During this battle, Sora and Lexaeus have a power meter | During this battle, Sora and Lexaeus have a special power meter. Sora's power level is capped at 100, whereas Lexaeus steadily increases his power level throughout the fight, up to a maximum of 99999. As Lexaeus's power rises, his attack power, range, and defense increase. | ||
Early in the fight, Lexaeus has several moves in his arsenal. In one, he leaps upwards and slams the ground with his Skysplitter; evade this attack using Reflect or Dodge Roll. In another, he hurls the Skysplitter three times, each time causing rocks to erupt from the ground. The finisher is the most powerful of the three, but comes with an exploitable delay, allowing Sora to predict when to Dodge Roll. In the third attack, Lexaeus drags the Skysplitter on the ground to strike Sora. Blocking this attack with Guard or Reflect creates the opportunity to use Mega-Impact Reaction command. When this command is used, Sora temporarily increases his power level by an amount equal to Lexaeus's current power level, striking Lexaeus and stripping him of his battle aura. After the Reaction Command is complete, Sora loses the power bonus. | |||
Lexaeus steadily boosts his power level as his health dwindles. When charging his power, he gains a red aura and pushes the party back. At higher power, Lexaeus gains access to more powerful attacks. For instance, when he drags the Skysplitter on the ground to strike Sora, the attack has more range on higher levels. Lexaeus can also charge at Sora, throw him against a stone pillar, and hurl his aura-infused Skysplitter at Sora. Alternately, he can grab Sora, throw him skyward, and slam him to the ground while pillars of earth erupt around the arena. | |||
Lexaeus's ultimate attack involves him flying | Lexaeus's ultimate attack involves him flying outside the arena for a number of seconds, before charging back into the arena. Sora should guard the first attack, then cast Reflect; Lexaeus finishes his attack by causing rocks to erupt over the entire arena. | ||
The Oblivion and Decisive Pumpkin are crucial to bringing Lexaeus down quickly. | |||

To defeat the Data Replica, Sora should use the same strategy he used when taking on the original Absent Silhouette. However, while Sora has access to much more abilities than he had when taking down the Silhouette, Lexaeus is much stronger, and can employ countermeasures as well. | To defeat the Data Replica, Sora should use the same strategy he used when taking on the original Absent Silhouette.
