Tips
  • Ensure Aqua has Once More and Second Chance abilities equipped, as they are crucial for survival.
  • A maxed out Dark Screen can help mitigate some damage.
  • Equip numerous healing commands, as well as Magic Hour and Time Splicer, as they are very effective.
  • Use Barrier to deflect Terra's Shotlock bullets back at him for damage.
  • When Terra attacks with a combo, a simple block followed by Counter Blast is effective.
  • When Terra slides around, use Magic Hour or Time Splicer when he stops.
  • Do not focus on achieving a max lock for Shotlocks, as Terra will dodge most of them.
  • In the second round, Terra will use a new attack firing twin blades from long range. Use this opportunity for Shotlocks.
  • Time your Shotlocks by starting the lock when his arms turn blue and releasing as the waves reach you to become invulnerable.
  • Magic Hour and Time Splicer are also great commands during Terra's twin blade attack or when playing defensively.
  • Periodically, Terra will pull Aqua into an alternate dimension and throw dark orbs. Cartwheel diagonally towards Terra and wait for the trigger command (square then X) when close to perform "Dual Limit" for massive damage.
