{{Main|Mission 75: Eliminate the impostor}}
Roxas may get stuck fighting the many [[Heartless]] in this mission during the search for Xion. Moving further into the Tram Common, Roxas sees Xion on top of a building, and she runs away. Xion does not attack, but only runs and dodge rolls, and teleports to another place in the area after taking several hits. The system for when this mission ends is unclear, as the timing for Xion to go to the secluded area is set at random. At the end of the mission, Xion teleports herself to the secluded place, where she waits for Roxas. Once Roxas reaches Xion, the mission ends, following a few cutscenes.

Xion's third battle takes place in the '''Lamp Chamber''' area of [[Agrabah]]. In this form, Xion is more graceful and agile, performing flips and spins that make her difficult to hit. Xion's third form is difficult to dodge due to limited dodging room combined with Xion's agility and long reach. Land combos immediately after she stops attacking, and move away before she resumes.

=====Final Form=====
The final battle with Xion takes place in front of the '''Train Station''' in Twilight Town. She becomes massive, but remains stationary at one end of the battlefield throughout the fight. In this form, Xion loses both Counter Slash and Barrier, and her regular attacks are slow and telegraphed. However, her attacks can inflict status effects.

The final battle with Xion takes place in front of the '''Train Station''' in Twilight Town. She becomes massive, but remains stationary at one end of the battlefield throughout the fight. In this form, Xion loses both Counter Slash and Barrier, and her regular attacks are slow and telegraphed. However, her attacks can inflict status effects.

Xion is fought at the Keyblade Graveyard alongside Saïx. Sora has Kairi and Lea as allies. Throughout the fight, Xion alternates between wielding her [[Replica Kingdom Key]] and copying Saïx's berserk state.  
[[File:Versus Saïx and Xion KHIII.png|thumb|right|Saïx and Xion fighting against Sora, Kairi and Lea in the Keyblade Graveyard.]]
Xion is fought at the Keyblade Graveyard alongside Saïx. Sora has Kairi and Lea as allies. Xion starts the fight wielding a copy of Saïx's [[Lunatic]], then switches to wielding her [[Replica Kingdom Key]] halfway through the fight. The techniques she uses depend on the weapon wielded.
 
If Sora is nearby immediately after Xion switches to the Keyblade, she uses '''Berserk Combo'''. She also uses this attack as a counterattack.


Xion's battle skills have effectively increased due to her possessing a fragment of [[Xehanort]]'s [[heart]]. Xion will often teleport occasionally to Sora or Kairi's position. Once she reaches her target, she will use multiple Keyblade thrusts to send Sora flying into the air, ending her combo with her slamming them down with her Replica Claymore. She will also occasionally enter a berserk state like Saïx's but the attack can be blocked by locking onto her. The fight automatically ends once Saïx's berserk gauge is full.

After one minute when Saïx's berserk gauge becomes full, Xion goes limp and stops acting, becoming invincible while in this state. Saïx then uses his '''Blue Berserk Burst''' attack, upon which a cutscene plays and afterwards Xion is no longer fought alongside Saïx, instead becoming Sora's party member for the rest of the fight.

Xion's data is a secret boss in ''Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind''. Her battle is significantly made harder.
[[File:Versus Xion's Recreated Data KHIIIRM.png|thumb|right|Xion's recreated data engaging in combat against Sora's data.]]
Xion's data is a secret boss in ''Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind''. Her battle is made significantly harder.
 
Xion retains a few attacks from her battle at the Keyblade Graveyard, such as Strike Raid, her basic combo, and her rushing combo. However, she now has more attacks at her disposal. Like Roxas, Xion often teleports in streaks of [[light]] and summons light beams to attack. Her blue light beams can be blocked, and if they connect, they will inflict [[Leech HP]], reducing Sora's maximum health and stacking until he only has 1 [[HP]]. Sora can use a [[Panacea]], [[Elixir]], or a [[Formchange]] to reverse the effect. Xion's golden light beams do not inflict [[Leech HP]], but they cannot be blocked.
 
If Xion's revenge value is hit, she will teleport away and may perform a downward strike in the air above Sora. Dodge to avoid it.


Xion retains a few attacks from her battle at the Keyblade Graveyard, such as Strike Raid, her basic combo, and her rushing combo. However, she now has more attacks at her disposal. Like Roxas, Xion often teleports in streaks of [[light]] and summons light beams to attack. Her blue light beams, can temporarily reduce Sora's maximum health, up to 1 [[HP]], if they connect. She also has golden light beams, which do not have the same effect; she often telegraphs this by saying, "Let it rain!" Occasionally, she will shroud herself with a yellow aura, signified by her saying, "Now you'll see!" or "Time to end this!" and her health being replaced with armor. From there, she enters a berserk state, where she furiously begins leaping around the arena and slamming her Keyblade down at Sora. After five slams, Xion is vulnerable for punishment.  
Xion uses the following attacks in her first phase:
* Quick Strike Raid combo: Xion performs Strike Raid 3 times in a row. Block all three, and the third will break Sora's guard. Risk Dodge to get a chance to attack.
* Strike Raid into physical combo: Xion performs Strike Raid only once, followed by a 2-hit physical combo and a 3-hit physical combo, with a wide swing at the end of the 3-hit set. Block each hit and reprisal the last hit of the 3-combo for a chance to attack. A good visual cue is Xion's wide swing at the end, which leaves her low to the ground.
* Slow blue beams: Xion fires 5 blue light beams one at a time, then does a 2-hit physical combo, followed by 4 blue beams, another 2-hit physical combo, and finishing with 4 blue beams. Block 4 beams and Airstep to her as she fires the 5th beam to get a chance to attack.
* Strike Raid and blue beams combo: Xion performs one Strike Raid, followed by one blue beam, a second Strike Raid, two blue beams, and finally a third Strike Raid that breaks Sora's guard. Block each, and Risk Dodge after the guard break for a chance to attack.
* Blue beam dashes: Xion dashes sideways, launching blue beams to her sides as she does so. There does not seem to be an opening to this, just block the beams.
* Keyblade flurry: Xion rushes at Sora, wildly swinging her Keyblade for 4-5 hits, followed by a downward strike. She then teleports and attempts a second downward strike, followed by another teleport and a third downward strike. There does not seem to be an opening for this - block the initial flurry, then block or dodge the downward strikes.


For her ultimate attack, Xion teleports outside the arena's boundaries and bathes the arena in golden light. She starts implementing more yellow beams while retaining her berserk state. This berserk state ends after a few minutes, or if Xion's armor is broken. When the arena returns to normal, Xion will appear vulnerable after a few seconds.
If Xion glows golden and gains armor (often paired with the lines "Now you'll see!" or "Time to end this!"), she is entering her armor phase. Until her armor is depleted (or enough time passes), her attacks will change to the following:
* Bouncing attack: Xion jumps toward Sora and slams the ground with a golden flash, summoning gold pillars and sending blue beams outwards. She performs 5 slams in total - the first targets Sora and can be blocked, slams 2 through 4 are distant but their blue beams still need to be blocked, and slam 5 targets Sora again. Block each of the 5 slams, using a reprisal on the 5th slam for a chance to attack.
* Keyblade flurry and blue beams 1: Xion rushes at Sora with wild Keyblade swings and a downward strike, followed by 4 fast blue beams, a single downward strike, and ending with 4 more fast blue beams. All attacks in this sequence can be blocked.
* Keyblade flurry and blue beams 2: Xion rushes at Sora with wild Keyblade swings, but does not perform a downward strike. She follows this with 4 slow blue beams, and 4 fast blue beams. Block all of these.
* Laser Rain: Xion raises her Keyblade skyward, often letting out a yell or shouting, "Let it rain!", and summons large pillars of light on the ground, 3 times total. These cannot be blocked, so dodge each as they appear.


Unlike the other data battles, Xion is particularly hard due to her relentless nature. Understanding her patterns is even more crucial than in past battles to defeat her.
When Xion has about 5 bars of HP remaining, she enters her second phase and adds additional attacks:
{{Stub}}
* Physical combo with blue beams: Xion sends a set of 2 blue beams, performs 2 physical combos (which will usually miss), and sends another set of 2 beams from behind her. She then teleports and performs a wide swing, sending 4 blue pillars in the direction she swung in. Block the 2-beam sets, then block the wide swing and reprisal for a chance to attack.
* Strike Raid and blue beams: Xion does 2 downward strikes with her Keyblade, followed by throwing 3 Strike Raids. The first Strike Raid stops before reaching Sora, and sends blue beams outwards. The second Strike Raid hits Sora, then sends blue beams outwards again. The third Strike Raid breaks Sora's guard and sends blue beams in an X shape towards him. As before, block each attack until reaching the guard break on the third Strike Raid, then Risk Dodge for a chance to attack.
* Single downward strike: Xion occasionally will teleport 3 times and then perform a downward strike.


==Mission walkthroughs==
When Xion is down to four health bars, she will teleport outside the bounds of the arena and unleash her ultimate attack. As she says either "Ready, Sora?" or "Here we go!", the arena becomes bathed in a golden light, and the sky changes into a sunset. Xion will gain armor again, will not stagger during this phase, and her attacks will change until the armor is depleted or enough time passes:
{{Main|Mission 75: Eliminate the impostor}}
* Light eruption: Light erupts from the stage from the center outwards, in a pattern similar to the spokes of a wheel. Xion then rushes at Sora for a 3-hit physical combo. Light then erupts from the stage again, and Xion performs another 3-hit combo. The eruptions cannot be blocked, but Xion's physical attacks can - so dodge the former and block the latter. Try to reprisal on the physical attacks to deplete some of Xion's armor.
{{Main|Mission 92: Xion}}
* Blue beam cage: A cage of blue beams appears around Sora, followed by an unblockable golden beam in the center, and the blue beams scatter across the arena. Dodge once the yellow beam appears, then block the blue beams as they scatter.
* Blue beam wall: Xion performs a downward strike, followed by a 3-hit combo while blue beams form a wall at her sides. All of these hits can be blocked and reprisaled.
* Blue beam dance: Blue beams appear at the edges of the arena, then quickly move around it in sweeping motions, as Xion performs sideways dashes that send out more blue beams. Focus on blocking the beams.
 
After Xion's ultimate attack concludes, the light vanishes and Xion re-appears in the center of the arena. She is open to attack right as she re-appears.

Xion is fought as a boss in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days and Kingdom Hearts III. In Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days she is fought multiple times throughout the game before finally serving as the penultimate boss.

In Kingdom Hearts III, she and Saïx team up with each other at the Keyblade Graveyard to fight Sora, Kairi, and Lea. A data replica of her is also an optional boss in Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind.

Story[edit]

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days[edit]

In Mission 75, Roxas is sent to Twilight Town. Xion has left the Organization and is mistaken for the Organization impostor, Riku. Roxas has to track her down and "eliminate" her. Roxas attacks the impostor, but is stunned to realize he is fighting Xion.

She attacks Roxas in Mission 92, which takes place throughout various locations in worlds visited during the events of the game. Using the Organization XIII Devices, Xion is able to absorb Sora's memories from each world in order to replicate his abilities, and to some extent other elements of those worlds. For example, in Halloween Town, Xion uses Sora's Ragnarok and uses a weapon resembling the Chimera arm or The Experiment's arm, while in Agrabah, she uses his Ars Arcanum and has arms and swords resembling Kurt Zisa. Strike Raid is the only one of Sora's Kingdom Hearts special abilities that Xion does not use. Interestingly, the first three areas that Xion warps Roxas to are the locations of that worlds' respective Keyholes. In the case of Twilight Town, the Station Plaza is where Sora opens the world Gate.

Design[edit]

During Roxas's battle with Xion, she dons armor which changes a number of times throughout the fight. Her basic form is a bizarrely-shaped, predominantly silver and black suit, with dull red armor near her waist, gold on her boots, and orange armored gloves. Xion's helmet sports two black spikes that jut out horizontally on either side, and a large, red Nobody symbol on the faceplate, part of which forms something of a horn on the top of the helmet. This form is based on Sora's original appearance, with Sora's jacket, pants, and necklace, although Xion's pants are pink and have designs, and her necklace features a Nobody symbol instead of a crown.

In her first form, Xion sports large, skeletal, colorful wings and a huge, orange and red, intricately-shaped sword. In her second form, Xion loses her wings and grows to twice the size of Roxas, exchanging her sword for a large, pincer-like weapon vaguely resembling one of the Chimera's arms. In her third form, Xion transforms into a figure with four huge arms, decorated with elegant gold, purple and red designs. She has large blades instead of hands, and her arms resemble Kurt Zisa's arms. Her main body is slightly larger than normal in this form.

In her final transformation, Xion grows to a titanic size, about the same height as the Train Station tower in Twilight Town. Her armor is now embroidered with numerous spikes and ribbons, and she gains two pink and silver, Keyblade-like weapons with teeth in the shape of the Nobody symbol. Interestingly, this form has a similar design to Sora's appearance in Kingdom Hearts II, now being mainly black and dark grey.

Strategy[edit]

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days[edit]

Mission 75[edit]

Roxas may get stuck fighting the many Heartless in this mission during the search for Xion. Moving further into the Tram Common, Roxas sees Xion on top of a building, and she runs away. Xion does not attack, but only runs and dodge rolls, and teleports to another place in the area after taking several hits. The system for when this mission ends is unclear, as the timing for Xion to go to the secluded area is set at random. At the end of the mission, Xion teleports herself to the secluded place, where she waits for Roxas. Once Roxas reaches Xion, the mission ends, following a few cutscenes.

Mission 92[edit]

Main article: Mission 92: Xion

Be prepared for a multi-stage boss battle. During the fight, Xion transports Roxas to four different locations, each time assuming a different form.

Xion's attacks require good timing and careful maneuvering to avoid. Make good use of Dodge Roll and Glide. Equip Cure magic and/or Potions. Attack magic is effective but not essential.

First Form[edit]

The first battle with Xion takes place in the Bizarre Room of Wonderland.

Sonic Blade (ソニックレイヴ Sonikku Reivu?, lit. "Sonic Rave") Attack Command 1.29
Xion's aerial attack. Xion enters flight mode by first pushing Roxas away with a nondamaging burst of energy, then floating into the air. Once airborne, she performs Sora's Sonic Blade, attacking with a quick diving thrust. If Sonic Blade connects, Xion repeats the attack until it misses or is parried. Xion returns to the ground after the attack.[?]
Barrier (バリア Baria?) Attack Command 1.85
When her HP is low, Xion occasionally attempts to restore her HP. She floats into the air, channels for a couple seconds, then raises a dark barrier, becoming temporarily invulnerable and regaining a substantial amount of HP. Interrupt this ability by attacking Xion before she raises her barrier.

Xion uses Sora's Ragnarok. She floats into the air, charges energy, then fires a salvo of projectiles which home in on Roxas. Avoid this attack by Gliding or running away (with a level 2 Haste equipped) until the projectiles disappear. If Xion performs Ragnarok repeatedly, land one or two attack combos while she is charging, then immediately move away. If dodging proves difficult, consider equipping a ring with Nil resistance such as Nothing to Fear to mitigate Ragnarok's damage. Note that although Nothing to Fear fully nullifies Ragnarok's damage, the missiles still stun Roxas if they connect.[?]
Barrier (バリア Baria?) Attack Command 1.90
When her HP is low, Xion occasionally attempts to restore her HP. She floats into the air, channels for a couple seconds, then raises a dark barrier, becoming temporarily invulnerable and regaining a substantial amount of HP. Interrupt this ability by attacking Xion before she raises her barrier.[?]
Guard/Block: △ = Can be blocked; O = Can be blocked and interrupted (melee) or deflected back (projectile); X = Cannot be blocked.
Third Form[edit]

Xion's third battle takes place in the Lamp Chamber area of Agrabah. In this form, Xion is more graceful and agile, performing flips and spins that make her difficult to hit. Xion's third form is difficult to dodge due to limited dodging room combined with Xion's agility and long reach. Land combos immediately after she stops attacking, and move away before she resumes.

Final Form[edit]

The final battle with Xion takes place in front of the Train Station in Twilight Town. She becomes massive, but remains stationary at one end of the battlefield throughout the fight. In this form, Xion loses both Counter Slash and Barrier, and her regular attacks are slow and telegraphed. However, her attacks can inflict status effects.

Kingdom Hearts III[edit]

When retrying against Saïx and Xion.
Saïx and Xion fighting against Sora, Kairi and Lea in the Keyblade Graveyard.

Xion is fought at the Keyblade Graveyard alongside Saïx. Sora has Kairi and Lea as allies. Xion starts the fight wielding a copy of Saïx's Lunatic, then switches to wielding her Replica Kingdom Key halfway through the fight. The techniques she uses depend on the weapon wielded.

If Sora is nearby immediately after Xion switches to the Keyblade, she uses Berserk Combo. She also uses this attack as a counterattack.

Xion will often teleport occasionally to Sora or Kairi's position. Once she reaches her target, she will use multiple Keyblade thrusts to send the target flying into the air, ending her combo with her slamming them down with her Replica Claymore. She will also occasionally enter a berserk state like Saïx's but the attack can be blocked by locking onto her. After one minute when Saïx's berserk gauge becomes full, Xion goes limp and stops acting, becoming invincible while in this state. Saïx then uses his Blue Berserk Burst attack, upon which a cutscene plays and afterwards Xion is no longer fought alongside Saïx, instead becoming Sora's party member for the rest of the fight.

Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind[edit]

Data Xion when retrying her data-fight.
Xion's recreated data engaging in combat against Sora's data.

Xion's data is a secret boss in Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind. Her battle is made significantly harder.

Xion retains a few attacks from her battle at the Keyblade Graveyard, such as Strike Raid, her basic combo, and her rushing combo. However, she now has more attacks at her disposal. Like Roxas, Xion often teleports in streaks of light and summons light beams to attack. Her blue light beams can be blocked, and if they connect, they will inflict Leech HP, reducing Sora's maximum health and stacking until he only has 1 HP. Sora can use a Panacea, Elixir, or a Formchange to reverse the effect. Xion's golden light beams do not inflict Leech HP, but they cannot be blocked.

If Xion's revenge value is hit, she will teleport away and may perform a downward strike in the air above Sora. Dodge to avoid it.

Xion uses the following attacks in her first phase:

  • Quick Strike Raid combo: Xion performs Strike Raid 3 times in a row. Block all three, and the third will break Sora's guard. Risk Dodge to get a chance to attack.
  • Strike Raid into physical combo: Xion performs Strike Raid only once, followed by a 2-hit physical combo and a 3-hit physical combo, with a wide swing at the end of the 3-hit set. Block each hit and reprisal the last hit of the 3-combo for a chance to attack. A good visual cue is Xion's wide swing at the end, which leaves her low to the ground.
  • Slow blue beams: Xion fires 5 blue light beams one at a time, then does a 2-hit physical combo, followed by 4 blue beams, another 2-hit physical combo, and finishing with 4 blue beams. Block 4 beams and Airstep to her as she fires the 5th beam to get a chance to attack.
  • Strike Raid and blue beams combo: Xion performs one Strike Raid, followed by one blue beam, a second Strike Raid, two blue beams, and finally a third Strike Raid that breaks Sora's guard. Block each, and Risk Dodge after the guard break for a chance to attack.
  • Blue beam dashes: Xion dashes sideways, launching blue beams to her sides as she does so. There does not seem to be an opening to this, just block the beams.
  • Keyblade flurry: Xion rushes at Sora, wildly swinging her Keyblade for 4-5 hits, followed by a downward strike. She then teleports and attempts a second downward strike, followed by another teleport and a third downward strike. There does not seem to be an opening for this - block the initial flurry, then block or dodge the downward strikes.

If Xion glows golden and gains armor (often paired with the lines "Now you'll see!" or "Time to end this!"), she is entering her armor phase. Until her armor is depleted (or enough time passes), her attacks will change to the following:

  • Bouncing attack: Xion jumps toward Sora and slams the ground with a golden flash, summoning gold pillars and sending blue beams outwards. She performs 5 slams in total - the first targets Sora and can be blocked, slams 2 through 4 are distant but their blue beams still need to be blocked, and slam 5 targets Sora again. Block each of the 5 slams, using a reprisal on the 5th slam for a chance to attack.
  • Keyblade flurry and blue beams 1: Xion rushes at Sora with wild Keyblade swings and a downward strike, followed by 4 fast blue beams, a single downward strike, and ending with 4 more fast blue beams. All attacks in this sequence can be blocked.
  • Keyblade flurry and blue beams 2: Xion rushes at Sora with wild Keyblade swings, but does not perform a downward strike. She follows this with 4 slow blue beams, and 4 fast blue beams. Block all of these.
  • Laser Rain: Xion raises her Keyblade skyward, often letting out a yell or shouting, "Let it rain!", and summons large pillars of light on the ground, 3 times total. These cannot be blocked, so dodge each as they appear.

When Xion has about 5 bars of HP remaining, she enters her second phase and adds additional attacks:

  • Physical combo with blue beams: Xion sends a set of 2 blue beams, performs 2 physical combos (which will usually miss), and sends another set of 2 beams from behind her. She then teleports and performs a wide swing, sending 4 blue pillars in the direction she swung in. Block the 2-beam sets, then block the wide swing and reprisal for a chance to attack.
  • Strike Raid and blue beams: Xion does 2 downward strikes with her Keyblade, followed by throwing 3 Strike Raids. The first Strike Raid stops before reaching Sora, and sends blue beams outwards. The second Strike Raid hits Sora, then sends blue beams outwards again. The third Strike Raid breaks Sora's guard and sends blue beams in an X shape towards him. As before, block each attack until reaching the guard break on the third Strike Raid, then Risk Dodge for a chance to attack.
  • Single downward strike: Xion occasionally will teleport 3 times and then perform a downward strike.

When Xion is down to four health bars, she will teleport outside the bounds of the arena and unleash her ultimate attack. As she says either "Ready, Sora?" or "Here we go!", the arena becomes bathed in a golden light, and the sky changes into a sunset. Xion will gain armor again, will not stagger during this phase, and her attacks will change until the armor is depleted or enough time passes:

  • Light eruption: Light erupts from the stage from the center outwards, in a pattern similar to the spokes of a wheel. Xion then rushes at Sora for a 3-hit physical combo. Light then erupts from the stage again, and Xion performs another 3-hit combo. The eruptions cannot be blocked, but Xion's physical attacks can - so dodge the former and block the latter. Try to reprisal on the physical attacks to deplete some of Xion's armor.
  • Blue beam cage: A cage of blue beams appears around Sora, followed by an unblockable golden beam in the center, and the blue beams scatter across the arena. Dodge once the yellow beam appears, then block the blue beams as they scatter.
  • Blue beam wall: Xion performs a downward strike, followed by a 3-hit combo while blue beams form a wall at her sides. All of these hits can be blocked and reprisaled.
  • Blue beam dance: Blue beams appear at the edges of the arena, then quickly move around it in sweeping motions, as Xion performs sideways dashes that send out more blue beams. Focus on blocking the beams.

After Xion's ultimate attack concludes, the light vanishes and Xion re-appears in the center of the arena. She is open to attack right as she re-appears.
