Kingdom Hearts 3 ReMind - Sora ~ No Damage Vs. Armored Xehanort (Critical Mode)

So I finally beat ReMind Xehanort with Sora and it was a lot harder than I expected. The first phase isn't too much of a problem, his attacks aren't really good and he doesn't have any cool mix-ups. Though the DM (desperation move) he uses in this phase is pretty awesome, I kinda wish it was a bit harder to get through. Maybe there could've been more objects to dodge while Xehanort is pulling everything into his explosion. Btw shout out to all the fallen Electrodes who inspired that attack.

The second phase is where he get's a bit stronger. You can no longer swing carelessly due to his disengage actually being good. It's the move where he teleports away and sets a line of bombs near you. At it's core this move is trash but randomly if you're locked on to Nort when he tps out the camera will get messed up while tracking him. Which makes it harder to maneuver away from the exploding bombs. Camera = 14th vessel of darkness confirmed?

He also starts to spam those annoying melee combos ── the one he starts off every fight with (calling it Dark Rush). Apparently the sight of Sora breathing just triggers Xehanort uncontrollably; to the point where he'll spam Dark Rush like there's no tomorrow. Also you WILL get hit if you're approaching/swinging at him when he decides to do this move, so be careful. 100% sure Dark Rush is the move he tagged me the most with.

He also gets a nice buff to his gravitational force bombs. You can longer dash out; once they pull you in you're forced to wait and block the explosion. Then after a successful block he can mix you up by casting another G-force bomb or he can lift you into the air and slap you with a fire pillar.
Lastly his DM during this phase is difficult to handle at first, but once you learn where the meteors drop, it becomes cake. A beautiful cake at that...but it's also kind of on fire.

Best advice for this fight: play patiently! Get a good combo off then play some defense. It's a lot easier to react to his silly attacks if you create distance between yourself and old man Jenkins.
Random tip- Don't forget to equip the Groundbreaker ability so you can spike Xehanort to the ground. Other wise he'll float off into the universe and Kairi won't get a chance to combo.

P.S. This fight was so much harder without protect. D=
