Strategy
Attacks
- Swing Down: Downward club swing
- Swing: Jumping club swing
- Stab: Stabbing attack
- Spin Attack: Wide-arc club swing
Begin the battle by locking on and backing away. Hayner's attacks consist of two-hit combo followed by a short thrust. Both attacks leave him wide open for a counterattack. Keep a safe distance and don't stop moving. Wait for Hayner to make the first move. Get a feel for the attack speed, and move in before he has a chance to recover.
The best tactic for getting all of Hayner's orbs is to apply pressure. Lead him toward a corner, and race around him to reverse positions. Continue the assault until Hayner is nearly out of orbs, then retreat to collect any that bounce away. When fighting Hayner, use the Explosion ability to take out most of his orbs. Remember that, like all Struggle battles, you can play it safe by making sure that you have more orbs than Hayner, then keeping your distance until time runs out. In the Struggle Tournament on the 4th Day at the simulated Twilight Town, Hayner has the most HP out of all of the combatants.
