'''[[Axel]]''' appears as a boss in ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]'', [[Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories|its remake]], and ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''. In ''Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories'' and ''Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories'', Axel battles [[Sora]] twice throughout [[Castle Oblivion]]. In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', Axel fights [[Roxas]] twice in the [[Simulated Twilight Town]].

==Strategies==
===''Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories''===
====First battle====
In the first battle Axel is an easy opponent. Just simply use Blizzard cards as they deal massive damage to him. Additionally, if Sora has a [[Moogle]] Room card, one should be able to obtain more Blizzard cards.

====Second battle====
In the second battle Axel is much more difficult to the point that he has been thought of being a harder boss than [[Marluxia (Enemy)|Marluxia]] at the very end of the game. It is strongly recommended that the player has the [[Oogie Boogie]], [[Jafar]], [[Vexen]], [[Card Soldier]] and [[Riku]] cards equipped. The Darkside card helps a lot because it will copy his Quick Recovery card which makes Sora completely immune to his sleights (be careful not to copy the Fire Boost card). Have plenty of Blizzard cards since Axel is weak to them.

The best way to go through Axel is to first equip the Jafar card preventing him from breaking attack cards. After the Jafar card runs out it would be wise to equip the Vexen card since odds are Sora might fall before he can use either the Card Soldier or Riku card's full potential. Also, bear in mind that his fire attacks will be able to stun Sora. If and when Axel defeats Sora, the Vexen card will revive him. Immediately activate the Oogie Boogie card to regenerate his low health.

After Oogie Boogie runs out, it is wise to unload on sleights. For maximum results use the Riku card so that some of the cards the player uses will not be lost. The [[Trinity Limit]] sleight (obtained with a Goofy, Donald and attack card) could be fairly damaging, but it takes a long time to activate and Axel could easily use a 0 card to break the sleight before Sora damages him. Instead use it when he reloads his cards so he won't be able to break the sleight. Also use Blizzara/Blizzaga by stocking two or three Blizzard cards, respectively. Donald cards are very risky; his Thunder does some damage, his Blizzard does high damage, but Fire will heal Axel, so refrain from using Donald at all (unless for Trinity Limit). If Axel is not defeated by the time the Riku card ends then equip the Card Soldier card and attack him repeatedly. Since the Card Soldier card speeds up attacks significantly if the player attacks Axel non-stop, this can stop him from using some sleights. When the Card Soldier runs out and if Axel is still alive, odds are his HP will be low enough for him to be finished off with one or two more sleights.

During the first battle Axel's attacks are few and weak. However during the second fight, Axel has much more damaging attacks. While his regular attacks are the same from before, his sleights are much more powerful. When Axel yells, "Let the flames burn you!", be on guard—that's his most dangerous attack where he lets out a wall of flame. This is for the most part unavoidable, so it is advisable to immediately use a 0 card regardless of whether or not Sora is close to Axel. If Sora can't use a 0 card (in the event that they have been used up already and haven't reloaded), then be sure to cast Cure almost immediately afterwards. Axel's speed is increased to almost rival that of Larxene, so winning this battle will likely take quite a bit of time.

===''Kingdom Hearts II''===
====First battle====
{{Q|Defeat the mysterious man Axel! Fight using the mystifying Keyblade!|Battle hint}}
Axel faces Roxas the first time during his [[Struggle]] match. Axel's main attack is a two-hit combo in which he moves forward slightly, which can easily be avoided. Axel will also suddenly dash behind Roxas, similar to the "Reversal" Reaction Command, and throw his flaming chakram through the air at him, hitting him multiple times. He will also throw a single chakram, which circles towards Roxas from the side.

As this fight is so early in the game, there is little the player can do in terms of preparing with equipment and items, but Axel is not too difficult an opponent. The player should have at least two [[Potion]]s, and the [[Aerial Recovery]] ability equipped. If they have leveled up Roxas enough so he learns [[Guard]], it can also help. It is advised to stick to aerial attacks to avoid Axel's strikes and use Aerial Recovery to quickly regain balance and counterattack when struck. If Axel's attacks are blocked with Guard or Roxas's own attack, he will be temporarily stunned.

The most important thing to do to when this fight is to not rush in and attack him from the front or he will do a series of multi-hit chakram throws. Instead make Roxas jump to the side, then launch an attack on him.

====Second battle====
When Roxas battles Axel again in the [[Old Mansion]], the strength of both Axel and Roxas have increased. Roxas is now dual-wielding the [[Oathkeeper]] and [[Oblivion]], so he does more damage. However, Axel has much more health and several new forms of attack. Roxas should be equipped with the Elven Bandana from the mansion to boost his defense and have several Potions stocked.

When the battle begins, Axel will yell "Burn, baby!" and the floor of the arena will become covered in magma, this causes Roxas to slowly lose health over time. If the player hits Axel with a finishing move, he will be knocked into the air and Roxas can use the "Overtaker" Reaction Command. This will cause Axel and Roxas to run across the flames dueling and eventually the player can use "Clear Light", which slams Axel into the ground. This removes the magma from the ground and stuns Axel for a short time.

After this, Axel will throw his flaming chakrams at Roxas and also strike him with a multi-hit combo, ending with him summoning a jet of fire from the ground. This attack does heavy damage if Roxas is caught in it. Axel will also leap behind the flames surrounding the arena and jump out without warning, leaving plumes of flame behind him. The player can use the Reaction Command "Burst Edge" to leap out of the way and throw Oblivion at Axel, damaging him. Later in the fight, Axel also covers the floor in magma again. This can be countered the same as before.

Axel can be a difficult opponent, as he attacks rapidly and can catch the player off-guard. However, with proper usage of the Reaction Command and a few Potions, he should be defeated. Roxas's power is greatly increased, so the player can easily cause heavy damage to Axel using Roxas's powerful combos.

====Data Rematch====
The "Data Rematch" Axel that Sora fights is based on the second fight, with Sora fighting him alone in a ring of fire. Axel will have higher HP and stronger attacks than his earlier version in Roxas's storyline. Be sure to equip the [[Mysterious Abyss]] Keyblade as it has the [[Blizzard Boost]] ability which can allow maximum damage to Axel's fire-centered attacks. Stock up on Ethers and Potions as they'll be handy in the battle. [[Reflect]] is also an alternative to using [[Blizzard]], as it can do similar damage. Be sure to make use of the "Overtaker" and "Clear Light" Reaction Commands as they will cease the damage Sora receives from the magma floor.
