Game:Zexion: Difference between revisions

When Zexion has collected enough cards, three copies of the Book of Retribution will appear in the corners of the battlefield, glowing with a mysterious aura. Zexion will now start using Riku's stolen Soul Eater Cards instead of his Magic Cards, three intangible copies of Zexion appear alongside him, each with a false Soul Eater in hand, and, if available, he may use his own Enemy Card. When Zexion uses a Soul Eater card, his clones will rush at Riku, slashing him, the combo ending with a downward slam from Zexion himself, and with his Enemy Card in effect, Riku may get afflicted by Confusion. Zexion also will have access to two very powerful Sleights, Dark Punisher and Catastrophe. During Dark Punisher's execution, Zexion will grab Riku from behind and slowly damages him. Only a Card Break will free Riku from the boss's grasp. Catastrophe is far more deadly, however; Zexion summons a sphere of light energy in the center of the battlefield and shoots a laser beam at it while any remaining clones do the same. Zexion and his clones rotate around the area. Again, only Card Breaks will allow Riku to escape.

This execution of powerful melee attacks and Sleights will continue until the four Lexicons are destroyed, which can be done through careful utilization of aerial attacks or even an Inverse Burst Sleight by using a King Mickey Friend Card. Not only will destroying a Book of Retribution cause a Zexion clone to vanish (decreasing the number of hits landed in his standard combo), but it will also relinquish EXP. Successfully destroying all four Book of Retribution copies will cause all the remaining Soul Eater cards that Zexion stole to reappear on the battlefield; picking them up returns them to Riku's deck for normal use. Take extreme caution once the Book of Retribution copies are first destroyed, as Zexion may place a decoy Soul Eater card (recognized by its unique coloration) amongst the fallen cards he had previously stolen. Should Riku use this card unwittingly, he will take damage and be stunned for a time, opening him up for more damage and allowing Zexion to easily steal more cards. His most powerful techniques no longer available, Zexion will then revert to his card-stealing strategy.

Utilize Card Duels whenever possible. Dark Barrage can be especially powerful when one has a high AP level, and the fact that it can hit multiple targets will allow Riku to destroy Zexion's Book of Retribution copies, causing EXP to drop as a result. Zexion's attacks should be Card Broken whenever possible, as most will be unavoidable if this does not occur. Sleights should also be used to the Riku's advantage; even though Riku's poorly composed deck will only allow usage of Dark Break and Dark Firaga, a high AP level greatly increases the damage done by these attacks. Despite the great advantage Sleights will provide HP-wise, they should not be abused, as continued use of Sleights to deal heavy damage or Card Break an attack will quickly reduce Riku's number of usable cards from the beginning amount of 23 to one or two; this negative side-effect is only worsened by Zexion's card-stealing abilities.
