Xemnas

Master the Limitcut battle against Xemnas in Kingdom Hearts III's Re Mind DLC. Learn his attack patterns, counters, and Desperation Move to secure victory.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Xemnas is a challenging boss in the Limitcut episode of the Re Mind DLC.
• Learning to reliably block his attacks is crucial for finding openings to counter.
• His Desperation Move is one of the most difficult in the game.

Phases:

1. Standard Combo: Xemnas teleports and uses kicks and punches. Stay locked-on, block these attacks, and counter with your own combo.
2. Black Thorns: These don't damage but can't be deflected. If hit, you'll be pulled into Xemnas's follow-up combos. Evade them, or Air Dash away if caught.
3. Electrical Orbs: These home in on Sora and explode. They can be deflected, so stand your ground and guard.
4. Barriers: Xemnas creates barriers around the arena. Destroy them with a single strike to prevent him from pulling you into them with Black Thorns. Destroying them quickly can lead to a free combo.
5. Blade Combo: Xemnas swings multiple times, ending with a Spinning Slash. Block these and counter the Spinning Slash.
6. Red Orbs: Small orbs that wait before firing projectiles. It's better to guard through these than dodge.
7. Desperation Move: The arena turns dark. Xemnas uses Black Thorns to pull you in for combos. Focus entirely on dodging and blocking, as survival is key. After the initial onslaught, he summons numerous Red Orbs; stay on the ground and block them.

Strategy:

• Always stay locked-on to Xemnas to keep track of his teleports and attacks.
• Prioritize blocking his standard combos and Blade Combo to create counter-attack opportunities.
• When Black Thorns appear, focus on evasion. If you get caught, use Air Dash to escape.
• Deflect Electrical Orbs and destroy Barriers quickly to avoid damage and set up your own attacks.
• During his Desperation Move, survival is paramount. Don't look for openings; just focus on blocking and dodging until the Red Orb phase, then block them all.
• Be aware that Xemnas can drag the fight into the air, making defense more challenging.
