Aerial Champ

Template:Enemy The Aerial Champ is an Emblem Heartless that is found in Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix.

Design

An Aerial Champ is a parrot-like creature with predominantly yellow plumage. Its round head, including its beak, is also yellow, though the tips of its tail feathers are orange and its neck and tail are white. Its eyes are large, black and yellow spirals on either side of its head. The Aerial Champ's wings are white and orange and sprout out of the top of its head rather than from its back or sides like real-world birds. Its legs are sky blue and it wears a large, blue boxing glove on each one. Its Heartless emblem is on its abdomen.

The Aerial Champ's name references its ability to fly and its increased strength when compared to the Aerial Knocker.

Strategy

Attacks

• Quintuple Hook: Five successive hook punches
• Triple Jab: Three rapid jabs
• Charge Punch: Rushing straight punch with massive glove

The Aerial Champ's main attack is punching. They tend to appear in packs, and have many vicious punch combos. They tend to dodge until they attack with multiple jabs. Magnet followed by Thunder is a quick way to defeat large groups of them although if there is one alone, a single aerial combo with a strong Keyblade such as Decisive Pumpkin or Hero's Crest is enough to take it out. If you get surrounded reflect is also a viable option as it deals high damage and has a large area of effect.
