The Hanged Man is a deck of Cards that can be wielded by Luxord in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. It can be upgraded to The Hanged Man+.

Design[edit]

A card from The Hanged Man deck is rectangular and sports a large, white, wing-like design on the upper half. The upper half of the card not covered by this design is blue. The lower half of the card is white with another blue pattern decorating it.

The Hanged Man is one of twenty-two cards that make up a Tarot deck's Major Arcana. It is numbered XII (12).

Gameplay[edit]

The Hanged Man's ground combo starts with a throw of the cards forwards in a boomerang-like fashion, followed by Luxord performing a 360° spin, with his cards surrounding his legs. The first move of the combo is repeated again before ending with Luxord riding a larger version of one the cards like a surfboard while performing a forward 360° spinning attack with larger versions of the cards held in each hand.

The Hanged Man's normal aerial combo consists of Luxord performing a spinning leap, surrounded in an upward spiral of cards, followed by a throw of the cards forwards in a boomerang-like fashion. Both moves are repeated once again before the combo ends with Luxord riding a larger version of one the cards like a surfboard while performing a forward 360° spinning attack with larger versions of the cards held in each hand. The Y combo can be activated after either of the boomerang-like throws, and consists of Luxord landing on the ground, followed by an upward spiral of cards.
