The Skater Bomb is an Emblem Heartless that is found in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days.

Design

Skater Bomb has a thin, armless dark purple body with short, thin legs and tiny feet, and a spherical head. Its head is partially covered by two halves of a light blue cartoon bomb, which is split jaggedly around the middle to expose its glowing yellow eyes, and bears the Heartless emblem on the top half. A black fuse sprouts from the top of the bombshell in a jagged spiral, with a glowing orange tip.

The Skater Bomb's name refers to its explosive capabilities, as well as ice skating.

Strategy

Skater Bombs should not be that much of a challenge to defeat. They do not have a lot of HP, and they are extremely vulnerable to offensive magic. While physical attacks can also defeat a Skater Bomb easily if Roxas's level is high enough, it is highly recommended to use Fire or Aero magic against these Heartless. They have only two attacks, one a spinning headbutt that can be avoided via Dodge Roll, Guard, or even a physical attack, and the other a devastating, ice-based explosion attack the Heartless use when at low health. This explosion has a 100% chance of dealing the Freeze status effect if it makes contact with Roxas, but it also destroys the Heartless regardless of how much of their health remains.

Don't worry about the explosion, however, as the bodies of the Skater Bombs disappear and a countdown starts above their heads. This delay should give Roxas plenty of time to get out of attack range. A physical attack can also be used if enough time is left in the countdown to knock the Heartless away. If Fire magic is used to defeat these Heartless, they will detonate in a fiery explosion rather than an ice-based explosion.
