====Marluxia (First Form)====
Marluxia is the first boss with 4 full HP bars, meaning this will be a long fight. A good tactic for Phantom Saber is to use a 0 attack card to break the attack and deal damage. Beware of his Card Breaks if he uses a 0-valued Phantom Saber within range. To avoid that, the Jafar card can prove to be useful by using and breaking one card at a time and taking advantage of Marluxia's weakness to physical combos. The other attacks can be dodged by jumping over them. His two [[sleight]]s, '''Deathscythe''' and '''Blossom Shower''', on the other hand, are easy to dodge. For Deathscythe, all [[Sora]] has to do is head up or down towards the wall after he swings the scythe. If timed well, this can allow Sora to dodge the attack. Blossom Shower can also be dodged. If [[Dodge Roll]] is used at the right moment, it can nullify the damage the sleight would have otherwise caused. Dodging Marluxia's attacks as often as possible is the key to victory.

====Marluxia (Second Form)====
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 Deathscythe. It is possible to damage the main body in this stage, but Marluxia is only vulnerable after a card break, making Omnislash useless at this point of the fight, and there's a chance the game would start targetting a blade instead.  
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.


He fires 5 Crescent Shockwaves which can be dodged by jumping and heading to the fore/background. He summons that shoot lasers first using Bit Attack, which can be easily destroyed simply by card breaking them. He occasionally uses Blossom Shower, which can be dodged with a well-timed Dodge Roll if not card broken.
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. Eventually, Sora is forced off and the whole process begins again. This pattern repeats until Marluxia is defeated.
 
Marluxia hovers above Sora and slams the mechanical vehicle down using Circle Reject, 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. Sora can always break those cards with one Cure card at a time whenever he is in a pinch. Using 9-valued ones guarantees a card break, and using only one at a time makes them reloadable without the need of an item card.
 
After this attack, Marluxia rears back and uses Body Blow. Card breaking this is important, as doing so puts Marluxia in his most vulnerable position. Once the attack is broken, Sora gets an opportunity to get on the back of the mech and Marluxia sends out three more bits to protect him, and becomes permanently targettable during that time. It's important to note is that the less bits remain on screen, the harder Sora gets pushed away from 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, while boosted by the [[Crescendo]]'s enemy card. 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. Alternatively, and given Marluxia being targettable, Sora can now use [[Omnislash]] with no fear of the sleight getting cancelled, and if he has Marluxia's Double Sleight Enemy Card equipped, he might deal even more damage, but must make use of that strategy only when all bits are destroyed. Eventually, Sora is forced off and the pattern repeats until Marluxia is defeated.

In ''Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories'', Marluxia's attacks are drastically redesigned. For example, '''Blossom Shower''' has changed completely from being just a rose petal shower, to a long, virtually unavoidable Sleight, and the '''Deathscythe ''' Sleight has gone from one strike to three, much faster strikes.

Line 581: Line 510:
The only sure way to survive Marluxia's '''Blossom Shower''' is to have the [[Auto-Life]] [[Vexen]] card or have a 0 card in place before the Sleight is played. During '''Deathscythe''', if Sora doesn't break it, he should wait until his scythe spinning and immediately Dodge Roll to the left or right of him. In '''Drop Shot''', either try to Dodge Roll and continue moving around or the fissure will hit you, but this sleight should give enough time to pull a 0 card.

Strategies include :
One can also create a deck containing only cards with a value of 0, as well as three Cures of a high value.
* A deck containing only cards with a value of 0, as well as three Cures of a high value,
* A strong [[Firaga]] deck and add a [[Curaga]] and [[Elixir]]s at the end, with the repetitive use of Firaga cards dealing a lot of damage, enough to defeat him pretty quickly,
* Using the Roxas Enemy Card, or alternatively the Dragon Maleficent Enemy Card if the former isn't available, and pounding Marluxia with mere Keyblade combos, taking advantage of his weakness to physical attacks.


Another strategy is to create a strong [[Firaga]] deck and add a [[Curaga]] and [[Elixir]]s at the end. Keep using the Firaga cards and they will deal a lot of damage, enough to defeat him pretty quickly.

[[File:Versus Marluxia (Second Form) KHRECOM.png|thumb|right|Marluxia's second form fighting against Sora.]]
The battle in ''Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories'' is very similar to the battle in ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories'', although Marluxia spends much more time on the field and is more vulnerable to attacks, the field is much larger, 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) 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.
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 Bit Attack, Crescent Shock Wave, and Circle Reject. 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]] using Radiance of 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, similar to that 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.


For the first part of the battle, the objective is nearly the same as in ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories'': destroy the scythes. Marluxia will swing at Sora with his scythes in a manner similar to Deathscythe. This can be avoided by dodge rolling around the machine he rides. When destroyed on Sora's own, each of the blades releases a few HP orbs. It is possible to attack Marluxia directly and lock on to him when his HP is visible by moving past the blades and avoid dealing with them. When Marluxia's HP Gauge is reduced to three bars, any remaining scythe blades will be destroyed. After both are destroyed, Marluxia will rocket across the field in an attempt to ram into Sora, though this can easily be dodged with a well-timed Dodge Roll. Unlike ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories'', this attack, once broken, doesn't give Sora the opportunity to jump on the nobody's back.

He will summon three shot buds, but they can be disposed of easily by simply card breaking Marluxia when he uses Bit Attack. Afterwards, he will create a rotating ring of three to five "X"-shaped flower waves and fire them at Sora. He does this faster as his HP gets lower, and uses more the less blades remain. At regular intervals, he will use his sleight-like attacks: the mega Blossom Shower and the Radiance of Darkness. As previously mentioned, the Radiance of Darkness attack turns the entire deck completely black (with the exception of the reload card), preventing Sora from seeing them. He repeats this attack pattern until his HP almost reaches halfway, then he begins using the drop down shockwave attack. Marluxia does this three times in a row, then repeats the previous attack pattern. This continues until he is defeated.

====Marluxia (Third Form)====
====Marluxia (Third Form)====
[[File:Versus Marluxia (Third Form) KHRECOM.png|thumb|right|Marluxia's third form fighting against Sora.]]
Marluxia has three regular attacks, the first of which are the shot buds from the second battle which have higher accuracy and card value than last time, the second attack is Marluxia's mega Blossom Shower which has not changed from the last battle, and the third attack is a blast of energy similar to Deathscythe.

As this fight takes place as soon as Marluxia's second form is defeated and there is no chance to modify the deck. So what will work well is before the battle with Marluxia, put in at least 12 attack cards, three or six of which are zeroes. Put in several [[Cure]] and [[Thunder]] cards and if possible some Cloud and [[Stop]] cards to use Cross Slash+. Finally, put in the [[Vexen]], [[Oogie Boogie]], [[Jafar]], [[Shadow]], [[Trickmaster]], [[Barrel Spider]], and [[Air Soldier]] [[Enemy Card]]s. [[Guard Armor]] and [[Axel]] are also useful as Guard Armor lets Sora attack Marluxia from a greater distance and Axel gives a slightly better chance of escaping Omni Laser. Marluxia cannot break any of Sora's sleights if their values are higher than 24, as the enemy doesn't use any zeroes.

[[Guard Armor]] and [[Axel]] are also useful as Guard Armor lets Sora attack Marluxia from a greater distance and Axel gives a slightly better chance of escaping Omni Laser.


When the battle begins use either the Jafar or Trickmaster cards to make [[attack cards]] invincible or decrease the value of Marluxia's cards, respectively; these are pretty strategic as Marluxia uses high value cards at the start of the battle. Then follow with the Shadow card to boost card values and even try to activate [[Ars Arcanum]], [[Blitz]] or [[Strike Raid]] to deal more damage; Ars Arcanum (three 1s) and Blitz (two 1s and a 9) become possible due to Shadow's effect. Marluxia's sleights have a maximum value of 24, so take advantage of Shadow to top this and deal some damage. When Shadow is used up, reload with an item card or let Marluxia use Gale of Severance so Sora can reload without interruption. Omni Laser is likely to follow, so use the Vexen card to increase chances of survival; if revived, follow up with Oogie Boogie to heal. Afterwards, simply attack Marluxia to finish him off; use the Air Soldier card to dodge Marluxia's attacks and reload at the same time, and then use the Barrel spider card for faster reloading from here on out.

Due to the absence of cards, Marluxia's battle strategies are changed. At the start of the fight, a small scene occurs in which Marluxia teleports next to Sora,  whispers in his ear, and curses him with a counter above his head, its maximum value being Sora's current level. Every strike from Marluxia's scythe decreases this counter by one, and it is game over if the counter hits zero. This means that on Level 1 Critical Mode, almost all of Marluxia's attacks are guaranteed to defeat Sora instantly in one fell swoop.

The strategy for taking down Marluxia's Data Rematch is the same, but he has more health. Marluxia, however, now begins the match by warping to the center of the arena, so try to intercept him quickly or spam Firaga until he emerges. Whenever he does this, he now instantly surrounds Sora with an aura of thorns. In addition, every successive time after the first that Sora uses '''Restore Count''', the amount of points he regains is cut by a half (13, 7, 3, 2, 1). As such, it's even more crucial to utilize Sora's defensive options this time around than ever. If Sora is close to level 99, his normal strikes should not be an issue.

If Marluxia teleports close to Sora, he is doing his five-hit combo. He will start with one slash, teleport, do one slash, teleport, do two slashes, and do one final slash where he is glowing pink, which is unblockable. He will then re-appear and be open for attack. Block the first four hits, dodge the fifth, then jump and attack to close on on his position for a combo.

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 unblockable. 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.

If Marluxia charges up a large black tornado under him, he will do his tornadoes-into-armor combo. The tornado will pull Sora in, then Marluxia will do one unblockable pink swing. He will follow up with another tornado, then jump into the air and crash down with a large pink shockwave. This shockwave move will give him armor, and will make him immune to stagger for its duration. However, one Fire spell will instantly destroy his armor. If his armor is not destroyed, then he will resume using other moves, and the armor should wear off after a couple moves have completed. There are several ways to handle this:
