-The first battle with Larxene is not too easy. So long as the player heals regularly, attacks frequently, and has the [[Jafar (Genie)|Jafar]], [[Queen of Hearts (Boss)|Card Soldier]], and [[Oogie Boogie (Boss)|Oogie Boogie]] cards in their deck, she should be defeated with moderate difficulty at most. Be sure to have a fair supply of zero cards to card break Larxene, or you may find yourself paralyzed and being brutally assaulted by Larxene against a wall. In this battle, be sure to never use any [[Donald Duck|Donald]] cards; there is a chance that Donald will use a thunder-based spell, which will heal Larxene instead of damaging her.
+====First Battle====
+For the first battle against Larxene, the player should make sure they have a relatively even amount of HP and CP. This should be done to make sure that Sora will not only have a decent amount of cards in his deck, thus shortening the time spent reloading and worrying about an eventual lack of cards, but also that he will not be defeated by Larxene's first few attacks. So long as one knows when to heal and takes the necessary precautions, they will defeat Larxene with only moderate difficulty.
-The second fight is much harder. Due to her speed and high-value sleights, she can easily have [[Sora]] pinned down, quickly thrashing away at him with her electrical attacks until he is defeated. As in the previous battle with Larxene, refrain from using the Donald card or any [[Thunder]] cards, as they will heal Larxene. Also, be sure to have a strong supply of zero cards and [[Cure]] cards, to work against Larxene's deadly sleights. Larxene's new move is summoning eight large lightning orbs. Once Sora is hit by one, he will be ambushed by Larxene, and possibly the remaining lightning orbs as well. It is vital to the your success that you does not lose any high-value cards through success, or you may find yourself being attacked by one of Larxene's deadly sleights, with no way to [[card break]] your way out of it. The Riku card will prevent this card loss, however.
+At the start of the battle, the player can begin to attack Larxene with Sleights and either Magic or Attack Cards. Two HP bars must be depleted, so be wise when carrying out these attacks, especially when Sora's cards are being used in Sleights. Larxene will mainly use cards of a relatively low value, so her slashing attacks can be easily Card Broken. They will hit multiple times if they are not stopped, however, Sora needing to use a Donald card (in the hopes that he uses Cure or one of its upgrades) or a Cure card to heal himself immediately afterwards. Larxene may also use an Attack Card to throw her Foudre Knives at Sora, but this tactic can be avoided by simply running out of the way. Larxene's Magic Cards cause her to cast a Thundaga spell at Sora, something easily avoided through Dodge Roll or a Card Break. Larxene will only use one Sleight to counter the many that Sora can know at this point, Lightning Bolt, which causes her to shoot lightning from the tips of her Foudre at Sora, drawing him closer to her and stunning him for a time, thus opening him to attack. When Larxene's HP dwindles, her Magic Card will change so that she can bombard Sora with slashes and then a Thunder spell, something best avoided through a Card Break.
-If the player has an ideal amount of CP, the enemy cards one should have equipped are the Jafar, Card Soldier, Oogie Boogie, [[Vexen (Boss)|Vexen]], [[Riku Replica (Boss)|Riku]], and [[Air Soldier]]. If one does not have enough CP to equip all of these enemy cards, then it is wise to fight all the enemies in earlier worlds to level up enough to get enough CP to at least equip the first four of these cards. When the battle begins, it is a good idea to equip the Card Soldier card, since Larxene will not be as dangerous as she will be later in the battle. After unleashing enough attacks with the Card Soldier's ability bonus, use the Vexen card and attack her like you would a normal enemy, using close combat combos and sleights. Since it is inevitable that Larxene will defeat the player at close combat, the Vexen card's quick rejuvenation can be a literal life-saver.
+While the battle with Larxene will be tedious, Enemy Cards such as Oogie Boogie and Jafar can certainly make the battle a lot easier. Make full use of the special bonuses these Enemy Cards grant. Through an even usage of offense and defense, Larxene will fall in due time.
+====Second Battle====
+Larxene takes a final stand against Sora, her HP now at three bars. This not only means the battle will be a lot longer, but that Larxene will be much more powerful. Donald and Goofy return to aid Sora during the battle, meaning Friend Cards can be used again. Sora's arsenal of Sleights will most likely have expanded, so be sure to use them. Enemy Cards like Jafar, Captain Hook, Maleficent, and Oogie Boogie will also be useful, and before the player activates the cutscene that leads to the battle by talking to a defeated Riku Replica, be sure to head back to the Destiny Islands and save the game. This will restore Sora's HP and give the player the ability to restart the rematch with Larxene from after the very difficult battle with the Riku Replica rather than before it. Donald will restore Sora's HP before the second Larxene battle, regardless of whether the player chose to save or not.
-If Sora is indeed defeated by Larxene and revived by the Vexen card, use the Oogie Boogie card to refill your HP immediately. The Vexen card will leave Sora with very little HP when he is revived. During this period, the player should attempt to use long-range magic cards and sleights, to avoid being caught in any of Larxene's combos with little HP. After the Oogie Boogie card's ability is completely used, equip the Jafar card and begin to thrash at Larxene. Since this is when she begins getting fast and using high-value cards in succession, it can help you significantly. After the Jafar ability is used up, equip the Riku card and battle accordingly to Larxene's amount of remaining HP.
+In this rematch, Larxene's attacks will be the same as those used in the first battle. She only has access to one new Sleight, Teleport Rush, a deadly attack comprised of multiple slash attacks. This can easily deplete Sora's HP to zero or at least the Alarm Zone if one is not careful, so be sure to Card Break this Sleight once Larxene activates it. Use offensive attacks and defense abilities such as Curaga evenly, and Larxene will fall with relative ease.
-Since Larxene is likely down to ⅓ of her initial HP at this point, now is the best time to freely use your high-level sleights in succession, since the Riku card will prevent the loss of your sleights' first cards. After the Riku card's limit is reached, equip the Air Soldier card. Due to Larxene's constant bombardment, the Air Soldier can be used to keep the player moving whilst reloading their deck, which has likely shrunk from card loss in [[sleights]] and [[Premium Cards]]. At this point, use sleights or attacks following the short stun Larxene will receive after a card break to finish the battle.
