'''[[Zexion]]''' appears as a boss in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories]]'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]'', and ''[[Kingdom Hearts Union χ]]''. Originally intending to recruit Riku as an aid against the rebellious Marluxia, Zexion and the boy later clashed after Marluxia's destruction, Riku naught but an annoyance to Zexion and, to a lesser extent, the Organization, with the traitorous Organization members having been defeated. Conquered by Riku during their climatic battle and later eliminated by the Riku Replica, Zexion later appeared before Sora as both an [[Absent Silhouette]] and a [[Organization XIII's Replica Data|Data Rematch]].

==Strategy==

The battle against Zexion can be quite an annoyance and difficult to overcome. Fortunately, Riku will remain in [[Dark Mode]] for the entire battle, granting an increase of strength and speed, as well as the ability to use Sleights. Despite this, it is recommended that Riku have a relatively high {{AP|2}} level, ensuring he deals as much damage as possible through any means of offense.

Zexion's main strategy is to continuously steal Riku's cards in order to prepare for his more threatening techniques; this is done mainly by throwing the Book of Retribution in Riku's direction. If this attack hits, Riku will lose three cards. These cannot be reloaded while in Zexion's possession, but this tactic can be successfully dodged by Dark Mode's [[High-Speed Step]]. However, Zexion has one last method of stealing Riku's cards, his only available Sleight in early stages of the battle, Cyclone Snatch. During the execution of this Sleight, Zexion will create a black vortex in the center of the battlefield. This vortex will draw Riku in so long as it remains, dealing slight damage when he touches it and stealing two cards per hit. Cyclone Snatch can be avoided, however, by continuously using High-Speed Step towards the edge of the battlefield until the attack ends.

When Zexion has collected enough cards, three copies of the Book of Retribution will appear in the corners of the battlefield, glowing with a mysterious aura. Zexion will now start using Riku's stolen Soul Eater Cards instead of his Magic Cards, three intangible copies of Zexion appear alongside him, each with a false Soul Eater in hand, and, if available, he may use his own Enemy Card. When Zexion uses a Soul Eater card, his clones will rush at Riku, slashing him, the combo ending with a downward slam from Zexion himself, and with his Enemy Card in effect, Riku may get afflicted by Confusion. Zexion also will have access to two very powerful Sleights, Dark Punisher and Catastrophe. During Dark Punisher's execution, Zexion will grab Riku from behind and slowly damages him. Only a Card Break will free Riku from the boss's grasp. Catastrophe is far more deadly, however; Zexion summons a sphere of light energy in the center of the battlefield and shoots a laser beam at it while any remaining clones do the same. Zexion and his clones rotate around the area. Again, only Card Breaks will allow Riku to escape.

Being left with only low-numbered cards will greatly hinder Riku once Zexion summons his clones, as he will use higher card values than usual during this time, making destroying the Book of Retribution copies a difficult task. The lack of high-valued cards in Riku's deck makes it almost impossible to stop Zexion's Sleights. Any King Mickey cards should be saved, as they will be useful for replenishing Riku's HP if it ever drops to the Alarm Zone. If Zexion ever utilizes his Enemy Card, which grants him the Confu-Strike ability, be cautious, as any attack utilized by him will have a chance of inflicting the Confused status on Riku. While confused, Riku's controls will be reversed. This can be an extreme hindrance when it comes to dodging. If Riku ever needs extra support mid-battle, an Enemy Card such as Jafar, Maleficent, or Oogie Boogie can be used. If he has less than 8 cards left, Riku won't be able to Card Duel anymore.

|Zexion and his remaining illusion clones move counterclockwise around the arena, firing powerful beams of light to the center. After about 5 seconds, Zexion attacks the newly formed light orb at the center from above, and causes an explosion across the arena. Riku can dodge the beams of light by dashing through them, but the explosion cannot be avoided.

At the start of the battle, Zexion will attempt to trap Sora and friends within the Book of Retribution. In order for any member of the trio to be trapped, they must stand within the path of the glowing symbol Zexion summons before him. If Donald or Goofy is trapped, they will alert Sora by shouting his name, needing to be released from the book through physical combos. Once it is destroyed, the character held captive will be freed.

 

 

As Zexion's HP begins to dwindle, he will capture Sora and send him to a different area of the pocket dimension. Three circles of light, two red and one blue, will then appear on the ground. The colors of the circles will then proceed to shuffle around, changing thirteen times in total. When the final shuffle occurs, Sora will have only a moment to enter the blue circle, requiring use of Quick Run for consistent success. Success will surround Sora in a protective barrier, allowing them to attack the concealed Zexion. Failure to do so will cause Sora and the party to be bombarded by meteors. A long-lasting Limit such as Duck Flare or Comet can be used to prevent damage, but Sora can also rely on the Once More or Second Chance abilities if he has them equipped and then utilize Cure or a Potion when the attack ends. Sora, Donald, and Goofy will then be transported back to the first area of the pocket dimension, Zexion again needs to be located and attacked so that the "Dispel" Reaction Command can be used. Zexion can then be bombarded by physical attacks or spells such as Fire and Thunder until defeat, Zexion relinquishes the Book of Shadows Recipe as a reward for being defeated.

 

|Emits a green light that traps the opponent in a book.

|Used during normal combat, and starts with this technique immediatly in the Absent Silhouette fight. He waits a few seconds at the start and uses it twice during the Data Rematch. Starts by capturing party members before targetting Sora. Counterattacks with this technique when flinching by repelling the opponents, and starts prioritizing Sora after taking enough damage or if the battle stays in the normal arena for too long. When Zexion's HP falls below 75% in the Data Rematch, he targets all opponents when countering. If Sora gets captured, the party enters the book dimension. Zexion is invincible during this technique.
