Much like Riku, Zexion can identify the "scents" of others with great accuracy and at great distances. The "scent" he smells may be based on things other than mere odor and is affected by the presence of [[Darkness]] in the [[heart]], an entity's power in the castle, and other factors. Initially, Zexion was never seen in combat, and his weapon and attributes were a mystery. To keep Zexion's weapon unknown, his gravestone in the [[The World That Never Was]] lay destroyed, as all the gravestones depicted the member's weapon of choice. ''Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories'' and ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'' revealed his weapon as the Lexicon. Zexion can use his Lexicon to mimic the attacks of his enemies in ''Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories''.

This ability follows a trend where the Organization members bear abilities and skills mirroring those of ''Final Fantasy'' jobs (ex. Xaldin = {{ff|Dragoon (job)|Dragoon}}, Luxord = {{ff|Gambler (job)|Gambler}}, etc.). In Zexion's case, his abilities mirror those of a {{ff|Blue Mage (job)|Blue Mage}}, who can learn and mimic enemy attacks, or possibly a {{ff|Mime (job)|Mime}} who can perfectly imitate the most recently used ability.

In ''Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories'', he has a unique fighting style; he steals and hoards his foe's cards until he has enough to use it in his own deck. He has copies of his lexicon float around and attack the opponent. His standard attack steals Riku's attack cards, and his standard sleight creates a tornado of dark energy that drags Riku in, and then damages him while stealing his cards. When Zexion hoards enough cards, he copies the Soul Eater and copies himself, gaining the use of two new sleights. In one, Zexion's copies vanish while Zexion grabs Riku and continuously damages him. Zexion's other new sleight is a sleight in which he and his copies vanish and then reappear near the perimeter of the island and each fires an energy beam. The beams meet and slowly form a ball of energy as Zexion and his clones rotate around the island before the energy ball explodes over the entire island.

His standard attack now becomes a combo with each of the copies slashing once in turn. Meanwhile, the lexicons are spread out through the island encased in blue flames. Each of these lexicons supports and acts as the health of a clone. Destroying a lexicon causes a clone to disappear, and the destruction of the last copy frees all the stolen cards, and Zexion reverts to attacking with his lexicons until he hoards enough cards again. However, even if Riku manages to steal his cards back, Zexion occasionally prepares a countermeasure of sorts by planting a dummy Soul Eater card amongst the scattered pile for Riku to collect. The card is distinguished by the "wing" of the blade's design being orange instead of red, as well as the Soul Eater facing the opposite direction. If the card is collected and then used, it damages and stuns Riku momentarily, giving Zexion an opening to steal cards again.

In ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'', Zexion returns as an optional boss. Zexion's fighting style is different in the islands, however—his Absent Silhouette's only attack is to trap his prey in his lexicon. However, once they have been captured, Zexion transports them to another dimension where lexicons float around, being conducted by Zexion, who can hide as a lexicon himself. Only the reaction command, Dispel, used on Zexion after depleting his fake HP frees them from the dimension. Meanwhile, they are either bombarded by lexicon copies and explosions, ensnared in life-draining lexicons or have their commands mixed up. However, if the right commands are selected, HP, MP, Munny balls, or experience points can appear, while another command temporarily removes all the decoy lexicons.

His greatest attack involves transporting his quarry into yet another dimension, one which is pitch black save for three spotlights, one of which will be blue. The blue light will rotate between the three lights thirteen times until it comes to a complete stop, after which the entire area will be bombarded by meteors, with Zexion's laughing heard. However, the spotlight where the blue light stops will be protected by a barrier. Zexion is also forced into the barricaded area, leaving him vulnerable to attack.

In both instances, he is shown to be a mighty opponent, noted by many to be more difficult than Ansem, Seeker of Darkness in ''Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories'' Reverse/Rebirth.

In ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', Zexion has a Limit Break called [[Meteor Mirage]], where he ascends into the air to cause meteors of indigo energy to rain down from the sky.

Line 113: Line 113:
Zexion uses a book called a '''Lexicon''', the Greek term for a dictionary. Its main form is named the [[Book of Retribution]]. It is unclear exactly what the pages contain, but from what can be seen, it tells some sort of story and lacks a basic dictionary layout. The cover displays three interconnected Nobody symbols. The back bears the outline of another Nobody logo. The spine of the book displays the Roman numeral of six (VI), along with the title "Hallucination—Another Side", superimposed over yet another Nobody symbol. Zexion has the power to trap people within the pages themselves, sending them to a different dimension where he can hide from them and attack. He can also hide himself in the pages.

An accessory based on the lexicon called the "[[Shadow Archive]]" can be synthesized in ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix''.
