So obviously you wouldn't think of using [[File:Blizzard_(card).png|30px]] [[Blizzard]], which is the first Magic card you receive (apart from [[File:Cure_(card).png|30px]] [[Cure]]) ; you'd play safe and use [[File:Kingdom Key (card).png|30px]] physical attacks.

[[File:Blizzard_(card).png|30px]] [[Blizzard]], [[File:Potion (card).png|30px]] Potion, [[File:Cure_(card).png|30px]] [[Cure]] and [[File:Kingdom Key (card).png|30px]] attack cards are a must : Blizzard because Axel uses Fire, Cure because.... well, that's self-explanatory, Potion because you might exhaust that deck of yours even before the battle is over. Do not - and I say '''DO NOT''' - stock that deck up with a single [[Premium Cards|Premium Card]] - not yet. You risk losing that card even when you use a Potion.

So after defeating Axel Sora and company think that he's dead and gone, but he materialises right in front of their eyes, saying he wouldn't have died '''''oh so easily''''' (good thinking, Axel). He offers help to Sora so that he could find what he's searching for, but Sora says he'll do it by himself. As recompense for defeating Axel you get the [[File:Fire_(card).png|30px]] [[Fire]] card. Woohoo ! Now we get to burn things !

The rooms I used were [[File:Black Room (card).png|30px]] Black Room, [[File:Meeting Ground (card).png|30px]] Meeting Ground (for the friend cards), [[File:Strong Initiative (card).png|30px]] Strong Initiative and [[File:Premium Room (card).png|30px]] Premium Room. Thus far. I also made the mistake of opening a [[File:Moogle Room (card).png|30px]] Moogle Room when in fact, I shouldn't have opened one. Because the only cards I'm ever gonna get are Fire, Blizzard, Cure, the Kingdom Key and [[File:Olympia_(card).png|30px]] Olympia... wait a second, I'm getting Olympia, and that's a card I used for a very long time, I say !

#I used a [[File:Calm Bounty (card).png|30px]] Calm Bounty in [[Traverse Town]] and voilà, look what it gave me ! A '''[[File: Hidden Dragon (card).png|30px]] [[Hidden Dragon]] card''' as a KHIIFM completion bonus ! :D The stats, however, are the same as an Olympia card, and cost more Card Points, so I won't be using this card anytime soon. Also note that once you get this in Traverse Town, you'll get this on any of the lower floors.

So you'll definitely need cards numbered 6 - 0 - which explains the power-leveling and the Moogle Room, [[File:Blue_Rhapsody_(card).png|30px]] Blue Rhapsody and [[File:Blizzard_(card).png|30px]] Blizzard because Hades is weak to Blizzard (and Blue Rhapsody increases the damage dealt by Blizzard attacks), two [[File:Cure_(card).png|30px]] Cure cards, and a [[File:Hi-Potion_(card).png|30px]] Hi-Potion card (so that you can at least reload more attack cards than usual).

I added one more card into my deck : [[File:Bouncywild_(card).png|30px]] Bouncywild. That's one card I '''ALWAYS''' have in any deck of mine. It's only 10 CP, and it brings Friend Cards and experience to your side, instead of just letting them fade away. In this case, I need the [[File:Goofy_(card).png|30px]] Goofy card, because Goofy Bash helps. A lot. '''NEVER''' use the [[File:Donald_Duck_(card).png|30px]] Donald card for this battle because for all you know, he might accidentally cast Fire on Hades and cause him to recover. Worse if you're using the sleight Magic LV2 or Magic LV3.

The [[File:Pluto_(card).png|30px]] Pluto card appears from time to time, particularly when you're fresh out of cards. But grab him quick - preferably when the card comes out of Hades ! Because when you grab a friend card instantly it'll be numbered 9, and you'll be able to break Hades' normal card attacks just to get more cards onto your side. If you fail to get a number 9, at least try for a 0 - that's better. If you get any other number than that, then tough luck, I say...

Winning this battle will give you [[File:Hades_(card).png|30px]] the Hades enemy card.

So right after that we get the [[File:Key of Beginnings (card).png|30px]] Key of Beginnings. I was pretty lazy through this level - I took out all the Heartless in the Unknown Room, then used three [[File:Calm Bounty (card).png|30px]] Calm Bounties (one of which gave me the [[File:Stop_(card).png|30px]] Stop card, yay !), then entered into a [[File:Moogle Room (card).png|30px]] Moogle Room because I had some 300-odd MP to spare. And so the bulk of the cards which I obtained were [[File:Olympia_(card).png|30px]] Olympia cards. Especially Premiums, this time. I needed some. I virtually didn't do any attacking, so I stayed in the same level as I was when I exited Olympus Coliseum : Level 18.

Once the credits have scrolled, SAVE THE GAME ! Clear data can give you extra bonuses, particularly [[File:Diamond Dust (card).png|30px]] Diamond Dust, [[File: One-Winged Angel (card).png|30px]] One-Winged Angel and [[File:Ultima Weapon (card).png|30px]] Ultima (upon completing both Sora's Story ''and'' Reverse/Rebirth). Make sure the gold card sign appears on your save file - it's a sign you have clear data.

*There is a possibility of obtaining [[File:One-Winged_Angel_(card).png|30px]] [[One-Winged Angel]] and [[File:Diamond_Dust_(card).png|30px]] [[Diamond Dust]] in [[File:Moogle Room (card).png|30px]] Moogle Rooms. '''Not''' Calm Bounties, don't get me wrong. It's either because you have Final Mix save data or Reverse/Rebirth save data. But for me, I'm only halfway through R/R so I'm basing it on the fact that I have already completed KHIIFM up to 95%.

*Go to [[Agrabah]]. Seriously. Using [[File:Aladdin_(card).png|30px]] Aladdin's '''Sandstorm''' attack will enable you to get 12MP per hit. Better still if you're using more than one card. A successful run through Agrabah (which means that you use Sandstorm everytime you get the chance) means that you can land up to 4000 Moogle Points. Or more, if you're a hardcore gamer.

*Go to [[Neverland]] ; there's a possibility that using [[File:Peter_Pan_(card).png|30px]] the Peter Pan friend card might help you gain some more Moogle Points.

*Do not slip on the bananas left by [[Bouncywild]] Heartless. They make you lose your MP. Unless you have a [[File:Bouncywild_(card).png|30px]] Bouncywild card equipped ; it won't make any difference whether you fall or not because you're bound to get your MP back.

This strategy is best used if you have managed to get a substantial amount of attack cards, [[File:Stop_(card).png|30px]] [[Stop]], [[File:Thunder_(card).png|30px]] [[Thunder]], [[File:Fire_(card).png|30px]] [[Fire]],  

[[File:Blizzard_(card).png|30px]] [[Blizzard]] and [[File:Cure_(card).png|30px]] [[Cure]].

And for me, no deck is complete without a [[File:Bouncywild_(card).png|30px]] Bouncywild card. As I said earlier, it's only 10 CP, I can get it early in the game, it draws EXP and Friend Cards together, and once I've leveled up enough to obtain [[Trinity Limit]], I can practically finish off an entire horde of Heartless within five seconds by simply drawing Donald's and Goofy's cards together.

As I suggested on the [[Trickmaster]] strategy page, this boss is a really pesky one. The Trickmaster has the added advantage of having his batons lighted automatically when the battle begins, and because you don't have Blizzard, they're gonna remain lighted throughout the battle. And you have the added disadvantage of only having cards numbered 1-5... <small>screw you !</small> If you're lucky to get an occasional card numbered 6 - 0, it'll be in the form of a [[File:The_King_(card).png|30px]] King Mickey friend card.
