Luxord is a man of games and luck; his challenge to Sora and Jack to find the medallions has a game quality to it, and the Heartless he summons cannot be attacked unless all the coins are in the chest, giving a side-objective to the battle. He also uses games of chance in his own battle with Sora. However, his enjoyment for games can backfire on him, both in and out of battle. His enjoyment of games is further portrayed in his additional scenes in ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'', which show him in an almost uncaring light - he seems to not be bothered as long as he can continue to gamble and see interesting things. In ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', much of Luxord's dialogue makes references to cards, games, and luck.

Luxord is also portrayed as a master of rhetoric, with an advanced vocabulary (for example, describing the Grim Reaper Heartless as "''a veritable maelstrom of avarice''", meaning endlessly greedy, using it to taunt his opponents). Like Xaldin, he also possesses a notably British accent in the English translation, furthering his air of sophistication. Another interesting note is that, unlike most other members of Organization XIII, who banter with Sora in some fashion before fighting, when Luxord appears to him he calmly smiles and says "''I'd rather we just skip the formalities''", and begins the battle right away. This somewhat contrasts his appearance in ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', where he talks a good deal to Roxas on their missions.
