The Emperor (Cards)



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

Design
A card from Luxord's The Emperor deck has the vague shape of an hourglass with spiked corners and a semi-circle cut taken out of the long sides. There is an ornate, orange pattern with a white outline decorating the face of the card. This pattern lines the sides of the card, but leaves an opening at the top and bottom, which creates the silhouette of a shape that bears a curious resemblance to the badge that Terra, Aqua, Ventus, and Master Eraqus wear. Cards from The Emperor deck are nearly identical to The World's cards, the only difference being that the orange section on The Emperor is green on The World.

The Emperor is one of twenty-two cards that make up a Tarot deck's Major Arcana. It is numbered IV (4).

Gameplay
The Emperor's ground combo starts with large versions of the cards protruding from the ground around Luxord, followed by throwing a line of cards forwards then flipping them over, and ends with two wide sprays of cards forwards.

The aerial combo consists of Luxord slashing diagonally downwards with a larger version of the card held in his right hand, followed by 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.
