Anti-Aqua is a corrupted version of Aqua. Her hair is a bleached blue, her eyes are yellow, and her once-white dress has darkened and become tattered.

Anti-Aqua behaves nearly identically to the [[Game:Phantom Aqua|phantom Aqua]] from ''[[Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-]]''. She begins the fight by activating [[Spellweaver]], and continues to fight in this mode. She usually attacks in tandem with doppelgängers, often firing homing orbs at Sora and performing spiraling attacks. All of these attacks can be guarded. She often teleports across the arena, and sometimes teleports before Sora can attack. When her retaliation point is reached, she often counters with an unblockable lunge. Occasionally, Anti-Aqua will wander across the arena with several doppelgängers, explaining her pain to Sora. While she and the doppelgängers will disappear after a short time, Sora can use Thunder to instantly expose the real Anti-Aqua.

Anti-Aqua is resistant to [[Blizzard]] magic, and while she is not weak to [[Fire]], the usage of Fire attacks reduce her revenge value by the attack's given value.

The shards can be guarded or evaded. The second is Mirage Wish, where she and three of her doppelgängers perform the Spellweaver finisher. To escape the attack, Sora can either dodge out of the spiral, or block with a [[Formchange]] that blocks with barriers.

Story[edit]

Kingdom Hearts III[edit]

Design[edit]

Anti-Aqua is a corrupted version of Aqua. Her hair is a bleached blue, her eyes are yellow, and her dress has darkened and become tattered, with scaly texture appearance. Her arms and legs have also begun to darken, and her hands are now black with red fingertips.

In battle, she wields Mickey's Star Cluster after he is disarmed while fighting a Demon Tower.

When she first reveals herself, Anti-Aqua initially appears as a black silhouette wreathed in a violet aura of darkness.

Strategy[edit]

Kingdom Hearts III[edit]

When retrying against Anti-Aqua
Anti-Aqua engages in battle against Sora within the Dark Margin.

Anti-Aqua behaves nearly identically to the phantom Aqua from Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-. She begins the fight by using Style Change to activate Spellweaver, and continues to fight in this mode. She usually attacks in tandem with doppelgängers, often firing homing orbs at Sora with Magic Shot and Encircling Magic Shot and performing spiraling attacks with Windmill Upswing, Windmill Shake Off, and Windmill Rush. All of these attacks can be guarded.

She often teleports across the arena, and sometimes teleports before Sora can attack. When her retaliation point is reached, she often counters with an unblockable Rush Lunge. Occasionally, Anti-Aqua will wander across the arena with several doppelgängers, explaining her pain to Sora. While she and the doppelgängers will disappear after a short time, Sora can use Thunder to instantly expose the real Anti-Aqua.

Anti-Aqua is resistant to Blizzard magic, and while she is not weak to Fire, the usage of Fire attacks reduce her revenge value by the attack's given value.

As her health dwindles, Anti-Aqua gains access to two ultimate attacks. The first is Mirage Blizzaga, in which she teleports in the air before firing Blizzard shards. The shards can be guarded or evaded. The second is Mirage Wish, where she and three of her doppelgängers perform the Spellweaver finisher. To escape the attack, Sora can either dodge out of the spiral, or block with a Formchange that blocks with barriers.

Although her pattern can be challenging, she has low health for the point in the game she is encountered. The recently acquired Nano Arms Formchange works well against her as it has strong distance closing potential as well as providing access to a Barrier guard.
