Game:Lexaeus

Strategies

Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories

Lexaeus's moves consist of him hitting the ground and causing earthquakes and Sleights. Try to dodge his sleight, which can hit you multiple times. Riku should first focus on card breaking his cards to turn into Dark Mode and use his sleights to deal heavy damage. Use MM Miracles or an 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 just use as many sleights as possible.

In Re:Chain of Memories, most of Lexaeus's attacks are similar. He repeatedly strikes the ground and jagged rocks shoot up, attempting to impale Riku. A new attack is when the earth-using fiend starts to glow yellow. His strength and speed are temporarily increased, he can do this twice.

His first card is usually an eight, as is Riku's, so he has an immediate opportunity for a card duel. Use all the card duel opportunities as possible, as they do a lot of damage (1 and a half bars). Focus on breaking his cards and then go in for the combos, because he will smash Riku with his axe sword if he get too close. After the first Card-Break or combo, Lexaeus will use his Enemy Card, so one can use Parasite Cage to negate the effect. If one wants to focus on attacking him, Riku will have to side step every time Lexaeus attacks, or he will stun Riku if caught. Use Dodge Roll to pick up Mickey cards. Use the Enemy Cards Maleficent (to power up cards) and Oogie Boogie (if low on HP). Another option is to wait for his attacks and try to card duel him; after the card duel, recharge the deck and repeat.

Absent Silhouette

Lexaeus has a "Power Level" at the top of the screen, which will increase as the battle rages on. The higher the number, the more damage he will deal. Also, some of his attack properties change. For example, the attack while he drags his weapon to hit Sora will gain more range the higher the power level. His max number is 99999. At this level, try and avoid being hit at all costs.

When the battle begins, he will raise his "Power Level" to 6100 immediately. He uses a few moves: first, he will jump up towards Sora with his weapon above his head and summons his rocks, which can be avoided by guarding or dodge rolling. Lexaeus will also throw his Skysplitter up, and a large stock of rocks will appear and damage Sora. He does this three times. The third time, it will come a little later, so be prepared. He will also drag his weapon on the ground and hit Sora. Get close to him and guard when he does that, then a Reaction Command, Mega-Impact appears. This will add his power level to Sora's for an instant and Sora can then deal damage and stun him. His most dangerous attack is when he flies away and charges up beyond the arena and after a few seconds, dives straight at Sora, causing rocks to fly up all over the arena.

Sleights and Attacks

Attack	Description	Card
Combo Attack (連撃, Rengeki^?)	Lexaeus smashes Riku twice with his Axe Sword. If hit with the second strike, Riku will become stunned briefly. When Lexaeus is powered up, he will generate a more massive quake.
Tomahawk Shot (トマホークショット^?)	Lexaeus hurls his Axe Sword at Riku. In Chain of Memories, Lexaeus throws his Axe Sword in the air which falls and bounces on the field chasing Riku.
Charge (チャージ^?)	Lexaeus temporarily powers up his attacks and sleights while clad in a yellow aura. Using it a second time increases his aura to red, and further uses make him temporarily invulnerable. However, this card can do the same thing as the Attack Card B. In Chain of Memories, Lexaeus strikes the ground causing it to tilt.

Sleight	Description	Requirements
Impact Quake (インパクトクエイク^?)^{[KH Re:CoM]}	Lexaeus slams the Axe Sword into the ground causing two rock pillars at a time to jut up from out of the ground in apparently random places on the field, though they actually follow Riku, and inflict significant damage. This sleight can be used at all times.	+ +
Rockshatter (ロックブレイク^?, lit. "Rockbreak")	Lexaeus juts rocks out of the ground around him and uses his Axe Sword to shatter them allowing him to damage Riku no matter where he is. In Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, the rocks bounces through the battle field. In Re:Chain of Memories, this sleight can only be used after powering up at least once.	+ + ^{[KH CoM]} + + ^{[KH Re:CoM]}
Ground Impact (グランドインパクト^?)^{[KH Re:CoM]}	Lexaeus sacrifices all of his stored power to slam his Axe Sword into the ground and release the energy in one immense attack that can damage not only Riku but the battlefield as well. This sleight can only be used after powering up at least twice.	+ +
