Editing Game:Lexaeus

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 (one 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 gets too close. After the first card break or combo, Lexaeus will use his Enemy Card, use Parasite Cage to negate the effect, since it causes his Combo Attack to be able to stun him. If choosing to focus on attacking him, Riku will have to side step every time Lexaeus attacks, to avoid being stunned. 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.

Since his power up in ''Re:Chain of Memories'' can be fatal if allowed to go through, a good approach to the battle is to prevent him from being able to power up, but beware that all of his magic cards are valued 9, and thus Riku will have to use his 0s or 9s or stack cards to break them. The player should use Sleights, preferably through the lower valued cards (although it is still recommended to leave a few). Through this method, Lexaeus not only will be prevented from powering up but also from attacking, while accumulating DP quick. Once the player enters Dark Mode, the player should assault Lexaeus with Sleights, such as Dark Aura or Dark Break (hence why to leave a few low valued cards, otherwise a 0-7-7 combo can also work). These, in conjunction with the Maleficent Card, will deal a large amount of damage quick all the while stunning Lexaeus, thus greatly simplifying the battle. In order to optimize the damage dealt by Dark Aura, Riku may wait until Lexaeus charges to his yellow aura to then perform Dark Aura, preferably on a Rapid Break, so that Lexaeus won't stagger while taking all hits, for the reason that when Lexaeus isn't under the Charge status, Dark Aura knocks him back after each strike and can cause him to accidentally avoid one strike or two.  

|Used at long range. Lexaeus powers himself up. If he has stocked any cards, they will be removed.<br>When using Charge once, Lexaeus gains a yellow aura, doesn't flinch, can't be stunned, can use Rockshatter, and his Combo Attack becomes stronger.<br>When using Charge twice, Lexaeus gains a red aura, becomes invulnerable (excluding Duels and certain hits of [[Holy Burst]] and [[Inverse Burst]]), can use Ground Impact, and his Combo Attack covers more range.

|After taking repeated card breaks, Lexaeus loses his current state of the Charge status : reverts to the yellow Charge if the aura is red or reverts to normal if his Charge aura is yellow.

|Can be used after using Charge once (yellow aura). Lexaeus moves to the center of the arena, summons 6 rocks around him and shatters them with his axe sword, sending debris flying. Both the rocks and the debris deal damage. The attack can be avoided by side-stepping the moment the rocks break, or by double jumping in Dark Mode within a narrow timing.

|Can be used after using Charge twice (red aura). Lexaeus hits the ground from the sky, and creates a shock wave that covers the entire arena. If the attack is not broken, Lexaeus will lose all Charge status after the attack.}}
