Getting close in can really take a chunk out of Sora and friends' HP, and can also take a large chunk out of your morale gauge during missions, so long-range magic is less dangerous. Although they have powerful attacks, they won't attack unless they are in range at the beginning of the battle or are provoked. These Heartless get especially fast when their HP gets low. | Getting close in can really take a chunk out of Sora and friends' HP, and can also take a large chunk out of your morale gauge during missions, so long-range magic is less dangerous.

When fighting an Assault Rider during the first visit to the Land of Dragons, keep a distance and pelt it with magic, preferably Thunder or Blizzard. An alternative is to simply go to town with [[Valor Form]], hammering the Assault Rider with as many combos as you can before the Form Gauge runs out. Guarding often is advised. | |||
During the second visit, use [[Master Form]] along with [[Wishing Lamp]] and [[Follow the Wind]], attacking with combos and powerful magic such as Thundara/Thundaga and Blizzara/Blizzaga. When it starts getting more aggressive with its attacks, don't hesitate to use [[Reflect]] magic when necessary. | |||
