====Data Rematch====
Master Xehanort's data is a recreation of his final boss battle. He retains most of his attacks from the final battle, but this time he can [[Formchange]] the χ-blade into a myriad of weapons, such as a double blade that reduces Sora's maximum HP, a pair of chakrams that stun Sora on impact, a whip that has very long range, spinning bombs that can freeze Sora, spikes that shoot lasers from the sky, and massive aerial cannons that fire large beams. He often combines the Formchanges with his old attacks.
Master Xehanort's data is a recreation of his final boss battle. He retains most of his attacks from the final battle, but this time he can [[Formchange]] the χ-blade into a myriad of weapons, such as: a double blade that reduces Sora's maximum HP, a pair of chakrams that stun Sora on impact, a whip that has very long range, spinning bombs that can freeze Sora if they explode, spikes that shoot gold lasers from the sky, and massive aerial cannons that fire large red beams. He often combines the Formchanges with his old attacks.


Many of his slashes now unleash spinning bombs that can be guarded at first but will explode, freezing Sora and as such must be dodged or blocked and dodged. Xehanort also uses great use of spikes that fire multiple beams of light that will fire exactly where Sora is at and as such, must be dodged right before they hit. Xehanort will also make use of giant cannons he manifests in the air that also track Sora before firing. Dodge the moment the cannons finish charging.

The first opening for when he can be attacked is when he throws the χ-blade at Sora. Close the distance and block the χ-blade so it doesn't chill Sora and Xehanort will be staggered and open for a combo. Another opening for when he can be comboed is whenever he throws a spinning bomb at Sora at a farther distance after a long string of throwing them. While using ascension, Xehanort fires the spinning bombs closer to Sora and while outside ascension, Xehanort fires spinning bombs further. Close the distance by airstepping towards him or strike him with magic. The next opening is when he performs a simple slash with the χ-blade, followed by an uppercut, counter and attack him right after the uppercut. The third opening is when he attempts to strike Sora with the spike lasers and close in for an uppercut simultaneously. Either block the uppercut and immediately use a counter for an invincibility frame and a chance to combo him or dodge roll through Xehanort and the lasers and then combo him. Another opening is when Xehanort manifests four cannons consecutively to fire at Sora, which he will use after using Call Calamity, whether Sora is able to interrupt the move or not. Xehanort will teleport to the center of the area after the second cannon fires. Dodge the next two cannon blasts and immediately combo him.
Xehanort always starts the battle with these two attacks:
* Meteors and lasers: Xehanort fires 2 purple meteors, a third meteor that coincides with unblockable gold lasers, 4 more meteors, and finally a wave of gold lasers. The meteors can be blocked, however the gold lasers cannot. Block the first 2 meteors, dodge the third meteor and the gold lasers simultaneously, block the next 4 meteors, and dodge the wave of gold lasers.
* χ-blade throw into Grand Magic: Xehanort appears and throws the χ-blade at Sora, casting Blizzaza and freezing him if it connects or hits the ground. Xehanort follows up with Firaza, Thundaza combined with gold lasers, and another Thundaza with gold lasers. The magic and lasers are unblockable, however the thrown χ-blade is blockable if Sora is somewhat close to Xehanort when it's thrown - so when Xehanort appears, run towards him as he winds up the throw for this chance. Blocking the χ-blade reflects it back at Xehanort, cancels the entire magic sequence, and leaves Xehanort open to attack.
** Outside of the initial sequence, this attack can be anticipated if Xehanort disappears for longer than usual. If that happens, have Sora run towards the edge of the Arena, and Xehanort should appear close enough that Sora can block the χ-blade.


In his second phase, an opening to combo him is when he manifests two cannons instead of spikes while closing the distance with Sora. Dodge the cannon fire and the spinning bomb he throws simultaneously and the following double blade slash and combo him. Another opening is when he combos with a Formchange whip. Block or dodge the whip and the following chakram slash, dodge the double blade slash, dodge another double blade slash, dodge or block two chakram slashes, dodge one last double blade slash, then immediately combo him.
Xehanort then calls upon Kingdom Hearts to flood the arena with a golden light, and pillars of light start to orbit out from the center of the arena. After a moment, Xehanort sends a shockwave towards Sora, followed by a spinning bomb, a set of 2 spinning bombs, and another single spinning bomb. Dodge the shockwave, and block-then-dodge-away from the bombs, as the bombs will explode unless Sora gets away from them quickly. Airstep to Xehanort as he throws the second single bomb for a chance to attack. After Xehanort has received some damage, the golden light on the arena will fade away.
 
For the remainder of Xehanort's first phase, he may use any of the above attacks, or any of the following additional attacks:
* Laser combo: 2 waves of gold lasers will appear, followed by a third wave that also has a red laser. Dodge all three.
* Physical combo 1: Xehanort rushes in for a downward physical strike with the χ-blade, then an uppercut, and finally a downward strike. All 3 strikes can be blocked, and reprisaling as Xehanort finishes the uppercut grants a chance to attack. Alternatively, the uppercut can be dodged, and Sora can strike Xehanort as he finishes it.
* Physical combo 2: Xehanort rushes in, but does the uppercut first. Block-then-reprisal it, or dodge-then-strike for a chance to attack.
* Bombs combo: Xehanort throws 6 spinning bombs, one at a time. Dodge each, then airstep to him as he throws the 6th bomb for a chance to attack.
* Bombs into lasers: Xehanort throws one bomb, followed by rushing in for an uppercut physical strike at the same time as gold lasers spawn. Dodge the bomb, then block the uppercut and immediately reprisal for a chance to attack. The invulnerability granted by the reprisal will protect Sora from the gold lasers. Alternatively, dodge the lasers and the uppercut, then strike Xehanort for an opening.
* Red laser combo: Xehanort fires 4 red lasers, one by one, and re-appears in the center of the arena after the second fires. Dodge the first three red lasers, then airstep to Xehanort as the 4th fires for a chance to attack. If Sora airsteps too early and the 4th red laser has not fired yet, strike Xehanort to catch him off-guard, air slide to avoid the 4th red laser, and then airstep back to Xehanort to continue the combo.
 
At about 7 bars of HP remaining, Xehanort will perform his ultimate attack, summoning a large red emblem and darkening the arena. Various gold and red lasers as well as shadow Xehanorts will attack Sora. Xehanort himself cannot be attacked during this sequence, so focus on surviving.
* First combo: Gold lasers, then 4 shadow strikes. Dodge the lasers, then block the shadow strikes.
* Second combo: Gold lasers, 4 shadow strikes, and a shadow wielding the χ-blade will transform it into chakrams, followed by a double-bladed weapon. Note that the chakram strike is blockable (but if it hits, Sora will be stunned), while the double-blade strike is unblockable (plus it will reduce Sora's max HP if it hits).
* Third combo: Gold lasers, 4 shadow strikes, double-bladed χ-blade, chakrams.
* Fourth combo: 4 shadow strikes, red laser.
* Fifth combo: 4 shadow strikes, 2 spinning bombs.
* Sixth combo: Gold lasers, red laser, 4 shadow strikes.
* Seventh combo: Gold lasers simultaneous with a shadow strike, 4 shadow strikes, double-bladed χ-blade. Jump then dodge the gold lasers, then block the shadow strikes mid-air, and dodge the double-blade strike.
 
After Xehanort's ultimate attack concludes, he is in his second phase, and adds the following attacks to his arsenal:
* Red laser + bomb + double-blade: Xehanort fires a red laser, followed closely by a bomb, and then a double-blade strike. Dodge each of the three, then strike Xehanort right after the double-blade finishes for a chance to attack.
* χ-blade transformation combo 1: Xehanort attacks with a whip, then chakrams, double-blade twice, chakrams twice, and finally double-blade. The whip and chakrams can be blocked, however the double-blade still cannot be blocked. Strike Xehanort after dodging the last double-blade for a chance to attack.
* χ-blade transformation combo 2: Chakrams twice, whip, chakrams, double-blade. Strike after dodging the double-blade for a chance to attack.
