Unversed Mission - Launching Plant

Location: Seat of War

Scoring: 1 Star: 0-200, 2 Stars: 201-349, 3 Stars: 350+

The Launching Plant drops orbs when hit after being launched. The Spellweaver Command Style is ideal for this mission due to its rapid hit capability. Equip Fabracadabra and use it twice to trigger a Finisher that deals numerous hits, making it easy to score over 500 points.

BOSS: Braig

• Health Points: 750
• Strength: 26
• Defense: 15
• Status Resistance: Immune to all
• Elemental Weaknesses: Physical x 1.0, Fire x 1.0, Blizzard x 1.0, Thunder x 1.0, Dark x 1.0

Braig teleports frequently and attacks with long-range bullet waves and close-range bursts. Aqua's Barrier can block these, but Air Sliding or Cartwheeling is more effective. Shotlocking is the best way to deal damage as Braig is slow-moving despite his teleportation. When close, use combo commands like Sonic Blade or Time Splicer.

Prizes: Maximum HP Up

BOSS: Ventus / Vanitas

• Health Points: 1000
• Strength: 26
• Defense: 15
• Status Resistance: Immune to all
• Elemental Weaknesses: Physical x 1.0, Fire x 1.0, Blizzard x 1.0, Thunder x 1.0, Dark x 1.0

Vanitas is a tougher opponent, but Mickey assists in this fight. While Mickey doesn't deal much damage, he provides openings for Aqua's combos like Aerial Slam, Time Splicer, or Sonic Blade. Mine abilities are effective, and Shadow Dive remains a primary threat. Only use Shotlocks when Vanitas is engaged with Mickey to avoid counterattacks or unnecessary damage. Be prepared to break Vanitas's charged attack with a quick combo, then dodge to avoid backlash.

Prizes: Xehanort's Report 7
