The Chrono Twister is an Unversed that is found in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep.

Design

A Chrono Twister is shaped like a large hour glass. Its bases are black with green highlights. One base sports a single, black spike, while the other sports three spikes. It has two black handles resembling small wings near its middle. The main glass is translucent and half-filled with what seems to be yellow sand. The Chrono Twister's small, spherical, black head is inside the glass and tumbles around with the sand. Its red eyes can be viewed as having a happy or a sorrowful expression, depending on the way the head is turned.

In Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix, the Chrono Twister's color scheme is changed. Its bases are now an aqua blue color with light green highlights, its handles are also aqua blue, the spikes on its bases are light grey, and its sand is now light purple.

In its idle animation, the Chrono Twister bobs left and right every second.

Strategy

A Chrono Twister, while weak on its own, can be a tad troublesome when grouped with other, stronger Unversed. Its main attack is casting Stopga on the player. If the spell is cast, the player must spin the analog stick to free themselves in time, with any damage received while stopped getting accumulated and inflicted when the spell ends. Its secondary attack is to conjure several orbs of dark energy around the player that smash into the player after a few seconds. Once the orbs hit the player, a large energy orb is created over the player's head. It can also teleport to avoid damage. Magnet magic is good if attacked by a group.

When preparing to cast Stopga, the Chrono Twister generates a black cloud above the player. It is possible to avoid getting stopped by performing techniques that make you invincible, such as Shotlocks or Finish commands. As the Chrono Twister always uses Continuous Spin Kick after casting Stopga, you can use Mine Square or Mine Shield before getting stopped to hit the Chrono Twister as it moves in to attack, causing it to get knocked back and be stunned, giving you the chance to recover from the stop status.
