Lexaeus's moves consist of him hitting the ground, tilting the arena, stunning Riku and one Sleight. He also has a solid defense that prevents him from flinching when taking damage, though he does flinch after receiving a card break. Try to dodge his Rockshatter sleight by dashing behind him, then card break it. First focus on card breaking Lexaeus's cards to turn into [[Dark Mode]] and use [[sleight]]s to deal heavy damage. Use MM Miracles or the [[Oogie Boogie]] card if low on HP. Use sleights while he is charging the reload card so he can't card break Riku, unless he is low on DP, then use as many sleights as possible.

Since his power up 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. Beware of any cardbreak in the meantime, and alternatively use this tactic along with Jafar Enemy Card if in need for safety.

|After taking around 5 card breaks, Lexaeus loses his current state of the Charge status: reverts to the yellow Charge if it was red or loses all Charge if it was yellow.

|Lexaeus gathers energy and slams the ground with his axe sword. Rocks then appear from the ground around Riku. Can be difficult do avoid, and Riku can get hit multiple times.

Lexaeus has several moves in his arsenal. In one, he performs a Helm Split attack and leaps upwards and slams the ground with his Skysplitter; evade this attack using Reflect or Dodge Roll. In another, he performs Impact Quake and 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 performs Mow Down and 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 uses Mow Down, the attack has more range on higher levels. Lexaeus can also Tackle at Sora, throw him against a stone pillar, and hurl his aura-infused Skysplitter at Sora. Alternately, he can perform a Spin Throw, grab Sora, throw him skyward, and slam him to the ground while pillars of earth erupt around the arena. Both attacks can be nullified by a Reflect spell used once, and Sora can land a combo without fear of getting grabbed.

|He retaliates with this attack if he is left unharmed after interrupting his Mow Down attack. Can be performed very quickly if used as a ground counterattack.

|Can be used as a midair counterattack.

|Lexaeus throws his axe sword up, and hits the floor 3 times, each time thrusting up rocks beneath Sora's feet. Large rocks can hit 3 to 4 times.

|The rocks may not appear if Sora jumps within a narrow timing for each hit. Can be used as a ground counterattack.
