The Satyr is an Emblem Heartless that appears in Kingdom Hearts III.

Story

Kingdom Hearts III

After the sounding of the Olympus Coliseum fanfare, Satyrs appear at the entrance of the Realm of the Gods, shortly after Sora, Donald, and Goofy manage to arrive after besting the Rock Titan. The group attack by charging at Sora, Donald, and Goofy while in formation, but their formation is ultimately broken and are picked off one at a time, clearing the way to the rest of Olympus.

Design

A Satyr is a humanoid, muscular Heartless with grey skin, yellow eyes, and a lightning-shaped beard. It wears black armor with blue highlights and the Heartless insignia on its chestplate, alongside a short skirt and twin gauntlets. Its shoulders have twin pauldrons with yellow spikes and white wings, and its feet are shaped like goat hooves. Its helm has twin horns jutting out of it.

In Greek myth, a satyr is a nature spirit who is half-human, half-goat. Its Japanese name, "Satyros," is its namesake's original Greek name.

Strategy

When first encountered in the Realm of the Gods, Satyrs will appear in a 5x5 formation in Armor Mode with a shared pool of 50 Armor HP. While in formation, Satyrs are immune to status effects, and will all flinch if one Satyr in the formation flinches. The formation will break when the armor's HP is reduced to zero, upon which all remaining Satyrs will act independently. During this first encounter, Trinity Guard has a 100% chance to appear as a Team Attack.

Lowering a Satyr's Reaction Endurance to zero for the first time (when not in formation) or lowering a formation's armor HP to zero will break its or the entire formation's horns, respectively. A Satyr without its horns will stagger to every attack it receives, much like a lesser enemy without Reaction Endurance would.

All of a Satyr's attacks will break Sora's guard, while the three available to them when not in formation trigger Risk Dodge when blocked.

The most efficient way to break the formation in the story encounter involves moving back while casting Fire thrice in a row as to deal damage while lowering their Reaction Endurance, then using Second Form combo finishers like Explosion and Magnet Burst while they can be hitstunned, from there they can be quickly defeated with Sonic Blade.
