Game:Roxas

Roxas is a boss in Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix at The World That Never Was.

Dark City
The battle will always start out with Sora within his attack range. Just as the battle commences, Roxas will immediately use "Whirlwind Swing" where he twirls his Keyblades in a wide cross-circle. You can tell when he is about to use it by hearing him yell "Hup!" and hear the "ting" of his Keyblades surging with power from the attack. Players can either move closer and Cast Reflect to damage Roxas, Jump out of the way, Dodge Roll or, if locked on, use Guard.

Roxas will always run behind Sora and use one of his attacks, "Aerial Rotation Swing", "Whirlwind Swing", or "Continuous Swing". You can counter the fishing move of the "Continuous Swing" by using Reflect or Guard, leaving Roxas open for a combo.

Roxas will counter Sora's second finisher attack with his "Instant Landing", you can either stop the combo at the first finisher or use the second finisher then quickly cast Reflect. If Roxas was first hit with Reflect, he will counter Sora's first finish instead.

Roxas will often use "Aerial Rotation Swing" (Which looks similar to "Instant Landing") which closes in on Sora very quickly from any distance by jumping in the air and rolling mid-air before landing on the ground quickly, hurting Sora if the player does not block the attack.

Roxas may use"Duel Attack" which is a variation of Roxas's Samurai Nobodies's "Duel Stance". If Sora wins the duel, instead of hurting Roxas, Sora will knock him away and steal Roxas's Keyblades temporarily. Roxas will start using his "Spot Beam" to attack Sora. He will also use "Instant Recapture Attack" where he surrounds Sora with his beams of light and attempts to regain his Keyblade. Sora can use "Reversal" reaction command to avoid getting hurt, otherwise Roxas will use his Keyblade to knock Sora away.

After 25%% of his health went down, he gets even more aggressive.

At this point, Roxas stops using "Duel Attack", and will start using "Spot Beam" which are laser pillars with the Nobody Symbol on top of it that accompanies his "Continuous Swing" combo at Sora. After he sends out about 8-9 beams he will dash forward and send out the last behind him as to hit anyone who might have moved behind him.

He gains a new attack, "Keyblade Throw", in which he will send his Keyblades spinning towards Sora. He then uses "Dark Power" by teleporting 2 times, throwing his Keyblades at Sora before using "Dark Power Finisher" in which he performs a flurry of slashes before sending out a sphere of energy around himself which will draw Sora in if nearby.

He will also use an enhanced version of "Aerial Rotation Swing", accompanied by "Arranged Beam" (which is similar to "Spot Beam" but is lined up to make a wall of beams) where he as usual leaps and closes in on Sora, but at the same time summons beams of Light to Maximize his attack range, Making it even harder on Sora to dodge this one without the use of guard or Reflect magic.

After he has 40% HP left, Roxas will use his Limit Break, "Magic Hour". He summons light beams as a sort of shield and rises into the air glowing with energy and sends out even more energy to the background revealing the area where Sora unlocks Keyholes to other worlds. When he shouts "come on!", he summons pairs of Light Orbs as he twirls both of his Keyblades to send out homing energy projectiles at Sora. The best way to dodge this one is to keep on moving to one side of the field, dashing, gliding, or rolling whichever is more preferable. He will also start to launch "Spot beam" while running around.

Roxas will also use an enhanced version of "Whirlwind Swing", in which he summons his light beams around him as he charges the attack, and sends the beams flying to all directions as he released the attack. The attack can still be avoided or reflected using Reflect magic.

An enhanced version of "Keyblade Throw" might also be used, he will use "Dark Power" 5 times before using the "Dark Power Finisher".

Note: As he takes damage, Roxas will leave but a second for Sora to react to his attacks. Key timing and planning is best to memorize for this battle. Also, only use Guard to block attacks if locked on. If the player isn't using Guard exactly in the direction of Roxas, it will get hit the same way.

Data Rematch
In the data rematch, use Dodge Roll, Reflect, Guard and melee attacks to your full ability - Roxas has a greater tendency of using his light shields. His health has also greatly increased, making the fight more dangerous. The best strategy is to use the Duel Stance Reaction Command whenever possible and steal his Keyblades. Once you have them, hit Roxas with everything you got! But so long as the player heals periodically, Roxas will fall with ease.
