==Strategies==

===''Kingdom Hearts''===
===''Kingdom Hearts''===
The Darkside is fought three times. The first battle takes place in the [[Dive to the Heart]], the second at the [[Destiny Islands]], and the third battle is part of the series of final boss battles at the [[End of the World]].
The Darkside uses its size and strength to easily overpower opponents. It can punch the ground, creating a pool of darkness and summoning [[Shadow]]s to assist it in battle. It can also fire blasts of dark energy from its chest. Its seemingly powerful desperation move involves pulling a dark energy orb out of the ground while causing a shockwave and launching it into the sky, causing it to disperse to the ground as smaller energy blasts.

====First Battle====
;Attacks
*The Darkside punches the ground, causing a dark pool and mild shockwave to form. This attack summons a small number of Shadows.
*The Darkside creates a dark force in the heart-shaped hole in its body, which fires dark homing missiles.


The Darkside is an easy-medium boss, and can be defeated very quickly. In all three battles against the Darkside, the strategy for defeating it remains the same. Its weaknesses are its head and hands. This is simply a hack-and-slash battle, with no real strategy needed. Simply attack at every opportunity and avoid the Darkside's attacks. When the Darkside launches its dark missiles, time attacks just right to send them hurling back, heavily damaging the Darkside as well as granting [[Tech Points]]. Any deflected missiles grants 1 Tech point, while every deflected missile that hits the Darkside grants an additional 2 Tech points.

If Sora gets low on health, defeat the Shadows that spawn, as they drop HP orbs. If one can climb Darkside's arm and attack its head, tech points are granted for every combo finisher landed.

====Second Battle====
;Attacks
*The Darkside punches the ground, causing a dark pool and mild shockwave to form. This attack summons a small number of Shadows.
*The Darkside scoops up an orb of darkness, which splits into many smaller orbs that rain from the sky.
*The Darkside creates a dark force in the heart-shaped hole in its body, which fires dark homing missiles.
The strategy for the first battle can be used for the second battle.


When the Darkside scoops up the orb of Darkness, do not run around. The missiles will vanish when [[guard]]ed or attacked and will not make Sora recoil.

{{atk-c|kh1}}
The Darkside from this battle will act the same as the one from the second battle, so simply use the same strategies and the Heartless will fall.
 
Interestingly, this particular Darkside spawns Shadows that drop munny when defeated, at a point where munny can no longer be used in the game.

The Darkside follows a set attack pattern. It starts with Dark Punch, followed by Homing Darkness, Shock Wave, and finally Sphere of Darkness, before repeating.
====Sora's Story====
====Sora's Story====
;Attacks
This memory-based incarnation of the Darkside utilizes tactics similar to its ''Kingdom Hearts'' counterpart. Card Breaks are an easy way to avoid damage. Again, one must attack the arms to deal damage, Sora having to jump in order for this to be done. Due to the boss's amount of HP, the fight may last for a very long while. When the Darkside is about to use Homing Darkness, one can use a [[Card Break]] to attack it before it escapes. Another way to attack the Darkside's head without using a Gimmick Card is to wait for it to use Dark Punch, which requires its arm to be immobilized, and there will be an opportunity to attack its head. Defeating all shadows appearing because of the Dark Punch will cause the Darkside to drop a [[Gimmick Card]], making a plank of driftwood appear that Sora can hop upon and float up to the Darkside's head to deal extra damage. A combination of high-numbered [[Attack Cards]] as well as Cure Cards are recommended, along with [[Enemy Cards]] such as Jafar, Maleficent, Vexen and Card Soldier to make the battle easier. Sleights are not as critical in this battle, as the Darkside's dimensions make it easy to miss, wasting cards. The Darkside tends to warp away before preparing to attack, making Omnislash unreliable for this boss, as Cloud disappears when no target is present.

;Attacks
The strategy above holds similar to Riku's battle with the Darkside. The boss has much less HP than in Sora's Story. Riku can also utilize [[Dark Mode]], [[Dark Firaga]] being the most reliable Sleight in his arsenal, considering he only has two. [[Dark Break]] can be used more commonly, and has a tendency to hit the head. Although, the abuse of attempts at using sleights will make Riku run short of cards and thus should be used only when the Darkside is targetable. Due to Riku's higher jump, he can also directly attack the Darkside's head without needing to wait for an opening where it slams its arm into the ground.

===''Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories''===
Compared to the original game, the differences are the Gimmick Card causes large plateaus to rise from the ground, the severely toned down HP on Sora's story, and the fact the Darkside remains permanently targettable. The Darkside executes the exact same tactics as its ''Kingdom Hearts'' counterpart, but sped up, and thus can be hard to avoid without card breaks.


The strategy above holds similar to Riku's battle with the Darkside. The boss has much less HP than in Sora's Story. Riku can also utilize [[Dark Mode]], [[Dark Firaga]] being the most reliable Sleight in his arsenal, considering he only has two.

Due to Riku's higher jump, he can also directly attack the Darkside's head without needing to wait for an opening where it it slams its arm into the ground.
The most optimal way to make use of the Gimmick Card is to use it while near the front of the enemy, making the player character stand on a plateau that will rise directly towards the front of the Darkside's head.

In ''Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories'', the only difference is the Gimmick Card causes large plateaus to rise from the ground. The most optimal way to make use of this card is to do so while near the front of the enemy, making the player character stand on a plateau that will rise directly towards the front of the Darkside's head. The Darkside still executes the same tactics as its ''Kingdom Hearts'' counterpart, but much faster and thus can be hard to avoid without card breaks.

The Darkside will again strike, but this time, it will release numerous bugged blocks upon contact with the ground and they deal damage to Sora. To attack the hand, Sora must delete a layer of bugged blox which cover its hand. The Darkside will slump forward and its head will lay stunned, on the ground and open for attacks.

*The Darkside hops around, each time releasing a small shock wave.
*The Heartless turns into a swirling mass of blocks, which proves lethal if contact is made.
In its last form, the Darkside will become entirely invisible, nothing but a bunch of orange blox. In the center of the swirling mass, there is a purple blox, which represents the Darkside's health. Dodge Roll is useful for this, as the Darkside will hop around, each time releasing a small shock wave. Consequently, it will turn into a swirling mass of blocks, and prove lethal if contact is made. Dodge Roll is faster than running; it can avoid the Darkside's attacks. Soon, it will separate, and the purple block is wide open for attacks. But do not be idle for too long; it will close after some time. Destroy the block by repeating the process over and over.

As usual, the Darkside's hands are its primary weak points, though its head can become vulnerable after a while. When it slams its fist into the ground to summon Shadows, prepare to use [[Block]] to guard the shockwave. It can also launch orbs of darkness from its chest, which can be blocked back to it, and from its hands, which can only be dodged. So long as Sora attacks and dodges when necessary, the Darkside will fall with ease. Defeating the Darkside awards Sora with [[Fire]] and [[Water]] magic.

While the strategy remains the same, this Darkside is a lot more powerful and has a lot more HP, but this time Sora has more tools at his disposal, such as more combat abilities, Formchanges, Magic and Links. His High Jump coupled with his Doubleflight ability make reaching its head even easier.
