'''[[Roxas]]''' is a boss in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]'' at [[The World That Never Was]].
The battle with '''Roxas''' takes place during the visit to [[The World That Never Was]]. The fight is only playable in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix+|Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]''. He is also the final boss in the digital [[Castle Oblivion]] in ''[[Kingdom Hearts coded]]''.


==Strategy==
==Strategies==
===''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix''===
===''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix''===
Roxas possesses higher than average resistance to non-physical elements, and as such, Sora should not rely on offensive magic other than Reflect in this fight for defensive purposes. Even if Reflect deals damage to Roxas, it will only deal roughly 1/10th worth of damage to one of Roxas's HP bar. Roxas has two movement speeds: a slow guarded trot with his Keyblades up, and gliding across the battlefield in a trail of light at extremely high speeds, equitable to Larxene's dash.
You are advised to stock up at least a few Hi-Potions for this battle. Note that here, you will be fighting alone. Roxas battles very similarly to [[Sora]], particularly in his battle quotes and combos.
 
The battle will always begin with Sora directly in his attack range. Just as the battle commences, Roxas will immediately use a variation of Whirlwind Swing that covers a large portion of the field, buffering the beginning animation while the cinematic camera is still craning behind [[Sora]], slightly before the player gains control. This attack can be fairly easily circumvented by guarding, dodging, [[Reflect]], or even jumping at the right time. If improperly evaded and assuming the attack is not lethal, the late hitboxes cause very short hitstun, but will push Sora very far back, making it nearly impossible to counterattack.
 
After the initial attack, he will run behind Sora and use either Aerial Spin Swing, Whirlwind Swing, or Continuous Swing. Watch for the Continuous Swing attack, as guarding the final dash attack causes Roxas to stagger back and stake his Keyblades in the ground in order to regain his balance, during which Sora has multiple seconds to start attacking. When his retaliation point is met, Roxas may counterattack with Continuous Swing or Keyblade Throw on the ground, or Aerial Spin Swing in the air.
 
Roxas may use Duel Attack every now and again, and when caught by it, a cinematic duel between Sora and Roxas begins, which is very similar to the [[Samurai]]'s Duel Stance [[Reaction Command]]. Once the duel has begun, the command menu will go blank, after which "The End" will appear in a random slot. This must be selected within the extremely stringent time limit of 0.8 seconds. If successful, Sora strikes first, sending Roxas into the air and stealing his Keyblades. If failed, Roxas cleaves downward through Sora, who takes significant damage. Roxas initiates this sequence by dashing toward Sora, and it will automatically occur if he touches him. Regardless, the duel can be avoided by repeatedly Reflecting, or by jumping and staying afloat for a few seconds with Air Dodge or Glide, after which Roxas will switch tactics. Unlike Duel Stance, Duel Attack does not technically count as a Reaction Command because Sora cannot chose whether to opt into it with {{button|t}} and must actively avoid it, making it just as akin to Duel Stance as Lexaeus's cinematic grab attacks.
[[File:Versus Roxas KHIIFM.png|thumb|right|Roxas battling against Sora within the [[Station of Serenity]].]]
 
When Duel Attack is completed successfully, Sora will wield Roxas's stolen Keyblades in conjunction to his own. Roxas's Keyblades will react depending on Sora's actions, not just his attacks, such as spiraling around him during ground combos or piercing through Roxas from multiple directions during combo finishers. However, this may also cause Roxas to retaliate sooner as more specific types of hits are landed on him, so be wary. Eventually, he'll perform his Instant Recapture Attack and inevitability reacquire his stolen Keyblades, so while Sora has Roxas's Keyblades in his possession take advantage of the situation in a careful and quick manner, dealing as much damage on him as possible while avoiding retaliation. When Roxas attempts to retake his Keyblades, Sora can quickly use Reversal to escape his counterattack, but failure will result in Roxas knocking Sora away for heavy damage. Either way, both results will end up with Roxas regaining his Keyblades.
 
After a quarter of his health is gone, Roxas gets even more aggressive. Duel Attack is used less frequently, and Roxas also adds several light-based elements and extra beams during several of his actions, causing him to have a more erratic attack range. Be on guard and do not try to block on misjudgment if possible (due to the light beams being unblockable), as Roxas's physical moves can still be blocked and countered normally.
 
However, regarding moves that come with the beams, it's possible to have Roxas turn around if Sora ends up behind him, altering the locations of the beams and allowing for easier room to block his physical attacks. Blocking any of his physical moves will at least always allow Sora to bypass his beams with Guard's invincibility from successful blocking.
 
After reaching 75% HP, 40% HP, and then randomly thereafter, Roxas will use his Keyblade Release attack. It is unblockable with the standard Guard, and must be either Reflected or dodged in some way, most reliably by moving along the edge of the arena in a circle. For the duration of the attack, an array of short lasers circle underneath Roxas like a protective cage, and he is also completely intangible. Also after being reduced to 75% HP, Roxas will begin using Spot Beam during his other attacks.
 
Once he is down to 40% of his HP, Roxas enters his desperation state will use his Keyblade Release attack frequently, and light beams will even be launched simply from him dashing around.
 
If Roxas is knocked into the air during his retaliation point, he will retaliate with an Aerial Spin Swing. However, on ground he'll retaliate with random moves if Sora lets up on his assault somehow, especially during the later phases after using his desperation move, Keyblade Release.


====Data Rematch====
When he attacks with his full power, Roxas dual-wields the [[Oathkeeper]] and the [[Oblivion]], and uses the element of [[Light]], becoming a highly dangerous foe. He can glide at high speed, so fast that he leaves behind a lens flare. He can control thirteen sword-shaped shields of light energy which can connect to form a laser array. Also, he can levitate his Keyblades in the air, spinning them rapidly, showing a great deal of proficiency and skill with the blades. He can also counter any extended combo with a more powerful one of his own, even creating a ring of damage just by twirling them in a circle. Good evasion is necessary - jump to avoid the ring of damage, and watch his every move.
[[File:Versus Roxas's Replica Data KHIIFM.png|thumb|right|Roxas's Replica Data appears before Sora in the [[Garden of Assemblage]].]]
In the data rematch, Sora should use exactly the same strategy he used when taking down his Nobody in the World that Never Was, but there are some differences, apart from Roxas's higher HP.


Roxas retaliates sooner from Sora's combos, and can now retaliate after just one finisher, though it may be hard to tell if Sora has Finishing Pluses and uses them on his Nobody. The projectiles in Keyblade Release now fly at faster speeds, requiring Sora to use '''Glide''' ('''Quick Run''' and '''Dodge Roll''' are not as advised due to the recovery on such movement options) to evade them.
His special attack involves him floating in the air and shooting his thirteen light shields around the arena, which then light it up in a thick mist as Roxas begins shooting blue spheres of light at his opponent from energy gathered in his hands. Here, Sora can evade these attacks by equipping '''Quick Run''' or '''Dodge Roll''' (note: '''Dodge Roll''' is a more favorable option than '''Quick Run''' because while Quick Running, Sora has a tendency of still being injured by Roxas's attacks - but while Dodge Rolling he is momentarily immune).


Furthermore, said retaliations can now involve Roxas's Keyblade Throw under certain circumstances, which tends to be near-instant and can allow Roxas to extend into a full combo if he even merely clips Sora with this attack. This can easily lead to a huge chunk of damage if not foreseen with a well-timed invincibility option.
He'll often attack rapidly from side-to-side, confusing the opponent, leaving a trail of light behind him. He can also perform the Duel Stance technique (similar to his [[Samurai]] [[Nobody|Nobodies]]) where he rushes at his opponent and slashes at them quickly, causing intense damage if not repelled (which may spell certain death if Sora's HP is too low). Sora can utilize Roxas's Keyblades if he does repel the attack. The key is to hit the '''Circle button''' at the right time at the right slot. This will make Sora the only character to wield three Keyblades at once, both his and the two he steals from Roxas, allowing him to deal intense damage. However, when Sora steals Roxas's Keyblades, Roxas resorts to utilizing his light shields to full effect, before moving in to steal his Keyblades back from Sora.


The best strategy is to activate (and win) his Duel Attack whenever possible to steal the Oathkeeper and Oblivion and bombard Roxas continuously, preventing him from using his best retaliation attacks as often as possible. As long as Sora heals when necessary, the battle can be cleared with few problems.
If you wish to use Limit Form for this fight, you may very well do so - '''Sonic Blade''' is a really good option to let Roxas's guard down - but again, beware of his attacks. Also, Beware when Roxas' HP is low, as he'll start using his Keyblades in conjunction with his light shields making the fight dangerous. Roxas, unlike other bosses, is also affected by the [[Magnet]] spell, which is a great way to set up magic assaults.


Another method is to use Limit Form and use '''Sonic Rave''' constantly; Sora will heal back the bits of damage he is dealt in between the limits, and do decent damage. '''Strike Raid''' is not advised because it puts Sora in a stationary position and has inconsistent invincibility frames; '''Infinity''' and '''Last Arcanum''', however, work wonders provided if Sora can connect onto Roxas properly, with the latter being exceptionally solid if Sora drops the extra Reaction Commands to prevent Roxas from reaching his retaliation point sooner than usual.
===Data Rematch===
{{Atk-o|KH2}}
In the data rematch, use '''Dodge Roll''', '''Reflect''', '''Guard''' and melee attacks to your full ability - Roxas has a greater tendency of using his light shields. His health has also greatly increased, making the fight more dangerous. The best strategy is to use the Duel Stance Reaction Command whenever possible and steal his Keyblades. Once you have them, hit Roxas with everything you got! But so long as the player heals periodically, Roxas will fall with ease.
