==Strategy==
==Strategies==
===''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories''===
===''Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories''===
====First battle====
====First battle====
In the first battle Axel is an easy opponent. Just simply use Blizzard cards as they deal massive damage to him. Additionally, Blizzard cards can be collected by hitting objects back in Traverse Town. His Fire Wall sleight can be dodged with a dodge roll through the wall, or cardbroken. Damage cannot be avoided if Axel decides to summon the fire wall right where Sora is, after Card Breaking him.
In the first battle Axel is an easy opponent. You should be able to effortlessly defeat him as long as you don't lose focus. If you are having difficulties, go to [[Traverse Town]]; you should have found a [[Blizzard]] card which does a lot more damage to [[Axel]]. Additionally, if you find a [[Moogle]] Room card you should be able to obtain more Blizzard cards.


====Second battle====
====Second battle====
In the second battle, Axel is much more difficult as he has more damaging attacks and is much faster. It is strongly recommended to have the [[Oogie Boogie]], [[Vexen]], and [[Blue Rhapsody]] cards equipped. The Darkside card can allow Sora to copy Axel's Quick Recovery enemy card, making him immune to Axel's sleights, but if Sora carelessly copies the [[Red Nocturne]] card instead, it will boost fire attacks, which heal Axel.  
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 you 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 defeat Axel is to use [[Blizzard Raid]] by stocking one Blizzard card and two attack ones, but don't forget to reload them with an [[Elixir]] to make the sleights re-usable. It also requires only one Blizzard card at a time, unlike Blizzaga, and Axel might avoid the latter. The use of that sleight from the farthest distance it can reach can allow Sora to land extra hits for more damage. After the Blue Rhapsody card runs out it would be wise to equip an Oogie Boogie card in order to recover some HP, or use high valued Curaga, in case Sora takes too much damage. If Sora has many Blizzard Cards available, one can have him use a deck full of them and stock three of them to use Blizzaga, but be mindful that Axel might dodge it.
The best way to go through Axel is to first equip the Jafar card preventing him from breaking attack cards you use. After the Jafar card runs out it would be wise to equip the Vexen card since odds are you might die before you 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 you. If and when Axel kills Sora, the Vexen card will revive you. Immediately activate the Oogie Boogie card to regenerate his low health.


The Vexen card shouldn't be used early and instead only if Sora is soon to be defeated, since Axel's sleights will be able to stun Sora once the the card is active. If and when Axel defeats Sora, the Vexen card will revive him. Immediately activate the Oogie Boogie card or use Cures 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 you damage him but use it when he reloads his cards so he wont be able to break your 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. 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.


After Oogie Boogie runs out, it is wise to unload on sleights, and use either another Elixir or a Hi-Potion stacked with higher valued cards when running out of cards to avoid having to reload. The [[Trinity Limit]] sleight (use 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 or a sleight with a higher value 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. 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.
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 your 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 you're close to Axel. If you can't use a 0 card (in the event that you have used them 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.


While his regular attacks are the same from before, his sleights are much more powerful. His new Firetooth sleight can be very difficult to avoid and deals huge damage and is better worth cardbroken when Axel readies himself.

====First battle====
;Deck
{{Q|Defeat the mysterious man Axel! Fight using the mystifying keyblade!|Battle hint}}
{{tab|o}}{{tab|First battle}}
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.

;Attacks
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 their balance and counter-attack when struck. If Axel's attacks are blocked with Guard or the player's own attack, he will be temporarily stunned.

===''Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories''===
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.
[[File:Versus Axel KHRECOM.png|thumb|right|Axel battles Sora in ''Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories''.]]
====First battle====
In the first battle Axel is much similar to the original game, but the Fire Wall sleight can no longer be avoided and must be card broken.


====Second battle====
====Second battle====
In the remake, the same strategy as the original game can be used, but now Sora can have access to the [[Demyx]] card, the [[Lethal Frame]] sleight, and the [[Jafar]] Card which now takes effect on attack sleights.  
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.


If Sora has access to the [[Demyx]] Card, he can equip a deck full of Blizzard cards and keep pounding Axel with Blizzagas and use Mega-Ethers combined with strong cards to reload them. Using Blizzaga in a chain can stunlock Axel for a while until Sora has to reload. This Enemy Card's duration is twice as that of the Blue Rhapsody Card and boosts Blizzard-elemental attacks and sleights further. If this card wears off or is unavailable, Sora can use the Blue Rhapsody card and keep repetitively using Blizzaga. The strategy involving the use of Blizzard Raid from a certain distance cannot be used anymore and the sleight can only hit twice for a total damage that is inferior to one Blizzaga.
When the battle begins, Axel will yell "Burn, baby!", the floor of the arena will become covered in magma, and Roxas will slowly lose health over time. If the player hits Axel with a finishing move, he will be knocked into the air and the player 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.


One other strategy involves using the Jafar Card and combine it with Ars Arcanum, with the three combined attack cards having a value of 6 at most.
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.


When Axel reaches low HP, his Firetooth sleight can hit Sora multiple times and must be cardbroken in order to avoid damage.
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.

====Replica Data====
====First battle====
When Sora battles Axel in the '''Garden of Assemblage''' he 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 you get from the magma floor.
Axel faces Roxas the first time during his [[Struggle]] match. This battle is not too difficult. 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.

[[File:Versus Axel KHII.png|thumb|right|Axel battles Roxas for the final time within the Old Mansion.]]
{|class="wikitable" width="90%"
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.

When the battle begins, Axel will yell, "Burn, baby!" and activate Prison of Flames, covering the floor of the arena  in magma that causes Roxas to slowly lose health over time. If Roxas hits Axel with a finishing move, he will be knocked into the air and Roxas can use the "Overtaker" Reaction Command.

If dealt enough damage to the point of nearly defeating him, Axel will begin his "Wild Dance" move by throwing his flaming chakrams at Roxas, then striking him with a multi-hit combo, and 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. Use the Reaction Command Burst Frontier 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.

|'''Firetooth'''
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-based 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 Prison of Flames.
|Axel throws two flaming chakrams at Sora, or creates four flaming chakrams that bounce around the area damaging Sora in the process. Only available in the second battle.

In this battle, Prison of Flames will rapidly drain Sora's HP unless he uses Clear Light. A good strategy is to have Auto Limit on to transform into [[Limit Form]] and restore Sora's HP if he's in critical condition while his MP is recovering. Equipping Ultima Weapon along with [[MP Haste]] and MP Hastera can reduce Sora's MP recharge to a mere 15 seconds. If the player uses two finishing moves on Axel with one combo (using Finishing Plus) he will jump outside to attack Sora. This will allow Sora to counter with Burst Frontier, then Overtaker, and finally Clear Light to prevent anymore damage to his HP. Axel also cannot be beaten while the floor is on fire.
|}
 
Limit Form with [[MP Rage]] equipped is also a good idea as performing limits will damage Axel and restore Sora's HP. The HP drained by the ignited floor will be converted to MP for Sora to use in an endless cycle as long as he's still in Limit Form.
