Anti-Riku uses the same battle techniques as Riku. At the start of this battle, the player should immediately Lock-On to the boss. This should aid the player in keeping track of it, as Anti-Riku is fast. As soon as this is done, the player should attack Anti-Riku from the back. The player will not be able to deal damage if Anti-Riku is attacked from the front, as the boss will utilize Dark Shield and block them. A majority of this battle will be following Anti-Riku around the battlefield in front of Memory's Skyscraper.

Anti-Riku is a dark version of Riku that appears in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. It is fought in the Mission Mode version of Mission 93: Believe, replacing Riku at The World That Never Was. As it only appears in Mission Mode, Anti-Riku does not exist in Kingdom Hearts canon.

Design[edit]

Anti-Riku, true to its name, is a doppelgänger of Riku as he appears in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. Its entire body is black, as is the Oblivion Keyblade it wields.

Anti-Riku's name reflects the fact that it is an antagonistic, dark copy of Riku. The prefix "anti-" means "against".

Strategy[edit]

Main article: Game:Riku#Mission 93

Anti-Riku behaves the same way the real Riku does in Mission 93. At the start of this battle, the player should immediately Lock-On to the boss. This should aid the player in keeping track of it, as Anti-Riku is fast. As soon as this is done, the player should attack Anti-Riku from the back. Attacking Anti-Riku from the front will cause the boss to block with Dark Shield. A majority of this battle will be following Anti-Riku around the battlefield in front of Memory's Skyscraper.

When the player gets close to Anti-Riku, it will attempt a series of thrusts with its Keyblade. Anti-Riku may also launch a Dark Firaga attack if the player is not within close range. One can use proper timing of Guard to deflect this attack. When Anti-Riku's HP starts to diminish, it will begin to utilize a Dark Break-style desperation attack, which can be dodged via Dodge Roll or Glide. Just when Anti-Riku's HP is about to hit zero, it gains access to the Dark Aura ability. When using this attack, Anti-Riku will jet around the battle area, unleashing columns of black flame at the combo's end. The player can time this attack to when Anti-Riku's Keyblade begins to glow with a white-blue energy. Blocking the lunging combos Anti-Riku uses before its Keyblade glows will cause it to stagger, opening it to a brief combo. So long as one heals regularly and utilizes magic and one's Limit Break accordingly, Anti-Riku should fall relatively easily.
