Roxas is a boss in Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix at The World That Never Was.

Strategies

Dark City

The battle will always start out with Sora within his attack range. Just as the battle commences, Roxas will immediately use "Whirlwind Swing" where he twirls his Keyblades in a wide cross-circle. You can tell when he is about to use it by hearing him yell "Hup!" and hear the "ting" of his keyblades surging with power from the attack. Inexperienced or unready players may be hit with this. Players can either move closer and Cast Reflect to damage Roxas, Jump out of the way, or Dodge Roll.

Roxas will counter Sora's second finisher attack with his "Instant Landing", you can either stop the combo at the first finisher or use the second finisher then quickly cast Reflect.

Roxas will often use "Aerial Rotation Swing" (Which looks similar to Sora's Aerial Finish but much more aggressive) which closes in on Sora very quickly from any distance by jumping in the air and rolling mid-air before landing on the ground quickly, hurting Sora if the player does not block the attack.

Roxas can use Sora's Quick Run but at a much higher speed. Using Light energy he leaves behind a lens flare to immediately use "Whirlwind Swing" or "Continuous Swing".

After 25%% of his health went down, he gets even more aggressive.

He gains a new attack, "Keyblade Throw", in which he will use "Weapons" to send Sora flying. He then uses "Dark Power" by teleporting 2 times, throwing his Keyblades at Sora before using "Dark Power Finisher" in which he performs a flurry of slashes before sending out sphere of energy around himself which will draw Sora in if nearby.

At this point, Roxas stops using "Duel Attack", and will start using "Spot Beam" which are laser pillars with the Nobody Symbol on top of it that accompanies his "Continuous Swing" combo at Sora. After he sends out about 8-9 beams he will dash forward and send out the last behind him as to hit anyone who might have moved behind him.

He will also use an enhanced version of "Aerial Rotation Swing", accompanied by "Arranged Beam" (which is similar to "Spot Beam" but is lined up to make a wall of beams) where he as usual leaps and closes in on Sora, but at the same time summons beams of Light to Maximize his attack range, Making it even harder on Sora to dodge this one without the use of guard or Reflect magic.

Roxas may start "Duel Attack" which is a variation of Roxas's Samurai Nobodies's "Dual Stance". If Sora wins the duel, instead of hurting Roxas, Sora will knock him away and "steals" Roxas's Keyblades temporarily. Roxas, not willing to give up a fight without his weapons, will start using his "Spot Beam" attack to counter his loss. He will also use "Instant Recapture Attack" where he surrounds Sora with his beams of light and attempts to regain his Keyblade. Sora can use "Reversal" reaction command to avoid getting hurt, otherwise Roxas will use "Weapons" to knock Sora away.

After he has 40% HP left, Roxas will use his Limit Break, "Magic Hour". He summons light beams as a sort of shield and rises into the air glowing with energy and sends out even more energy to the background revealing the area where Sora unlocks Keyholes to other worlds. When he shouts "come on!", he summons pairs of Light Orbs as he twirls both of his Keyblades to send out homing energy projectiles at Sora. The best way to dodge this one is to keep on moving to one side of the field, dashing, gliding, or rolling whichever is more preferable.

Roxas will also use an enhanced version of "Whirlwind Swing", in which he summons his light beams around him as he charges the attack, and sends the beams flying to all directions as he released the attack. The attack can still be avoided or reflected using Reflect magic.

An enhanced version of "Keyblade Throw" might also be used, he will use "Dark Power" 5 times this time before using the "Dark Power Finisher".

Note: As he takes damage, Roxas will leave but a second for Sora to react to his attacks. Key timing and planning is best to memorize for this battle.

Data Rematch

In the data rematch, use Dodge Roll, Reflect, Guard and melee attacks to your full ability - Roxas has a greater tendency of using his light shields. His health has also greatly increased, making the fight more dangerous. The best strategy is to use the Duel Stance Reaction Command whenever possible and steal his Keyblades. Once you have them, hit Roxas with everything you got! But so long as the player heals periodically, Roxas will fall with ease.
