Enemies

Enemy Attack Description Blue Rhapsody Blizzard (ブリザド, Burizado) Cold air is shot forward in a parabolic arc. It forms a crystal when hitting an opponent or the ground. Blizzara (ブリザラ, Burizara) The Blue Rhapsody shoots cold air forward in a parabolic arc while spinning its hat. The crystal that appears upon hitting an opponent or the ground is larger than that of Blizzard. Wizard Blizzara (ブリザラ, Burizara)[KH CoM] Rolling Blizzara (ローリングブリザラ, Rōringu Burizara)[KH Re:CoM] Ursula Bubble Ball (バブルボール, Baburu Bōru) Vexen Shield Blow (シールドブロウ, Shīrudo Burou) Vexen swings his shield twice while moving forward, before generating a pillar of ice in front of him. The ice pillar remains for a while, even after a Card Break. Blizzara (ブリザラ, Burizara) Vexen emits cold air that flies in a parabolic curve. When the cold air hits a target or the ground, it turns into crystal.[KH CoM] Vexen fires a homing ice bullet from his right hand. Can be avoided by dodging towards Vexen the moment he fires.[KH Re:CoM] Ice Needle (アイスニードル, Aisu Nīdoru) Ice needles appear from the ground one after another, tracking the opponent.[KH CoM] Vexen protects himself with an ice barrier, while generating ice needles from the ground that follow Sora or Riku 20 times. During Sora's first battle, Vexen only uses it when he has less than 40% of his HP remaining.[KH Re:CoM] Freeze (フリーズ, Furīzu)[KH Re:CoM] Vexen generates an ice block at Sora or Riku's location. When it hits, he swings his shield to attack. The ice block can be avoided by dodging the moment Vexen raises his right hand (Riku cannot avoid it while in Dark Mode). Slide Break (スライドブレイク, Suraido Bureiku)[KH Re:CoM] Only used during Sora's second battle, when Vexen has less than 40% of his HP remaining. Vexen elongates his shield with ice, then rapidly approaches and slashes his shield twice, before swinging his shield down and releasing cold air around it. All attacks can be avoided with Dodge Roll. Diamond Dust (ダイヤモンドダスト, Daiyamondo Dasuto)[KH Re:CoM] Only used against Riku, when Vexen has less than 40% of his HP remaining. Vexen envelops the entire arena in a blizzard that hits 5 times, then sends cold air around the area. The blizzard cannot be avoided, and although it deals minor damage, it greatly drains Riku's Dark Gauge while in Dark Mode.
