Game:Saïx: Difference between revisions

In ''Kingdom Hearts III'', he and [[Xion]] battle Sora, [[Lea]], and [[Kairi]] at the [[Keyblade Graveyard]], but once Xion defects to the [[Guardians of Light]] and Roxas returns to turn the tide of battle, Saïx engages Sora, Roxas, and Xion in one last stand. A data replica of him is also an optional boss in ''[[Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind]]''.

===''Kingdom Hearts II''===

Throughout this battle, Saïx's attack pattern is determined by a "Berserk Gauge" in the top-left corner of the screen. When the battle begins, the gauge will be full and Saïx will rise into the air and enter his "Berserk" state. The gauge will begin slowly emptying and once empty, he will revert to a calmer attack pattern, wherein the gauge begins filling again. Note that the burst of light that emanates from Saïx's body when he enters his berserk state can damage Sora.

As long as Sora uses Reaction Commands to revert Saïx's transformation as soon as possible, he is not an overly difficult opponent. If in a tight spot, avoid Saïx's berserk attacks by gliding or dashing away, healing when necessary. Be cautious if using Drive Forms, as [[AntiForm]] is more likely to activate due to the nature of battling an Organization XIII member. Using [[Final Form]] is a big help if accessible, while Saïx is in his normal state.

====Data Rematch====

Saïx's Data Rematch begins slightly differently from his first encounter. His Berserk bar will begin empty and he will immediately call to the moon and start charging it for a short period. Sora can use a finishing move to interrupt Saïx' charge early, so it is recommended to remove any Combo Plus abilities prior to the battle.

After breaking Saïx's berserk state, it is pivotal to guard in order to block his attacks, as they can still deal heavy damage and will allow Saïx to call to the moon to charge his Berserk gauge faster. The "Magna Storm" Reaction Command will still reset Saïx's Berserk gauge in the Data Rematch, but the dropped claymores vanish much faster and the window to use Magna Storm after seizing one is shorter.

Saïx will sometimes use two fissure slams before throwing his claymore, which creates a third fissure slam instead of the stunning spin. Again, Dodge or Airstep to him and attack while he is empty-handed in the air.

If Saïx starts by throwing several claymores on the ground and slamming the ground, he will follow with a rushing uppercut, perform a dash that creates purple fissures, do two front slams that create purple fissures, and finally rise into the air with claymores floating around him and slam the ground again. He is vulnerable to attack during this final slam. Dodge the initial slam, uppercut, dash, and two front slams, then dodge toward him during the final slam and attack. It is also possible to guard the second front slam, though it will break Sora's guard, so risk dodge and attack to hit him just before the final slam.
