The High Roller's Secret is a deck of Cards that can be wielded by Luxord in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. It represents Luxord's personality.

Design

A "card" from the High Roller's Secret deck is shaped like a four-leaf clover. It has the four distinctive, heart-shaped leaves of a clover and is colored in shades of light green. According to the Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days Ultimania, it was originally planned to be a ten-dollar bill.[citation needed]

High Roller's Secret is one of only four of Luxord's weapons whose name is not drawn from one of twenty-two cards that make up a Tarot deck's Major Arcana. The others are The Joker, Fair Game, and Finest Fantasy 13. Instead, its name is drawn from the superstition that four-leaf clovers are blessed with good luck.

The High Roller's Secret represents Luxord's reliance on luck and chance to assure victory.

Gameplay

High Roller's Secret's normal ground combo starts with two narrow sprays of "cards" forwards and ends with an upward spiral of "cards". The Y-Combo can be activated after the second attack, and consists of Luxord performing a spinning leap, surrounded in an upward spiral of "cards", followed by riding a larger version of one the "cards" like a surfboard while performing a forward 360° spinning attack with larger versions of the "cards" held in each hand.
