Larxene

Learn how to defeat Larxene in Kingdom Hearts III's Limitcut episode. This guide covers her attacks, weaknesses, and strategies for overcoming her speed and clones.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Larxene's main trait is her speed.
• Her Strike Combo can be deflected and countered for damage.
• If her Strike Combo is not blocked, she follows up with Kunai that cause shockwaves; dodge these.
• She uses Thunder Strikes from a distance, which can be dodged. She uses this three times in succession.
• She can jump, slam down, and create a circle of shockwaves; dodge away and counter. She uses this three times.
• She teleports around the arena as lightning bolts, leaving damaging trails.
• She can use Thunder Strikes while teleporting.

Phases:

1. Phase 1: Larxene uses her standard attacks: Strike Combo, Kunai shockwaves, Thunder Strikes, and aerial slam shockwaves. She teleports frequently.
2. Phase 2 (Below half HP): Larxene summons clones that have all her attacks. Clones can be killed in a single strike.
3. Phase 3: Larxene uses her Desperation Move: an Electric Circle that closes in on Sora, requiring a last-moment Dodge Roll.

Strategy:

• Always stay locked-on to avoid losing track of her.
• Deflect and counter her Strike Combo for damage.
• Dodge away from her Kunai shockwaves if you don't block the Strike Combo.
• Dodge to the side to avoid her long-range Thunder Strikes; be prepared for three volleys.
• Dodge away from her aerial slam shockwaves and attempt to counter.
• Be aware of the lightning trails she leaves when teleporting and dodge approaching Thunder Strikes.
• When she summons clones, stand your ground, deflect attacks, and counter to defeat them.
• For her Desperation Move (Electric Circle), Dodge Roll out at the very last moment.
• Keeping track of her movements and deflecting/countering her attacks are key to victory.
