teleport like this twice; once he warps the fourth time, get ready to block or use Shadow Slide. If he is a fair distance away, he will start teleporting from side to side again, gradually getting closer to Riku, and use Flash Liner. Get as close to Xehanort as possible when this occurs. After he teleports the third time in this manner, use Dark Barrier near him to block the lasers and use Counter Aura in front of him. If possible, utilize Shadow Slide and Shadow Strike to attack and stop Xehanort's attack.

|Sweeps and stabs with the Keyblade, releasing crescent-shaped waves when he sweeps. Occassionally Formchanges his Keyblade into a whip and strikes, releasing waves, after the attack or against an airborne opponent.

|The attack consists primarily of a three-hit combo of a sweep - stab - left sweep. The first sweep knocks upwards but the waves cancel the knock upwards, and the stab knocks the opponent upwards for an extended period of time before striking them again with no window for evasion or blocking between strikes, which can negate Once More if an action or movement input is pressed.<br>The combo has variations as follows, telegraphed by various means.

*After teleporting 1 time behind the opponent, he performs either one left sweep or a fast three-hit combo.

*If used right away, he performs a three-hit combo with pauses between each strike, and has a chance to warp near Riku between each strike.

*On Critical Mode only, after running towards either Riku or one of his party members, he performs a fast three-hit combo, warps in midair near Riku, performs a combo of diagonal whip strikes and finishes with horizontal and downwards whip strikes.<br>Due to a glitch, his Keyblade's Formchange may not work properly, and the horizontal/downwards whip strikes won't deal any damage as consequence.

|Often used after teleporting into the air and falling down. Each swing covers more range than the previous one.

|Used after quickly teleporting 3 times while approaching the opponent from afar. The attack can be directioned around according to the opponent's position.

|Takes on a defensive stance, blocking any physical attack. When hit by any attack, retaliates by Formchanging his Keyblade into a whip and swinging twice, releasing crescent-shaped waves.

|Used after staggering from a good amount of consecutive hits after getting interrupted.

|Often used after teleporting far away from Riku. The projectiles cannot turn at a sharp angle, therefore are likely to miss, unless the target is very far. Only two separate projectiles are aimed straight at Riku, and can be avoided by moving aside with the correct timing.

|Often used after teleporting far away from Riku. Young Xehanort cannot stagger during this attack.  

{{Atk-c|note= The afterimages left by Young Xehanort's teleports may deal a bit of damage{{?}}<!--Does it have any stat?--> to an opponent when they move into them.<ref>[https://youtu.be/rtcrJJlae-8?si=kQntnNIe5OcjLdje&t=1689 the dream drop distance experience - 28:09]</ref> <br>When at 1 HP, Young Xehanort will stop time (Riku is invulnerable while immobilized), merge with a Clock, attempt to rewind time and recover to full health with his max HP cut at 30% of his initial HP if he succeeds. Riku must use [[Mirage Split]] within a narrow timing in order to prevent that. Subsequent time stops will have the timing window for activating Mirage Split be much less narrow than that of the first time. When used successfully, Mirage Split will open the next phase where Xehanort's Clock will assault Riku with Clones (see below).}}

|Two clones appear from the clock one after another and run, swinging a weapon in both hands in various motions.

|If Riku is in the air, the clones will stick to his position on the ground until their combo ends.

|{{AT|mag}} Fire<ref>This attack does not cause Dream Eaters that react to fire such as Meow Wow, Sir Kyroo or Lord Kyroo to catch fire.</ref>

{{Atk-c|note=The Clock starts being vulnerable when its HP is displayed. Young Xehanort's Clock starts by sending clones performing Dual-Wield Wild Dance, then others follow with either Raging Storm or X Blade, then others with Dual-Wield Wild Dance again, in a cycle. All techniques are used 5-6 times in a row before the Clock halts for a few seconds and moves to the next series of techniques.<br>The Clock's hands start winding back at the pace of approximatively every 7.5 seconds per wound hour, starting from 12 o'clock. The Clock phase therefore lasts around 90 seconds. When the Clock has unwound around 10 hours and a half, it will halt its attacks and, at 12 hours, rewind time, becoming invincible, while its maximum HP are cut down to 30% of its initial HP, and its current HP fully restored when the time rewind ends. This HP cut and recover effect gets applied to Young Xehanort as well.}}
