-The Orcus has four main attacks. If you know the signs you can see them coming. The easiest way to defeat him (but not the best) is to strike right after he either flies toward you slowly and then strikes and to hit him after he fires out the purple balls. The hardest attack to dodge is when he sends his sword flying around the area, homed onto you. Then after the sword passes you a few times the Orcus will appear (you know when there is a big purple ring in the sky) and create a shockwave. The best way to try and dodge his flying sword is to roll out of the way. If you time it just right it should work. But if you do get hit make sure to heal yourself quickly. Another way to attack him is to perform an aerial combo against him when he comes out to use a shockwave attack. Just jump up and perform a combo. If you time it right the Orcus will be stunned and you'll be free to attack him without any counters or dodges, but make sure you get out of there quickly when he recovers! Another note, don't use [[Thunder]] spells against him because they heal him.
+The Orcus are a rare and powerful Heartless that have a very similar fighting style to the smaller, less powerful [[Invisible]]. They are swift and will try to stay out of attack range, so the use of magic, particularly the homing [[Fire]] Spell, is highly recommended. It is important that the player not use [[Thunder]] or any of the Spell's upgraded forms, as they will heal the Orcus. A well-timed aerial combo is another good way to damage this type of Heartless.
+Orcus use more powerful variants of the Invisibles' attacks. They may slash at the player with their swords if at close range, but a carefully timed Block can prevent the damage caused by this tactic. Orcus are also capable of shooting several downward energy balls that may grant the Lv. 1 status effect, but this attack can easily be avoided with a simple chain of Dodge Rolls, Air Slides, or even the Glide ability. The Orcus' last attack is by far their most devastating to one's health, the Heartless vanishing while their swords fly around the battlefield, dealing damage every time they collide with the player. This will occur several times and can easily be avoided by Dodge Roll or Glide, the Orcus finishing their combo by reappearing and spawning a massive shockwave with a relatively long range and high power. It is recommended that Glide be used to avoid this attack. Both the energy ball combo and the shockwave tactic will leave the Orcus vulnerable to attack to some degree, so long as the player dodge the combo first and then move swiftly with a quick aerial combo.
