A good tactic for Phantom Saber is to use a 0 attack card to break the attack and deal damage. 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. | |||

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. Eventually, Sora is forced off and the whole process begins again. This pattern repeats until Marluxia is defeated. | |||

{{Atk-c}} | |||
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. | |||
When the battle begins, Sora should be ready to Dodge Roll or [[Card Break]], because as soon as Marluxia plays an attack card, he takes no time in attacking. During '''Phantom Saber''', Marluxia dashes towards Sora and immediately start striking, so Sora should always keep a good distance from Marluxia in case he pulls this card. In '''Crescent Shock Wave''', Sora has a little bit more time to react and should either have a higher card ready or just Dodge Roll towards Marluxia. | |||
When Marluxia uses '''Circle Reject''', it is always a good thing to be as far away as possible before he plays it, that way Sora has time to run and find a card to break it. | |||
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. | |||
One can also create a deck containing only cards with a value of 0, as well as three Cures of a high value. | |||
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. | |||

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. | |||
For the first part of the battle, the objective is 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. It is possible to attack Marluxia directly, but destroying the scythe blades first makes this easier. When destroyed, each of the blades releases a few HP orbs. 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. | |||
Marluxia | |||
He will summon three shot buds, but they can be disposed of easily by simply card breaking them. Afterwards, he will create a rotating ring of five "X"-shaped flower waves and fire them at Sora. He does this faster as his HP gets lower. At regular intervals, he will use his sleight-like attacks: the mega Blossom Shower and the "dark void". As previously mentioned, the "dark void" 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 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. | |||
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. | |||

====Absent Silhouette==== | |||
Due to the absence of cards, Marluxia's battle strategies are changed. At the start of the fight, Marluxia curses Sora 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 one-hit kill Sora. | |||
As the battle commences, Marluxia will begin to perform a combo with his scythe. While this combo can be blocked, it cannot be interrupted; as such, [[Keyblade]] strikes must be done after Marluxia finishes his or is stunned by blocks. After two finishers, Marluxia will teleport to Sora and swing his scythe, which can be easily dodged with Dodge Roll. If the attack connects, Sora is flung into the air, allowing Marluxia to perform a lengthy combo. [[Aerial Recovery]] is necessary at this point, as it can nullify Marluxia's scythe slash. Marluxia will also create a whirlwind that sucks the party towards him and follow it up with a barrage of scythe attacks. Successfully Guarding or Reflecting the attack grants access to two [[Reaction Commands]]. If Sora is near the scythe, he can use '''Restore Count''', in which he steals Marluxia's scythe, swings it several times, and hurls it back to its owner, restoring 13 points of Sora's counter. If near Marluxia himself, Sora can use '''Aerial Strike''', in which he narrowly evades Marluxia's scythe swing, leaps from atop the scythe itself, and bombards him with an aerial combo before sending him flying with a backswing. | |||
As Marluxia's health dwindles, he gains several additional attacks. He can teleport into the center of the arena and generate three circles surrounded by wisps of thorns, which cannot deplete Sora's counter but can deplete his health. The circles can dissipate after a while. Casting Firaga or quickly initiating a combo as he emerges can prevent him from attacking. During this phase, Marluxia can repeat his scythe combo, draw the party towards him with the whirlwind, or sink into the ground and spin towards Sora, the blade of his scythe visible. During the latter attack, Marluxia will only emerge once he hits Sora, or if Sora guards the attack. Marluxia can also slash Sora multiple times, each time preceded by him teleporting in a portal of flowers. | |||
The final phase introduces Marluxia's two ultimate attacks. His first is an extended version of his scythe wheel attack that does not end when it lands or is blocked. The second begins with the screen darkening as Marluxia rises upward before appearing above Sora and following his position, surrounded by a pink aura and laughing. Portals of darkness can appear and erupt within the radius of Sora's position, which can be evaded by Gliding or running in a close (but not tight) circle. Eventually, Marluxia will hurl his scythe towards Sora, which can hit multiple times, and then dive to and slam the ground. [[Reflect]] magic is necessary to survive the final hit. | |||
Both forms of Marluxia can be looped until his final phase. When Marluxia is teleporting to the middle of the arena before using the thorn circle attack, he is briefly vulnerable to damage, and attacking him will stagger him and create an opening. The vulnerability is short-lived, and the easiest way to exploit it is through landing a [[Slapshot]] or casting [[Fire]] as Marluxia is arriving at the middle of the arena. After landing a combo and hitting a revenge trigger, Marluxia will retaliate by vanishing, slashing Sora once, teleporting away, and then attempting to teleport to the middle of the arena to use the thorn attack again; leaving him open to an interruption and another combo. This loop works until his final phase, where he randomly begins to use his two desperation moves.{{?}}<!--use correct names--> | |||
====Data Rematch==== | |||
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. | |||

Following Luxord's defeat, the real fight against Marluxia and Larxene begins. He and Larxene will begin with their ultimate attacks. For his ultimate attack, when the screen darkens, Marluxia spins at high speed across the area. Watch his movements and dodge just before each impact. This technique ends when Marluxia strikes the ground, creating a zone of darkness on the entire terrain and causing petals to emerge from the ground to launch Sora skyward. | |||
Following this, Marluxia has only two main attacks. His most used attack is simply teleporting in front of either Sora or Mickey, and slashing them upward. He will slash around 1-3 times before teleporting back to the ground. He is wide open for a lot of the fight, as, sometimes, he simply walks around the arena without a care in the world. When you see him walking around, immediately airstep to him and combo him. Sometimes, however, he will teleport away and use his other main attack, of which he creates a field that draws Sora towards him before repeatedly striking with his scythe, dealing heavy damage which can and will reduce Sora's [[HP]] to 0 unless he has [[Withstand Combo]] active. His slashes can be blocked, but his finisher will break Sora's guard and trigger [[Risk Dodge]], which Sora can use to attack Marluxia, who is vulnerable after this combo. | |||
With patience, Marluxia should fall with ease. | |||
