Lexaeus's moves consist of him hitting the ground, tilting the arena, stunning Riku and one Sleight. He also has a solid defense that prevents him from flinching when taking damage, though he does flinch after receiving a card break, and is vulnerable to stun. Try to dodge his Rockshatter sleight by dashing behind him, then card break it. First focus on card breaking Lexaeus's cards to turn into [[Dark Mode]] and use [[sleight]]s to deal heavy damage, but beware of his Continuous Attack which stuns Riku on the second strike if Lexaeus's Warp Break Enemy Card is active, which can be nullified with the Parasite Cage Enemy Card. Use MM Miracles or the [[Oogie Boogie]] card if low on HP. Use sleights while he is charging the reload card so he can't card break Riku, unless he is low on DP, then use as many sleights as possible.

[[File:Versus Lexaeus KHRECOM.png|thumb|right|Lexaeus about to fight against Riku in ''Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories''.]]
In ''Kingdom Hearts: Re:Chain of Memories'', most of Lexaeus's attacks are similar. He repeatedly strikes the ground and jagged rocks shoot up, attempting to impale Riku. A new attack is when Lexaeus starts to emit a yellow aura, during which his strength is temporarily increased, as well as his defense to which he doesn't flinch when taking damage. Using Dark Aura there can deal even more damage. He can do this a second time while it is already in effect, emitting a red aura, gaining another boost and becomes temporarily invulnerable to all attacks except card duel sleights. These buffs also replace his sleight with another, stronger one.


Lexeaus' moves are him hitting the ground and causing earthquakes along with other moves. Try to dodge his sleight, which can hit you multiple times. You should first focus on card breaking his cards to turn into [[Dark Mode]] and use his [[sleights]] to deal heavy damage. Use MM Miracles or an [[Oogie Boogie]] card you can if you are low on HP. Use sleights while he is charging the reload card so he can't card break you, unless you are low on DP, then just use as many [[sleights]] as you can.
His first card is usually an eight, as is Riku's, so he has an immediate opportunity for a card duel. Use all the card duel opportunities as possible, as they do a lot of damage (one and a half bars). Focus on breaking his cards and then go in for the combos, because he will smash Riku with his axe sword if he gets too close. After the first card break or combo, Lexaeus will use his Enemy Card, use Parasite Cage to negate the effect, since it causes his Combo Attack to be able to stun him. If choosing to focus on attacking him, Riku will have to side step every time Lexaeus attacks, to avoid being stunned. Use Dodge Roll to pick up Mickey cards. Use the Enemy Cards Maleficent (to power up cards) and Oogie Boogie (if low on HP). Another option is to wait for his attacks and try to card duel him; after the card duel, recharge the deck and repeat.


===''Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories''===
Since his power up can be fatal if allowed to go through, a good approach to the battle is to prevent him from being able to power up, but beware that all of his magic cards are valued 9, and thus Riku will have to use his 0s or 9s or stack cards to break them. The player should use Sleights, preferably through the lower valued cards (although it is still recommended to leave a few). Through this method, Lexaeus not only will be prevented from powering up but also from attacking, while accumulating DP quick. Once the player enters Dark Mode, the player should assault Lexaeus with Sleights, such as Dark Aura or Dark Break (hence why to leave a few low valued cards, otherwise a 0-7-7 combo can also work). These, in conjunction with the Maleficent Card, will deal a large amount of damage quick all the while stunning Lexaeus, thus greatly simplifying the battle. In order to optimize the damage dealt by Dark Aura, Riku may wait until Lexaeus charges to his yellow aura to then perform Dark Aura, preferably on a Rapid Break, so that Lexaeus won't stagger while taking all hits, for the reason that when Lexaeus isn't under the Charge status, Dark Aura knocks him back after each strike, which can cause him to accidentally avoid one strike or two. Beware of any cardbreak in the meantime, and alternatively use this tactic along with Jafar Enemy Card if in need for safety.

In Re: Chain of Memories, most of Lexeaus' attacks are similar. He repeatedly strikes the ground and jagged rocks shoot up, attempting to impale Riku. A new attack is when the earth-using fiend starts to glow yellow. His strenght and speed are temporarily increased. Lexeaus can increase his power twice.

His first card is usually an eight, and so is yours, so you have an opportunity for a card duel right there in the beginning. Use all the card duel opportunities you can, as you can see they do a lot of damage (1 and a half bars ) Focus on breaking his cards and then go in for the combos, because he will smash you with his tomahawk if you get too close. Obviously he is an earth-based opponents, so all of his sleights have to do with flying rocks, and smashing, and his tomahawk etc. Don't be afraid to use dodge roll to pick up mickey cards. Use the Maleficent (overdrive, which powers up your cards) and Oogie Boogie (regen) enemy cards
===''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix''===
====Absent Silhouette====
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 and range increase and he becomes difficult to stagger.


===''Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix+''===
[[File:Versus Lexaeus's Absent Silhouette KHIIFM.png|thumb|right|Lexaeus's Absent Silhouette engaging in combat.]]
Lexaeus has several moves in his arsenal. In one, he performs a Helm Split attack and leaps upwards and slams the ground with his Skysplitter; evade this attack using Reflect or Dodge Roll. In another, he performs Impact Quake and hurls the Skysplitter up into the air and punches the ground twice before the Skysplitter lands back down in his grasp, of which it is then slammed into the ground on the third attack, 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 performs Mow Down and drags the Skysplitter on the ground to strike Sora. Blocking this attack with Guard or Reflect creates the opportunity to use the Mega-Impact Reaction command. When this command is used, Sora temporarily increases his power level by Lexaeus's current power level and strikes Lexaeus, stripping him of his aura and stunning him; the stronger the power level, the longer Lexaeus stays stunned. After the Reaction Command is complete, Sora loses the power bonus.


Lexaeus appears as an [[Absent Silhouette]] and is featured in a Data Battle.
Lexaeus steadily boosts his power level as his health dwindles. When increasing his power, he gains a red aura and pushes the party back. At higher power, Lexaeus's attacks gain further properties. For instance, when he uses Mow Down, the attack has more range on higher levels. Lexaeus can also Tackle at Sora, throw him against a stone pillar, and hurl his aura-infused Skysplitter at Sora. Alternately, he can perform a Spin Throw, grab Sora, throw him skyward, and slam him to the ground while pillars of earth erupt around the arena. Both attacks can be nullified by a Reflect spell used once, and Sora can land a combo without fear of getting grabbed.


Lexaeus has a "Power Level" at the top of the screen, and will increase as the battle rages on. The higher the number, the more damage he will deal. His max number is 99999. At this level, try and avoid being hit at all costs.
Lexaeus's ultimate attack, Earthen Fury, involves him flying outside the arena for a number of seconds, before charging back into the arena. He finishes his attack by causing rocks to erupt over the entire arena. Sora should guard the charge and cast Reflect; alternately, High Jump and Glide around the arena.


When the battle begins, he will up his "Power Level" to 10100 immediately. He uses a few moves: first, he will jump up towards you with his weapon above his head, and when he summons his rocks, is impossible to avoid except by guarding. Lexaeus will also throw up his [[Centurion]], and a large stock of rocks will appear and damage Sora. He does this three times. The third time, it will come a little later, so be prepared. He will also drag his weapon on the ground and hit Sora. Get close to him and guard when he does that, then a reaction command appears. You will have his power level plus your for an instant, and you will deal damage and stun him with that move. You can find his Absent Silhouette in a corner at the Sandlot in Twilight Town.
====Data Rematch====
[[File:Versus Lexaeus's Replica Data KHIIFM.png|thumb|right|Lexaeus's Replica Data appears before Sora in the [[Garden of Assemblage]].]]
The Data Rematch plays out nearly identically to the Absent Silhouette battle. Lexaeus's health has greatly increased, and begins the fight with higher power.


==Attacks in (Re:)Chain of Memories==
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. Sora however needs to finish him quickly after Lexaeus used Earthen Fury, otherwise his power will keep growing, reaching 99999, making all of his attacks deadly.

Lexaeus appears as a boss in Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories, Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories, Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, and Kingdom Hearts Union χ.

Strategy[edit]

Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories[edit]

Lexaeus's moves consist of him hitting the ground, tilting the arena, stunning Riku and one Sleight. He also has a solid defense that prevents him from flinching when taking damage, though he does flinch after receiving a card break, and is vulnerable to stun. Try to dodge his Rockshatter sleight by dashing behind him, then card break it. First focus on card breaking Lexaeus's cards to turn into Dark Mode and use sleights to deal heavy damage, but beware of his Continuous Attack which stuns Riku on the second strike if Lexaeus's Warp Break Enemy Card is active, which can be nullified with the Parasite Cage Enemy Card. Use MM Miracles or the Oogie Boogie card if low on HP. Use sleights while he is charging the reload card so he can't card break Riku, unless he is low on DP, then use as many sleights as possible.

Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories[edit]

Intro of the fight against Lexaeus in RECOM
Lexaeus about to fight against Riku in Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories.

In Kingdom Hearts: Re:Chain of Memories, most of Lexaeus's attacks are similar. He repeatedly strikes the ground and jagged rocks shoot up, attempting to impale Riku. A new attack is when Lexaeus starts to emit a yellow aura, during which his strength is temporarily increased, as well as his defense to which he doesn't flinch when taking damage. Using Dark Aura there can deal even more damage. He can do this a second time while it is already in effect, emitting a red aura, gaining another boost and becomes temporarily invulnerable to all attacks except card duel sleights. These buffs also replace his sleight with another, stronger one.

His first card is usually an eight, as is Riku's, so he has an immediate opportunity for a card duel. Use all the card duel opportunities as possible, as they do a lot of damage (one and a half bars). Focus on breaking his cards and then go in for the combos, because he will smash Riku with his axe sword if he gets too close. After the first card break or combo, Lexaeus will use his Enemy Card, use Parasite Cage to negate the effect, since it causes his Combo Attack to be able to stun him. If choosing to focus on attacking him, Riku will have to side step every time Lexaeus attacks, to avoid being stunned. Use Dodge Roll to pick up Mickey cards. Use the Enemy Cards Maleficent (to power up cards) and Oogie Boogie (if low on HP). Another option is to wait for his attacks and try to card duel him; after the card duel, recharge the deck and repeat.

Since his power up can be fatal if allowed to go through, a good approach to the battle is to prevent him from being able to power up, but beware that all of his magic cards are valued 9, and thus Riku will have to use his 0s or 9s or stack cards to break them. The player should use Sleights, preferably through the lower valued cards (although it is still recommended to leave a few). Through this method, Lexaeus not only will be prevented from powering up but also from attacking, while accumulating DP quick. Once the player enters Dark Mode, the player should assault Lexaeus with Sleights, such as Dark Aura or Dark Break (hence why to leave a few low valued cards, otherwise a 0-7-7 combo can also work). These, in conjunction with the Maleficent Card, will deal a large amount of damage quick all the while stunning Lexaeus, thus greatly simplifying the battle. In order to optimize the damage dealt by Dark Aura, Riku may wait until Lexaeus charges to his yellow aura to then perform Dark Aura, preferably on a Rapid Break, so that Lexaeus won't stagger while taking all hits, for the reason that when Lexaeus isn't under the Charge status, Dark Aura knocks him back after each strike, which can cause him to accidentally avoid one strike or two. Beware of any cardbreak in the meantime, and alternatively use this tactic along with Jafar Enemy Card if in need for safety.

Yellow Charge: x1.5
Red Charge: x2.0
Lexaeus - A1 (card).png
Used at close range. Lexaeus swings his axe sword down and performs a second strike. With a yellow or red Charge, the second hit will create a shock wave. With a red Charge, the shock wave will cover the entire arena.
Tomahawk Shot (トマホークショット
Tomahōku Shotto

Charge (チャージ
Chāji
?)
Lexaeus - M (card).png
Used at long range. Lexaeus powers himself up. If he has stocked any cards, they will be removed.
When using Charge once, Lexaeus gains a yellow aura, doesn't flinch, can't be stunned, can use Rockshatter, and his Combo Attack becomes stronger.
When using Charge twice, Lexaeus gains a red aura, becomes invulnerable (excluding Duels and certain hits of Holy Burst and Inverse Burst), can use Ground Impact, and his Combo Attack covers more range.

After taking around 5 card breaks, Lexaeus loses his current state of the Charge status: reverts to the yellow Charge if it was red or loses all Charge if it was yellow.
Impact Quake (インパクトクエイク
Inpakuto Kueiku
?)
Neutral x1.0 Lexaeus - A2 (card).png + Lexaeus - M (card).png + Lexaeus - A1 (card).png
Used with no charge. Lexaeus gathers energy and slams the ground with his axe sword. Rocks then appear from the ground around Riku. Can be difficult do avoid, and Riku can get hit multiple times.

?, lit. "Rockbreak")
Neutral x2.5 Lexaeus - A2 (card).png + Lexaeus - A1 (card).png + Lexaeus - M (card).png
Can be used with yellow Charge. Lexaeus moves to the center of the arena, summons 6 rocks around him and shatters them with his axe sword, sending debris flying. Both the rocks and the debris deal damage. The attack can be avoided by side-stepping the moment the rocks break, or by double jumping in Dark Mode.

The range of the attack can be altered if Riku prevents Lexaeus from moving to the center of the arena by getting in his way.
Ground Impact (グランドインパクト
Gurando Inpakuto
?)
Neutral x3.5 Lexaeus - A1 (card).png + Lexaeus - A2 (card).png + Lexaeus - M (card).png
Can be used with red Charge. Lexaeus hits the ground from the sky, and creates a shock wave that covers the entire arena. If the attack is not broken, Lexaeus will lose all Charge status after the attack.

Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix[edit]

Absent Silhouette[edit]

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 and range increase and he becomes difficult to stagger.

Lexaeus's Absent Silhouette
Lexaeus's Absent Silhouette engaging in combat.

Lexaeus has several moves in his arsenal. In one, he performs a Helm Split attack and leaps upwards and slams the ground with his Skysplitter; evade this attack using Reflect or Dodge Roll. In another, he performs Impact Quake and hurls the Skysplitter up into the air and punches the ground twice before the Skysplitter lands back down in his grasp, of which it is then slammed into the ground on the third attack, 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 performs Mow Down and drags the Skysplitter on the ground to strike Sora. Blocking this attack with Guard or Reflect creates the opportunity to use the Mega-Impact Reaction command. When this command is used, Sora temporarily increases his power level by Lexaeus's current power level and strikes Lexaeus, stripping him of his aura and stunning him; the stronger the power level, the longer Lexaeus stays stunned. After the Reaction Command is complete, Sora loses the power bonus.

Lexaeus steadily boosts his power level as his health dwindles. When increasing his power, he gains a red aura and pushes the party back. At higher power, Lexaeus's attacks gain further properties. For instance, when he uses Mow Down, the attack has more range on higher levels. Lexaeus can also Tackle at Sora, throw him against a stone pillar, and hurl his aura-infused Skysplitter at Sora. Alternately, he can perform a Spin Throw, grab Sora, throw him skyward, and slam him to the ground while pillars of earth erupt around the arena. Both attacks can be nullified by a Reflect spell used once, and Sora can land a combo without fear of getting grabbed.

Lexaeus's ultimate attack, Earthen Fury, involves him flying outside the arena for a number of seconds, before charging back into the arena. He finishes his attack by causing rocks to erupt over the entire arena. Sora should guard the charge and cast Reflect; alternately, High Jump and Glide around the arena.

Data Rematch[edit]

Data Lexaeus before battling Sora in the Garden of Assemblage.
Lexaeus's Replica Data appears before Sora in the Garden of Assemblage.

The Data Rematch plays out nearly identically to the Absent Silhouette battle. Lexaeus's health has greatly increased, and begins the fight with higher power.

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. Sora however needs to finish him quickly after Lexaeus used Earthen Fury, otherwise his power will keep growing, reaching 99999, making all of his attacks deadly.
