===''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix''===
Larxene has a completely different set of tactics in ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix''; rather than bashing Sora with long combos, she can now replicate herself. Her body clones can quickly encircle Sora and deal him large amounts of damage. Occasionally, her clones will literally fall from the sky, along with a few bolts of lightning right above Sora. If a substantial amount of her HP is depleted, her clones will come from all sides of the arena and rush through Sora, damaging him. Her most powerful Thunder-based attack, however, is a wall of lightning (similar to [[Hades (Boss)|Hades]]'s wall of fire in ''Kingdom Hearts''), which is best evaded by passing by its ends.
In ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'', the absence of cards completely changes Larxene's attack style. Fought as an Absent Silhouette, Sora must conquer the phantom version of this Nobody with Donald and Goofy at his side. While she now favors the new ability to replicate herself as her main form of offense, Larxene is still just as, if not more, deadly.


To attack Larxene without receiving any damage, make full use of [[Guard]] and [[Reflect]]. The edges of the Reflega spell can hurt Larxene and bring her guard down; this is where you can physically attack her. As for Guard, use it when Larxene's body clones are rushing towards Sora, from the sky or in rapid succession from all sides. Be sure to use it at the right time, or else Sora will receive damage. After physically attacking Larxene, or one of her body clones, you may use the [[Reaction Command]], Other Break, to hurl her body clone at her, disposing of the clone and dealing her damage. Larxene's moves are rather predictable, so good timing can finish her off in just a few minutes.
At the start of the battle, Larxene's Absent Silhouette will begin charging power, surrounding herself with damaging lightning. The player will then have to dodge three copies of the enemy as they rush in Sora's direction. Utilize High Jump Lv. 5, Reflega, or a well-timed Guard to avoid taking damage. When the Larxene copies have vanished, the player can then proceed to bombard Larxene with physical attacks. One should be careful if using an aerial combo, however, as several clones will rain down from the sky directly above Sora, hitting him with lightning and interrupting any combos the player was using to attack the true boss. If successfully attacks Larxene or one of her body clones, however, a Reaction Command can take place if body clones are present known as Other Break. If Other Break is activated, Sora will grab Larxene by the wrist and throw her into the air. He then will grab her body clone, also by the wrist, and spin her around, lifting her up off the floor. He lastly will hurl the the body clone at the original as she falls back down, causing them to forcibly merge, stunning Larxene for a short time. This consequently will open the boss up for more damage, but the player must remain cautious, as Larxene my come back to her senses and bombard Sora with lightning. Reflega, a chain of Dodge Rolls, or even Quick Run Lv. 5 can be used to avoid this lightning attack, as well as any Thunder spells the boss attempts to hit Sora with.


Be careful of Larxene's extremely fast movement in this battle. It is recommended that the player should know when to dodge, when to attack, as Larxene's clones can attack Sora independently and at Larxene's will. Don't use any Thunder spells during this battle, since Larxene will absorb the attack. Equip Sora, Donald, and Goofy with armor such as the [[Thundagun Trinket]] or the [[Petit Ribbon|Petit]]/[[Highest Ribbon|Highest]] Ribbons to minimize her Thunder damage.
After about two bars have been depleted from Larxene's total HP, her body clones will begin to attempt a ground assault. Several will rush at Sora either in a straight line or from all directions. Guard or Reflega should be used to avoid the incoming Larxene copies. They also may attempt to slash Sora, his only chance of avoiding damage being Reflega. Not only will the spell prevent damage, but it also will deal a great deal of damage to the boss once the barrier it casts around Sora has been penetrated. If Larxene vanishes and the screen blackens, the player must prepare for a rather deadly desperation attack. During this tactic's execution, the Larxene copies will surround Sora, slashing him before encircling and rushing at him. The true Larxene will then attack Sora from above with a downward slam and a lightning strike. Reflega is a good way to avoid this powerful combo, but should one get caught in it, immediately cast Curaga or use an item such as an Elixir or Megalixir. Larxene's Absent Silhouette will then proceed to reuse previously seen attacks until her HP starts to dwindle.


It is recommended to battle Larxene a few times to memorize her attacks. Know when to guard and use Reflect as that can hurt Larxene. After using the Other Break Reaction Command, don't attack Larxene too much while she is stunned or she will counterattack with a Thunder spell. Using Guard is still better than Reflect, as sometimes Larxene might pierce through the spell.
When Larxene's HP has been depleted to its second-to-last bar, she will charge power, surrounding herself with lightning as she usually does. However, instead of teleporting away to perform a rush attack with her body clones, Larxene will levitate, shining with lightning energy. She then will begin to spin in place as she executes her most devastating attack, one that involves her firing long columns of lightning spheres from her arms in a straight line. These spheres damage whenever touched, so the best way to avoid them is to either stay airborne or remain within the gaps between the two lightning orb columns. This attack has a strong chance of dropping Sora's HP into the Alarm Zone, and if Donald and Goofy either have no items or have been knocked out, immediately use an item on Sora or the Curaga spell. Larxene often will rush at Sora with her copies immediately after this destructive desperation attack, so be prepared to Guard or cast Reflega. From this point forward, Larxene will use all previously seen attacks (including the lightning sphere columns) until her eventual defeat.
 
In terms of things to remember during the battle with Larxene's Absent Silhouette and how to best prepare for it, it is important that the player not cast any Thunder spells during the battle, as Larxene is immune to them and will just absorb the attack. One should utilize Other Break if possible, as this will not only open the Absent Silhouette to more damage, but it also will cause her body clones to vanish for a time. Equip Sora with plenty of Elixirs and Megalixirs, and also ensure that he has the Curaga and Reflega spells in his magic shortcut menu for easy defensive and recovery use. The player should make sure Sora is of a relatively high level and that they have maxed out the levels of his Drive Forms, equipping their unique abilities so he may dodge Larxene's attacks with greater success. Sora, Donald, and Goofy should lastly be equipped with armor such as the [[Thunder Trinket]] or the [[Petit Ribbon]] and [[Highest Ribbon]] to minimize the damage caused by Larxene's lightning-based attacks. So long as one knows the correct time to be both offensive and defensive, heals when necessary, and uses special techniques such as Limits wisely, Larxene's Absent Silhouette should fall with relatively moderate ease.

Strategies

Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories

The first battle with Larxene is not too easy. So long as the player heals regularly, attacks frequently, and has the Jafar, Card Soldier, and Oogie Boogie cards in their deck, she should be defeated with moderate difficulty at most. Be sure to have a fair supply of zero cards to card break Larxene, or you may find yourself paralyzed and being brutally assaulted by Larxene against a wall. In this battle, be sure to never use any Donald cards; there is a chance that Donald will use a thunder-based spell, which will heal Larxene instead of damaging her.

The second fight is much harder. Due to her speed and high-value sleights, she can easily have Sora pinned down, quickly thrashing away at him with her electrical attacks until he is defeated. As in the previous battle with Larxene, refrain from using the Donald card or any Thunder cards, as they will heal Larxene. Also, be sure to have a strong supply of zero cards and Cure cards, to work against Larxene's deadly sleights. Larxene's new move is summoning eight large lightning orbs. Once Sora is hit by one, he will be ambushed by Larxene, and possibly the remaining lightning orbs as well. It is vital to the your success that you does not lose any high-value cards through success, or you may find yourself being attacked by one of Larxene's deadly sleights, with no way to card break your way out of it. The Riku card will prevent this card loss, however.

If the player has an ideal amount of CP, the enemy cards one should have equipped are the Jafar, Card Soldier, Oogie Boogie, Vexen, Riku, and Air Soldier. If one does not have enough CP to equip all of these enemy cards, then it is wise to fight all the enemies in earlier worlds to level up enough to get enough CP to at least equip the first four of these cards. When the battle begins, it is a good idea to equip the Card Soldier card, since Larxene will not be as dangerous as she will be later in the battle. After unleashing enough attacks with the Card Soldier's ability bonus, use the Vexen card and attack her like you would a normal enemy, using close combat combos and sleights. Since it is inevitable that Larxene will defeat the player at close combat, the Vexen card's quick rejuvenation can be a literal life-saver.

If Sora is indeed defeated by Larxene and revived by the Vexen card, use the Oogie Boogie card to refill your HP immediately. The Vexen card will leave Sora with very little HP when he is revived. During this period, the player should attempt to use long-range magic cards and sleights, to avoid being caught in any of Larxene's combos with little HP. After the Oogie Boogie card's ability is completely used, equip the Jafar card and begin to thrash at Larxene. Since this is when she begins getting fast and using high-value cards in succession, it can help you significantly. After the Jafar ability is used up, equip the Riku card and battle accordingly to Larxene's amount of remaining HP.

Since Larxene is likely down to ⅓ of her initial HP at this point, now is the best time to freely use your high-level sleights in succession, since the Riku card will prevent the loss of your sleights' first cards. After the Riku card's limit is reached, equip the Air Soldier card. Due to Larxene's constant bombardment, the Air Soldier can be used to keep the player moving whilst reloading their deck, which has likely shrunk from card loss in sleights and Premium Cards. At this point, use sleights or attacks following the short stun Larxene will receive after a card break to finish the battle.

Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix

In Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, the absence of cards completely changes Larxene's attack style. Fought as an Absent Silhouette, Sora must conquer the phantom version of this Nobody with Donald and Goofy at his side. While she now favors the new ability to replicate herself as her main form of offense, Larxene is still just as, if not more, deadly.

At the start of the battle, Larxene's Absent Silhouette will begin charging power, surrounding herself with damaging lightning. The player will then have to dodge three copies of the enemy as they rush in Sora's direction. Utilize High Jump Lv. 5, Reflega, or a well-timed Guard to avoid taking damage. When the Larxene copies have vanished, the player can then proceed to bombard Larxene with physical attacks. One should be careful if using an aerial combo, however, as several clones will rain down from the sky directly above Sora, hitting him with lightning and interrupting any combos the player was using to attack the true boss. If successfully attacks Larxene or one of her body clones, however, a Reaction Command can take place if body clones are present known as Other Break. If Other Break is activated, Sora will grab Larxene by the wrist and throw her into the air. He then will grab her body clone, also by the wrist, and spin her around, lifting her up off the floor. He lastly will hurl the the body clone at the original as she falls back down, causing them to forcibly merge, stunning Larxene for a short time. This consequently will open the boss up for more damage, but the player must remain cautious, as Larxene my come back to her senses and bombard Sora with lightning. Reflega, a chain of Dodge Rolls, or even Quick Run Lv. 5 can be used to avoid this lightning attack, as well as any Thunder spells the boss attempts to hit Sora with.

After about two bars have been depleted from Larxene's total HP, her body clones will begin to attempt a ground assault. Several will rush at Sora either in a straight line or from all directions. Guard or Reflega should be used to avoid the incoming Larxene copies. They also may attempt to slash Sora, his only chance of avoiding damage being Reflega. Not only will the spell prevent damage, but it also will deal a great deal of damage to the boss once the barrier it casts around Sora has been penetrated. If Larxene vanishes and the screen blackens, the player must prepare for a rather deadly desperation attack. During this tactic's execution, the Larxene copies will surround Sora, slashing him before encircling and rushing at him. The true Larxene will then attack Sora from above with a downward slam and a lightning strike. Reflega is a good way to avoid this powerful combo, but should one get caught in it, immediately cast Curaga or use an item such as an Elixir or Megalixir. Larxene's Absent Silhouette will then proceed to reuse previously seen attacks until her HP starts to dwindle.

When Larxene's HP has been depleted to its second-to-last bar, she will charge power, surrounding herself with lightning as she usually does. However, instead of teleporting away to perform a rush attack with her body clones, Larxene will levitate, shining with lightning energy. She then will begin to spin in place as she executes her most devastating attack, one that involves her firing long columns of lightning spheres from her arms in a straight line.

This attack has a strong chance of dropping Sora's HP into the Alarm Zone, and if Donald and Goofy either have no items or have been knocked out, immediately use an item on Sora or the Curaga spell. Larxene often will rush at Sora with her copies immediately after this destructive desperation attack, so be prepared to Guard or cast Reflega. From this point forward, Larxene will use all previously seen attacks (including the lightning sphere columns) until her eventual defeat.

In terms of things to remember during the battle with Larxene's Absent Silhouette and how to best prepare for it, it is important that the player not cast any Thunder spells during the battle, as Larxene is immune to them and will just absorb the attack. One should utilize Other Break if possible, as this will not only open the Absent Silhouette to more damage, but it also will cause her body clones to vanish for a time. Equip Sora with plenty of Elixirs and Megalixirs, and also ensure that he has the Curaga and Reflega spells in his magic shortcut menu for easy defensive and recovery use. The player should make sure Sora is of a relatively high level and that they have maxed out the levels of his Drive Forms, equipping their unique abilities so he may dodge Larxene's attacks with greater success. Sora, Donald, and Goofy should lastly be equipped with armor such as the Thunder Trinket or the Petit Ribbon and Highest Ribbon to minimize the damage caused by Larxene's lightning-based attacks. So long as one knows the correct time to be both offensive and defensive, heals when necessary, and uses special techniques such as Limits wisely, Larxene's Absent Silhouette should fall with relatively moderate ease.

Data Rematch

The battle against Larxene's Data Replica will flow quite similarly to the battle against her Absent Silhouette. The only differences will be the amount of HP the boss has and the pattern in which she uses her attacks. In short and aside from these minor differences, the battle against this Data Replica should not be difficult. All the player must do is recall the strategy used in the Absent Silhouette battle and use the Other Break Reaction Command if necessary. Sora also should be of a relatively high level, using spells such as Curaga and Reflega, as well as Drive Forms and a powerful Keyblade such as the Ultima Weapon. Defeat Larxene's Data Replica, and a Lost Illusion will be obtained.
