Enemy Details:
- Shadow: HP: 15, Experience: 2, Drop: Dark Shard (4%). Shadows are the simplest Heartless, often defeated in one combo. Magic is faster when they appear in waves. They can hide in the ground, becoming invulnerable but still targetable.
- Soldier: HP: 29, Experience: 10, Drop: Dark Shard (8%), Bright Shard (4%). Soldiers are stronger than Shadows and have a thrust attack to defend against. Using the Reaction Command Cyclone before they spin can defeat them instantly.
- Samurai: HP: 50, Experience: 30, Drop: Dense Gem (12%), Serenity Crystal (4%). Samurai are patient and counter with swipes. The Reaction Command Duel Stance involves a stare down, after which choosing "The End" defeats the Samurai in one hit.
Tips
- Magic is often faster when dealing with waves of Shadows.
- The Reaction Command Cyclone can instantly defeat Soldiers if timed correctly.
- The Reaction Command "The End" can instantly defeat Samurai.
