Shan-Yu/Gameplay

The battle with Shan-Yu happens in two ways, against Shan-Yu and versus the Nightwalker Heartless he summons. The goal is to defeat Shan-Yu and the Heartless while defending the Palace Gate.

Strategy
To begin, rush in and start your attack immediately, especially in Valor Form. The Heartless will appear randomly and start attacking the gate. When this occurs, it is best to defeat them ASAP since the protection of the gate is the main goal. It is advised that in order to keep the gate's defenses high, you should pick up the Orbs dropped by the Heartless enemies so keep an eye on the gauge on the screen.

A good way to defeat the enemies and Shan-Yu at the same time is to save Mulan's Limit until a point where you are up against both at the same time. When the Heartless are toast, concentrate your attacks on Shan-Yu.

Shan-Yu is most dangerous when he is pulsating with dark energy. It is advised that the player should watch out for his Joust ability, which sends across the arena, and an upward spiral attack. Both leave him open for attack followed by a combo. When prompted, use the Reaction Command to enter a grapple with Shan-Yu and inflict a lot of damage.

There isn't really too much of a strategy here, but make certain to heal if you need it.
