BOSS - Vexen
Stats / Weaknesses:
- Vexen uses Ice Needles and Freeze sleights.
- He has a shield that needs to be bypassed.
- When low on health, he uses Diamond Dust.
- The King cards can stun Vexen.
Phases:
- Opening: Use Jafar-Genie from the start and card break Vexen to get past his shield.
- Dark Mode: When in Dark Mode, you can bypass the shield and deal damage more directly. Break his sleights.
- Diamond Dust: When Vexen is low on health, he will use Diamond Dust, a blizzard attack followed by a wall of ice.
Strategy:
- Start the battle with the Jafar-Genie card.
- Card break Vexen to get past his initial shield.
