Game:Playing Card



The Queen of Hearts appears alongside the Card Soldiers and Crank Tower as a boss in Wonderland.

Kingdom Hearts
After Sora presents his evidence to the Queen of Hearts she refuses to let Alice go. Card Soldiers hoist her high above the courtyard, using the Crank Tower. In order to rescue Alice from her cage, Sora must destroy the Crank Tower while at the same time fighting of the Card Soldiers and the Queen of Hearts.

Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories
The Queen of Hearts again orders the Card Soldiers to attack after Sora claims that he is the "true thief." In this game, however, Sora only fights the Card Soldiers and not the Queen of Hearts or Crank Tower.

Kingdom Hearts
The Queen herself is really weak as one hit knocks her upside-down, showing her knickers. Her attack is also weak as she swings her heart shaped fan which causes minor damage. She also taunts you after her attack leaving her open for a wack to the head. She, like the cards can only be knocked out.

The heart cards wield polearms and should therefore be considered dangerous even when at a distance. The spade cards have axes and have a medium ranged overhead slash. Like the Queen, they cannot be killed, only knocked out. Therefore, your actual target is the Crank Tower.

Unlike most enemies, the Crank Tower has "endurance" instead of HP, meaning that it takes a set amount of hits to defeat it, and the strength of those hits do not matter. The gear handles have an endurance of 9, while the Tower itself has an endurance of 24. By landing strong combos on it, you can stun all of the Card Soldiers temporarily.

Start by knocking out all the Card Soldiers to give yourself time to attack the tower. Knocking out the Queen and the cards at the same time will lengthen the amount of time the card are K.O.ed. This will allow to complete several combos on the crank handles. One or two Card Soldier may wake up while attacking, but they will be quickly stunned by the combos on the Crank Tower. There are four handles you must destroy before you can begin attacking the tower.

Trivia

 * The Card Soldiers turn to smoke when defeated in Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories. This is because they are not Heartless, and therefore do not release Hearts when defeated.
