I've been trying to get power stones but they're a pain to get!

Got any tips?

You could use Stop spells and knock 'em senseless, but having a lot of STR so it takes fewer hits to defeat them will obviously help as well

Well I recently had my hard time with these bouncy things too. Let me tell you that there is no easy way. Or at least not really really easy, you get my point. You can use the method LightChaser recommended. Though there are two variants of it. I first tried the fast method. Jump down over them, cast stop immediately and beat them up. Though that one is risky. It's easy to mess up. It worked fine for me one or two times, but I switched to the method where you need patience instead, but it's almost for sure to get a Power Stone with each sixth monkey you kill. 

 

I waited in a distance for the perfect opportunity, ran up to a single one which got separated from the group (the more the harder ofc), and cast stop, then hit it as much as possible. I sound like some predator here lol It takes long, but it's almost sure fire method to get what you want. It's hard to mess up if you really wait for the perfect time to strike. I only messed up twice with this. One time was because I accidently lost sight of one and it saw me instead and the other was due to me being hasty. 

 

The stronger keyblade the better and obviously the higher your level the easier and faster it's killed. I guess Lucky Strike helps too. Hope this was helpful o/

a keyblade usually does it for me

Not dying helps

Basically what LightChaser said (:

 

I tried that way, but instead of beating it up, I spammed Thunder. Diamond Dust helps a lot for this method

There are a lot of good Youtube tutorials on it as well if you still get stuck 

I waited til I got Stopga (so I was pretty high leveled at the time) and just went in the middle, stop, hit, stayed in the middle, stopped hit, and then moved up a bit so I was out of the line of site that the bottom part of the triangle of snipers in the third wave spawn and could still stop the other two, then moved down to the third and repeated.  I found it more manageable to not stay in the middle on the third wave cause stop never reached them all and one was always left spotting you.  I also had lucky strike equipped to all my members and got a Power Stone every time after 3 waves.  You only need 6 or something to actually make each item once.  

I usually just go for the old Stop and slash method too. You really have to be a ninja when you try to attack them though, because the AI likes to troll you out sometimes if you're literally five feet away but they can still see you and start shooting you in numbers. I swear to God, those fricking Sniper Wilds were trained by Braig. X___X

From personal experience, my advice would be to get all of your MP equipment and slap it on sora, you're gonna need it, and make sure goofy has the ability "MP Gift" that also helps. You basically wanna wait until they spread apart and cast stop or stopra or stopga w.e you have, and then beat them down, repeat this over and over and it'll be easy. Also never think because you stopped too you can rush in sometimes while you're killing one the other will spot you, 3 spawn at max. So just be careful and you can do it.

Stop spell, combo, stop spell, combo, stop spell, combo.
