During the second battle with Vexen his HP remains the same, but he now has new sleights to use against Sora. The Blizzara and slash attack will return, as well as the Freeze sleight. The same strategies can be used to avoid them. The same enemy cards used to help Sora win the first battle with Vexen will likely be useful in this battle as well.

The first of Vexen's new sleights is Iceburn. This sleight causes Vexen to create pools of slippery ice on random areas of the battlefield. When Sora steps on them, his speed will be reduced and he will merely trip. Careful maneuvering can be used to avoid the ice pools. Vexen also may use Ice Needles, a sleight that causes icicles to rise from the ground as they follow Sora. These icicles will not stop until they hit or until the Sleight runs its course, so it is best to keep at a constant run to avoid the icicles. He is also able to revive himself once using his Vexen Enemy Card, but this can be avoided by using the [[Parasite Cage]] enemy card.

The same strategy of using Fire-based attacks and sleights can be used.

====First battle====
In comparison to the other bosses Sora has faced thus far, Vexen will be the most difficult to overcome. He has a great amount of HP, and the fact that he blocks all frontal attacks can make landing a perfect combo a difficult task. Keep in mind Card Breaking him lowers his guard, as well as when he moves. He also absorbs all Blizzard-attributed attacks, so it is important not to bring any Blizzard cards into the battle. As he has a one fourth chance of casting Blizzard, save all [[Donald]] Friend Cards for a [[Wild Crush]] sleight. Bring a couple high-valued item cards into the battle to restore all used cards to Sora's deck, as well as a few [[Cure]] cards for the possible Curaga sleight. Consider bringing the Red Nocturne (if approaching Vexen with a Fire-based deck), Jafar, Oogie Boogie, Maleficent, or Captain Hook enemy cards into the battle, as well. Unlike the original ''Chain of Memories'', he has a normal damage resistance from Fire-based attacks, but like in most boss battles, the sheer repetitive use of Firaga with Red Nocturne and Xigbar boost is a reliable strategy.

Following a hit-and-run strategy may be the best option win this battle. Vexen may attempt a slashing combo that ends when he causes an icicle to rise from the ground below Sora, which can easily be dodged with Dodge Roll. Sora can Card Break the attack, causing Vexen to lower his Shield, this not only opens him up to more damage but also is one few instances where he can be hit from the front. Attack Vexen when he is either reloading his deck, in a non-offensive setting, or after he is Card Broken. Otherwise, it is best to keep Sora on the move. Vexen may attempt to shoot a homing shard of ice at Sora when he activates a magic card, but with careful timing, Dodge Roll can be used to avoid this attack. Vexen will only have access to two sleights during the battle, both of which can be easily avoided. The first is Freeze, Vexen will attempt to encase Sora in a block of ice so he can rush forward for a slash attack. Dodge Roll or a Card Break is the best way to prevent this attack. Vexen's Ice Needles sleight, however, is a bit trickier to avoid. Sora can Card Break the sleight, but if he is out of zero cards or doesn't have a sleight with a higher value, he can either Dodge Roll or keep at a simple run as the icicles chase him. The sleight will eventually end once it's run its course. Be careful that the attack is nigh unavoidable if the game is on 60 FPS and above, due to an oversight.

The second battle against Vexen is just as difficult as the first battle. He will use the same attacks and sleights, so the same strategies can be used again to avoid them. Sora also should use the same deck he used during the first battle for the best chance of success, granted more cards can be added if Sora has increased his CP. The only differences in this battle will be Vexen's two new enemy cards, the [[Air Pirate]] and Vexen, and a dangerous new sleight. This new sleight, Slide Break, has Vexen elongate his Shield and increase his attack range. He will then attempt to strike Sora twice before slamming the Shield down on the ground, creating an icy shockwave. Either Card Break the attack or chain several Dodge Rolls together to avoid it. Vexen uses his Enemy Cards in a fixed order: once he has used up his Blue Rhapsody Card, he uses his Air Pirate enemy card which prevents Sora from Card Breaking Vexen's [[item cards]], then uses his own enemy card afterwards in the fight, healing Vexen by 25% of his HP (which is almost two HP bars on difficulties above Beginner) once his HP hit 0. This is most likely avoidable due to how late he starts using it.

If the purple Data Bar at the top of the screen should fill up to one unit as Sora stands in the homing data stream Vexen summoned earlier, a Clone Sora in the style of Sora's [[Antiform]] is created.

Vexen is invincible when creating a Clone Sora, so he may be bound to stop/delay any of Sora's assaults whenever he gets the chance with one unit of data collected.

Sora should immediately switch to [[Wisdom Form]] to attack Vexen with Fire spells, since this will boost the spell's power. Additionally, the [[Bond of Flame]] can be equipped to increase the damage dealt with Fire magic. However, because this battle has an increased chance of activating Antiform, either spend time beforehand lowering Sora's Anti Points, or be prepared to go on the evasive. Remember, Antiform can't be used to defeat Vexen's shield or Clone Sora due to the lack of a finisher, through attacking them anyways can get Antiform to expire quicker. An [[Ether]] should be used right before Sora goes below zero MP rather than afterwards. This will increase the amount of Fire spells that can be launched before Sora reverts to normal.

Vexen can also occasionally use a move similar to his Diamond Dust sleight for a full screen effect to briefly blind and distract Sora, which deals no damage, but after the ice storm clears up, his data stream will have teleported right under Sora without notice. Be on the move constantly when this happens.
