| This article is about Cloud's boss article. You may be looking for the character named Cloud. |
Preliminaries
Template:InfoBoss
Cloud can be either an easy or overwhelming foe depending how you fought the six matches beforehand. Hopefully, you managed to minimize the damage taken and saved enough potions before fighting him. Cloud himself is fairly slow, but he has a wide attack range and speed. First, try by keeping your distance as pay attention to his movements, Cloud will try to pull the distance near by continuously executing Sonic Blade, which pierces targets with a high speed and damage. Should Sora be in his targeting range, Cloud will either executes Sonic Blade or make a high leap while stabbing his sword to the ground, creating a small impact. Cloud's stabbing attack can be easily dodged by Dodge Rolling when you hear Cloud yells. Be wary of Cloud's Sonic Blade, once his combo connects, there's a good chance that Sora will be killed. Luckily, Cloud mostly focuses on defeating Donald and Goofy before striking Sora which leaves better recovery time (provided if you have potions/MP left). While Cloud's standard sword combo appears overwhelming, it can be easily blocked with a perfecting timing of attack, or more preferable Guard, which left Cloud to be stunned for a fraction of second. It should also be noted that all of Cloud's attacks have recoil, which is exploitable. It should be an easy fight as long as there's enough curative items in your pocket.
The cutscence varies whether you defeats Cloud or not, which means the story continues should you lose to Cloud.
Hercules Cup
Template:InfoBoss This time, Cloud's overall stats increases, and he has another exclusive attack-Omnislash. He hits harder and faster, but still retains some of his weakness, which you can exploit. By now you should have cleared Pegasus Cup and learnt Strike Raid, so try to keep your distant from Cloud and start executing Strike Raid. Once around 50% of his HP is drained, he'll start to use Omnislash. Omnislash is a predictable move, but can be annoying to evade. When Cloud runs to the centre of the stage and charges,(a glowing yellow can be seen surrounding him) heal Sora to full HP and tab square for Dodge Roll when Cloud yells and slashes to evade. Cloud's Omnislash mostly homes at Donald and Goofy before focusing on Sora, but his finisher varies, though he uses the stabbing strike for his combo most oftenly. Sora should have learnt special attack abilities by now so don't feel shy to abuse it, should Sora ran out of MP, take a few hits from Cloud and heal yourself, and continue executing special attacks(provided Sora has MP Rage equipped.)
Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories
Template:InfoBoss Before fighting Cloud, it is recommended to have at least 3-4 healing cards, and quick reload cards plays.Hopefully, there's enough CP left to stock a few 0 cards. In order to win, knowing where your 0 cards are kept is very important , therefore it is suggested to place it in the last row of your deck. Every card played by Cloud, including individual cards will end up 2~3 hits, the first hit always stuns and damage you, while the second hit deals hefty damage. When Cloud stocks two "Cloud" cards, pay attention to what he is going to do, he'll mostly runs behind you and executes the sleight card-Cross-Slash+ behind you, let loose 0 cards to break his sleight. Eventually he'll stock three Cloud cards to execute Omnislash, his strongest sleight. Only release 0 cards when Cloud satrts yelling and flying, continue to break his cards and sleight and eventually he'll only have two cards left. Pick up from where you left and continue hacking him and he'll fall.
