Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days
This sword-wielding Heartless's skillful defense makes it tough to finish off.
Its spinning slash has the added effect of damage-draining HP from victims. Watch for it, then evade or deflect it with a block.
Appearance
This Heartless is rather small, about as tall as Roxas. Its armor light blue in coloration, it is basically a smaller version of the Dual Blade Heartless. This would suggest that the Zip Slasher and its larger cousin are connected in some way.
Strategy
The Zip Slasher is indeed powerful. It does not hesitate to attack, immediately lunging at Roxas. This tactic is easily predicted, as the Heartless's blades glow green, and can be avoided with careful timing of the Guard or Dodge Roll abilities. The Zip Slasher's technique is to do a powerful spinning attack, then lunge toward Roxas with its powerful sword-like arms. It should also be noted that the best time to attack this Heartless is when it pauses after each attack, which is about enough time for two combos. Despite its great amounts of health (a grand total of 11 HP Bars), the Zip Slasher can be defeated easily when the player revisits the mission. Also, the Zip Slasher will heal whenever it lands its powerful combo, which can make this a tiresome battle.
