|journalBBS=Unversed come from negativity—this one from Lady Tremaine and her daughters' jealousy as they watched Cinderella quite literally have a ball with the Prince. For a bad guy, the Symphony Master had a pretty okay act: three whole instruments! Sadly, they were instruments of doom, so Terra had to kick this maestro off the podium.

The '''Symphony Master''' is an [[Unversed]] that is found in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]''. It is one of the bosses at [[Castle of Dreams]], and is fought by [[Terra]].


==Story==
==Locations==
===''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''===
===''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''===
After [[Cinderella]] and [[Prince Charming]] meet, [[Terra]] notices some Unversed on a balcony overlooking the ballroom. He travels up to the balcony, only to be faced with the Symphony Master. The Unversed summons three massive instruments, attacking Terra with sound waves. Terra, escaping before being hit by a resulting explosion of energy, fights off the Symphony Master.
*[[Castle of Dreams]]


==Design==
==Story==
The Symphony Master is a tall, humanoid Unversed that resembles a marching band conductor. It wears a light red coat with black cuffs, a high, black collar, two black M-shaped patterns on its chest, white pauldrons with gold tassels on its shoulders, and a gold trim. Its pants are white, very baggy, and have several creases on them. It has white gloves with black fingertips and knee-high, black boots with slightly curled toes. It also wears a tall, light red {{w|shako}} with a black feather-like decoration on it and a gold trim. The Symphony Master's black head has grey horns shaped like musical notes on its sides a relatively large spike on the back of its head. When it takes off or loses its shako, it reveals short blonde hair with a widow's peak, similar to [[Luxord]]. Its red eyes are set in an angry expression and it always carries a gold, lightning bolt-shaped baton. The Unversed insignia is on its back. Every move the Unversed makes creates glowing musical notes and lines.
Some time after [[Cinderella]] and [[Prince Charming]] met, Terra spotted some Unversed on the balcony. Terra raced onto the balcony only to encounter the Symphony Master who promptly attacks him with its instruments. The [[Grand Duke]] tries to call the guards but they were nowhere in sight so Terra fought it off, and emerged victorious.
 
The Symphony Master is also always accompanied by three instruments that float around it; a trumpet, a violin, and a drum. It conducts them in time with its battle theme, ''The Tumbling''. Its {{w|drum}} is red with white rims, a white face emblazoned with the Unversed symbol, and grey, lightning bolt-shaped supports along its sides. It has two dark grey, conical drumsticks that end in gold spheres. The {{w|trumpet}} is almost entirely gold, save for its mouthpiece and valves, which are silver. The trumpet's slides have a unique, zig-zagging shape. The {{w|violin}} is fairly ordinary in appearance, save for its headstock, which is an odd V-shape, and the indentations on its sides, which are deeper than normal. It is predominantly brown with some black lightning-shaped markings on its body. The violin's bow is gold with a grip shaped somewhat like the infinity symbol and a black, arrowhead-shaped tip. All three of these instruments generate glowing, red musical notes as they play.


In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix]]'', the Symphony Master receives a palette swap which gives it a bright green coat and shako. Its shako's "feather" now sports a yellow and orange gradient fading pattern. Its pants now sport vertical stripes that alternate from black to white, its gloves become black, and the cuffs of its jacket switch from black to white, as do its boots. Its baton is now bright red.

Its red eyes are set in an angry expression and it always carries a gold, lightning bolt-shaped baton.  


The Symphony Master's instruments also change in appearance. The drum is now yellow with black rims, while the face of the drum remains white. The handles of the drumsticks become bright blue. The violin becomes a much darker shade of brown with more black highlights, while its bow becomes a much brighter shade of gold. The trumpet is largely unchanged, but also becomes brighter in color.

==Strategy==
==Abilities==
The Symphony Master is a much stronger opponent than the previously fought Unversed boss, the Wheel Master, and it must be defeated using a hit-and-run strategy, the best way to ensure Terra will take minimal damage in battle. Terra can utilize [[Shotlock]]s, [[Command Style]]s, and [[Dimension Link|D-Link]]s, so be sure to make good use of these special abilities.
The Symphony Master has the ability to control musical instruments using its conductors baton. It commands the instruments to attack either separately or in concert. The trumpet and violin will assault Terra with musical blasts, while the drum charges at him. The instruments may also charge at Terra simultaneously. When forced to fight on its own, it mainly uses its baton as a weapon by throwing it like a boomerang. It also jumps around creating shockwaves.  


At the start of the battle, the Symphony Master will command one of its three instruments to attack Terra. Each uses a different fighting style, so be prepared for a change in strategy with all three. Each instrument only has one HP bar, so tackling them should not be a difficult feat to accomplish. An instrument also drops much-needed HP orbs and other rewards when destroyed. If one faces the drum as its first opponent, it will home in on Terra and damage him when it makes contact, this tactic avoidable via the Guard ability. One may also utilize Counter Hammer if they have it equipped, the Guard and Counter Hammer combo a good way to damage the boss while still avoiding damage. If one faces the violin, it also will rush at Terra until it is within attack range, bombarding him with damaging sound waves. The Guard and Hammer combo can again be used to avoid this attack and damage the opposing instrument. Should one face the trumpet it will shoot sound waves as it follows Terra, meaning Slide should be used to avoid it as it moves. As the trumpet floats higher off the ground than the other two instruments, the Guard and Counter Hammer combo will be made useless. Strong aerial combos granted by a Command Style are the best way to successfully destroy the trumpet.
== Strategy ==
At the start of the battle, the player should immediately activate their Shotlock tactic in order to deal the most damage as possible at a relatively fast rate. It is then a matter of repeating this process while dodging the Symphony Master's attacks and jumping to land your own on the boss itself and the massive instruments surrounding it.


Once all the instruments have been destroyed, the player can focus on the Symphony Master. As its main means of offense; the distraction method it used with its instruments, is gone, the Unversed boss will begin leaping around the battlefield, creating shockwaves as it lands. Slide can be used to avoid the attack, the player then able to bombard the boss with either aerial combos or a powerful ground finisher. The Symphony Master also may elongate its conductor's baton, throwing it at Terra with a boomerang effect. The player should either Slide out the of way or use Guard to defend against it. It can also separate the baton into smaller batons and throw them at the player, similar to [[Larxene]]'s throwing knives. The Symphony Master will then alternate between these three attacks for the duration of the battle. Note that landing a powerful combo finisher causes the boss to drop its hat, leaving it stunned and open for attacks until it picks it up, but be careful as it will promptly glow with dark energy, damaging the player if he or she is too close. Also note that its instruments do not have to be destroyed to defeat the boss, but it makes the fight easier. So long as one has patience and uses the correct strategies, the Symphony Master will not be a challenge.
The first line of defense this Unversed has are the instruments that fight for it, the Symphony Master commanding either its violin, trumpet, or drum to attack. The violin and trumpet will assault Terra with sound waves, while the drum merely charges at him. It may also cause all three instruments to charge at Terra at the same time. It should be noted that destroying these instruments grants rewards such as HP Balls and Munny. The Symphony Master will then shine with dark energy that damages you when its instruments are destroyed, so it is best to keep away from the boss at this point. The Symphony Master may then jump, causing a massive shockwave to erupt upon landing, this topic best dodged by a run or jump at the right moment. It is after this attack that the boss may extend the length of its conductor's baton and use it like a boomerang. Also, on a side note, attacking the boss enough times will cause it to drop its hat leaving it open to more attacks until it picks it up again, but beware as after doing so it will become enraged and glow with dark energy.

It is not necessary to destroy the instruments in order to defeat the Symphony Master. Heal when necessary and continue to use the proper Deck Commands as necessary. The Unversed will then fall with relative ease.
