Xion periodically fires at Roxas using Sora's [[Ragnarok]]. She floats into the air and charges energy, then fires a salvo of projectiles which home in on Roxas. Avoid this attack by [[Glide|Gliding]], or by running, as long as a level 2 [[Haste]] is equipped. (It is useful to note that Ragnarok is a Nil-based attack. If Ragnarok's high damage output proves troublesome, equipping a ring with Nil-elemental resistance can aid immensely. If [[Nothing to Fear]] is equipped, Ragnarok deals zero damage, though it still causes Roxas to stagger.) | Xion periodically fires at Roxas using Sora's [[Ragnarok]].

If Xion begins to charge up Ragnarok again, land one or two combos while she is charging, then immediately Glide or run away. Repeat until Xion begins another attack. | ||

A more dangerous combo attack involves Xion slashing downwards twice, followed by a jumping slash attack and a downward strike, and finishing with a jumping spinning slash. Avoid this attack by Gliding, Air Sliding, and Dodge Rolling. | A more dangerous combo attack involves Xion slashing downwards twice, followed by a jumping upward slash attack and a downward strike, and finishing with a jumping spinning slash.

When her HP is low, Xion gains access to two powerful attacks, each creating a vortex in the middle of the battlefield. Which one she uses is dependent on the attack she uses before the vortex appears on the ground. If she shoots the blasts of light before the vortex appears, she puts her Keyblades together, firing a blast of light in the air which causes pillars of light to rain down randomly across the battlefield (an attack based on dual-wielding Roxas's limit break: [[Magic Hour]]). Avoid this attack by Gliding, staying as close to Xion as possible, where the attacks are less likely to hit. | When her HP is low, Xion gains access to two powerful attacks, each creating a vortex in the middle of the battlefield.

If Xion creates the orb of darkness before the vortex appears, she will use Trinity Limit, creating a massive circular pillar of light which engulfs most of the battlefield. Dodge by Gliding up to the corners farthest to the east or west of Xion. (Like Ragnarok, Trinity Limit is a Nil-based attack. Nil-elemental resistance can be equipped to mitigate or prevent damage from this attack.) | If Xion creates the orb of darkness before the vortex appears, she will use Trinity Limit, creating a massive circular pillar of light which engulfs most of the battlefield.

Roxas can | Using Block, Roxas can deflect every attack in Xion's arsenal, with the exception of her desperation attacks. Glide is essential to dodging these attacks, due to the vortex which draws Roxas into the center of each attack. Fortunately, Xion's attacks in this stage have a significant delay before each attack; watching for visual cues preceding each attack simplifies this fight greatly. Attack magic is largely ineffective, but Limits can be used to deal massive damage. | ||
