KH3 Adversaries Information Book

Sniper

Game info: Gravity's got nothing on these slippery sharpshooters, and as soon as you close the distance they'll warp right outta there. The good news? Blocking will send the arrows they fire straight back at them. In bigger brawls, you'll want to make them a priority. A little magic goes a long way toward pinning them down until you can land some hits.

Wiki info: The Sniper is a high-ranking Nobody controlled by Xigbar that is found in Kingdom Hearts II and Kingdom Hearts III. A Sniper is a humanoid creature dressed in a primarily purple bodysuit. Its skin underneath is light grey. Only the Nobody's white chin and neck are visible, the rest of its body being covered by its suit and the purple cap it wears. It also wears a black eye patch over the cap in the same place as Xigbar's own eye patch. Its suit also seems to sport pointed shoulders, much like Xigbar's coat. Its arms bell outward near its elbows, making it look as if the Sniper is wearing gloves. A white Nobody logo is emblazoned on the right glove. There is a wide, light grey spike with a circular-cut taken out of its bottom on either of the Nobody's hips. Like all lesser Nobodies, Snipers have the ability to contort themselves. They are also often seen "standing" on empty space. All Snipers wield large crossbows reminiscent of Xigbar's Arrowguns, and can even shapeshift its body into a massive version of the crossbow. The Sniper is based on the eponymous job class from Final Fantasy. While not especially dangerous on their own, Snipers can catch Sora off guard while fighting other enemies, as a result it's a good idea to prioritize getting rid of any Snipers first. Snipers have a tendency to warp around when Sora gets too close, so consider using magic to stagger them while closing the distance. The Sniper's attacks can be blocked and used against it, with blocking the light bullets causing the bullets to be sent back at the Sniper, and blocking the Strike attack resulting in the usage of Risk Dodge. The Sniper's attacks have a delay before they are sent at the target, so listen for when the shots are about to fire before blocking or guarding to prevent getting hit from blocking too early.
