TheArmor of Eraqus is a boss exclusive toKingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix. It is a data simulation ofMaster Eraqus'sKeyblade Armor, and it is fought within the "Light's Lessons" battle in theMirage Arena. It wields theMaster's Defender in battle.

Design[edit]

The Armor of Eraqus is a sentient suit of Keyblade Armor that wields theMaster's Defender Keyblade in battle. Its torso is covered with dull, faded green armor that sports a small Mark of Mastery symbol in its center. The rest of the armor on its arms, legs, and chest are predominantly bronze and silver. Its pointed, armored boots are black and gold and its upper arms and thighs have wide, supplementary armor with gold edges covering them. The Armor of Eraqus's helmet is silver with a gold chin with jagged "teeth" and aTerra's Mark symbol of the same color adorning its forehead. The helmet is also decorated by three long, thin, silver pikes on its top and sides. Its hands and neck are covered by a black material.

The Armor of Eraqus's name reflects how it is the Keyblade Armor ofTerra,Ventus, andAqua's master, Eraqus.

Strategy[edit]

The Armor of Eraqus uses most ofEraqus's techniques, but also imitates the protagonist's uniqueCommand Styles and special abilities. Later in the battle, it can gain a magical seal on its back after ensnaring the protagonist; if the protagonist attacks the Armor in this phase, they will be stunned by the seal, leaving them wide open for the Armor to attack. BasicKeyblade strikes do minimal damage to the boss. The difficulty level of the boss fight is toned down in theKingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX version, notably its HP.

The Armor is particularly vulnerable toShotlocks and Reprisals, and can also be damaged by reflecting its projectile attacks. Surgecommands can also be used to deal damage while gaining range away from the Armor, while Mine commands will allow the player to lay traps without risking damage by getting too close to the Armor.

Continuous Slashes		?	?	?	△
		Performs a long, powerful Keyblade combo, throwing the opponent into the air.
Flash		?	?	?	X
		ASonic Blade-like technique. The sealed version of this resembles anIaido-style technique that is much faster and can snare the opponent, after which it performs a version ofCollision Magnet. While this technique cannot be blocked, the opponent can dodge to gain some invincibility.
Hazy		?	?	?	O
		Fires magical orbs that home in on the opponent.
Mist		?	?	?	O
		Shoots magical blades that home in on the opponent.
Crimson Lotus		?	?	?	?
		The Armor creates five fiery pillars which home in on the opponent until they disappear.
The Sun		?	?	?	?
		The Armor creates a rotating wheel of lasers which oscillate up and down, making it harder to avoid, especially for Terra. Ventus and Aqua can dodge continuously until the attack ends. A useful trick is to dodge towards an area where the beams cannot touch the opponent.
Style Change		?	?	?	?
		Fires chains oflight, which have a short range. If the chains hit an opponent, the Armor switches battle styles according to the character of the target, or acquires a seal on its back, and alternates between that and the style change. The chosen Command Style is telegraphed by the color of the aura: yellow for Terra, green for Ventus, blue for Aqua.
Seal Strike		?	Stun	?	?
		Only used while having a seal on the back. The seal strikes an opponent when the Armor is attacked.
Seal Combo		?	?	?	?

Critical Impact		?	?	?	?
		Only used while having Terra's style. Performs a series of downward slashes that create earthquakes in their wake.
Meteor		?	?	?	?
		Only used while having Terra's style. Flies into the air and uses its light chains to bind the target and pull a large chunk of the arena up and shoot it with a powerful blast of light. To break free, continuously press and move to the right side to avoid the resulting explosion of the attack.
Fever Pitch		?	?	?	X
		Only used while having Ventus's style. Uses flying slashes that can launch the target into the air.

Prism Rain		?	Ignite[2], Freeze[3], or Poison[4]	?	?
