The Sniperwild is a special Heartless introduced in Kingdom Hearts Final Mix. It's looks similar to the Bouncywild Heartless and drops the rare Power Stone synthesis item.

Finding the Sniperwild

The Sniperwild Heartless is only found in the Second District in Traverse Town. You'll know you've encountered the right Heartless spawn when it's the only Heartless in the center of the area; if any other Heartless appear instead, leave and re-enter the area.

Defeating the Sniperwild

The Sniperwild will skip and jump around the area, searching for your presence. As soon as one spots you, it'll start to call its friends. If it's allowed to finish summoning other Sniperwilds, they will pummel the party with an endless barrage of ammo from their slingshots. You'll need to escape into another area and re-enter before attempting to defeat the Sniperwild again.

The key to success is defeating them one-by-one without being seen. Here are a few methods that can be used to defeat the Sniperwild:

  1. If you strike one with Fire magic, it will typically dash toward you, allowing you to strike it with ground combos.
  2. Cast Stop magic to halt them in their tracks, then strike them with ground combos.
  3. Use the Mushu summon's Fire Breath attack to quickly defeat them; lock on to each from a safe distance. Equip magic- and summon-boosting equiping like Diamond Dust and Ray of Light. If Mushu's MP runs out, dodge roll or fly away to exit combat, then re-enter and summon Mushu again.

The Sniperwild will appear in recurring waves of one, two, and three enemies. This pattern will repeat until 30 Sniperwilds are defeated or when a Sniperwild detects the party and summons friends.

Obtaining the Power Stone

The Power Stone can drop after defeating every sixth Sniperwild without detection. To improve your odds, equip all Lucky Strike abilities to the party and use the pause-buffer strategy to keep track of the real enemy.
