The Darkside uses its size and strength to easily overpower opponents. It can punch the ground, creating a pool of darkness and summoning [[Shadow]]s to assist it in battle. It can also fire blasts of dark energy from its chest. Its seemingly powerful desperation move involves pulling a dark energy orb out of the ground while causing a shockwave and launching it into the sky, causing it to disperse to the ground as smaller energy blasts. | The Darkside uses its size and strength to easily overpower opponents.

*The Darkside creates a dark force in the heart-shaped hole in its body, which fires dark homing missiles. | |||
The Darkside is an easy-medium boss, and can be defeated very quickly. In all three battles against the Darkside, the strategy for defeating it remains the same.

Its weaknesses are its head and hands. This is simply a hack-and-slash battle, with no real strategy needed. Simply attack at every opportunity and avoid the Darkside's attacks. When the Darkside launches its dark missiles, time attacks just right to send them hurling back, heavily damaging the Darkside as well as granting [[Tech Points]]. Any deflected missiles grants 1 Tech point, while every deflected missile that hits the Darkside grants an additional 2 Tech points. | ||
If Sora gets low on health, defeat the Shadows that spawn, as they drop HP orbs. If one can climb Darkside's arm and attack its head, tech points are granted for every combo finisher landed. | If Sora gets low on health, defeat the Shadows that spawn, as they drop HP orbs.

====Second Battle==== | |||
;Attacks | |||
*The Darkside punches the ground, causing a dark pool and mild shockwave to form. This attack summons a small number of Shadows. | |||
*The Darkside scoops up an orb of darkness, which splits into many smaller orbs that rain from the sky. | |||
*The Darkside creates a dark force in the heart-shaped hole in its body, which fires dark homing missiles. | |||
The strategy for the first battle can be used for the second battle. | |||
When the Darkside scoops up the orb of Darkness, do not run around. The missiles will vanish when [[guard]]ed or attacked and will not make Sora recoil. | When the Darkside scoops up the orb of Darkness, do not run around.

The Darkside from this battle will act the same as the one from the second battle, so simply use the same strategies and the Heartless will fall. | |||
Interestingly, this particular Darkside spawns Shadows that drop munny when defeated, at a point where munny can no longer be used in the game. | |||

This memory-based incarnation of the Darkside utilizes the same tactics as its ''Kingdom Hearts'' counterpart. Card Breaks are an easy way to avoid damage. Again, one must attack the arms to deal damage, Sora having to jump in order for this to be done. If a [[Gimmick Card]] appears, a plank of driftwood will appear that Sora can hop upon and float up to the Darkside's head to deal extra damage, or when the Darkside is about to blast an orb from its body, one can use a [[Card Break]] to attack it before it escapes. Another way to attack the Darkside's head without using a Gimmick Card is to wait for it to summon Shadows, which requires its arm to be immobilized, and there will be an opportunity to attack its head. A combination of high-numbered [[Attack Cards]] as well as Cure Cards are recommended, along with [[Enemy Cards]] such as Jafar, Maleficent, Vexen and Card Soldier to make the battle easier. Sleights are not as critical in this battle, as the Darkside's dimensions make it easy to miss, wasting cards. | |||

The strategy above holds similar to Riku's battle with the Darkside. Riku can also utilize [[Dark Mode]], [[Dark Firaga]] being the most reliable Sleight in his arsenal, considering he only has two. [[Dark Break]] can be used more commonly, but it will often miss, although it does have a tendency to hit the head. | |||
In ''Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories'', the only difference is the Gimmick Card causes large plateaus to rise from the ground. | |||

It should also be noted that the Darkside's head is its weak spot, so attack there whenever possible. | |||

====First Form==== | ====First Form==== | ||
;Attacks | |||
*The Heartless will strike with its hand, and three Shadows will appear. | |||
In this game, the Darkside has three forms. The first form is simple; the Darkside is out of reach from Data-Sora, who stands on a cliff. The Heartless will strike with its hand, and three Shadows will appear. After it strikes the ground, attack its hand with physical and other attacks. After depleting its HP, it will take on a new form. | |||
====Second Form==== | ====Second Form==== | ||
;Attacks | |||
*The Darkside strikes, releasing numerous bugged blocks upon contact with the ground, which deal damage to Sora. | |||
*The Darkside leans back and releases a barrage of orange blocks at Sora, throwing him back and dealing damage. | |||
The Darkside will again strike, but this time, it will release numerous bugged blocks upon contact with the ground and they deal damage to Sora. To attack the hand, Sora must delete a layer of bugged blox which cover its hand. The Darkside will slump forward and its head will lay stunned, on the ground and open for attacks. If one is not quick enough, the hand will turn transparent and attacks will not hit. After a punch, the Darkside will lean back and release a barrage of orange blocks at Sora, throwing him back and dealing damage. Dodge it by using [[Dodge Roll]] until he is close to the Darkside. After the barrage, it will resume its cycle of punching. | The Darkside will again strike, but this time, it will release numerous bugged blocks upon contact with the ground and they deal damage to Sora.

====Third Form==== | ====Third Form==== | ||
;Attacks | |||
*The Darkside hops around, each time releasing a small shock wave. | |||
*The Heartless turns into a swirling mass of blocks, which proves lethal if contact is made. | |||
In its last form, the Darkside will become entirely invisible, nothing but a bunch of orange blox. In the center of the swirling mass, there is a purple blox, which represents the Darkside's health. Dodge Roll is useful for this, as the Darkside will hop around, each time releasing a small shock wave. Consequently, it will turn into a swirling mass of blocks, and prove lethal if contact is made. Dodge Roll is faster than running; it can avoid the Darkside's attacks. Soon, it will separate, and the purple block is wide open for attacks. But do not be idle for too long; it will close after some time. Destroy the block by repeating the process over and over. | In its last form, the Darkside will become entirely invisible, nothing but a bunch of orange blox.

As usual, the Darkside's hands are its primary weak points, though its head can become vulnerable after a while. When it slams its fist into the ground to summon Shadows, prepare to use [[Block]] to guard the shockwave. It can also launch orbs of darkness from its chest, which can be blocked back to it, and from its hands, which can only be dodged. So long as Sora attacks and dodges when necessary, the Darkside will fall with ease. Defeating the Darkside awards Sora with [[Fire]] and [[Water]] magic. | |||
