Game:Lexaeus: Difference between revisions

  |ReCOMstun=△

In ''Re:Chain of Memories'', most of Lexaeus's attacks are similar. He repeatedly strikes the ground and jagged rocks shoot up, attempting to impale Riku. A new attack is when Lexaeus starts to emit a yellow aura, during which his strength is temporarily increased, as well as his defense to which he doesn't flinch when taking damage. Using Dark Aura there can deal even more damage. He can do this a second time while it is already in effect, emitting a red aura, gaining another boost and becomes temporarily invulnerable to all attacks except card duel sleights. These buffs also allow him to use stronger sleights.

Since his power up in ''Re:Chain of Memories'' can be fatal if allowed to go through, a good approach to the battle is to prevent him from being able to power up, but beware that all of his magic cards are valued 9, and thus Riku will have to use his 0s or 9s or stack cards to break them. The player should use Sleights, preferably through the lower valued cards (although it is still recommended to leave a few). Through this method, Lexaeus not only will be prevented from powering up but also from attacking, while accumulating DP quick. Once the player enters Dark Mode, the player should assault Lexaeus with Sleights, such as Dark Aura or Dark Break (hence why to leave a few low valued cards, otherwise a 0-7-7 combo can also work). These, in conjunction with the Maleficent Card, will deal a large amount of damage quick all the while stunning Lexaeus, thus greatly simplifying the battle. In order to optimize the damage dealt by Dark Aura, Riku may wait until Lexaeus charges to his yellow aura to then perform Dark Aura, preferably on a Rapid Break, so that Lexaeus won't stagger while taking all hits, for the reason that when Lexaeus isn't under the Charge status, Dark Aura knocks him back after each strike and can cause him to accidentally avoid one strike or two.

|Used at close range. Lexaeus swings his axe sword down. If it hits, he performs a second strike. After using Charge once, the second hit will create a shock wave. After using Charge twice, the shock wave will cover the entire arena.

|After taking repeated card breaks, Lexaeus loses his current state of the Charge status: reverts to the yellow aura if it was red or reverts to normal if the aura was yellow.

Lexaeus has several moves in his arsenal. In one, he leaps upwards and slams the ground with his Skysplitter; evade this attack using Reflect or Dodge Roll. In another, he hurls the Skysplitter up into the air and punches the ground twice before the Skysplitter lands back down in his grasp, of which it is then slammed into the ground on the third attack, each time causing rocks to erupt from the ground. The finisher is the most powerful of the three, but comes with an exploitable delay, allowing Sora to predict when to Dodge Roll. In the third attack, Lexaeus drags the Skysplitter on the ground to strike Sora. Blocking this attack with Guard or Reflect creates the opportunity to use the Mega-Impact Reaction command. When this command is used, Sora temporarily increases his power level by Lexaeus's current power level and strikes Lexaeus, stripping him of his aura and stunning him; the stronger the power level, the longer Lexaeus stays stunned. After the Reaction Command is complete, Sora loses the power bonus.

Lexaeus steadily boosts his power level as his health dwindles. When increasing his power, he gains a red aura and pushes the party back. At higher power, Lexaeus's attacks gain further properties. For instance, when he drags the Skysplitter on the ground to strike Sora, the attack has more range on higher levels. Lexaeus can also charge at Sora, throw him against a stone pillar, and hurl his aura-infused Skysplitter at Sora. Alternately, he can grab Sora, throw him skyward, and slam him to the ground while pillars of earth erupt around the arena.

Lexaeus's ultimate attack involves him flying outside the arena for a number of seconds, before charging back into the arena. He finishes his attack by causing rocks to erupt over the entire arena. Sora should guard the charge and cast Reflect; alternately, High Jump and Glide around the arena.

|He retaliates with this attack if he rallies from his stun due to Mega Impact.

|The rocks may not appear if Sora jumps within a narrow timing for each hit.
