Be prepared for a multi-stage boss battle. During the fight, Xion transports Roxas to four different locations, each time assuming a different form.  
Be prepared for a multi-stage boss battle. During the fight, Xion transports Roxas to four different locations, each time assuming a different form.  
Xion possesses two unique abilities during her first three phases.
'''Counter Slash:''' When Roxas parries a combo attack (i.e. using Block), Xion performs an unblockable counterattack. Dodge Xion's attacks instead of Blocking.
'''Barrier:''' When her HP is low, Xion occasionally attempts to restore her HP. She floats into the air, channels for a couple seconds, then raises a dark barrier, becoming temporarily invulnerable and regaining a substantial amount of HP. Interrupt this ability by attacking Xion before she raises her barrier.


Xion's attacks require good timing and careful maneuvering to avoid. Make good use of Dodge Roll and Glide. Equip Cure magic and/or Potions. Attack magic is effective but not essential.

Avoid this attack by [[Glide|Gliding]] or running away (with a level 2 [[Haste]] equipped) until the projectiles disappear. If Xion performs Ragnarok repeatedly, land one or two attack combos while she is charging, then immediately move away. If dodging proves difficult, consider equipping a ring with Nil resistance such as [[Nothing to Fear]] to mitigate Ragnarok's damage.

Xion's third battle takes place in the '''Lamp Chamber''' area of [[Agrabah]]. In this form, Xion is more graceful and agile, performing flips and spins that make her difficult to hit. Xion's third form is difficult to dodge due to limited dodging room combined with Xion's agility and long reach. Land combos immediately after she stops attacking, and move away before she resumes.  
 
'''Continuous Slash:''' Xion's basic attack. Xion performs two downward diagonal slashes with her front blades, then a slow overhead slash with all four blades.

Xion's third form is arguably the most difficult form to dodge due to limited dodging room combined with Xion's agility and long reach. Land combos immediately after she stops attacking, and move away before she resumes.

The final battle with Xion takes place in front of the '''Train Station''' in Twilight Town. She becomes massive, but remains stationary at one end of the battlefield throughout the fight. In this form, Xion loses both Counter Slash and Barrier, and her regular attacks are slow and telegraphed. However, her attacks can inflict status effects.

<!--move to table as info on how to counter:
 
All of Xion's non-desperation attacks can be safely Blocked. Glide to dodge Xion's desperation attacks.-->
When Xion raises one blade, she performs either Continuous Slash or Continuous Rush.
 
'''Continuous Slash:''' Xion's basic attack. Xion performs a slash with each of her blades, then a slash with both blades.
 
'''Continuous Rush:''' Xion slashes four times. Each slash creates a shockwave of blue energy.
 
When Xion crosses her blades, she executes either Gravity or Laser.
 
'''Gravity:''' Xion creates an orb of darkness near her.
 
'''Laser:''' Xion fires blasts of light from her shoulder tendrils.
 
When her HP is low, Xion gains access to two powerful desperation attacks. Which one she uses depends on whether her previous attack was Gravity or Laser.
 
'''Laser Rain:''' Telegraphed by Laser. Xion creates a vortex, puts her Keyblades together, and fires a blast of light into the air, causing pillars of light to rain down randomly across the battlefield (Laser Rain is based on dual-wielding Roxas's limit break: [[Magic Hour]]). Avoid by Gliding as close to Xion as possible, where the attacks are less likely to hit.
 
'''Final Limit:''' Telegraphed by Gravity. Xion creates a massive pillar of light which engulfs most of the battlefield. Glide against the corners to the east or west of Xion. (Final Limit is based on Trinity Limit.) Alternately, equip Nil resistance to mitigate or prevent damage.
 
Memorizing how Xion's telegraphs each attack can be useful, but is not necessary: in this phase, all of Xion's non-desperation attacks can be safely Blocked. Glide to dodge Xion's desperation attacks.
