His special attack involves him floating in the air and shooting his thirteen light shields around the arena, which then light it up in a thick twilight mist as Roxas begins shooting blue spheres of light at his opponent from energy gathered in his hands. He often attacks rapidly side-to-side, leaving a trail of light behind him. He can also perform the Duel Bout technique (similar to his Samurai Nobodies) in which he rushes at his opponent and slashes at them repeatedly, causing intense damage if not repelled. During this attack, Sora can knock Roxas into the air and briefly steal his Keyblades. However, when Sora steals Roxas's Keyblades, Roxas resorts to utilizing his light powers to full effect, before moving in to steal his Keyblades back from Sora. | His special attack involves him floating in the air and shooting his thirteen light shields around the arena, which then light it up in a thick twilight mist as Roxas begins shooting blue spheres of light at his opponent from energy gathered in his hands.

In their mental struggle in the [[Dive to the Heart]], he briefly manages to overpower and disarm Sora with simple brute force. In this battle, he also has a more aggressive stance than he did when fighting Axel. | ||
It is interesting to note that as well, when not dual-wielding, Roxas uses a fighting style similar to the one Sora used in ''Kingdom Hearts''. Roxas's victory pose in Olympus Coliseum is to swing his Keyblade twice through the air in an X, then swing it to rest on his shoulder. This is extremely similar to [[Leon]]'s victory pose in the ''Final Fantasy'' series | It is interesting to note that as well, when not dual-wielding, Roxas uses a fighting style similar to the one Sora used in ''Kingdom Hearts''.

It's worth noting Roxas has overpowered Saix on two | It's worth noting Roxas has overpowered Saix on two separate occasions. The first time in ''358/2 Days'' before Roxas could [[Dual Wield]], and the second in '' Kingdom Hearts III'', where Roxas (dual wielding) does the most damage to Saix compared to Sora and Xion; Saix had previously overpowered Sora, Kairi, and Lea. | ||

Roxas could also be customized in this gameplay incarnation to a lesser degree than in ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', his Strength, Magic, or Defense raising very slightly depending on which Struggle weapon the player chooses in the first battle with Seifer. He would also grow in HP and other stats for meeting certain criteria in jobs or by defeating bosses. The main reason for playing as the Nobody in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' was to establish a plot and set the abilities and controls for the actual storyline, in which Sora is playable. | Roxas could also be customized in this gameplay incarnation to a lesser degree than in ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', his Strength, Magic, or Defense raising very slightly depending on which Struggle weapon the player chooses in the first battle with Seifer.
