Scenario

TBD

Battle

Ansem (although he is really Xehanort's Heartless) is a Dual Menace, using both his dark powers and his Guardian to attack his opponent. He can command his Guardian to perform several actions at distance, but he needs the Guardian for some of his attacks. His HP attack count among the most menacing in the game, as they have a long range and a long duration. However, Dark Rush is useless against enemies at a different altitude, and Dark Shadow leaves the user very vulnerable.

Ex Mode

Ansem's Ex Mode is called Absolute Darkness : Ansem is surrounded by a dark aura, and his Guardian gains blood-red facial lines (in place of the usual blue). Except the usual Regen, Ansem gains the "Max AI Boost", allowing the Guardian to take initiatives without his master's command, acting like a separate character (AI Boosts are obtainable as Extra abilities, but they are not as effective)

Ansem's Ex Burst is the World of Chaos : Ansem will absorb Darkness, and you will have to charge a bar by pressing various buttons. If you don't succeed, Ansem will use Dark Shadow. If you succeed, Ansem will disappear, then the World of Chaos Heartless will appear itself. On the top, Ansem will smile cruelly, before crushing his foe with a ray of darkness from the ship's mouth.
