Throughout this battle, Saïx's attack pattern is determined by a "Berserk Gauge" in the top-left corner of the screen. When the battle begins, the gauge will be full and Saïx will rise into the air and enter his "Berserk" state. The gauge will begin slowly emptying and once empty, he will revert to a calmer attack pattern, wherein the gauge begins filling again. Note that the burst of light that emanates from Saïx's body when he enters his berserk state can damage Sora. | Throughout this battle, Saïx's attack pattern is determined by a "Berserk Gauge" in the top-left corner of the screen.

While in Berserk mode, Saïx attacks very quickly with powerful attacks, slamming his claymore into the ground to unleash large shockwaves of energy. He also throws his claymores at Sora, unleashing streams of energy when they impact. While in this state, Saïx's attacks have a large range and high power. In addition, he is invulnerable to normal attacks and extremely resistant to magic attacks. However, Sora can pick up his thrown claymores with the [[Reaction Command]] "Berserk", then use the Command "Eclipse" to slam Saïx into the air and finally "Magna Storm" to attack him rapidly. If "Magna Storm" connects with Saïx, his Berserk gauge immediately empties and he reverts to his "normal" state. | While in Berserk mode, Saïx attacks very quickly with powerful attacks, slamming his claymore into the ground to unleash large shockwaves of energy.

While in this state, he walks slowly and attacks with slow, but powerful combos. At this time he is more vulnerable to damage, but he can still defend himself, so it's best to use [[Guard]] when he attacks or deflect his attack with one of Sora's own, to make him drop his claymore. This will cause him to cease attacking for a while, as well as give Sora the opportunity to use Reaction Commands and attack with the dropped claymore for massive damage. At times, Saïx will stand still and raise his arms to hasten the speed the Berserk Gauge fills. As Saïx loses more health, the Berserk Gauge fills at a much faster rate. | While in this state, he walks slowly and attacks with slow, but powerful combos.

Saïx's Data Rematch begins slightly differently from his first encounter. His Berserk bar will begin empty and he will immediately call to the moon and start charging it for a short period. Sora can use a finishing move to interrupt Saïx' charge early, so it is recommended to remove any Combo Plus abilities prior to the battle. | Saïx's Data Rematch begins slightly differently from his first encounter.

Once Saïx enters his Berserk state the battle becomes purely survival and waiting for him to drop a claymore. Saïx will take damage in his Berserk state, but it is not without risk because of the large amount of damage that can be dealt. The best strategy is to keep as much distance between Saïx and Sora as possible and look for one of three things to happen: Saïx will stand in place and use his "All shall be lost to you!" desperation move (which he uses at full berserk when below 60% HP); it is at this time that he is truly invincible and Sora must stay away. Saïx may also begin his "Move aside!" combo, provided enough distance is put between Saïx and Sora, simply stand in place and wait for his claymores to drop close by. The third thing that will happen is Saïx will begin to run towards Sora, once close Saïx will either perform his "Begone!" combo or leap into the air and perform his large shockwave attack. If not Reflected, do not count on grabbing the large shockwave claymore, by the time Sora is close enough it will vanish and Sora will be close to Saïx and vulnerable. After every one of his combos, he will recharge his Berserk bar and the only way to stop this is to attack him. However, this comes as a risk because he will attack back with one of his combos, except his "All shall be lost to you!" desperation move since it requires a full Berserk bar to perform. | [[File:Versus Saïx's Replica Data KHIIFM.png|thumb|right|Saïx's Replica Data appears before Sora in the [[Garden of Assemblage]].]] | ||

The Lunatics that Saïx throws disappear very quickly, so get to them quickly by using Dodge Roll or guarding the attack that launched them with Reflect. Unlike in the original battle, Sora will be invulnerable while holding a Lunatic, and the "Berserk" Reaction Command after grabbing one becomes available almost instantly. | The Lunatics that Saïx throws disappear very quickly, so get to them quickly by using Dodge Roll or guarding the attack that launched them with Reflect.

Saïx is one of the bosses at the Keyblade Graveyard. In the first part of the fight, in which Saïx fights alongside Xion, Sora has Lea and Kairi as allies. At the start of the fight, Saïx uses '''Berserk''' to enter Berserk Mode. Thereafter, he switches between Normal, Berserk, and Blue Berserk Modes depending on the status of the Berserk Mode. When he reaches Blue Berserk Mode and uses '''Blue Berserk Burst''' for the first time during the first part of the fight, the battle is interrupted by a cutscene in which Xion defects to the Guardians of Light, Roxas appears to fight alongside Sora, Lea is injured and left to recover, and Kairi is abducted by Xemnas. | Saïx is one of the bosses at the Keyblade Graveyard.

Saïx's data rematch is less upgraded compared to the other Real Organization XIII members, but he is still among the strongest of them. Several of his attacks can Stun Sora, so it is recommended to equip [[Stun Protection]] through equipment such as the [[Nano Gear]] Keyblade. | Saïx's data rematch is less upgraded compared to the other Real Organization XIII members, but he is still among the strongest of them.
