I am genuinely shocked I managed to pull this off, Riku is just so much better at fighting the replica. There are actually a few reasons this seems so much more doable then with Sora. One, Riku's attacks are faster so its not as risky to attack plus his second hit stuns ensuring your last attack lands without getting broken until after. Riku's Dash Jump in Dark Mode is also very good at dodging the replica's attacks. Sora's dodge roll simply doesn't get him far enough away and he often gets caught by the two-hit attack or the jump slash. The Jump Dash has another interesting effect in this fight, if you are far enough away it can force the replica into jumping across the field to close in and you can use this opening to Jump Dash in and get some damage in. Since the Jump Dash sends you so far, you can use this to get far enough away to keep him in a loop of jumping.

Two more things to note, like with Vexen you can't shortcut any cards so you need to be ready to play your zero cards at all times. Second is that unlike with Sora, you cannot dodge his Helm Split sleight. Sora was only able to dodge it because of Glide but since Riku's doesn't have it, you have no choice but to card break it.

Topic of the video: "Stun Attack"
One of the more useful features exclusive to Riku is his ability to stun with normal attacks. If you remember the Riku Replica has the ability to stun you with the second hit of his combo attack, this is something normal Riku has too. The second hit of his combo in Dark Mode will actually stun enemies and bosses giving you the chance to finish your combo or use the stun time for something else. Because of this its generally a safe idea to use low number cards in the second hit of a combo. You can also abuse this stun to complete plow through most of Riku's story by just hitting bosses twice over and over again to keep them permanently stun locked. If it wasn't obvious, I have no intention of doing this. I may use the stun attack to give me time to use an enemy card or reload my deck but I won't be abusing this to completely stunlock bosses.
