The famed WoFF Sora. A fairytale passed down through generations. Some believe that he holds the key to the legendary Mickey&Brooms, but no one can be sure. Will we ever know…?
With Kingdom Hearts 2.8 just around the corner and the release of Back Cover, I think it’s important that people understand exactly what BC is! The phone game Kingdom Hearts Unchained x came out almost a year ago, telling the story of before the Keyblade War referenced in Birth By Sleep. KHUX and Back Cover are two sides of the same coin - one follows your player character, a keyblade wielder you create yourself, and the other follows five keyblade masters known as the Foretellers. While BC is going to touch on a lot of KHUX plot, neither is complete without the other.
KHUX Theater Mode is a project I started six months ago to bring together every plot-relevant cutscene from KHUX at the convenience of KH fans who can’t or won’t play the phone game. As of now, it is completely up to date (Mission 540) and runs a little shy of 1 hour and 40 minutes.
Long story short, you should give KHUX Theater Mode a look if you never got around to playing KHUX or you aren’t caught up in the story. It will really enhance your viewing of Back Cover in terms of understanding the context and gravity of the movie!

Episode 20 of KHUX Theater Mode brings you Skuld, the Darklings, and the actual plot of the game!
In KHUX Theater Mode: Episode 19, some random guy defies the “friends are my power” slogan and must be converted!
Hey we finally got a real event! Yay! The long awaited Ariel&Flounder - and to a lesser degree Sebastian - is a catch-up mechanic for the people who never got iKairi. They both increase Strength by 3 tiers for one turn, A&F for 3 cost and Seb for 6 cost. Even if you have iKairi, these medals are still useful for other skills, specifically a DB3 or Second Chance on A&F for things like raid bosses and other one-hit mechanics. This frees up iKairi for Cost 1 at the end of this month’s Coliseum. Lastly, if you’re a new player or you just aren’t able to compete, getting a Cost 1 from the top 10k Coliseum this month and using it on Sebastian puts you on par with most of the player base (minus iKai’s heal). This is a really great event, especially for F2P players.
Just like previous HSC, you move from room to room and kill what you can. You cannot go back to previous rooms this time and there is no selecting a specific path. There are a ton of Special chests so medals like Key Art aren’t going to be that beneficial.
Each pack you encounter will have 3 enemies, one of each type. This fits into the World of Final Fantasy medals which ignore attributes (which I think means it always gets type advantage hits). The seven WoFF medals are also your only multipliers and they pack quite a punch. Each WoFF medal also has an AOE buff to help you along the way.
Here’s a list of the enemies:
Room 1:
Lv. 25 Shadow (P) & Possessor (M) & Soldier (S)
Lv. 50 Bag O’ Jewels (S) & Bag O’ Coals (M) & Bag O’ Coins (P)
Room 2:
Lv. 75 Blue Gummi Copter (M) & Yellow Gummi Copter (S) & Red Gummi Copter (P)
Lv. 100 Armored Knight (P) & Wizard (M) & Armored Archer (S)
Lv. 120 Ice Plant (M) & Dire Plant (S) & Red Rose (P)
Room 3:
Lv. 150 Search Ghost (S) & Defender (P) & Fire Plant (M)
Lv. 200 Large Armor (P) & White Rose (M) & Air Soldier (S)
Lv. 250 High Wizard (M) & Invisible (S) & Morning Star (P)
Room 4:
Lv. 275 Hammer Frame (P) & Cannon Gun (S) & Wayward Wardrobe (M)
Lv. 300 Blue Copter Fleet (M) & Red Copter Fleet (P) & Yellow Copter Fleet (S)
Room 5:
Lv. 400 Black Copter Fleet (S) & Blue Copter Fleet (M) & Red Copter Fleet (P)
(Probably more, I haven’t killed this one yet)
As for strategy, multipliers are going to be a big advantage. Stacking iKairi or equivalent with three WoFF medals and a huge damage medal like Marluxia B on Divine Rose will net you a ton of points. Your absolute best friend medal you can grab will be WoFF Sora with Sleep+, which will be essential to getting past the Lv. 400 group.
As for the score, I got 12 million with 0% dying halfway through the Lv. 400 group. The easiest Sebastian to get at 2.5 million, which seems obtainable to almost anyone with a pull of the WoFF banner. The easiest guilt for Sebastian is scoring in the top 2000 with 20 million points or getting in the top 1000. The easiest A&F you can get is to score in the top 5000. To guilt A&F you need to be in the top 1000 with 25 million points.
Also, Speed gems are trickled in those rankings.
So what’s the consensus? If you have J&S and iKairi, this event is mostly just for fun. With the nerfs to WoFF medals, they don’t matter very much. The attribute-ignoring powers are pretty cool though so I might recommend you grab at least one. Getting a Speed one for Olympia or a Magic one for DR could be great too. Stocking up on an extra A&F or Sebastian can be great for when Proud mode comes around.
If you’re a F2P player or you don’t have J&S or iKairi, the WoFF medals can be really useful and A&F/Seb is absolutely necessary. This event is literally for you.
Alright that’s all. If you happen to know what enemies lie beyond what I’ve managed to complete please leave it in the comments below and I’ll add it to the guide!
Good luck!!

Fuck this event.
So, every mission is timed. Every mission is a boss. And they are all terribly difficult. It’s a little disappointing because the Marluxia and Larxene events were so tailored to the individual members and their personalities, but Xemnas just gets “there are bosses, beat them fast”. Oh well…
Your reward is Xemnas B, a tier 3 guilt AOE Power with x3.10 and PSM down one tier for one turn. Here’s a picture. He’s only a bit better than Saïx for five bars instead of four and there’s not a very good place for Reversed Power on keyblades anyway. Honestly, if I were you, I’d skip the event altogether.
To guilt this medal, you will need a buff clear medal (see Alice, Belle, etc.). That’s not negotiable. You will need DB3 or Second Chance and you absolutely, 100% will need iKairi. If you don’t have at least one GDD (iXion, Meg, etc.) - probably two - you’re not going to get far. Lastly, you’ll very likely spend jewels since none of the requirements are one-turn.
So let’s get down to it. The layout is as follows:
Stage number.) Level of enemy Enemy name (Type +Additional health bars) +buffs
Complete in under this many seconds for reward - reward
1.) Lv. 50 Possessors (M)
40 seconds - HDL
2.) Lv. 75 Playing Cards (S +2)
50 seconds - MM
3.) Lv 100 Enraged Elk (P +9) + 3 P-Def
75 seconds - Xemnas
4.) Lv. 125 Queen Bee (M +24)
70 seconds - HDL
5.) Lv. 150 Cerberus (P +2) +2 PSM-Str
45 seconds - Xemnas
6.) Lv. 175 Wretched Witch (M) +1 S-Def
45 seconds - MM
7.) Lv. 200 Savage Spider (P +29) Sleep/Paralyze/Poison
90 seconds - MM
8.) Lv. 225 Guard Armor (S +46) +2 Def
180 seconds - Xemnas
9.) Lv. 250 Huge Snowman (M +43) +3 PSM-Def (+3 PSM-Str on turn 3)
200/230 seconds - Hairstyle
10.) Lv. 270 Behemoth (P +46) (builds P-Str)
180 seconds - Xemnas
11.) Lv. 280 Trickmaster (M +47)
180 seconds - Xemnas
12.) Lv. 290 Darkside Omega (S +64) +1 Def/+1 Str/Poison
180 seconds - Xemnas
13.) Lv. 300 Gummi Hound (S +59) +1 Str/+1 P-Str
180 seconds - Xemnas / 210 seconds - Title: No. I
Specifically, the thirteenth stage, the Gummi Hound uses a one-hit raid mechanic after 35 hits. You’ll either need second chance or use jewels to beat it, because I don’t see how someone would beat this in 35 hits.
The last three are all going to require an insane amount of luck or a few continues because they all one-hit. When you’re racing the clock, you’ll want to stack as many GDD and J&S medals as possible on top of iKairi and one hardcore damage medal. One medal with APP will get you all your SP back, so Key Art isn’t necessary. Use your friend slot for high damage, even though they don’t benefit from multiplier slots. Using Sleep+ also works but it’s tenuous at best.
Honestly this whole event is insane. After so many “for the people!” events like Donald, Goofy, and Larxene, I’m not surprised they made a challenging one. But this reminds me of that level 500 ghost around Halloween that almost no one completed. Working around the mechanics of things like the Marluxia event make sense to me as a gamer, but this event and its requirements is very strictly for the best of the best. It’s a little alienating, especially for such a subpar medal.
People with more in-depth boss strategies, please put them in the comments! I still can’t beat Mission 12 (I got a lot of this info from my roommate who spent over 1000 jewels), so we’ll see how it goes!
Anyway. Good luck!

Boards:
The outfits are awesome. Keyblade armor for Terra and Aqua! The boards have also been updated with DB2 and AB2 (yay!) and for some reason Attack Boost All II was added to the game. You know. Because how everyone loved ABA1 so much. The titles for the Terra and Aqua boards are Passionate and Elite respectively, and like always you can get everything on both boards by completing Tier 10.
Rankings:
Top 10k get the SP1 ability, a long awaited treasure that makes any medal cost only 1 SP! And it’s for the top 10k instead of the top 2.5k, making it much more obtainable! This is an absolute necessity in this game. It really levels the playing field for players with iKairi and those who will eventually get medals like Ariel&Flounder or Sebastian. The only downside is that there is very little incentive to push for 2.5k. Top 1k and Top 100, however, can get 2 or 3 SP1s respectively.
Good luck this month! It’s shaping up to be a great year for KHUX!
