Editing Sleight

[[File:Sleight Screen KHRECOM.png|thumb|200px|The Sleight screen in ''Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories''.]]

A {{nihongo|'''sleight'''|ストック技|Sutokku Gi|lit. "stock technique"}} is a type of special technique in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories]]'', activated by certain combinations of two or three {{c|Cards|com}}. Sleights are used by [[Sora]], [[Riku]], bosses that use a deck, and [[Marluxia]]'s Third Form. Sora may learn sleights through [[level]]ing up, progressing through the story, obtaining certain cards, or opening [[treasure chest]]s, while Riku gains all of his sleights early in his story. Each sleight has certain requirements to be activated, and most require all three stockable cards to be a certain type or value. Some sleights only require two cards; these Sleights will activate if the stocked cards don't fulfill any three-card Sleight, and can be activated with only two cards if desired by "stocking" the reload card instead of one in the player's deck, or by pressing {{button|l1}} and {{button|r1}} simultaneously in ''Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories''. As sleights are activated through a combination of stocked cards, the first card in the sleight will disappear from the player's deck unless certain [[enemy card]]s are activated, but they can be recovered with high-level [[item card]]s.

Since the first card in a stocked combo is removed from the player's deck when the combo is used, unless said card is the only basic card left in the deck, the player can quickly be reduced to a few weak cards if they abuse combos without arranging them into efficient sleights. It is advised to build multiple layers of sleights into a deck, ensuring that cards may be used in multiple sleights, even after initial sleights remove cards from the deck.

 

The term "sleight" may come from "{{w|sleight of hand}}", a skill commonly associated with card tricks.

|{{sleight|Larxene - A1|Larxene - M|Larxene - M|com=*}}

|Larxene throws 8 knives into the ground, and summons lightning over a wide area. The lightning can hit 2-3 times.  

|Only used during the second battle. 8 knives are spread along the edges of the arena shooting electric shocks. If one hits Sora, all shocks will aim at him, he gets lifted in the air and receives damage 5 times at 1-second intervals. Sora can still act in the meantime, though he cannot use the Reload Card.

|Used in the second fight. Larxene repeatedly teleports to Sora's side, attacking 4-6 times with Continuous Attack or Knife Throw.{{KHCoM}}<br>Larxene teleports to Sora's side, striking twice, and repeats this up to 10 times. Can be dodged with proper timing.{{ReCoM}}

The fireball first travels straight, before flying toward the opponent.{{KHCoM}}<br>Riku Replica gathers dark power in his left hand, and fires a projectile.

|Hook jumps on a higher platform and drops 6 barrels, which are placed next to each other across the arena. The barrels roll back and forth in accordance with the tilt of the arena. They explode when 25 seconds have passed, they hit Sora, Riku, or Hook, or when they are caught in the explosion of another barrel. Once Hook drops the barrels, he'll wait on the higher platform, before coming down and chasing Sora or Riku, and attacking them with his sword when getting close, jumping back on the platform afterwards, and repeating the process.  

|Hook throws 6 present bombs, one at a time, which explode immediately.  

|{{sleight|Captain Hook - A1|Captain Hook - A1|Captain Hook - A3|com=*}}

|Ice needles appear from the ground one after another, tracking the opponent. The attack stops early once it hits.{{KHCoM}}<br>Vexen protects himself with an ice barrier, while generating ice needles from the ground that follow Sora or Riku 20 times.

|Marluxia sends out a spiral of flower petals from his hand. Has a very wide range.{{KHCoM}}<br>Marluxia warps and slashes 3 times, before warping to the center of the arena and creating two massive shock waves. Finally, Marluxia shoots innumerable light projectiles to Sora. Although they deal little damage, getting hit by one causes several others to hit as well.{{ReCoM}}

|Marluxia strikes the ground from above, causing a massive explosion, before jumping in the sky. The explosion hits 2-3 times. Only used when Marluxia's HP is less than 40% of maximum.

|{{nihongo|'''Gale of Severance'''{{ReCoM}}|断絶の烈風|<br>Danzetsu no Reppū|lit. "Gale of Extinction"}}

|Used at short range. A shock wave sends Sora flying, and a gust of wind from the Specter prevents him from approaching. However, Sora can still glide to get closer.

|Marluxia shoots thorn-shaped beams towards Sora. When hit, the screen zooms focuses on Sora, while he gets a counter above his head starting at 6 and the specter slowly approaches him. Sora has to break 6 of Marluxia's cards (valued 1~8) before the counter reaches 0 (within 18 seconds). When succesful, the screen returns to normal. If the counter reaches 0, the Specter will make Sora's HP drop to 0 with a scythe swing, ignoring any Enemy/Special Card effects. The thorns can be evaded with Dodge Roll.  

|{{nihongo|'''Whirlwind to the Void'''{{ReCoM}}|虚無への旋風|<br>Kyomu e no Senpū|lit. "Whirlwind to Nothingness"}}

|Marluxia and the Specter generate 3 tornadoes that chase Sora and circle around. When hit, they scatter the Cards from Sora's Deck across the arena (excluding stocked Cards, unreloadable Cards, Enemy Cards, and Special Cards; Friend Cards are permanently lost). Sora can retrieve the Cards by walking over them. After about 20 seconds, Cards that haven't been picked up will fly away (except the Reload Card), but will return to the Deck when reloading.  

|Used when Marluxia's HP is less than 50% of maximum. The Specter warps to Sora and strikes the ground with the scythe's hilt, creating a shock wave. Has a shorter attack range compared to the previous battle.

|Used when Marluxia's HP is less than 50% of maximum. Surrounds Sora with 16 bits from the outer ring of the arena that simultaneously shoot a ray of light. The ray is fired for 6 seconds, and hits up to 6 times (1 per second), but it can be avoided with Dodge Roll.

|Used with no charge. Lexaeus gathers energy and slams the ground with his axe sword. Rocks then appear from the ground around Riku. Can be difficult do avoid, and Riku can get hit multiple times.  

|Lexaeus digs up a rock from the ground and punches it, scattering debris.{{KHCoM}}<br>Can be used with yellow Charge. Lexaeus moves to the center of the arena, summons 6 rocks around him and shatters them with his axe sword, sending debris flying. Both the rocks and the debris deal damage. The attack can be avoided by side-stepping the moment the rocks break, or by double jumping in Dark Mode.{{ReCoM}}

|{{sleight|Lexaeus - A1|Lexaeus - A2|Lexaeus - A1|com=*}}{{KHCoM}}<br>{{sleight|Lexaeus - A2|Lexaeus - A1|Lexaeus - M}}{{ReCoM}}

|Can be used with red Charge. Lexaeus hits the ground from the sky, and creates a shock wave that covers the entire arena. If the attack is not broken, Lexaeus will lose all Charge status after the attack.  

|Zexion summons a tornado with one of his floating Lexicons in the center of the arena that draws Riku in. When Riku approaches it, the top 2 Attack Cards from his deck get stolen every 2 seconds, and he takes damage when he touches it. If no Lexicons remain on the field, this attack has Zexion summon three Lexicons instead.  

|Zexion quickly approaches Riku and grabs him. While holding him, he inflicts damage every second, up to 8 times.  

|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.  

|The Dark Figure appears from under the opponent's feet a total of 8 times. If it hits, the opponent will be knocked straight up and takes continuous damage.{{KHCoM}}<br>Used when HP falls below 25%. After the Dark Figure appears from under Riku's feet eight times in a row, Ansem unleashes shock waves that move along the ground in all directions. The Dark Figure can be avoided with High-Speed Steps, and the shock waves can be avoided by standing diagonally from the enemy.{{ReCoM}}

|The Dark Figure swings its hands back and forth, firing a total of seven rings of light. Has a fast firing rate, but can be avoided by moving away and High-Speed Step to the side.  

|Performs a series of high-speed shoulder tackles as he runs back and forth across the field.{{KHCoM}}<br>Charges five times. Moves very fast and is difficult to avoid.{{ReCoM}}
