The process for having Stealth Soldiers spawn depends on specific spawns within the room they have a chance of appearing in, with the initial encounter area being in the {{c|Entrance Hall|hb}}. They can also appear in the Grand Hall only AFTER Kairi's rescue, | The quickest way to destroy Stealth Soldiers is to cast [[Stop]] spells and deal a single combo before casting stop again. This process can use up a lot of [[MP]] if your Strength stat is not high, so it is recommended to stockpile a few [[Ether]]s before hunting them. | ||
However, if you can wail on the Stealth Soldier by locking onto it without using Stop, it's possible to damage it for a while and constantly knock it back with combo finishers (make sure to have no Combo Pluses or Air Combo Pluses equipped), giving it a hard time to breathe. Sora's special abilities (Sonic Blade, Strike Raid, Ars Arcanum and Ragnarok) can also stagger it with hitstun to keep it in place while dealing damage. | |||
Major note that if the Stealth Soldier is the only enemy left in the designated combat area of the room, then it will try to immediately vanish unless it's been knocked away by a combo finisher or frozen with Stop just in time. Thus, it's wise to try and focus on the Stealth Soldier if hunting it down for its item drops. This also applies if a Stealth Solider happens to go too far away from Sora and warps back to its spawning spot on its own, only to instantly reappear-then-vanish-for-good when Sora approaches its spawn point if any other enemies are not present (unless another enemy or more happen to be chasing him). | |||
If encountering the lone duo of Stealth Soldiers at the upper area of the Grand Hall, try and cast Stop on them (especially if you have Stopra or Stopga) as soon as possible as they spawn to keep them close to one another, and to interchange striking them and recasting it to keep them both in place if you plan to defeat both of them. | |||

====Spawning==== | |||
The process for having Stealth Soldiers spawn depends on specific Heartless spawns within the room(s) they have a chance of appearing in, with the initial encounter area being in the {{c|Entrance Hall|hb}}. They can also appear in the Grand Hall only AFTER Kairi's rescue. | |||
The main indicators for dictating a Stealth Soldier spawn is the Heartless amounts are rather few per spawn (making way for the Stealth Solider to fill their ranks), as well as if no other Soldier Heartless appear at all (neither normal Soldiers or Air Soldiers). | |||
Before the rescue, the Entrance Hall spawns will be influenced like so: | |||
*A single Stealth Soldier will appear in the middle of 4 [[Darkball]]s in front of the fountain. The default spawn is instead 6 Darkballs. | *A single Stealth Soldier will appear in the middle of 4 [[Darkball]]s in front of the fountain. The default spawn is instead 6 Darkballs. | ||

*Initially, 1 Large Body appears with 3 Wizards in the Grand Hall's foyer (with the prisons of the [[Princesses of Heart]] + the blue fire torches).

*If 2 Wizards + 1 Defender both spawn at the upper arena of the hall leading to the entrance of the {{c|Dark Depths|hb}}, then 2 Stealth Soldiers spawn by themselves after defeating the wave that spawns 3 Large Bodies.
