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

Design[edit]

A card from The Tower deck is white and has a very elegant, wavy design. The top of the card sweeps to the right while the bottom does just the opposite and sweeps to the left. There is a large, blue pattern in the center of the card with a wave-shaped indentation in the top-right and bottom-left corners. A large, white symbol vaguely similar in shape to a crotchet rest is placed in the center of this blue pattern. There are also two very thin, blue lines as well, lining the top-left and bottom-right corners.

The Tower is one of twenty-two cards that make up a Tarot deck's Major Arcana. It is numbered XVI (16).

Gameplay[edit]

The Tower'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 Tower'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.
