Strategy
The Lingering Will is an incredibly dangerous opponent. Especially for those challenging it for the first time, Sora should be leveled up as much as possible, and he should have all of his growth abilities, as well as support abilities such as Once More, and Second Chance.
It can move swiftly through the air across the field, and it uses a wide variety of attacks, many of which employ its Keyblade, Ends of the Earth.
- The Lingering Will dashes through the air at Sora three times, swinging its Keyblade. The timing of the dashes is easily predictable, so Sora can avoid being hit by using Dodge Roll or Guard. If it lands after the third dash, it will be vulnerable, so it pays to anticipate where its third dash will end; however, it may instead follow up with another attack, particularly the whip attack detailed below. This attack resembles the Birth by Sleep version of Sliding Dash.
- The Lingering Will attacks Sora twice with its Keyblade before turning it into a drill-like object and thrusting it at Sora. It is not easy to predict when the Lingering Will will use this move, but Sora can easily defend using Guard or Reflect magic. After this attack, the Lingering Will returns its Keyblade to normal, after which it is vulnerable to attack. Attacking early will result in Sora taking damage. This attack resembles the combo finisher for the Dark Impulse Command Style.
- The Lingering Will transforms its Keyblade into a long whip and swings it around itself, rapidly dealing a great deal of damage. There is very little warning before it uses this attack, although it often uses it at the end of the dashing attack detailed above. It is possible to either dodge or guard it, but it may be easier to simply move out of range. After it finishes its attack, the Lingering Will will drop to the ground, briefly open to attack. If caught by the whip attack, Sora will retain one HP due to Once More, as long as he does not attempt to escape with Aerial Recovery or Retaliating Slash. He may escape the attack by entering a Drive Form or using a Limit.
- The Linger Will transforms its Keyblade into a cannon and uses Terra's Ultima Cannon Shotlock. It fires one sphere of energy that tracks Sora across the battlefield. The sphere can be deflected back at the Lingering Will if Sora is fairly close to it, dealing damage and rendering the Will vulnerable. The explosion can also be avoided with [[Dodge Roll] or Quick Run.
- The Lingering Will transforms its Keyblade into a bow and fires three shots at Sora. If one hits him, the Keyblade becomes a staff, and the Lingering Will binds Sora with a seal that drains his HP.
