At the start of the battle, Vexen will surround Sora in a stream of data. In a flash of light, Sora will be trapped within a massive block of ice. Rapidly press {{Button|t}} to set him free. Vexen will then most likely attempt to hit Sora with twin, large snowflakes as they quickly spin around him. Dodge Roll multiple times or use [[Reflega]] to avoid the attack. Sora can then attack Vexen's shield. | At the start of the battle, Vexen will surround Sora in a stream of data. In a flash of light, Sora will be trapped within a massive block of ice.

This is merely a distraction method, but the Clone Sora's attacks are powerful and fast like Antiform itself, and its power and HP will even increase as the Data Bar fills from zero to five over the course of the battle. Target the Clone Sora first - otherwise, any combos Sora attempts to use against Vexen will be likely to be interrupted. Worse, Clone Sora can trap Sora in a combo that takes away all his HP. Defeating a Clone Sora will relinquish [[MP]] orb [[prizes]] to restore any MP Sora has used up. Then continue to strike Vexen with physical combos or Fire spells. Vexen will only use attacks previously seen for the rest of the battle, so utilize the same strategies to avoid them as before. Vexen is invincible when creating a Clone Sora, so he may be bound to stop/delay any of Sora's assaults whenever he gets the chance with one unit of data collected. | ||

However, because this battle has an increased chance of activating Antiform, either spend time beforehand lowering Sora's Anti Points, or be prepared to go on the evasive. Remember, Antiform can't be used to defeat Vexen's shield or Clone Sora due to the lack of a finisher, through attacking them anyways can get Antiform to expire quicker. An [[Ether]] should be used right before Sora goes below zero MP rather than afterwards. This will increase the amount of Fire spells that can be launched before Sora reverts to normal. | ||

Be on the move constantly when this happens. | ||
It is always wise to keep moving and to knock back Vexen to prevent staying in one spot constantly to avoid the data stream. Air combos work great for this due to the stationary launching nature of most of Sora's ground combo finishers. Donald and [[Goofy]] no doubt, do not have any affect on the data stream, so they are free to move around as they wish, especially if they have been properly equipped to assist Sora in | It is always wise to keep moving and to knock back Vexen to prevent staying in one spot constantly to avoid the data stream.

When Vexen reaches his retaliation point in the air, he'll forcefully attempt to counter with a variation of his Ice Needle attack. On ground and out of normal retaliation, he'll instantly re-summon his shield, knocking back Sora. Both retaliation points will cause Vexen to always regain his shield. | When Vexen reaches his retaliation point in the air, he'll forcefully attempt to counter with a variation of his Ice Needle attack.
