This battle is the first time the real Marluxia is fought. Marluxia fuses with the giant [[Specter]] and is fought largely in two stages. In the first stage, the objective is to destroy the scythe hands. The main attack it uses in this stage is a minor version of Deathscythe. It is possible to damage the main body in this stage, but Marluxia is only vulnerable after a card break. Once the blades are destroyed, Marluxia takes on a different strategy. He uses floating flowers that shoot lasers first, which can be easily destroyed simply by card breaking them. At regular intervals during the battle, he fires 2-5 slicer waves which can be dodged by jumping and heading to the fore/background. He occasionally uses Blossom Shower, which can be dodged with a well-timed Dodge Roll.

After this, Marluxia hovers above Sora and slams the mechanical vehicle down, creating a shockwave that can be avoided by jumping at the right time. He does this three times in succession, and it is important to note that as his HP get lower, the succession becomes faster and harder to dodge. After this attack, Marluxia rears back and shoots across the screen. Card breaking this is important, as doing so puts Marluxia in his most vulnerable position. Once the attack is broken, Sora is placed on the back of the mech and Marluxia sends out three more shot buds to protect him. It's important to note is that the less buds remain on screen, the harder it is to remain on the mech, as Sora is constantly forced backwards away from Marluxia. A good strategy is to use high level [[Cloud]] cards (around 7-9) in succession (one at a time, not in a sleight) while in front of Marluxia. Doing so deals a lot of damage in a short amount of time, and can also deal with the shot buds when card breaking them. If Sora has Marluxia's Double Sleight Enemy Card equipped, he can use it and combine it with [[Omnislash]]es, dealing even more damage, but must do so only when all shot buds are destroyed. Eventually, Sora is forced off and the whole process begins again. This pattern repeats until Marluxia is defeated.

|After a Card Break, Marluxia gets immobilized while near ground level, giving Sora the opportunity to jump on the Specter's back. Marluxia will fly away if nothing's done, but if Sora gets on its back, Marluxia will try to push him away by flying away faster every time a bit gets destroyed.}}

* Using the Roxas Enemy Card, and pounding Marluxia with mere Keyblade combos, taking advantage of his weakness to physical attacks.

The battle in ''Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories'' is very similar to the battle in ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories'', although Marluxia is always targettable, the field is much large and the arena itself is different, and Marluxia will often glide away from Sora. He uses many of his attacks from ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories'', including the shot buds, slicing waves, and the drop-down shockwave attack. Marluxia still uses only one card at a time, but his new attacks are more like sleights. The first of which is when he engulfs the field in [[darkness]], preventing Sora from seeing his cards (except for the reload card), while also turning the skies of the arena into a night sky full of shooting stars, probably recalling the skies from the original fight, and the second is when he creates a massive Blossom Shower. The perspective in these attacks changes to Marluxia, which can make it difficult to dodge these attacks. There is a way around the card seeing, stock cards and keep using sleights or removing when they are memorized.

|One of the bits fires a bullet. The bullets can be avoided by running in a big circle or gliding.

If Marluxia throws a large spinning scythe, he is doing his three-hit scythe spin combo. The scythe will start by spinning vertically along the ground toward Sora, then spin horizontally, then Marluxia will re-appear with a pink aura and catch the scythe, then throw his scythe vertically for the final hit. This final hit is unnblockable. Marluxia will re-appear in the last scythe's path to catch it, and will be open to attack. Block the first two hits, dodge the third, then jump and attack to get to Marluxia's position. Alternatively, enter focus at the end and Airstep to him to attack.
