Story

Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance

As Riku tries to wake Sora from his deep sleep, the Anti Black Coat appears. Riku accuses it of causing Sora's nightmare, and they engage in battle. Riku emerges victorious and the Anti Black Coat vanishes.

Design

As its name implies, the Anti Black Coat wears a garment of the same name. Its hood is up, showing none of its face save for its disk-shaped red eyes, signature of a Nightmare Dream Eater. The Coat has magenta flame designs printed on the sleeves and around the bottom coattails. Prior to its fight with Riku, the Nightmare emblem appears on its back, mirroring the Spirit emblem on the back of Riku's outfit.

Strategy

The Anti Black Coat has some very powerful attacks that can devastate Riku if caught off guard; however, they can be dodged if prepared. It is advisable to keep moving throughout the battle to avoid getting hit by multiple attacks in quick succession. The Anti Black Coat has three main attack abilities: an attack from below, an attack from the front, and one that approaches on the ground in front of you to drain all but 1 HP. All of these attacks can be avoided by dodging. To avoid the attack from below, keep moving until the big shadowy circle appears at your feet, then wait about a second and dodge right before the attack sends out its "tentacles." To avoid the frontal attack, wait until the attack is very close to you in its flight then dodge. The arms should close, missing you. To avoid the draining attack, wait until the attack (a small shadowy blob on the ground connected to the Coat by a shadowy line) gets very close then dodge out of the way. It is a good strategy to continue dodging these attacks until you can get close to the Coat to attack him. It is best to use quick, powerful commands because he will often teleport away from you after only one or two hits before launching a melee barrage of his own. When the Coat is running, he is most likely moving in to melee attack you, so be prepared to block and counter.
