Stealth Soldier

The Stealth Soldier (ステルスソルジャー, Suterusu Sorujā) is an Emblem Heartless that is found in Kingdom Hearts Final Mix. It is a slightly larger version of the Soldier. They become visible once inflicted with Stop or are dealt enough damage.

Design

A Stealth Soldier is a humanoid Heartless with dark gray skin. It has large hands with blue claws and wears tattered, red boots with curled toes. It also wears silver bracelets and faded, blue knee guards. Its pitch-black head and glowing yellow eyes are visible under its silver helmet, which is decorated by a curled antenna and two angular, black spirals. The Heartless emblem is emblazoned on its chest.

The Stealth Soldier's name reflects its ability to become invisible.

Strategy

These enemies appear in Hollow Bastion and are very dangerous for their high speed and ability to charge right through Sora. This can especially hurt if it is at the point where Sora can't defend himself very well with his Wooden Sword. Using Beast at this point is very advisable. Once Sora regains his Keyblade if his stats are still low it is advisable to use the Stop spell to get past them as surprisingly they are very much stronger than Soldiers.

When the Stealth Soldier attacks by running into Sora, this may cause the Wooden Sword or Keyblade to fly out of Sora's hands. Once it is seen, defeat it immediately.
