Ansem's attacks include him creating violet spheres of [[light]] around Sora that launch lasers at him, surrounding himself in those spheres to generate a damaging barrier as he rushes to attack Sora, creating multiple dark crests that explode upon contact, spawning a dark circle that follows Sora and eventually transforms into a cage of dark claws, and his deadliest has Ansem exert red energy around him which pulls in and knocks back Sora before he unleashes tendrils of darkness that deal heavy damage; however if timed correctly, one can use [[Aerial Recovery]] and [[Payback Strike]], as the knockbacks before the blast deal no damage and it's possible to [[Glide]] away before getting trapped. During his attacks with the spheres, he cannot be flinched when hit. When he creates dark mines, the best way to clear them is to use Thunder magic. Sora can also use the explosions to trigger a reprisal by standing near the mines and blocking the explosions. This can work regardless of whether of not flash step is equipped.

Each member will have a dark aura whenever they disappear and reappear, meaning that Sora will be their only target. Each time they reappear, they will use a specific attack with the one with the aura appearing last. For Ansem, Young Xehanort will use his whip-snaring attack followed by Xemnas launching energy balls and Ansem using his shockwave last. To avoid this, Sora should [[Dodge Roll]] or jump to avoid Young Xehanort's attack, block Xemnas's energy balls, and if Ansem hits Sora, time Aerial Recovery and then Payback Strike. Each time a member is defeated or if all three disappear after attacking with the dark aura, the cyclone sequence will repeat itself with each member using a specific attack. If Young Xehanort is defeated first, Ansem will launch spheres of light that will extend into beams, then will release the cage of claws which will launch Sora into the air followed by Xemnas's rolling attack. First jump to avoid the cage and block all the beams and finally Xemnas. If Xemnas falls first, Young Xehanort will launch missiles of ice that will freeze Sora, followed by Ansem's shockwave attack. If Ansem's the only one left, he'll release the spheres like with Xemnas and use his shockwave attack. Sora can either block the beams and use Payback Strike or Dodge Roll the beams and Glide away, but the timing of the spheres can be a little tricky to dodge.

Ansem's data rematch pits Sora against a much stronger Ansem with multiple new abilities.

Ansem starts by summoning several laser orbs that float around Sora, then he summons a line of dark crests, and he'll follow up with firing sets of four projectiles and two projectiles shortly after that, four times. Once the first orbs start glowing, guard to block the lasers, then cast [[Thundaga]] to stun Ansem, airstep to him and attack to skip the projectiles. Additionally, wait until he fires the projectiles and airstep to him to attack. However, the timing is more strict this time as he might fire the second set, or the first set might still hit Sora. When his HP gets lower, he'll fire the projectiles immediately upon summoning the crests, giving no time to stun him with Thundaga.

Ansem frequently summons a circle of lasers around himself and chases Sora. This attack can easily be dodged or blocked consecutively. You can use a reprisal near the end to deal minor damage to Ansem, but don't follow up with a combo, as he'll immediately start the next attack.

Next, Ansem summons a shadow that follows Sora underneath him, along with a circle of crests around Sora. Wait for the shadow to expand, and dodge to avoid the dark claws. Wait for the crests to move before dodging those as they close in. After this, Ansem is open for a combo, so attack, using airstep if necessary.

Ansem retains his old Dark Rush ability. He will rush Sora twice, then charge up and perform a more powerful dash. Block the first two dashes, then quickly airstep and immediately block without attacking. The third rush breaks Sora's guard, so use [[Risk Dodge]] to counter before landing a combo.
Another attack involves Ansem rushing at Sora with a dark shield in front of him twice, before charging up and performing a more powerful dash. Block the first two dashes, then quickly airstep and immediately block without attacking. This will allow you to use [[Risk Dodge]] to attack him and leave him open for a combo.


After losing some HP, Ansem will perform his ultimate move, where he covers the entire arena in darkness and summons two giant orbs of darkness. The orbs will fire shots that will {{c|Burn|status}} or {{c|Freeze|status}} Sora. Ansem can also trap Sora with the orbs, dealing heavy damage and inflicting the {{c|Cloud|status}} status effect. When activating his ultimate move, Ansem will first move sideways in front of Sora. Once one of the orbs starts shaking, guard to block the shots. After blocking four times, airstep to Ansem and attack him. Next, he'll warp further away and the orbs will be at your side. Wait for one of them to move away slightly before blocking. After doing this three times, Ansem will try to trap Sora with the orbs. [[Dodge Roll]] forwards to dodge the orbs, then airstep to Ansem to counter.

After this, the attack will end.


After using his ultimate move, Ansem will have some new attacks. One involves him standing in the center of the arena, glowing red, and pulling Sora in. During this move, two sets of laser orbs will appear to damage Sora. Dodge the lasers instead of blocking to avoid getting sucked in, and keep dodging to avoid Ansem unleashing a shock wave. Afterwards, he'll be open to attack, so airstep to him and strike.

Ansem will have a different version of the laser orb attack after his ultimate move. He'll start by summoning a wall of lasers in front of himself, summoning lines of dark crests, and summoning the laser orbs. Block the lasers and use [[Counter Kick]] after the final laser to dash through another wall of lasers and attack Ansem.

Once his HP gets low, he'll perform a variation of his ultimate move. Once again, he'll cover the arena in darkness and summons the giant orbs. However, once this starts, quickly dodge away as he'll try to trap Sora right away. After this, he'll place the orbs behind one another. After a short pause, the front orb will fire a barrage of shots that can inflict [[Sneeze]] before shooting itself forwards to trap Sora. Guard repeatedly to block the shots, then Dodge Roll through the orb. Repeat this with the second orb, and after Dodge Rolling though that, airstep to Ansem and attack. Next, he'll stand in the center, firing striped orb projectiles. These can't be blocked, so dodge them. He'll continue with the other attack afterwards, so block, dodge and attack until he falls.

If Sora is having trouble blocking and dodging his ultimate move, try to equip armor to protect against the status effects it causes.
