|2nd hit: Stun (requires [[File:Lexaeus (card) KHCOM.png|15px]])

In ''Kingdom Hearts: Re:Chain of Memories'', most of Lexaeus's attacks are similar. He repeatedly strikes the ground and jagged rocks shoot up, attempting to impale Riku. A new attack is when Lexaeus starts to emit a yellow aura, during which his strength is temporarily increased, as well as his defense to which he doesn't flinch when taking damage. Using Dark Aura there can deal even more damage. He can do this a second time while it is already in effect, emitting a red aura, gaining another boost and becomes temporarily invulnerable to all attacks except card duel sleights. These buffs also replace his sleight with another, stronger one.

Since his power up can be fatal if allowed to go through, a good approach to the battle is to prevent him from being able to power up, but beware that all of his magic cards are valued 9, and thus Riku will have to use his 0s or 9s or stack cards to break them. The player should use Sleights, preferably through the lower valued cards (although it is still recommended to leave a few). Through this method, Lexaeus not only will be prevented from powering up but also from attacking, while accumulating DP quick. Once the player enters Dark Mode, the player should assault Lexaeus with Sleights, such as Dark Aura or Dark Break (hence why to leave a few low valued cards, otherwise a 0-7-7 combo can also work). These, in conjunction with the Maleficent Card, will deal a large amount of damage quick all the while stunning Lexaeus, thus greatly simplifying the battle. In order to optimize the damage dealt by Dark Aura, Riku may wait until Lexaeus charges to his yellow aura to then perform Dark Aura, preferably on a Rapid Break, so that Lexaeus won't stagger while taking all hits, for the reason that when Lexaeus isn't under the Charge status, Dark Aura knocks him back after each strike and can cause him to accidentally avoid one strike or two. Beware of any cardbreak in the meantime, and alternatively use this tactic along with Jafar Enemy Card if in need for safety.

|2nd hit: Stun (66%/requires [[File:Lexaeus (card).png|15px]])

|No Charge: x1.0<br>Yellow Charge: x1.5<br>Red Charge: x2.0

|Used at close range. Lexaeus swings his axe sword down and performs a second strike. With a yellow or red Charge, the second hit will create a shock wave. With a red Charge, the shock wave will cover the entire arena.

|After taking around 5 card breaks, Lexaeus loses his current state of the Charge status: reverts to the yellow Charge if it was red or loses all Charge if it was yellow.

|Can be used with yellow Charge. Lexaeus moves to the center of the arena, summons 6 rocks around him and shatters them with his axe sword, sending debris flying. Both the rocks and the debris deal damage. The attack can be avoided by side-stepping the moment the rocks break, or by double jumping in Dark Mode.

|Can be used with red Charge. Lexaeus hits the ground from the sky, and creates a shock wave that covers the entire arena. If the attack is not broken, Lexaeus will lose all Charge status after the attack.}}
