==Strategy==
When facing [[Dual Blade]]s and other Heartless in their family, the usual strategy is to circle around it and wait until their spin/thrust attack, then attack while it recovers. However, this knight has a much shorter recovery time than all the other knights, so hit it with [[Thunder]] magic to pause it for longer. As usual, ignore the sidekicks, since they tend to be replaced as soon as they are defeated. Instead, avoid or block their attacks and focus on taking out the boss first, and then go back and finish them one by one until they stop popping up. When it starts charging up for its rush attack, be sure to guard at the right time to knock it down and deal a painful combo while its down.
When facing a Dual Blade, it is best the player keep in constant motion to avoid the Heartless's attacks. Block its spinning thrust attack, and jump to avoid the [[Aero|Aerora]] spells it launches. When the Heartless jumps high into the air, be sure to jump and Glide out of the way, or suffer damage when it comes down and causes a short-ranged shockwave to erupt. When the Dual Blade charges power, immediately Block to avoid the powerful long-range slash attack that follows, as it may inflict the Air-Toss status effect. Blocking this attack successfully will cause the Heartless to collapse, increasing damage that can be done with magic or attacks. Once it recovers, the Dual Blade will use the attacks in its arsenal at random. So long as one heals regularly and uses their Limit Break or magic as needed, the Dual Blade should not be much of a challenge.
 
All of the Heartless in the Dual Blade's have a similar attack pattern. When your physical attack is blocked, that is the time to cover. When it jumps up, air dash or glide around until it falls, avoiding its shockwave.

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days

This large and aggressive knight Heartless's skillful defense makes it tough to finish off.
Though its focused slash can be stopped with a block, blasting the knight with Thundaga while it is storing up energy will stagger it, opening it up to extra damage, especially from magic.
