Meta Knight often [[guard]]s so that he takes no damage at all. However, his sword-based attacks can be interrupted by the [[Sword]] ability (including [[Helper|Friends]] like [[Blade Knight]]), which creates a sword clashing effect and stuns him for a while.

When Meta Knight's [[stamina|health]] is below half, he surrounds himself with purple force aura under the influence of the [[Jamba Heart|dark heart]]. In this phase, he begins with duplicating himself into up to 4 Meta Knights, depending on how many allies there are. The duplicated Meta Knights can also make boulders rain from the sky using the purple force.

The duplicated Meta Knights can also make boulders rain from the sky using the purple force.


Upon defeat, Meta Knight is freed from the [[Jamba Heart|dark heart]]'s influence...but his mask still breaks.
