'''[[Roxas]]''' is a boss in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]'' at [[The World That Never Was]].


==Strategy==
==Strategy==
===''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix''===
===Attacks===
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.
<!-- Attacks and attack names are per the Ultimania (http://kh13.com/forum/uploads/gallery/album_297/gallery_6_297_1401809144_60316.jpg) -->
 
*'''Continuous Swing''': Roxas swings his Keyblades wildly in left-and-right sweeping combos, and then dashes straight ahead with a powerful dual-outward strike after a delay (leaving shockwaves in the process). Guarding the final dashing slash causes Roxas to stagger and kneel down on the ground for a bit, after which Sora can get in a free combo. Roxas will always use this move to counterattack normally on the ground when his retaliation point occurs.
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.  
*'''Whirlwind Swing''': Assumes an offensive stance by twirling and drawing back his Keyblades, and performs a dual-outward slash, unleashing a whirlwind of light and darkness in the immediate area. Roxas always beings the battle with this attack. Can be blocked normally in anyway possible and can even be jumped over.
 
*'''Aerial Spin Swing''': Spins in midair and falls forward onto Sora's location. This is his main instant-retaliation attack when he's knocked into the air at any point.
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.
*'''Keyblade Throw''': Throws Keyblades like a buzzsaw up to five times, and afterwards unleashes a wave of dark power that draws Sora in. If above 40% HP, only two iterations of the "throw" are used and the "dark power" phase does not occur.
*'''Counterattack''': Dashes straight ahead. This attack is only used if Roxas is staggered after a guarded Continuous Swing and Sora fails to react after several seconds.
*'''Duel Attack''': Initiates a duel between Sora and Roxas, similar to the Samurai's Duel Stance Reaction Command. "The End" must be selected within 0.8 seconds; if successful, Sora steals Roxas's Keyblades (which deal additional damage after a finisher); if failed, Sora takes significant damage.<!-- Duel Attack is actually what happens if you FAIL, but the entire duel structure (デュエルの仕組み) is summarized here for convenience -->
*'''Instant Recapture Attack''': Roxas steals back his Keyblades from Sora; damage can be prevented with the Reversal Reaction Command, and Roxas always has his back facing toward Sora at the end.
*'''Spot Beam''' <!-- unsure of the differences between this and Arranged Beam; needs clarification -->
*'''Arranged Beam''' <!-- see Spot Beam -->
*'''[[Keyblade Release]]''': Roxas's desperation move when he reaches a certain amount of HP. He dashes to the middle of the battlefield, rises a few feet into the air (changing the background in the process), and unleashes fourteen orbs of light that home in on Sora. This attack is used after reaching 75% HP, 40% HP and randomly thereafter; it is unblockable with the standard Guard, and must be either Reflected or dodged in some way, especially through moving along the edge of the arena in a circle. An array of small short beams appear around Roxas during this time like a cage, and he cannot be touched in any way during this attack (either through running up to him as the beams as the area they block off will damage Sora, or trying to hit Roxas himself as he remains invincible during the attack). <!-- and it IS called "Keyblade Release" in KH2FM, not "Magic Hour"; it's clearly the visual inspiration for the latter, though -->
<!-- Continuous Swing, Whirlwind Swing and Aerial Spin Swing are supplemented by pillars of light after reaching 75% HP. Also, the pillars are unblockable. -->


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.

====Dark City====
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. He will then run behind Sora and use either Aerial Spin Swing, Whirlwind Swing, or Continuous Swing. Roxas will use Aerial Spin Swing if Sora attacks him enough or hits him with Explosion. Roxas may use Duel Attack every now and again, and should Sora win, will start using Spot Beams and Trap Beams relentlessly until he gets the chance to close in and use Instant Recapture Attack.


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.
When Duel Attack is completed successfully, several of Sora's actions (not just his attacks) all have Roxas's stolen Keyblades react each in a special manner dependent on the type of move Sora performs (such as spiraling around him during ground combos or piercing through Roxas from multiple directions if he gets launched into the air). However, this may also cause Roxas to retaliate sooner as more specific types of hits are landed on him, so be wary of being combo-happy on him. Eventually, he'll perform his Instant Recapture Attack and inevitability reacquire his stolen Keyblades, so Sora as Roxas's Keyblades are in his possession should take advantage of the situation in a careful and quick manner, landing as much damage on him as possible while avoiding retaliation.


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.

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 enter his desperation state will use his "[[Magic Hour]]" DM 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.
If Roxas reaches his retaliation point when knocked into the air, he'll forcibly retaliate with an Aerial Spin Swing. However, on ground he'll retaliate with random moves if one lets up their assault on him somehow, especially during the later phase after pulling off his desperation move, Magic Hour/Keyblade Release.


====Data Rematch====
====Data Rematch====
[[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, use '''Dodge Roll''', '''Reflect''', '''Guard''' and melee attacks—Roxas will use his light shields more often. The projectiles in Magic Hour 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). His health has also greatly increased, making the fight more dangerous. The best strategy is to activate (and win) his Duel Assault whenever possible to steal his Keyblades hit Roxas continuously. As long as Sora heals when necessary, the battle can be cleared with little-to-no problems.
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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.
