Organization XIII - Marluxia (The Graceful Assassin)

Marluxia starts the battle by placing a counter on Sora. This counter indicates the number of hits Sora can take before its game over, regardless of his HP. The counter level is the same level as Sora, so the higher the level, the more hits Sora can take.

Unfortunately, the higher the level, the harder Marluxia becomes.
The key to getting the upper hand against Marluxia is to Reflect and Guard against everything. At the end of his swirling scythe attack, Marluxia is wide open for one of two Reaction Commands. One deals significant damage while beating Marluxia back. The other replenishes Sora’s hit counter a bit and knocks Marluxia back. Both are extremely useful during this battle, so be on the lookout for opportunities to use these Reaction Commands as the fight progresses.

Marluxia will often default to another rather annoying attack. He’ll appear in the middle of the arena and summon three large pits of dark energy. Naturally, you don’t want to get stuck in one of these pits. Instead, Glide around in circles to avoid landing in one of the pits, as well as any of Marluxia’s other attacks that he will undoubtedly try to use against you. Eventually the pits fade away, giving more opportunities to hit him with a combo or even one of his Reaction Commands. This pattern will continue for a majority of the battle.

When Marluxia starts getting down to the wire, he’ll start using his ultimate attack. He’ll become invulnerable and loom over Sora, raining down energy shots in the surrounding area, all while charging up for a devastating scythe attack. Simply Glide around in circles to avoid this attack and keep hammering him when opportunities present themselves. Keep your hit counter in check, as you will need to keep it AND your HP up if you want to succeed.
