Shadow Roxas is an enemy fought near the end of Roxas's story in Kingdom Hearts II.

Story[edit]

Kingdom Hearts II[edit]

Roxas in front of the waterfall.

When investigating the Seven Wonders of the Other Twilight Town, Roxas checks up on the "Shadowy Doppelgänger" myth and ends up in front of a waterfall. He sees a reflection of himself, which turns into a dark Roxas clone. It then engages in battle with him. Shadow Roxas is last seen after Roxas and friends leave the waterfall, peering out ominously until dissipating into nothingness.

Design[edit]

Befitting its name, Shadow Roxas is a shadowy doppelgänger of Roxas, wearing his attire during his time in the Other Twilight Town. Its face is completely blank, save for its nose. It wields a shadow Struggle Sword regardless of the real Roxas's style of Struggle Bat.

Strategy[edit]

Shadow Roxas uses a dark Struggle Sword against Roxas. All of its attacks are based on Roxas's ground combo. The simplest method is to Guard or deflect its attacks, then counter with combos, preferably air combos. Defeating it does not yield EXP.

When an attack is repeatedly repelled, a combo of three different attacks may be launched. When reduced to 50% HP, Shadow Roxas will frequently use combo attacks.
