The '''Replica Xehanorts''' serve as the penultimate boss of ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]'', facing off against [[Sora]], [[Donald]], and Goofy in [[Scala ad Caelum]]. After their defeat, [[Master Xehanort]] absorbs them to fashion a suit of Keyblade Armor for himself to fight the party. 

In ''Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind'', after Xehanort's armor is destroyed, the Replicas are sent to deal with the [[Guardians of Light]] and prevent them from closing Kingdom Hearts. After being momentarily repelled by [[Mickey Mouse]] with help from Sora's future self, the Replicas merge into a copy of Armored Xehanort to fight Sora and a revived [[Kairi]], serving as the final boss of the DLC scenario.

==Strategy==
===''Kingdom Hearts III''===
This battle serves as a prelude for the true battle with Master Xehanort, and as such, is fairly simplistic. The Replicas have only a few attacks: Most of them will perform a standard three-hit combo with their weapons, or perform spinning slashes. Xigbar's Replica will fire a few lasers or will charge up and fire a large spread of laser arrows. One of the Replicas (usually Saix's) will launch Sora into the air, leaving him vulnerable to spin attacks from the others or a spread of arrows. 

As the Replicas all share the same HP bar, the party only needs to focus on one to win the fight. When attacked enough times, the replicas will teleport away, which forces the party to search the town for them until they reappear. When their HP is reduced to 75%, the Replicas may perform their Surging Lightning Strike. They will rise into the air and combine their power to form a giant magic circle that rains down laser beams as the sky darkens. During this attack, the Replicas will repeatedly charge at Sora from all sides. The lasers can be avoided with ease, but Trinity Guard can be a great help to defend against their charges. The Nano Arms finisher can be used to deal great damage if Sora is surrounded. He can also use [[Counter Kick]], right after parrying the upwards strike from one of the Replicas to deal huge damage to all of the rest once they all attempt to strike him after surrounding him.

Once the attack ends, the fight resumes as normal. However, the Replicas will perform the attack again if enough time passes. So long as Sora remembers to heal when necessary and keeps an eye out for surprise attacks, the replicas will fall with ease.

Since the Replicas all share an HP bar, attacks that hit multiple of them can be devastating. Using Aeroga repeatedly followed by Aeroza will keep them trapped while dealing hefty damage with each spell. Alternatively, one can use [[King's Flare]]'s Finisher or the Ultima Weapon's Shotlock, [[Infinity Circle]], to deal almost all of their HP in damage, if not defeat them instantly.

===''Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind''===
====First battle====
Sora faces off against the Replica Xehanorts in Scala ad Caelum. The fight is identical to the one in the base game.

====Second battle====
The Replica Xehanorts serve as the penultimate boss of the ''Re Mind'' scenario, fought by the Guardians of Light. This is a mostly cinematic battle that serves as a prelude to the battle with Armored Xehanort. While the battle is not difficult, caution is recommended as the Guardians cannot heal at all during this fight. They can only attack and evade or defend depending on the character. 

The Replicas have three attacks: a three-hit combo, a spinning slash, and an overhead slash telegraphed by them glowing red. The Guardians must attack the replicas to fill the situation bar. Once the bar is full, they will be prompted to use the '''Finish''' Situation Command to deal the finishing blow to one of the Replicas. After enough attacks, the Guardians will be prompted to use powerful cinematic Situation Commands 

Occasionally, the Replicas will glow red and attempt to charge at the Guardians from all sides. They can be repelled by a well-timed Reflega to inflict great damage. After enough damage, Riku will be prompted to use the Situation Commands '''Onrush''' where he will charge at the Replicas, dodging their attacks with the '''Quick Dodge''' Situation Command. He will then use the '''Dark Divide''' situation command, firing blasts of dark energy at the Replicas before being forced to defend against them with the '''Knockback''' Situation Command, ending the battle. 

;Attacks
* The Replicas attack with spinning slashes.
* The Replicas will glow red and attack with a powerful overhead slash. 
* The Replicas will glow red and charge at the party. 
====Third battle====
After the Guardians are defeated, a weakened and injured Mickey must make his way to the Keyhole while fending off the Replica Xehanorts. The Replicas will teleport to Mickey and attack him, but they can be repelled with well-timed attacks. They will also fire lasers from their Keyblades that Mickey can repel with the '''Pushback''' Situation Command. If Mickey is knocked down, he can use the '''Stand Up''' Situation Command to get up again. As Mickey gets closer to the Keyhole, the Replicas' attacks become faster. Eventually the Replicas will all fire their lasers at Mickey and he must use the '''Pushback''' Situation Command to defend against them until he is prompted to use the '''Enduring Faith''' Situation Command to end the battle. 

;Attacks
* The Replicas will teleport to Mickey and slash at him.
* The Replicas will fire lasers from their Keyblades that Mickey can repel with the Pushback Situation Command.

====Replica Armored Xehanort====
